Summer is HERE! Are we excited?

Is marriage even necessary? Maybe once but to do it again? See: Bennifer.

Who the guiltiest boy?? The most guilty little poop face boy? It’s Trump!
How are we feeling about it?

Anxious children. We were them, we have them, we love them.

Let’s go back to some hilarious comments on GOMI about Michelle’s old blog. She’s got a rebuttal ready. And it involves food stamps at Whole Foods.

Remember inappropriate Halloween costumes? Were you ever a hobo, a geisha, Pocahontas??

Dressing by gender norms and expectations. Where do you fall on the new femininity scale Michelle just invented?

Let’s go back in time to Michelle’s baptism

Shopping carts - how do you put them away?
Greeting cards and goodie bags - to do or not to do?

We went to concerts recently and just really want to talk about them.

Michelle is on a “semi sober curious journey” - let’s check in on that with a question from a listener.

Vicki’s kid went to sex ed this week and the collective response surprised her entirely.

Another bullying conversation.

When your waxing lady starts talking nonsense but you’re still spread eagle…

And for the grand finale - there is a BIG CHET DAVE UPDATE!
(If you don’t know who Chet Dave is, go to episode 101, 102, 103, and then part of 140)

RIP Mr. Spurlock. We’ll never forget Super Size Me. Listen to the Maintenance Phase episode about it!

Bladder queens, at your service.

Michelle is sober curious, except when she’s not at all.

Concerts are cool, you should go to one. Also, boy bands. And hotties of the 2000s. It was a time.

Regarding the sad case of a dumbass NFL kicker: “A Bear Would Never Say This”

Vicki got a new/old car and yep, change is still invigorating!

Fasha wants Michelle to produce a YouTube channel for him. Should she?

“I was a bit of a Karen” - Michelle summons the HOA rules and regs once again.

Parent Teacher Orgs and a shit ton of pizza. Is PTA talk boring or like, super relatable? We’re not sure, honestly.

A sexy scene at the nail salon.

Some Grateful Dead history - and there are WAY MORE than 150 songs. There are over 450!

Vicki is loving Hacks on Max and The Veil on Hulu

Passive aggressive moves are not woke, Scouting America though, is!

Trump is back in the news more and it’s only just begun - this year is gonna be A LOT - do we share on social media like we did back in the Trump years? Is our opinionated era back or are we still exhausted from how we were? Essentially, the question is: to post or not to post?

How do we approach friends with regret or concerns about our behavior? When we feel like something needs to be addressed, how do we do it with compassion and love? And then how do we respond with the same generosity - because we must.

Support friends, support their endeavors. Vicki started a new podcast about her city - if you’d like to follow, find it wherever you get your podcasts: People of Vista

Frustrations with your spouse - how long can / should we hold it in?

Periods! Yes, they sync up.

Michelle is a professional athlete now, have you heard?

Peloton chats - we love Rebecca Kennedy! BUT Michelle didn’t always and we’re asking ourselves, what is it when our first instinct is to not like someone?? Is it really something we don’t like in ourselves? Is our envy? (Reminds us of our book club book: On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen)

Let’s talk about Heartstopper, the TV show! And about how important it is that we’re all having open conversations about sexuality, identity, relationships, allyship, friendship with our kids. Start early!

Michelle is loving Maya Rudolph on Armchair Expert - so funny! Her show Loot too, check it out.

This episode has it all. A classic example of the UMcast where we jump from topic to topic, thought to thought, without regard for well, anything really. It's the kind of hour you enjoy and then forget about entirely once it's done, but you're somehow happier, lighter, a better person after.

TWL:
Michelle is loving the BEST show ever: Love on the Spectrum
Vicki is loving the BEST face lotions ever: Olay - the combo buys from Costco
