The Mugly Truth Podcast

Kris and Kym talk about The 2018 Mindset List out of Beloit College in Wisconsin. The list helps college professors wrap their heads around where their newest student's heads are at as they first step into the halls of upper education. It's an exercise in understanding that some of the things we take for granted have never been heard of or experienced by our kids (or grandkids). Move over Millennials! It's the age of the iGens! Listen in and learn about how their world stacks up.

Kris and Kym welcome Kim (not confusing at all, yeah?) about the whys and hows of long term relationships (and marriage). Amongst us there are two divorces, one pending divorce and one 31 year wedding anniversary. There are lots of "why?", "how?" and "seriously, WTF?" questions about how the hell to stay with one person for a year let alone a lifetime. Listen in for some great answers and a few guffaws. And Kym probably has some story of mischief from back in the day (or last week).

Kym and Kris delve into conversations about relationship happily-ever-afters, red flags, why some couples don't work out, how to smuggle hooch into a dry wedding, and the happy-fuzzy feelings we get when we see older couples walking hand-in-hand down the street. Oh, aaaaaaand...coffee and bacon.

Kris and Kym welcome Stacy, who talks about successfully escaping an abusive marriage. But before you despair about things getting too dark and heavy, Kym is there to lighten the day with a few revelations that has everyone raising their eyebrows. It's mostly fun and games at The Mugly Truth, but we take domestic violence VERY SERIOUSLY. Therefore we also cover resources on the internet to check out (with safety measures in place) if you feel you or someone you love may be in an abusive relationship.

Kris and Kym take a few minutes to catch up...there's a LOT going on! California fires, ER visits, surgeries, playing the accordion, retirement and travel, travel, travel!

Kris and Kym share some of their favorite social media destinations; the Instagram pages, YouTube channels and podcasts that make the daily grind bearable! Check out what makes us laugh, sigh, go "aaaawwwww" and utter "whatdaheckfire?!?" Maybe you'll find a new page, channel or podcast to follow!

Both Kris and Kym are only brats. Today's episode covers to great and not-so-great aspects of growing up as only children, both from rather dysfunctional households, and the choices that were made regarding having and raising daughters of their own. As always, there is humor to be found even in the darker revelations. Laughter and a few well-chosen words make it all seem perfectly okay.

Oh boy. When caffeine and the subject of traffic mix, well, let's just say this episode is more NSFW than the others. Who DOESN'T let a few curses fly when you're being tailgated, cut off, boxed in, almost hit, chased, and blocked every day in your commute? The problem - at least in Southern California - is just getting worse with the population continuing to grow. So, yeah, there is some salt getting flung today. And even some actual curses...which happens to be a fun way to let off some steam and laugh.

Kris and Kym carry on with trying to manifest lovely, cool, comforting Autumn rather than face the fact that it's California in Summer which is essentially hell on Earth. So to bring this manifestation about, the talk turns to spooky ghost stories, eerie dreams and other paranormal occurrences throughout their lives. So sit back with your comforting mug of java, grab your blankie, and prepare to shiver in fear (cause it definitely won't be from cold) as we celebrate Julyoween!

Kris and Kym forgot some things in the Disturbia episode, so here's Disturbia Redux, a teacup episode – a kind of short shot if you will – of even more phobias, neuroses, and all around nonsense.
