More Or Lex

Lex and disco have special guests! Meet Ann Speyer and Chris DeJong, a couple who attend the hippy gay Mennonite church with disco and, coincidentally, are both from West Michigan. They talk about relationships, volunteering in Cameroon, and how they grew up two miles apart but didn't meet until they each moved to San Francisco. This is the most SanFranciscan episode yet!

Lex and disco work out their dream cast for a remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and have a discussion about trying to talk while dreaming.

Episode fact check: Richard O'Brien did not live in Texas, and did not write the play while going to university there...

disco tells Lex about the concert series he used to run, and they review their recent trip to Michigan: seeing snow, getting White Castle, drugging a cat, determining that disco's son is now taller than he is, seeing Star Wars in DBox, and singing Queen with his youngest daughter.

We're recording on disco's birthday, and are immediately derailed when his mother calls. Lex is a little nervous about meeting disco's family at Christmas, and tells a story about trying to shave her legs. We talk about seeing the Star War, how amazing Carrie Fisher is, and the play A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.

We finally get back on track with Lex' updates on NaNoWriMo and her breast surgery, and of course we talk about cats.

Call us slow, but we have been so excited about bringing you this podcast that we realized we didn't start it off with any explanation of who we are or what the show is about. Oops. So this is our "start here" interlude, wherein you can get a little more info about just who these Lex and disco people are, where they're coming from, and why they're doing this podcast.

You can talk back to us via email at [email protected], or through all sorts of social media. Visit us at http://moreorlex.com/ and you can find links to us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat, and more. Thanks for listening, tell your friends ;-)

Our friend Anna requested an episode on tits, and we're happy to oblige. This episode the discussion is about body image and Lex's experiences with breast augmentation, including a very recent surgery. We will keep you abreast of the situation.

Lex is doing NaNoWriMo again, she and disco talk about her previous attempts to complete the NaNoWriMo challenge and what she's doing differently this time, with the usual digressions and goofs along the way.
