We have returned! Max visited for 3 weeks recently and it was during a super busy three weeks. So busy, we couldn't even film an in-person episode!  For this episode we discuss:  

So happy Max got a taste of performing and loved it so much they want to come back for more.

The housing market in Los Angeles, as we all know, is a nightmare. Ahead of Max flying back in to go apartment-hunting, they have been looking online and compiled an ongoing list. It's much too early, but we wanted to get an idea of what we're in for.

Most of us love a good rom-com, or anything portraying some sort of onscreen romance. Some of those we aspire to have. But what those onscreen romances don't prepare us for is the post-honeymoon phase part of the relationship, where it gets REAL.

Therapy CAN be expensive. Therapy CAN cost more than just money. But to Max, finding the right reasons to invest in their mental health makes it all worth it.

It wasn't exactly fate or destiny that brought me and Max back together all those years ago. How we got to where we are now in our relationship and our own lives, wasn't a fluke either. We both consciously made life-changing decisions. Making those choices and the resulting changes may have been jarring at first, but here we are, and we couldn't be any happier; polyamory and all.

Things and sometimes people make us feel angry. It's something not a lot of people enjoy feeling. Also, not everyone wants to be around an angry person... but it happens.

The movie Turning Red really brought up some not-so-pleasant memories for Max and some parental concerns for me.

Max and I discuss what actors have to go through to get the physique "worthy" of a superhero role.

Growing up being the only "female" child in a Filipino household, Max understands the pressure Mei (Turning Red) and the Madrigal Children (Encanto) feel to be the "perfect daughter" (Alexa, play "Reflection" from Mulan)
