Our guest this week is Nat Strawn. You may remember her as Alison’s mean, Pakistani Pilates Teacher. Nat is also a very funny comedian and social media goddess. You can check her out here, here, here, and here.

During the Absolute Worst Therapy section, Nat helps us answer some listener questions and we begin by helping a woman who wants what she can’t have. We also try to set boundaries in an apartment dwelling and then try to convince another listener to go to a wedding.

We end this episode with some of Nat’s Absolute Yoursts which results in Alison and Dana offering her a plethora of clearly needed therapy.

Alison and Dana ALWAYS want to hear your problems, advice, feedback and Absolute Yoursts! You can contact them through their website, friend them on Facebook, or follow them on Instagram and Twitter. If you are looking for a way to support us, you can donate to AWP here.

As usual, we’re off to a rocky start. After a harrowing beginning, we hear from a listener who’s crying through her homework, but she claims this is a good thing. We also hear back from the woman whose show we fixed via dialect coaching. She tells us all about her show in NY and you can learn more about her at her website: www.therachelstern.com. We also fan-girl over a woman who fan-girled over Tim Gunn and one of our listeners gives Alison a tip for cheaper pregnancy tests. We end the feedback section by discussing Alison’s enormous boobs.

During the Absolute Worst Feedback section, we help a woman to GET OUT!!! And then we teach another woman that money is stupid.

We end Episode 81 with an Absolute Yourst that reminds us to hate authority.

Alison begins Episode 80 by begging Dana to go to couple’s counseling. We also discuss baby shower etiquette and financial resentment.

The Absolute Worst Feedback section begins with a podcast suggestion for Dana and this reminds Dana that her life is falling apart. We also hear back from the woman who was nervous about vacationing with her estranged father’s immediate family and turns out, she didn’t get murdered!!! We then hear from another woman with an absentee father and realize that we’re all in this together. In response to the Canadian Milkbag woman’s doping scandal, we meet a Las Vegas librarian who shares a drug information portal from The National Library of Medicine. Type any drug into the portal to see a list of side effects, why the drug is prescribed, etc. https://druginfo.nlm.nih.gov/drugportal/. We end the feedback section with a beautiful email from a woman who may have found love again…with her husband.

During the Absolute Worst Therapy section, we meet a woman who is real dumb (HER WORDS!). We also meet a hermit who is trying to spice up her life.

We end this episode with an epic Absolute Yourst that involves a U-Haul, a lawsuit, and a marriage!

We start Episode 79 by discussing babies, AWP merchandise and the new network that our podcast is a part of, Utter Clarity. We then jump over to the feedback section to get some more information about CBD oil and then Dana gets complimented on her birdcall. We also hear back from a woman regarding her mommy issues and another woman confirms that the name Weenie is pretty common. We end the feedback section by discussing our favorite topic — foreskins.

Our first question is from a woman who is trying to navigate three relationships with three baby-daddies and while trying to offer a solution, Dana and Alison almost get divorced. We also try to determine whether or not unicorns are real.

We end this episode by re-visiting Dana’s homeland, The Deep South.

In Episode 78, several listeners beg us to share our thoughts on the current political climate — no.

After we get that bullshit out of the way, we’re able to turn our attention to the bigger world topics like why it’s important to use Monistat chafing gel as a makeup primer and whether or not work slippers are appropriate. We also meet yet another listener who is reconnecting with previously unknown family members. We also meet a CysterSister and Alison once again attempts to start a dating site.

During the Absolute Worst Therapy section, we meet a woman who is grappling with meeting her biological father for the first time. AND WE MAYBE CHANGE DANA’S MIND THIS TIME! Afterwards we meet a miserable attorney whose life we potentially make worse.

We end Episode 78 with an Absolute Yourst that brings the house down…or at least the sink.
