Gabrielle’s brother Horst Kendler joins us for a second hour. He came all the way from Austria to appear on the podcast. The Too Posh girls think it is a great idea to discuss One Night Stands only to find out that Horst cannot stand this conversation, hates the thought of it and does not see the need for this nonsense. Spyder on the other hand happily tells us about his experiences.
Somehow the conversation takes a left turn and we talk about all the gross things that are being sold on ebay, like toenail clippings, etc. We are so disgusted and outraged and Gabrielle’s brother is very confused at this point what he has gotten himself into by appearing on this show.
Just when we thought this show couldn’t get any funnier and crazier Marcella decides to read the 12 most common sex injuries that could happen to him or her. Horst is becoming more and more tortured by these topics of conversation and his shock and outrage leaves everyone in hysterical laughter. We cannot wait for this youtube video to go live. Horst is left completely traumatized, but he does tell us that he would love to move to the United States because everyone is so friendly here.

We welcome Cruz III as a co host to this show.
Vivian tells us all about her experience when she tried out to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and was featured on the Hit CMT Reality TV Show "Making the Team." 2 years in a row.
It all started with her being an Apache Belle at Tyler Junior College and how she fell in love with dance.
After losing 30 pounds she tried out the first time for DCC and instantly became the first fan favorite on the show Making the Team.
She was in awe of all the support she received from family and friends. She went through training camp but that year the directors let her go right before the team was chosen because her thighs were too big.
She was devastated but also hopeful and determined to come back the next year.
Her focus became losing weight and it consumed her so much that it became an obsession. She counted every calorie she put in her body and spent every possible moment in the gym.
She takes us through the second auditions and how once again she made it to training camp. This year though the producers made her into a character and manipulated scenes so that she would appear self absorbed and better than others.
This is the total opposite of who she is in real life. Right before the final team was being picked Vivian could feel that Kelly Finglass was about to call her in the office and in a last ditch effort she wrote them a poem.
The poem meant nothing and they cut right to the chase and told her that they didn't want to take a risk with her and let her go a second time.
Vivian says that the producers set her up and she was devastated how they destroyed her character on an International level and that it prevented her from making other teams and people would gossip about her.
This experience has been the most tragic in her entire life because they defamed her character. She lost so much and she got so much hate mail with really nasty messages.
Vivian developed bulimia and never felt good enough, not pretty enough.
Marcella gets very passionate about how reality TV producers have no qualms about anything and will do whatever it takes for ratings and views.
Vivian gives a very inspiring speech to everyone especially the younger generation on how to love yourself even at your worst.
Marcella talks about how trying to be perfect can become an obsession in this industry.
Vivian had to unlearn the brainwashing and she says she just recently healed from it after 5 years.
She talks about her spiritual journey and that she has created a YouTube Channel and is writing a book to inspire others.
She has gone through healing hypnosis and her and Cruz start talking about spirituality and connection with the universe that leaves us speechless because we can't relate but we will do another show to learn all about it.

Vivian has amazing energy and is a light to others.
She tells us about her upbringing which was very poor with a single mother and 2 half siblings. She was alone a lot.
She was very shy, too sweet which made her a target to be bullied, manipulated and taken advantage of.
She drops the bombshell that she was sexually molested at the age of 6 by the grandfather of her half siblings. That grandfather was also molesting her half sister as well as several cousins.
Vivian always makes the best of every day, no matter what the circumstances are. She feels like she has lived many different lives in this one life with lots of different levels of trauma.
She doesn't know if her own Dad even knows that this happened to her, because they had a roller coaster relationship for years. She is happy to say that they have since made up.
Vivian has been a writer her whole life and that is a way she copes.
She shares that she was raped while out on a date at Tyler Junior College.
Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: Why do men find high heels so attractive? Women say they do not wear them when going on a date with an ugly man, because they don't want to have sex with him.
Question of the Day: Can you accept a compliment or does it embarrass you?

