Not Another Self-Help Podcast

Amy and Andrea are back with a mixed bag, bonus episode! And well, the future of NASH-P is looking pretty damn grim. They start off the show by sharing what did and did not happen when they pitched a podcast media company. They then move on to discuss their various interactions with human poop. You’ll hear all about young Amy’s turd burgling experience. They then take a trip down memory lane and offer updates on topics NASH-P listeners know and love, like, an update from Andrea about the worst diarrhea drink ever and how Amy finally received the face diaper to fix her resting frown face. Middle aged injuries also make a comeback. Finally, they offer some thoughtful advice about getting consent before flashing your butt, your boobs, or your pom-pom pubes. And with that, they sign off from the pod for an unknown amount of time. So for now, yes, this is the end. No seriously. This is the end. Bye, bye.

This week, Amy and Andrea warm up the mics by venting about some of the things they are sick of during these “uncertain times”  aka “Ew, COVID!”  They then turn to a conversation about poop. Yes, another podcast episode about poop. Come on, we know it’s why you love them. Andrea shares a cautionary tale about the worst diarrhea drink...ever. Since this is the last episode of Season 2, they decided to go out with an explosive (poop) bang.

Amy starts off this episode getting right into the fun and sass, by prompting Andrea to, “Tell me your awkward sex stories.” Talk of a bean bag chair sex mishap, an herbal ecstasy fail, and a pyrotechnic pillow ensues. Andrea then shares about the time she decided to moon the Vegas strip, at 10am in the morning, in broad daylight in protest of a wicked hangover. 

Eventually, they get around to answering a question about feeling stuck from avid listener Jane Donut. Jane writes, “Now I feel desperately stuck. I'm so very, very clear that I need to get out, but I have no idea how, or what that looks like. Please help!”

This week, Amy and Andrea ponder the question, “What’s your quarantine shaving routine like?” Amy shares that she has been keeping up with maintenance somewhat, including shaving her delicates and leaving a landing strip for good measure, just like any self-respecting Gen-Xer would do. Andrea, on the other hand, is angry that pom-pom pubes (you know, the tufts of hair that hang out of your bathing suit) are not socially acceptable. Before they dive into a self-help question, Amy provides an update on her issue with her resting frown face. Don’t worry; she is trouble-shooting the issue. Her two-step plan to overcome frown face includes face diapers. She has everything under control. They finally answer a self-help question from one-named wonder, Vart. Vart wants to know what she can do to overcome imposter syndrome. They gotchu, Vart, they really do.

How to Stop Feeling Like Shit by Andrea Owen

Amy and Andrea begin by sharing their thoughts on a lame podcast review (whomp, whomp!) and how Andrea is practicing some life-coaching skills by leaning into her feelings. Vaginal weightlifting is then discussed. Oh yes, that is a thing. They then move into a middle-aged conversation. So, have you ever injured your shoulder by taking off your sports bra? Welllll, one of these two ladies has, listen to find out which one. Andrea also shares about the time she threw out her back while picking up a gallon of milk.

This week, Amy and Andrea begin by confessing their adoration for NASH-P listeners who have shared their period poop stories with them. Awww…..they love you and your stories! Then, a conversation about vaginal flatulence, aka varting, is revisited, which leads to a more in-depth discussion about tampons. That’s when Andrea realizes, with the help of Amy and a WikiHow article, that she has been inserting tampons all wrong for 30-years.

Amy and Andrea begin with a game of, “Guess what’s my favorite?,” and discuss some of their favorite listeners' submitted feedback. Then, Andrea starts a conversation about farting during sex: find out who has done it and who has not. Oh, Amy and Andrea also get schooled by Siri on the topic of vaginal flatulence. Hilarity ensues...because vaginal flatulence. Amy interviews Andrea about her various peeing methods; including an in-depth discussion on how to pee in the wild (you’re welcome). They finally stop talking about pee and farts and start talking about personal development. This week, they answer a question about self-worth.

Amy and Andrea warm up the mics with a few middle-aged conversations about aging skin (ugh), resting frown-face, and the complexities of TikTok challenges as 40-something-year-old women. Later Andrea wonders why nipple clamping is a thing, which leads to a discussion about sex fetishes. Talk of peanut butter dicks, toe-licking, and “fruit roll-up” condoms ensues. Keeping up with the sex-theme of this episode, they answer a self-help question from Jesus Condom (not of the “fruit roll-up” variety) on making peace with embarrassment.

Amy and Andrea are back! They start off Season 2 by sharing their Top Ten List of To-Don’ts During the COVID-19 Pandemic. Including, don’t cough in each other’s buttholes, don’t buy any coronavirus test kits from Craigslist, and don’t cut your bangs (seriously, don’t even think about it). Amy then throws back to Episode 1 and provides an update about her blue dildo, “Hey Mr. DJ.” Andrea uses Amy’s story to segue into a conversation about vagina candles and vaginal boogers. This is a class-act show, people. Class-act. They finally (eye-roll) offer empty-nester, Ms. Jen Good-ChisChis, some advice on how to focus on where she wants to go and what she wants to do with her life.

Amy and Andrea reminisce over Season 1, including topics like spina bifida, long vaginal canals, and you guessed it, period poop!  In this bonus episode they also answer listener questions of the non self-help variety. Questions like, “Why did Amy move to North Carolina?” or  “Have you ever seen a legit glory hole in person and if so, did you interact with it in any way?” or “If you could wake-up tomorrow having gained any quality or ability, what would it be?” Plus, they answer some infrequently asked questions submitted by one of their biggest fans. And if you loved Season 1, hang tight because Season 2 will be coming later this Spring!
