Today's episode starts off where last week's left off...meaning, we're on the tail-end of the gardener's diligent work with the leaf blower...but (ironically) GOOD NEWS!! There are only a few minutes of that whirring beast and then POOF it's gone and we get into the real stuff of the episode: four upbeat, positive, wonderful stories to combat the depressing and hateful news that is everywhere these days. Be prepared to smile. Well...after the leaf blower is done. Oh, also after Kris does the most ridiculous Scottish accent. Mooch the Pooch even makes a few comments here and there.

Nothing speaks to the topic of a show as perfectly as today's episode...we talk about falling into the trap of expectations. The difference between unrealistic versus realistic expectations and most importantly how people react when expectations aren't met. Do you lose your freakin' mind or do you roll with the punches? Today's episode will test your answer. 

When we say MayAhem, we mean it. We've been busy, busy, busy and it is barely mid-May! So we decided to pause, breathe, and catch up. So of course, when this episode was recorded, things turned into just one of those bizarre, off days: technical difficulties, symbols of evil (or not?) and possible car thieves notwithstanding. Want to hear all the weirdness? Go for it, we've got it all on a platter for you.

We pay homage to one of our earliest episodes (Disturbia and Disturbia Short Shot) by going over a list of really hard to pronounce words but this time it's allll about the good stuff...things people enjoy! Join us as we stumble and laugh over all the big phile words. And please, try to not judge us too harshly. 

Today Kris and Kym discuss the mysterious, yet familiar. Cosmic puzzle pieces fall into place in today's Excellent Psychic Adventure! Join us as we explore the realm of spirit guides, third eyes, misaligned chakras, soulmates, karmic contracts and the sounds of nature. One of these things doesn't SEEM like it belongs, but it does. Things will all make sense. Shhh. Don't speak. Just...trust us...trussssst ussss...

Anyone who has listened to The Mugly Truth knows our go-to holiday shout-out is Arbor Day. So, why not devote a whole episode to it? We talk about how Arbor Day came to be, the importance of trees, how much we (and by we, we mean Kris) love trees, and then get totally shipwrecked on the island of 70's kids television shows. It's all related, in true TMT fashion. Look. Don't ask, just sit down, put on those headphones, grab your mug, and get ready to hug a tree or two.

Getting back to our spooky roots, we revisit the topic of ghosts but this time focus on one of the most haunted places in California: The Queen Mary in Long Beach harbor. There's something for every fan whether it's nautical, World War II history, Southern California attractions, Long Beach history, British history, or GHOSTS...the Queen has it all. We talk about Kym's recent stay, room B340, listen to purported EVPs, and listen to Kris get all giddy about her own upcoming stay!

Today Kym and Kris discuss concepts behind Netflix's latest phenomenon Marie Kondo's Tidying Up (along with some of our famous topic detours). Do you know how to properly fold and store clothes? Do you know the meaning of "spark joy"? Have you thanked your home and belongings for their service to you? We talk about these and the freeing experience of purging during the moving process. If clutter is adding anxiety to your life but you aren't sure you can get rid of The Stuff, this is the episode for you!

Today we talk with Terin, a long-time friend who is one of the most inspirational people we know for lots and lots of reasons. She joins us to discuss being the parent of a transgender daughter, and how having Vivian come out was a "non-issue" for their family. International Transgender Day of Visibility is right around the corner (March 31) and we can't think of a better way to participate.
