Fearless And Braless

Natasha and Robin delve into the world of their boys who seem incapable of showing gratitude, yet they’ve got their attitudes perfected. What’s a mom to do? What about when she’s a single mom, without a partner to help play good cop / bad cop? And why didn’t anyone ever really warn us about how just gross boys can be?

Robin is trying to set boundaries at her new job while also meeting the needs and demands of a newsroom. Meanwhile, Natasha is quitting her job in exchange for valuing herself more than her pitiful paycheck.

Natasha hopes she has “wallet karma” when she loses hers at Target but the bigger story is she has a whole new hot dad to get excited about. And that’s all that matters in this episode.

Robin has gone back into the office and can barely put sentences together, plus Natasha has trouble with a very common cliche that both women spend far too much time trying to decipher.

Natasha reveals news about some exciting auditions and Robin explains why she’s taken a brand new, full time job. The two also get into the idea of New Year’s resolutions, Natasha’s street-cred worthy bicycle fall, and Robin’s renewed love of Venice Beach.

Robin and Natasha share a valuable lesson about doing research before a podcast and why it matters to everyone, especially Betty White. They also discuss Natasha’s affair with a member of a very successful rock band, the status of the autobiographical sitcom she’s pitching, and Robin’s Dave Matthews Band stan. Yup, stan.

Robin and Natasha read a quote from Betty White that perfectly encapsulates the difference between the strength of a woman vs. a man as illustrated by the strength of a vagina vs. the sensitivity of mens’ balls. After dissecting the age old clichè to “grow a pair,” the conversation only gets better from there.

Natasha shares the story of a back breaking event that she both produced and performed in, and what her plans are for the not-as-big-as-she-was-hoping payday, while Robin explains how she posted a low level job position with entry level pay that caused a lot of social media hate. At the end of the day, everyone is getting what they pay for, and therein lies the lesson.

Oh the trials and tribulations of being an uninsured woman with health problems. Natasha shares her unique and somewhat bizarre health issue that has puzzled her for years, and what doctors now think it is! And Robin discusses the often frustrating world of living with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Buckle up!

Robin and Natasha dig deep and delve into whether nature or nurture plays a bigger role in their boys’ rudeness, lack of ability to be considerate, and speak kindly to their mothers. And really, who’s role is it to teach them proper etiquette, anyway?
