The Mugly Truth Podcast

Today's episode continues a trend in our recordings lately, which is nothing ever seems to go as planned. Our main topic is about the good ways people are using social media, we can't help but talk about all the s*** that hit the fan the day we recorded (like Kym's cat getting an industrial sized fish hook caught in her paw), how being true crime addicts have affected us as moms, and how on Earth Kris took so long to finally watch Outlander, which we're sure was made specifically with her in mind.

How amazing it is to look something up as soon as a question is asked? To keep in touch with loved ones hundreds or thousands of miles away? To post creative works for the world to see? That's the beauty of the internet. The downside? Addiction to checking our phones, frustration over political rants, FOMO, misinformation, comparing our lives to others. Today we talk (ok, rant a bit) about the effects social media has in our lives and how we manage to muddle through it all.

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.
