This episode NOT for Children, you have been warned!

We're out of Crap we're Thankfuller For and ready for some irreverent Holiday talk! (DO NOT LET LITTLE EARS LISTEN!) Your first Christmas gift of the season will be a special intro from Dark Andy! Afterward, unwrap a very impromptu episode where we learn Erin is at the top of the Nice list, but will she last? Her Hangry Diet and Gypsy curses might move her to the "other list"! Lara is at the top of the nice list too, because she let her hubby give her a, well, you gotta listen to find out!
Shaela was not meant to be a scout leader, and couldn't be happier about it!!    And lastly but most importantly, are you one of THOSE people we want to flog with Christmas tinsel? (Who are "those people"? Listen to find out!)
Embrace the gift of simplification, and welcome back to random episodes!! Listen now on podbash.com!

The time for figgy pudding is almost here, which means our "Crap we're Thankfuller For" series is coming to a close. Shaela and her sexy husband Josh take over the lounge this week and share their journey of heartache that, in the end, brought them together. As a bonus, they share some dating advice (Tinder, anyone??) and also have a HUGE plea for all divorced peoples: BE A DECENT EX!! Sit back, relax, take notes, and join us as we listen to this amazing couple!

There's no easy way to say it, so here it is....we're talking about sexual abuse this week. This episode has been months in the making! We are very blessed to welcome special guest Tina, an amazing friend of the ladies, who endured sexual abuse for 12 years as a child. Here's the thing though...this is far from a downer episode. The way Tina tells her story, gory details and all, is spectacularly uplifting. This is a must listen for, well, everyone! Not just parents!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here's to being thankful for all of our "opportunities", as Tina calls them.

"You can do it," are simple, yet life-changing words. This week, we are joined by Margaret, an incredibly brave woman who took that ever important first step. That step led her away from a life of polygamy and into a new and divine world she never thought was attainable. No matter what your journey is, everyone can relate to this amazing woman and gain strength from her story. Gear up for an amazing hour and "Embrace the Suck!"

*Parents...This is a good one to have your kids and teenagers listen to. For many reasons.

As if Kasey's episode wasn't emotional enough, Lara and Kevin are back this week with a heart-to-heart conversation about their son, Maxx. What happens when your "Soccer Mom Dreams" are shattered? Where do you turn when you can't help your own child? How do you tell your spouse you feel completely alone on your parenting journey? Well, we have very few answers, but what we CAN tell you is that you aren't alone. Whether your child has autism or any other struggle, it's high time you found out you're not alone, and the rest of us have no clue what we're doing, either. And as my mom used to say, "Everything will be ok."

Side note: Since the recording of this episode, Maxx has been formally diagnosed with autism and is now under the care of an amazing psychologist.

It's that time of year! Uncomfortable Thanksgiving table talk, our families forcing us to go around the table, taking turns to say what we're thankful for....
Well, we are starting a new tradition in the lounge. We're talking DEEP!! Someone grab Kasey a couch to lay down on, because she's kicking off the month by remembering some dark times in her life. Why?? Because those crappy times are what made her the woman she is today!! Kasey gives us all a powerful message of Control VS Love, and how thankful she is to have been able to learn from her experiences and become the powerhouse that she is today!! Grab a tissue box and get ready for some raw emotion!

It's finally here!! It's the LOTRP Halloween finale! Time to read your incredibly spooky stories and pick a winner of the Jack and Sally painting! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who sent us stories!

But first...Kasey's back!! And she REALLY misses Italian pizza! What are the ladies' views on teenage trick or treaters? What's your opinion of the Teal Pumpkin trend? Has Lara changed her mind about Pinterest and Trunk or Treats? NO!! Clowns in Erin's neighborhood?? Seriously???!! Don't even try that in Kasey's neighborhood! All this, some "behind the scenes footage", and awesome listener shoutouts!! Happy Halloween!!!!!

(Parental advisory!!! We find uses for some major swears in this episode!!)
Halloween season continues at the lounge! But first, what is your favorite swear??? And which of these delicate words have the ladies inadvertently taught their children??
After a Kasey update, the ladies dive right into more personal ghost stories. After that, we bombard people and capture their ghost stories at none other than Lagoon Amusement Park!! (Did we see you there??) We also give you a little history on the park, and why it is the perfect place to get spooky and be spooked!!

The Month of Halloween goodness continues! Lara and Shaela are gearing up for trick or treating at Disneyland (while Erin pouts in the corner), and Kasey is still somewhere in Europe. What are the ladies' favorite trick or treating memories?? To Trunk or Treat, or NOT to Trunk or Treat?? The ladies say NAY!! If kids want our candy, they have to work for it! What are the ladies' favorite urban legends and scary stories?? (We have a whole bunch! Roanoke, Headless Horseman, and the Union Station, oh MY!) Lastly, what is Erin's spirit animal? Listen now! We're ready for you!!
