This episode we FLIP the fluffiness, and call ourselves out for being fluffy and unaware of the world of adoption. So what better way to learn than to explore through firsthand experiences?

First - we look at some interesting and debatable data from twin studies of identical twins adopted and separated at birth, and ponder how much of our lives are influenced by environment and the choices we make, OR how much of is actually pre-determined. (Jill also threatens to replace Jenny with her doppelganger, but that's just a typical episode...) 

Then, hear our Zoom interview with Tina, who adopted her daughter, Claire, from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Tina offers us a very insightful and emotionally impactful perspective on the adoption process. (There were tears...we're not going to lie...) 

Finally, we play a little game called "Who's the Adopted Celebrity?" and you'll find out which of your favorite celebs are adopted before Jenny & Jill discuss a potential future business endeavor that involves breaking s#$t and puppies. (Preferably in that order.)

Ahhhh....siblings. We love them, we despise them, we hit them with a curling iron... (That's taking a page from Jenny's book.) Join your FMfL crew as we kick-off our April Fool's Day episode talking about the biggest fools of all: OUR SIBLINGS! 

First, we talk the major things siblings fight about growing up, and what to do if you find yourself lost in the shuffle. Then, we talk advice for those fluffy situations that would lead one to write, "Dear Abby - I HATE My Siblings", and how parents are much more influential than they might believe. 

We wrap it up discussing some of the most epic April Fool's prank fails, a few better, more innocent pranks to try at home, (unless you want to go for an epic fail, then...take pictures!) AND Jill tells a quick true life tale of how she accidentally almost became a REALLY awkward police situation.

Join your FMfL crew as we dip our toes into the world of online dating. First, we hear some first-hand listener experiences in the online dating world, and talk 2 of the BIGGEST (or perhaps smallest??? - you'll get that joke once you listen) issues in online dating. 

Then, we get all philosophical on your a%& in a segment called, "Homogamy, Shomogamy" and ponder whether or not online dating is making us more open to the variety of eligible candidates out there for us, or the opposite.

Finally, we wrap things up with our first "Sunshine Out the Hoo-Hah" segment to leave you feeling all warm and cozy on the inside.

As we continue Season 1 on Relationships, we take a twist in the fluffy fun to connect our common engagement practices with the celebration of St. Patrick's Day!

First, Jenny, our Irish-descended host, takes us through a few facts about Irish history and culture, before talking about the Irish Claddagh ring.  

Then, Jill talks rings and engagements in American culture, with a segment entitled, "If You Like It Then You SHOULDA Put a Ring On It???" (Clearly NOT referring to any song in particular...)

Finally, the FMfL crew does their best to honor Jenny's Irish heritage by playing a game called, "Luck of the Linguistically Irish" - where they question whether or not you can be "too Wisconsin". (Spoiler alert: The answer is yes.)

We've got a special guest (or two!) in the house for this one! Our friends Kent & Jenn Sommer from Sommer's Awkward Acres Farm in Clintonville, Wisconsin are in the house! (You can learn more about their farm, classes, and all that resides there by clicking on the "After the Show" Blog on our website - fluffymotherfluffer.com) 

As we're talking the differences between male and female same gender relationships, we wanted to bring in some outside perspective of the sexually-defined male kind. Kent (with guest starring by the fabulous Jenn) shares with us his thoughts about same gender relationships as Jenny questions if there are TRULY differences between the gender-defined stereotypes. Kent then joins with great insights as Jill challenges the concept of bromances altogether in a segment called "Bromance in History". (Say that with a slightly annoying echo and you've done it right.) 

Finally, since we can't let our special guests leave without partaking in some ill-prepared, slightly embarrassing game, we play "Name That Sexist Movie!" with patented buzz-in sounds you HAVE to hear.

We're hitting part two of our episodes on Friendships, and this time, we're talking Besties. 

First, Jenny takes us on the journey of how and what makes someone a best friend, and we talk possible methods for making new besties in the adult stage of life. 

Then, Jill talks about a potential contender of the bestie type: The Pestie. (And no, a pestie does not refer to the demons children turn into after 8pm.)  

Finally, we'll finish things up with our first ever "Bad A#$ Mother Fluffer" special segment, with a story of a mom who showed true heroism and courage.