Enrique Cruz joins us to share his heartbreaking story about his late wife Laura Avila who tragically died after plastic surgery gone wrong in Mexico.
He starts by telling us how he met the beautiful Laura in El Paso 16 years ago at a Fashion Show.
Cruz admits to having been a big time player and womanizer before he got serious with Laura. She changed him to become a better, more respectable man.
Laura was his person and he knew instantly that he would marry her one day.
Laura was a very commanding person and the boss in their relationship and he was totally fine with that. He actually loved it.
He tells us that when you grow up in a border town like El Paso or Padre Island it is totally normal to cross the border to Mexico to go to doctors and hospitals.
Cruz takes us through the details of surgery day at the Rinocenter in Juarez, Mexico - from the normal nervousness before surgery to him getting back to the clinic early to make sure everything was going ok.
He had received no phone calls from the clinic during the duration of the surgery.
Upon arrival at the clinic he was told the surgery never took place because something went wrong with the anesthesia and they were just waiting for it to wear off which should be within the hour.
4 hours went by and Cruz kept demanding to see Laura, but they always refused. When he finally goes back to see her he found her convulsing.
Laura was left a minimum of 6 to 8 hours laying in the back of the clinic after an allergic reaction to anesthesia with no urgency to get her emergency medical help. She was not even given oxygen.
Finally an ambulance was called and it was then that Cruz learned the seriousness and grave situation Laura was in.
The anesthesiologist Dr. Ciudad Juarez made a fatal mistake and administered an epidural in the wrong place in her spine where the anesthesia went to Laura's brain instead of her spine.
This caused her brain to be without oxygen for over 1 minute, making her brain swell, her kidney's fail and she went into cardiac arrest.
Laura's mother had no idea that Laura was doing this surgery, Laura wanted to surprise everyone later.
Cruz recounts the days of the ICU stay in the hospital in Mexico, to her Mom and sister arriving and then how complicated it was for them transferring Laura to University Medical Center in El Paso.
Laura's sister caught the doctors from the Rinocenter red handed trying to change information on Laura's medical charts while she was in the hospital in Mexico. They were trying to cover up their mistake.
They had to get security involved.
The University Medical Center in El Paso had to inform the family that there was nothing more they could do for Laura and that they would have to make "THAT DECISION" as a family.
Cruz describes the days of him staying in Laura's room, while she was hooked up to so many tubes including a feeding tube. He describes the agonizing times the desensitized nurses would carelessly stick long
needles into Laura and he could see that it was painful for her and even would see tears form and run down her face.
It was so difficult for all of them to make the decision to take her off all the machines and transfer her to a hospice facility.
Cruz says that every day he could see her disintegrate more and more.
One of the catholic priests from Laura's Mom married Laura and Cruz on her death bed.
Laura passed away on November 24, 2018 peacefully surrounded by her husband and her family.
Cruz had not realized how big this story had become in the media and that it had reached international attention. He told Laura that she was famous right before she passed away.
Cruz says that there are different angles of everybody's sides in this story but it all ends the same.
Cruz and 30 family members and friends traveled to Tulum, Mexico where they spread her ashes and celebrated Laura's life.
We learn about the closing and reopening of the Rinocenter and that Dr. Ciudad Juarez is still working. We learn how political it is in Mexico and that they are still trying to file charges.
Cruz wants everyone to remember the positive things about Laura's life, not just the tragedy how her life ended.
Cruz thanks everyone that contributed to the GO FUND ME that raised over $ 80.000. This money is helping the family with the hospital bills as well as attorneys to try to get Justice for Laura.
He also thanks the entire Venegas family from El Paso because it was them that introduced Cruz to Laura and it was them that were there and helped them in so many ways through this ordeal.

