Tell Us How You Really Feel

Happy Valentines Day! Happy Chinese New Year! Wear red this week - we bet it’s your color.

We’re still talking ACOTAR over here and no spoilers but we are going to discuss our feelings about it.

This week’s UMcast Anonymous Q: “So intrigued that you watch porn with your husbands! Have you always? Tell us more!”

And so we will. Let’s talk about porn and marriage. Very NSFKids. Please take note.

ALSO! Holy discovery on the “fantasy porn” search. Mouths A-GAPE!

Lots of marriage talk here - how to resolve issues, how to express ourselves in an open, vulnerable manner, and how essential those moments are.

TWL:
Michelle is loving Griselda on Netflix and the book OOna Out of Order
Vicki is loving this season’s Real Housewives shows, especially Beverly Hills

Tell Us How You Really Feel

We have found the solution to the winter blues! Plan a mid-Jan vacation, a little getaway with the one you love, book it now and you’ll be so happy when January 2025 rolls around.

What are your hobbies? Inappropriate music? Incessant reading? Sports?

Speaking of reading, we’re offering a little encouragement for anyone who has NOT read Fourth Wing or ACOTAR yet.

Does anyone REALLY have sex 5 times a night? C’MON, Larsa.

What’s the deal with porn lately? Is OnlyFans the new destination for everyone in that industry? Should we do a investigative series on OnlyFans?

How do you feel about an open marriage? Any part of it seem sexy? How about if say, Gal Gadot were involved?

NEW Segment Alert: UMcast Anonymous takes the first listener question, which is essentially “I hate my engagement ring, what do I do?” UMMM, we have advice for that.

TWL:
Michelle is loving her new ice roller - “so refreshing, depuffs her puffs”
Vicki is loving her cutie pill case for each week - “I feel so accomplished when it’s full before the week, and then gone after the week. It’s like a to-do list.”

An interlude for a few memes courtesy of Vicki’s kids.

And finally, our intentions for 2024.

Plugging The Animal Pad - a San Diego dog rescue that we support wholly.

Tell Us How You Really Feel

Days off as a working mother and the turmoil they bring.

Giving ourselves permission to do what we want - and giving permission to others when they need it.

Where were you when you heard Colorado said No Sir to Humpty Dumpty Trumpty? We were both in our kitchens surprisingly. But here’s a clip from another podcast (shoutout: The Run-Up) that exhibits how the evangelical peeps feel so tied to Trump. It kinda scared us.

Michelle is getting a puppy! Joyous day. Let’s discuss dog stuff. Support The Animal Pad! https://theanimalpad.org/

A new game you can play with friends - what do you love about me? K, tell me! I’m ready. But first, what’s your favorite road trip snack?

What we got our husbands for Christmas - see: listening devices, cozy shoes, shower essentials

Secret Santa shenanigans and some religious extremism - fun!

TWL:
Michelle is loving a hair mask from he Fab Fit Fun holiday box - Amika Soul Found Nourishing Hair Mask

How about we start with the usual banter? Ah, just like the old days.

Body Image - such a constant that it wasn’t an immediate target on the therapy list but turns out, it’s a big one. A duh.

Fact check:
- Chuck E. Cheese did have ball pits
- Justine Bateman was NOT in The Facts of Life - I meant Family Ties
- Mayim Bialik’s Podcast Episode with Justine Bateman is here

Our apologies for the political / current event intro but we kept it in the name of being uncensored. But if you’re not in the right head space, feel free to skip ahead 7 mins or so.

Middle School was hard for most of us, yes? Let's do some healing for that pre-teen baby heart.
