Every so often, a pair of voices rises above the noise — offering not just entertainment, but something deeper: connection, comfort, and joy. Right here in Rapid City, South Dakota, Jenny Schmidt and Tina Heinbaugh are doing just that.
What started as a playful TikTok video — a spontaneous moment involving a trash bin and a simple question, “Whatcha doin’, Tina?” — has turned into a full-blown movement of love, laughter, and community. Their videos, posted under the handle @our605life, instantly struck a chord. The world was craving exactly what Jenny and Tina were naturally offering: joy in the mundane, humor in the chaos, and authenticity in a world that often filters it out.
Whether it’s Tina riding a unicorn scooter through Uptown Mall, blowing leaves in the forest with a backpack blower, curing hot flashes with comic flair, or simply installing custom truck parts — each video is packed with their trademark mix of silliness, heart, and unmistakable charm. Their playful energy and deep connection have attracted a vibrant and supportive online community that just keeps growing.
And now, the magic continues with The Unicorn Projects, a podcast recorded at Homeslice Media in the heart of Rapid City. Created in response to overwhelming demand from their fans, the podcast dives deeper into their stories, their humor, and the heart behind it all. Hosted by Amy Rose, each episode invites listeners into their world — where conversations flow easily, laughter comes often, and everyone is welcome.
With four episodes already out and new ones dropping every Thursday, the podcast adds a fresh layer to their growing influence. On Friday nights, Jenny and Tina also go live on TikTok for “Mocktail Hour,” a laid-back, feel-good hangout where fans can connect in real time, follow up on podcast episodes, or just enjoy a little lighthearted fun at the end of the week.
Jenny — a United States Navy veteran, Stevens High School alum, and founder of Black Hills Advocate — brings a deep well of compassion and advocacy to everything she does. Tina, a PGA member and creative force at NBC Sports, brings the humor, thoughtfulness, and steady energy that keeps their content as grounded as it is entertaining.
What’s happening with Jenny and Tina isn’t just cool — it’s inspiring. And for those of us lucky enough to call Rapid City home, it’s deeply meaningful to see two of our own turning everyday life into a beacon of hope, humor, and healing for people everywhere.
The Unicorn Projects isn’t just a podcast. It’s a reminder that extraordinary love can grow from ordinary moments — a shared laugh, a spontaneous question, or a unicorn scooter ride through the mall. Jenny found her unicorn. And through their stories, their joy, and their generous hearts, maybe they’re helping others find theirs, too.