We welcome back Valerie Wilhelm to give us a recent update on her life. We give a shirt recap on how traumatic and tragic her life had been and how far she has come.
After the suicide of her husband she picked up the pieces and is an incredible single Mom to her 4 children who are thriving.
She tells us some absolutely SHOCKING developments of how she has gotten taken advantage of, of how the system was used against her. while she was at her lowest.
She shares a heartbreaking video of her going "ANGER ROOM" on her deceased husbands car that is infested with rats.
Valerie has given power of attorney to her parents because she can no longer handle all the stress of probate court etc.
Valerie tells us that she looked at her husbands death scene photos. She had to hire a Private Investigator to get pictures and information from the Irving Police Department in Texas,
but was told to stop digging.
She found very, very disturbing evidence and says that the death scene was manipulated. She then discovered that her late husband had a life insurance policy that was supposed
to pay her and her children a lot of money.
She went to a fraud detective and created a paper trail. She has the smoking gun, knows who pulled the trigger and where the bullet landed. She is determined to get to the truth.
Somebody else filed for Jeff's life insurance which is insurance fraud.
The CFO of Valerie's late husbands company was found dead 5 days after she filed a lawsuit. When there is a lot of money there is always greed.
On a positive note in Valerie's life she has started dating a widower that she has known for 9 years and they are in a sweet, new relationship and madly in love.
We are so happy to say that there is life after tragedy.
Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly:
Why do some men struggle to have an orgasm in the evenings verses in the morning
Question of the Day
Is a lap dance cheating?

We start the show with the announcement that J LO and Shakira will be the halftime show at the 2020 Superbowl. That sparks a discussion about the post plastic surgeon Dr. Galanis from Beverly Hills made on Instagram.
Dr. Galanis is concerned that idolizing J LO and her beauty at her age are not based on reality.
Marcella who is a huge J LO fan loves that she doesn't allow her age to define what she is going to wear, what movie she is going to make and to Marcella she is simply goals.
Marcella also does not believe that you should ever say you are old and she goes on a rant about it.

Question of the Day: Have you ever been cat phished?

We are very passionate about this show as we read the controversial article written by Sharon Grigsby where she suggests that The Dallas Cowboys should retire the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
The article was published in the Dallas Morning News and inspired by local author Karen Blumenthal.
Marcella gives a heartfelt speech about the passion of being a dancer and how many young people are inspired to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
People fly from all over the world to be a part of America's Sweethearts.
Marcella tells us about one of her 10 year old students that cannot wait to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
When watching the CMT TV Show "Making the Team" you can clearly see how passionate the women are that are trying out.
Gabrielle's brother flies all the way from Austria every year to watch the Cowboys game.
There were 1200 little girls that attended the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader junior workshop this year.
We are all very frustrated by Karen and Sharon's opinions and we are suggesting that both women should put on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader uniforms and try to do what the Cheerleaders do,
before placing such harsh judgement.
We also extend an invitation to both ladies to come on our show so we can have a discussion about this subject matter.
The Cheerleaders work very, very hard, look incredible,are smart, have jobs, are highly educated, are mothers etc. and we are frustrated that the Sharon's and Karen's of this world are looking to cause problems for no reason.
Marcella then talks about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Director Kelly Finglass who she admires and looks up to and has the utmost respect for.
Marcella says that she was not a Dallas Mavericks Dancer for attention but because she lived to perform.
Bernie talks about some of his Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader friends who are highly respected and have amazing careers.
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are highly respected and incredible role models that are held in the highest regards.
Why would you want to do away with them? IF there were some that are messing up then maybe make the argument but they are not.
Marcella then talks about how difficult it is to be a dancer and being told NO NO NO constantly and how hard you have to push. It takes a lot to get up on stage and be judged.
Marcella talks about the strict rules that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have.
She shares with us what happens after you make the team. Then she tells us what happened to her when she had a major wardrobe malfunction and she flashed 30.000 fans during her Dallas Mavericks days.
We are offended that Sharon and Karen act like the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are dumb asses and then read one of our Too Posh models Krista Nicole Burrell post about being an educated women that also models bikinis.
No matter if she is wearing a swimsuit or a blazer she still is a classy, educated woman and amazing mother.
We shouldn't be judged by what we wear but you can definitely judge us by our behavior.
We talk more about Kelly Finglass and how you want her respect.
Kelly Finglass is set in her southern traditional ways and that uniform has been around for 47 years and she is so particular how their bodies fit and look in it.
We absolutely love the article written by Paige Skinner that was published in the Dallas Observer that there absolutely is room for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Her points are powerful and extremely well written. She talks about how extremely athletic they are etc.
We read Kelly Finglass comments
The Dallas Cowboys uniform is in the Smithsonian museum.
