Too Posh Podcast

We welcome Michael Bell with Dallas Half Acre Farm where he grows beyond organic produce. Michael is an extremely interesting person and his story has us spellbound and
never wanting to buy produce at a regular store again.
Not only is he an urban farmer in his free time, but he is a full time PE Teacher as well as a very committed husband and father to 3 young children. He is a huge Gary Vaynerchuk fan and
followed Gary V's blueprint from the Smurf message.

We start the show with our new segment 60 seconds rapid fire questions.

Then Michael tells us that he started farming at age 5 with his grandmother and that gardening had been a passion ever since.
He followed Curtis Stone a farmer from Canada that makes over $ 150.000 in 10 months with lettuce and Michael knew he could do the same.
Michael teaches us about the 3 levels of produce
1. you should never buy stuff at the grocery store that is not organic - it is awful for you.
2. he teaches us about the organic label and how it has been watered down in the last 10 years.
3. beyond organic - that is what Michael grows and it is so clean, fresh and pure that his children eat it straight off the plant.
His kids eat his tomatoes like candy.

He tells us the incredible story how he stumbled upon the land where Dallas Half Acre Farm started and how it cost exactly the amount his grandmother left him in inheritance.
It was truly meant to be.
We also learn how his wife feels about his farming. He delivers to local grocery stores and his demand is higher than he can even fulfill. A lot of his customers also come from the vegan community.
We discuss how the different temperatures can kill lettuce and plants and how especially difficult the Dallas Summers can be.
He is going to get chickens in a few months and will then offer eggs as well.
Michael full heartedly shares Gary V's belief on college education in 2020.
You can keep up with everything Michael has going on on the farm by following his instagram account.

Bernie has mixed emotions about how he feels about revenge.
We learn about how some people have gotten their revenge like
Why not just text his present girlfriend a sexy picture of yourself.
Paint the inside of their car or take a baseball bat to it, but make sure its the right car.
Gabrielle tells the story about one of her friends who got caught cheating and the husband shot up her car and threw all her clothes in the pool.
Marcella says she never thought of doing crazy things like that but she loses her mind so bad that she almost passes out from screaming.
Another form of revenge is the guy has to stand in the middle of the mall with a huge cardboard saying he cheated.
Tattoo artist tattoos poop on the back of girl
Bride found out that future husband cheated and she read all the texts between the girl and him instead of the vows in front of everyone
at the church.

Question of the Day:
What is the longest you would date someone without getting engaged?

The newest trend to affordable living especially in super expensive cities like Los Angeles and Seattle is Pod Living. It is designed for singles. In this episode we learn all about this co living project.
Some people love it so much they get their body tattooed with their pod number. Others have gotten married after meeting at the pods.
There is a NO SEX policy. It costs $ 12.000 for 50 square feet of space. The pods do not even have curtains and privacy can be a challenge.
The positive is that you do not need a security deposit or furniture.
There are also pod communities with lockable doors and that is where couples go to have sex and rent those for a few hours.
P and P with Miss Polly:
If your partner is really bad in bed and their performance does not satisfy you should you tell them?
Question of the Day:
Is it a red flag if your significant other switches and drops friends easily and has no life long friends?

Micro Cheating is like the little sister to emotional cheating.
Marcella joins us by phone because she had the flu.
So many different behaviors can be suspicious like putting extra effort into your look knowing this special someone will be at the office today.
Deleting text messages that seem harmless enough but you wouldn't want your significant other to read them.
Bernie gets VERY passionate about this subject. He says that "MICRO FUCKING CHEATING" is just justifying cheating.
You should never talk or flirt with someone that you have had sex with in the past. Spyder tells us what he does when he DJ's.
Bernie tells us that he is really respectful in his relationships because he has cheated and has been cheated on before and does not ever have to deal with that again.
And he wont accept it from anyone.
We all agree to always trust your gut. It is always right.
Marcella thinks not posting your significant other on social media makes it easier for you to cheat.
If your partner has a friend of the opposite sex and they text like crazy as if they are in a romantic comedy.
You watch them flirt when you are out and you can see by the response that this is not innocent. You have seen that look before.
Detective Gomez says that EVERY SINGLE TiME someone is guilty they make you feel like you are crazy.
Major red flags when your significant other makes your closest friends uncomfortable. If their closest friends didn't know you were dating for the longest time.
They start slow texting you back but when you are with them they never put their phone down.

