"Is this the little boy i carried? Is this the little boy at play? I don't remember growing older, What the...hay?"

Well that's not exactly true, because we are feeling every bit our age. Listen in as the gals interview Lora's millennial son, Zac. Her firstborn, and the baby that was rolled from one side of the crib to the other because Maelyn was nervous about picking him up as a newborn. We hear about His new professional life on Queen Anne in Seattle, his personal pronouns of choice, and how every day moments become celebrations with Meg, his wife. Is he truly in an arranged marriage? Do millennials shop at IKEA? And what really happened that fateful night in a canoe on Bainbridge Island? Listen and find out!

A vintage Fisher Price collection that consists of the iconic barn and garage, a castle, the hospital (including a gurney and the x-ray machine!), and the cabin (to name just a few) OR some toilet paper rolls, a shoebox and some felt and pipe cleaners. On today's episode of Stretchy Pants and Straight Talk you'll learn which of the gals played with the items above in their youth.

One of Mike and Maelyn's favorite quotes is from Best in Show when the Jennifer Coolidge character who is married to a toothless nonagenarian describes their relationship by saying "We could talk, or not talk, for hours." Unlike The Melville's who enjoy any excuse to talk or not talk to each other, in this episode of SP&ST the gals discuss a TED Talk given by radio host Celeste Headlee titled, 10 Ways to Have a Better Conversation.

In a time when texting trumps the tête-à-tête we could all benefit from a refresher on the art of having good conversations. So, put down your phone, put on your stretchy pants and sit back and enjoy some straight talk on potential pitfalls to having meaningful and gratifying conversations.

Life. Nature. Communing with God. Napping. These are the sacred things of life (according to Lora and Maelyn).

Hey! What's that down there by your bellybutton? If it's your boobs you better listen up sister!

In this episode rather than hearing about Kiddie Kare Kits (yes, it is an unfortunate acronym) and pre-schoolers packing heat, Maelyn and Lora will discuss their experiences as the employers of babysitters when their kids were young. They'll share the secrets of grooming the perfect sitter (hint: don't skimp on their pay you cheapskates!), where to hide the snacks (probably not the best idea if you want to keep them happy) and the things our sitters did that drove us crazy. Allowing your infant to roll off the changing table and bottle propping so you can goof off and ignore your offspring come to mind.

Put on your stretchy pants, pour your fizzy drink of choice and get comfy. It's time for some straight talk with your new best girlfriends!
