Tell Us How You Really Feel

It's a lot of soul/psychic/sex/death chat honestly. And we think it's a good time. So, press play already. 

Oh! and a small White Lotus spoiler but don't worry, we warn you.

Tell Us How You Really Feel

Let's begin with a pop culture rundown:
White Lotus!
With Love, Meghan - let’s hear a clip!
Anora!
Chelsea Handler and a clip from her new book!

Are you spending less in this political climate?

Could you marry someone who is the complete opposite politically?

Yes, kids, feel your feelings, cry but also, can you stop crying already?!

Michelle might get fired from the PTO and as we always say here at the UMcast, failure is growth. 

TWL:
Vicki is loving libro.fm for audiobooks - support Through the Fold
and Storygraph as a replacement for Goodreads
and Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino

Michelle is loving Just Haven’t Met You Yet by Sophie Cousins 

Would you run a marathon for $8K? Ok, but there’s a catch and it involves milk.

Tell Us How You Really Feel

Have you seen Chappell Roan's carpool karaoke? You simply must. 

We listened to the Diabolical Lies episode about Lily Phillips and OMG do we have thoughts and feelings, and CLIPS! We highly recommend you listen and share your t&f with us. This is the gangbang episode we talk about: Sex with Strangers

Story time: Goldilocks aka Michelle and the Three Vibrators - too hard, too soft, just right! 

Kids and sports and aggressive competition and now Vicki's crying

Speaking of aggression: piñatas - we all hate them, yes? It's time to stop this outdated charade. 

Let's discuss White Lotus (the female friend gossip), Severance (our true innies want out!), and Paradise (violins on the titanic vibes) and a bit of an Oscars moment - NOTE: potential spoilers - Listen to this part at your own risk!

Zoe Saldana's winner speech brings us to a fun discussion of mixing languages/ commitment to the accent/deep intense expression/speaking novice Spanish - we listen and we absolutely judge. 

Have you read Guns, Germs, and Steel ? Do you wanna read it with us? 

Silent Disco! Bingo Loco! Drag Queen Bingo! - sign us up for all of it 

TWL: 

Vicki is loving her new Wellness Journal 

Michelle is loving her new Olive & June peel off gel kit

Tell Us How You Really Feel

We’re still in a bad mood but nothing like talking about a hand job to perk us right up.

Lots of sex tangents. It's like memory lane, you'll agree.

We mention Natasha Bedingfield but we really meant Natalie Imbruglia. Ahem, our bad.

Bedazzled - do you love that movie as much as we do? Also, Brendan Fraser was hot. 

Deviation count: 238

Spam texts  - Michelle went down the rabbit hole to investigate for ALL OF US

Vicki has a new job, she thinks.

A way to keep the anxiety away - never think about the end because it’s not real. And it never could / should be.

An important UMcast update. See you in the Springtime, lovers!

TWL:
Vicki is loving two books! 1. The Kids are All Right by Ben and Gabrielle Blair 2. All Fours by Miranda July

Michelle is loving a boring, simplified life full of will power - the one where she has no caffeine, no alcohol, and no sugar. Damn. BUT she recommends the Peets Decaf Keurig pods.

Tell Us How You Really Feel

Moving our bodies every day is keeping us sane, mostly. Fully support.

Perimenopause update from our resident 43 year old. It’s not great but together, we can handle it. Right? Tell us that’s right. Please.

Stories from a trip to Georgia and lessons on visiting family, securing a rental car, and potential kid injuries. Another fight or flight moment.

Have you listened to the Modern Love episode with Andrew Garfield yet? Did you cry or like, not at all? Team Vicki or Michelle?

What would we bring in a disaster / evacuation situation?

Does cutting alcohol and caffeine out of your diet completely change your life? TBD

The election - WE ARE KEEPING THE FAITH. VOTE HARRIS WALZ - like, for real. We believe in the good in people. Prove us right. Tell everyone!

Oh, also, what do you think about this matching tattoo? VMXVII

TWL:
Michelle is loving so many things:
Sweats from Target, new earrings, Ali Wong Single Lady on Netflix

Vicki is loving RHONY and all the housewives franchises - a new one for every day of the week. It's a great time to dive in!

Tell Us How You Really Feel

Look, the things just kept popping up, taking charge of our emotions. And so, we’re calling this therapy as we process our most recently hated things together. Feel free to chime in! What are you hating lately? 

TWL:
Michelle is loving her new jewelry cleaner - it’s a brush! And The Wild Robot movie - she LOVED.
Vicki is loving the documentary Will and Harper on Netflix - so gooooood. AND the movie, My Old Ass, also so gooooood.