Cuffing season means that you are looking for a boyfriend or a girlfriend during the holiday season. Spyder says it is the people version of hibernation.
This term is new since 2011 and it is a sudden pairing of content singles.
It is to have someone to cuddle by the fire, to kiss on New Years and to take to the office Christmas party. The official cuffing season starts in the fall and ends in the spring.
Preferably before Thanksgiving and after Valentine's Day.
There is an official website called https://www.ellischat.com/cuffingseason where you can get partnered up for cuffing season and it is easier to make new introductions.
Gabrielle and Marcella are horrified that you then have to have sex with random people, but Bernie tries to convince us that everybody is banging everybody anyhow. We then discuss if sleeping around helps you
get over a heartbreak.

P and P Talk with Miss Polly:
Why do some people laugh or cry uncontrollably after sex?
Question of the Day:
Do people really ever get over their first love?

Coach Larry Clay Lonis is back and in this episode he talks about his experiences and journey with churches and especially mega churches. He says that people walk around condemned because of their
history and focus on the negative. He says he felt freedom because he survived so much and now feels that he can survive anything.
In most cases fear holds us back from doing things. He tells us that the martial arts business is very melodramatic. and that people have tried to use his history against him.
In 2004 he opened another location of his Krav Maga facility in Grapevine Texas, but his business partner didn't want to pay him and started all kinds of rumors about him on public online forums.
He tore apart his reputation so nobody would want anything to do with him.
Clay made a big name in the industry and people either loved him or hated him.
He teaches us what Krav Maga is.
We learn that he was part of the Powerteam a church ministry team that travels around the globe ripping phone books, bend iron bars with their teeth, break huge ice boulders etc. This would get people's attention and then they would share their testimony.
They were doing all these inspirational things but were never allowed to use God's name in schools.
We then find out that Clay was put on a "WATCHLIST" at one of the megachurches because he got into a facebook discussion with a church pastor. He had posted about his personal feelings about mega churches because he
had found out how poorly they had treated a former employee. The mega church held a staff meeting about Clay and wanted everyone to watch him, who he was talking to, interacting etc. He was truly blacklisted.
Clay started studying etymology and was reading a book called "REORIENT" by Kevin Weave that everyone should read.
He believes that we have the right definition but the perception of the way churches operate is completely off and done completely wrong. He knows that it is controversial but he believes it is important.
He then gives us history about Constantine the pagan priest that established all the churches.
Clay wants to coach and help people and make a positive impact.

Question of the Day:
Your S/O wakes up every morning in a bad mood that lasts a couple of hours. They are rude and condescending. Red Flag or Dealbreaker?

