In Lemonade Beyoncè said, “Grief sedated by orgasm. Orgasm heightened by grief,” and the Chapmans believe she was on to something.

In this episode Mikey and Randie discuss how grief has affected their sex life. Together they detail sex before and after Noble, how sex has evolved, and then end the main segment with advice for grieving couples.

Later, the Mr. brings a fight questioning the ways Randie takes care of herself. But it’s all love when in the end they show each other some PDA.

As always, Mikey and Randie thank you for tuning in to this special season and they hope to encourage you to have conversations about pleasure even when you’re in deep grief.

It’s been a long time since Mikey has dropped an Indie and if you think he’s been stalling, he has. Still, while it’s hard, the father half of the BMM Podcast knows not talking about Noble is not an option.

Join him as he details why it’s hard to talk about his deceased son, how he fears he’s just too angry, and worries that no one cares. Later, he discusses the ways he’s been taking care of himself in an effort to get himself out of his hole. After all, he did promise Noble that he would try.

As always Mikey is grateful for the people tuning in for this special season and he hopes it encourages someone to open up about their grief.

"Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," translates to "I am in great pain, please help me." And it's from the Rick and Morty show.

Irrelevant? The Chapmans think not. When they weren't watching TV to help their pain, they were receiving help and support to guide them back to life.

And in this episode, Randie and Mikey share 10 things they received that's not food or money that helped them in the early days of their sorrow. From planting a tree in Noble's memory to openly admitting his death is really that bad, the couple acknowledge the love they received and how it helped them.

Later, Mikey brings a fight questioning Randie's parenting tactics. But it's all love in the end when they show each other some PDA.

As always, the Chapmans hopes you take something away from this episode and that it helps you support someone you love when they are experiencing deep grief.

Randie's here with a bonus episode she didn't expect to record. In this Indie episode the shorter half of the BMM podcast is here to tell everyone she's really not okay.

With a message that is sometimes read and sometimes not, Randie reveals how she has tried and failed to manipulate her grief and tried and failed to fake the funk. In fact, every time she tries to run away from the pain and from her uncomfortable grief, her inner child screams--"LOOK AT ME! WHY WON'T YOU ADMIT THAT WE ARE HURTING."

Thus, tired of hiding and being yelled at, Randie faces the truth: this shit sucks. And also ...why did her baby have to die?

Tune in. This episode is especially for those who are grieving and lying about it. The Mrs. hopes that by listening to this episode you feel empowered and encouraged to admit where you are.
