David and Mama Sanchez discuss his gap year from college and his decision to finally confront his stuttering in a bold and unorthodox way… by backpacking across the country. David tries to fool his mom in a game of “2 Truths and a Lie” by telling three shocking stories from his year of traveling (stories include a rivalry between homeless groups and transcendental meditation hot tubs…). Finally, David debuts “Word Switch” by providing insights on how using the words “good” and “bad” to describe moments of stuttering are harmful for self-esteem, and he introduces new language for promoting stuttering acceptance.

David and Mama Sanchez are joined by their spouses (Amy and Michael) to discuss the ways David and Mama Sanchez disclosed their stuttering in their relationships. Amy and Michael roast the hosts in a game of “Who’s more likely to…” before wrapping up the show with their Top 10 Things David and Mama Sanchez Won’t Tell You But You Need To Know. (If you want to play along, follow us on Instagram @stutterpodcastrepeat to cast your votes for “Who’s more likely to!”)

David and Mama Sanchez discuss their experiences around David’s speaking role in his 5th grade school musical “The King and I.” They play another experimental desensitization game, The Sing’s Speech, in which they sing famous speeches and literary works to the tunes of famous songs (warning: David can’t sing). The Sanchezes end the show by debuting the Top 10 moments you should not sing what you say.

David and Mama Sanchez introduce themselves and talk about Mama Sanchez’s earliest memories from when David first started stuttering, including how her experience with stuttering influenced her fears as a parent of a child who stuttered. Mama Sanchez helps David test out an ‘experimental desensitization’ game called ‘Sound Salad’ before David wraps up the show with ‘Advice From Kids,’ a segment where David asks kids who stutter to solve problems that all people who stutter face… stuttering or otherwise. Special thank you to Dougie for lending us his wisdom on stuttering, hot dogs, and in-laws.
