Back Galley Banter

Are we progressive and open in our thinking or are we hindering forward movement with our beliefs?

Kat & Mya question their possible "double standards" when it comes down to feminism as well as their appreciation for men/male energies in our worlds.

Rest In Peace RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) you are a legendary hero to us both!

Listen. Learn. Love.

In Kindness. In Safety.
In Unity.
Much Love!

They thought it was episode 16.
 But alas, their heads have been a flurry lately and after pulling both of their heads out of their collective busy asses, it was discovered that THIS is in-fact Episode 15!

The BGB Gals discuss Love Languages as outlined in Gary Chapman's best selling book "The 5 Love Languages".

Is there a difference between the way we show affection vs. the way we receive it?
Discussion ensues on ways the gals have expressed love and the importance of how they perceive love.

Mya read THE book and knows the languages well.
Kat wasn't (and still isn't) interested in the full read and simply took the quiz... twice.

WE want to know What is YOUR Love Language?
Do you know? 
It might surprise you.

Whether you have been a horrible boss or if you have had one... Kat & Mya can relate!

Join us again this week in the Back Galley for a real and honest chat on a few of the more memorable experiences the BGB gals have had in their lives regarding Horrible Bosses.

(and you may or may not need to Google search the definition of the word "Beard" from the Urban Dictionary...just sayin'.) 

Carrying On and Keeping On.
 
Kat and Mya continue their talk on "Beloved Books and Humanity" from Episode 11.

Mya schools Kat on the difference between "Canadian Content" and "Comic Con" (2 VERY different things). 
And then the BGB gals realize that they each have their own references for rain boots and somehow a discussion on the different generic terms for condoms takes place.

Finally, Kat tries to explain herself with an action that has Mya explaining to the masses that a "shake weight hand motion" is what occurred but was definitely not intended.

Kat & Mya  deliberate on the upcoming school year in this time of Covid. 
Kat's daughter weighs in candidly on her experiences with school and other challenges in these times, and then the BGB buddies discuss influential teachers and their differences in being "the delinquent or the good student". 
An honest and real talk ensues about a school yard fist fight that had both Kat & Mya giving respect and remembrance to a childhood buddy of Kat's that tragically passed away a decade ago.

The BGB gals get a bit more serious and introspective on this episode.
A conversation that began to cover some of their favorite reads actually became a real and in-depth talk about functional depression, race inequality, gender roles and a look at our world today.

And, as a big thank you to all of our valued and dedicated listeners Kat & Mya are happy to offer a fun and hand-curated gift box as a contest giveaway!

WTF is a “platitude"?! (Kat had NO idea!)

plat-i-tude
-a remark or statement, especially one with moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful.

On this episode of BGB Mya enlightens Kat on this intense word and it's definition, as they discuss seemingly harmless and opposite questions that each of them have received as individuals in stages of their lives.

Round 2 of our fave type of convo together... Rapid Fire Questions!

Kat & Mya embark on  their first attempt at a "remote" recording episode while Kat is still on holidays and Mya is working her tail off at a new part-time job while she awaits a call from the airline that she has been "recalled to operate" in our beautiful skies again.

The Back Galley Banter Buddies consider a few personal questions to each other like "un-inventions", theme songs, and best life surprises and share a story that made them (among a few others) cry mutual heartfelt tears.

The Back Galley Banter Gals discuss one of Kat's favorite subjects!.... Weird True Crime.

They unintentionally discover a possible new Canadian delicacy called "Hockey-dogs" and then ponder two true crime cases of smuggling leeches, and using sleepwalking as a criminal defense.

As usual, Kat & Mya challenge each other and somehow even on this subject happen to find themselves in a fit of laughter by the episode's end.

Kat & Mya talk about a few of the many musical influences in their lives and touch on some of the various artists and moments that have helped shape the soundtrack of their lives.

Kat's daughter also unexpectedly makes her Back Galley Banter debut with a brief cameo and Mya realizes that losing a contact lens is all that it takes to catch Kat completely off guard!
