Stretchy Pants and Straight Talk

Join the gals in the last episode of season 2 as they talk about guests they have known and (not always) loved! And, as a special bonus for listeners - sing along with the Sultans of Spandex and non-alcoholic drinks that Sparkle to a few of their favorite refrains from Hamilton!

We know there are tricksters among us (you may even be married to one of them) but few can compete with Mike when it comes to a good old fashioned prank (or, in some instances, a death-defying dare)! Join the Ladies of Lycra and Fizzy Libations as they talk about the times they’ve been clowned, punk’d, tricked, hoodwinked and dared by the people closest to them.

In this weeks’ episode listen in as the girls talk about a whole lotta nothin’. If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Lora and Mae go broad instead of deep and cover topics such as Tim’s cookies, baby massage and bath products, and silly Mike’s phone shenanigans, this ‘cast is for you! Come on ladies, you know what time it is: stretchy pants. Check. Favorite fizzy drink. Check.

In this weeks’ episode, recorded from Lora’s lovely treehouse room, the gals discuss a range of scintillating topics from bathing and baby gear to bacon grease burns and road rash. Grab yourself a cold pop, pull on those crusty quarantine stretchy pants and sit yourself down in front of a house plant (so you can pretend you’re in the treehouse room with the ladies)  - it’s time for some straight talk.

In this weeks’ episode the ladies of leisure serve the tea on the hidden gem of a show - Escape to the Chateau! Listen in as they share their observations and love for charming hosts, Dick and Angel and their beguiling and endearing ways. Looking for your next binge?  The sisters of stretch and soda have got you covered.

In this weeks’ episode the gals dive in to a few of the listener questions they’ve received. You won’t want to miss out on Lora’s response to a listener’s Soft Mama question and a question to Mae on a few of her favorite skincare products!  Links to the items mentioned in the podcast can be found below.  Put on your stretchy pants, pour that fizzy drink and open up the new bag of Trader Joe’s milk chocolate covered pretzels you’ve been hiding from your kids - it’s time for some straight talk!

What makes a grandmother grand?  What kind of grandmother are you (or what kind will you be)? What lessons can we learn from our grandmothers?  Find the answers to these questions and an exciting, long-awaited grandmotherly reveal in this week’s episode! Put on those stretchy pants (we’ve never taken ours off TBH), pour yourself a fizzy drink and join us on Stretchy Pants & Straight Talk!

Do you need to be liked?  Not unlike George Costanza, most of us do want to feel that others like us (whether or not we like them is another story…).  Normally this is the part where we say, “Put on your stretchy pants” but we know that you’ve never taken them off (thanks COVID-19)!

We may not be advice columnists but we have a LOT of (unsolicited) advice to give. This may be why we’re so compelled to read advice columns on the regular.

Put on those stretchy pants and grab your favorite special beverage of choice – it’s time for Stretchy Pants and Straight Talk.
