The Harshe Podcast

January and Brandon are back talking about the differences between being Mormons and being heathens! They talk about Brandon's amazing Benjamin Button impersonation in which he was a balding, malnourished Mormon ten years ago! January talks about coffee (of course!) and the difference between choosing to abstain from alcohol for health reasons versus doctrinal reasons. Also, Brandon talks about the most offensive Mormon word he's ever heard, and you won't fetchin' believe it!

January and Brandon are talking coffee and tattoos once again! January goes into how she makes her killer iced coffee and Brandon looks out for the people while she does! They talk about tattoos they've gotten and tattoos they plan on, and January goes into why she plans on a snake tat in the near future! 

January and Brandon are talking about their favorite things from the '80s and '90s! January explains being "brangry," Brandon recounts the pain of his awful JC Penney wardrobe, and they discuss Vanilla Ice and his new line of work. Also, January tries to ignore how she bought tickets to wrestling and Brandon won't let the episode end without a mention of his favorite '90s show!

January and Brandon return from their brief hiatus to recap the Birth Without Fear Conference in Australia that took place in Sydney at the end of May! They discuss the reality of January going to Australia alone for a week while Brandon stayed home with the kids, preparing for a conference overseas and how January's grandmother helped improvise some of the conference preparations from 8,000 miles away, the speakers, and the impact the Harmony Circles at every Birth Without Fear event have on the attendees. They get sidetracked by Brandon's weird ass giggle and some Game of Thrones talk, but they manage to refocus nicely for your listening pleasure!