Clay Lonis, a personal friend of our co star Bernie visits us and shares his absolutely mind blowing life testimony of being born into a world of neglect, abandonment, starvation, violence and extreme sexual violence.
He is a big believer that your history doesn't determine your future.
Clay shares that he was raped for a period of 6 months by young adults in his neighborhood at the age of 6 years old. He credits his little sister with being the only one that stopped this horrendous abuse.
His sister took on the mother role in his life, because his mom preferred dating around and leaving the kids to fend for themselves.
When it came out that he was raped his mother beat him up for it. She knew the entire time but didn't care. After she beat him up she sent him to school and told him to tell his teachers he was in a car accident.
The counselors immediately recognized that this was not a car accident and CPS got involved.
One of his step dads committed suicide and the next step dad was also extremely violent. His name is "Uncle Nasty". Clay used to be chased around the house with a 2 by 4 and lived in terror.
Most people that hear his story are shocked to see him smile and be a normal person. He has conquered and overcome a lot of things.
His Dad started Clay in martial arts at a very young age, but was in and out of his life. His grandfather was a pastor and the only example of a positive male role model he ever had in his life.
Clay says that most men have no idea how much of an impact they have on their sons and daughters lives and what a bigger impact they are going to have if they are not there.
Clay's teen and young adult life was littered with bad decisions until he hit a breaking point.
He tells us that he just recently reconnected with his mom after 23 years, because he has a 4 year old daughter and wanted her to know her grandmother who has changed for the better.
He has forgiven his mother for everything that has happened to him. He says with forgiveness there need to be boundaries.
Clay talks about his anger issues and that fear drove him.
He got kicked out of college because of a fight with the basketball team. He was angry but inside he was always scared.
This story breaks down the walls of fear, hurt and anger and its benefit is freedom with a true understanding of forgiveness.
From all the torment and struggle he does have severe PTSD.
"The most poignant moment of the show was when he tells us under tears that he told a christian counselor that he always remembered the beginning and the end of the rape - but he never remembered the actual act itself happening.
The counselor said : Let us ask Christ where he was when this was going on. They prayed and while they prayed he envisioned what he was going through as a kid and then he saw Christ covering his eyes."
The entire studio was in tears.
He says that it was because of God's protection, covering his eyes and plucking his ears when he needed it, that he was able to thrive once away from the abuse.
Question of the Day: Would you be freaked out if you found a camera in your partner's room without knowing?

Even Miss Polly is left a little speechless by this question.
Question of the Day:
How do you feel about guys with earrings?

The incredibly skilled journalist Alex Gonzalez who is a contributing writer for the Dallas Observer, Local Profile, Dallas Voice, Crave DFW and many more joins us.
We met Alex when he wrote a great article on Marcella when she starred in the Netflix Reality Show Dancing Queen. The article was titled "Marcella Raneri spills the tea on "Dancing Queen", self care, and handling rejection." and it was
published on October 22, 2018.
Since then Alex's career has exploded and he is gaining a lot of attention and the respect of everyone in the industry.
Most of Alex's work is online but some of his articles are printed in local magazines.
Alex writes a lot of articles about food, new restaurants, cool spots, art and culture and weekend events. He recently wrote a local food guide for people with dietary restrictions.
He tells us about the most inspirational story he has ever written. Then he tells us about the most shocking story he just recently wrote about the porn industry.
Alex tells us about his experience being a nude model in college. He did it as a part time job and still sometimes does it to make extra money. We freak out over the details of this situation and cannot even believe how nerve wrecking it has
to be to get nude in front of your peers.
The article "A Day in the Life of a nude art model" was posted online on September 9, 2019.
Alex wrote a very powerful article that is posted on Linked In titled "I am no longer working for free -- and neither should you" and he is very passionate about this topic.
He believes that when you are seasoned and no longer a beginner you should not be expected to work for free because it is insulting. You should always be grateful to your mentors, but you are not
obligated to work for them for free for your entire career.
Alex's dream is to go to work full time for a national publication like GQ, Billboard or his absolute favorite Rolling Stone.
We talk about Frisco, Texas becoming the first test site for Uber Elevate, which happens to be in our back yard.
The article published on September 18, 2018 and we cannot even imagine this future life of flying cars over our heads.
Alex put together an amazing article called "Best Non conventional date ideas in Collin County, Texas".
We are a bit shocked about the article he wrote that "Plano ranked 15th in the nation for infidelity". He tells us that he got to interview divorce attorneys for that article and he learned
that the biggest issue that leads to divorce is money and the biggest issue to infidelity is lack of communication.
An absolute incredible article called "29 acres to open living community for adults with autism" makes us realize how important this project is for so many people.
