Too Posh Podcast

We are re releasing this episode with our new permanent Co Host Bernie Diamond where he bravely tells us his story of survival after being shot. Bernie has been an incredible co host, who adds a lot of fun and excitement to each and every show. This episode will help you get to know him better. The Too Posh girls are super excited to welcome Mr. Bernie Diamond.We hear the traumatic and inspiring life story of Bernie. He tells us that he grew up sheltered and got sucked up in the Dallas Party Scene. After working at a bank he found his passion as a hair dresser and was working towards opening his own hair salon when tragedy struck. We hear all the vivid details of the fateful night when he got shot in a case of mistaken identity. With blood everywhere and his left hand dangling and only attached to tissue he ended up fighting for his life and hiding to avoid being shot more as the popping of gun shots continued around him. After spending 1 month at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, enduring dozens of surgeries to try to save his hand, they ended up amputating his left hand. At the same time both his Dad and brother got diagnosed with cancer.He battled with depression for years trying to figure out what to do next. His dream of owning a hair salon and his whole future as he knew it were all destroyed in a single moment. The bible verse Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God” helped him get through those tough times and he was certain that God had a bigger plan for him. He got into the medical industry to help others.

We start the show with Ralph telling us about recently losing one of his colleagues to pancreatic cancer and how there are 7 firefighters that have been diagnosed with cancer after they all fought the same warehouse fire. Ralph says that firefighters are often exposed to hazards that can cause cancer. We are thanking Ralph and all firefighters for putting their life on the line on a daily basis. Ralph says that firefighters really love it when they have the support of their community. His Station is in downtown Ft. Worth and he explains how many stations he is in charge of and we learn that he has had the most calls so far this year. There have been over 850 calls, that is more than double than the next busiest station. Even though Ralph is the Battalion Chief he still goes out on calls.  His fire station still has the poles to slide down, but the older guys don’t use them because sometimes they can get insured. We learn how quickly the station responds to calls. Ralph will not give us an exact number of people he has saved – we think it is because he is so humble, because we know that he has saved many lives throughout his 19 year career. He tells us that an emergency scene looks chaotic but when first responders arrive it becomes a carefully orchestrated symphony. Ralph’s station has a large Hazmat team as well as a high angle rescue team. We hear about the time when they rescued a window washer that was dangling from the side of the building when his scaffolding broke, that also injured someone on the ground. Such a dramatic story- we also have photos of this incident and will post the pictures on our Instagram and Facebook pages. Ralph tells us that he has guys that are highly trained special forces guys that save people from high rises and all kinds of situations. The test that you have to take to become a firefighter is difficult and you can not be afraid of height. The ladder as it extends gets smaller and smaller and every time you take a step it sways. Ralph is not only a Battalion chief but also part of the Texas Task Force. As a Battalion Chief he is a team builder and always trying to optimize the men and women to work in a group that works precise. Sometimes there is drama in the stations and that is exactly why they have ranks to keep everything orderly. Ft. Worth is one of the best departments in the country. Ralph has worked with special forces from all over the world. He then shares his scariest story where he and 2 other firefighters were in severe danger trapped on a roof on a 3 story building. He prepared himself to be burnt, but by a miracle he and the other 2 survived. You must listen to this story and we also have photos from this incident. Ralph then shares a few very important safety tips for everyone. PLEASE LISTEN – THESE CAN SAVE SOMEONES LIFE. Firefighters will check your fire detectors as a courtesy. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: How would you describe someone that is sexually literate. Marcella asks Miss Polly a very interesting question about cucumbers. Ralph tells us about some calls he has had to go on where guys with high blood pressure or other health issues took Viagra that didn’t end well. He tells us why he pulled his rank to not have to do something. We then learn about cock rings. Question of the Day: You are on a date, you go to their house after, place is a mess. Turnoff?

We welcome the amazing Battallion 2 Chief Ralph Diamond from the Ft. Worth Fire Department who explains the rank of a Battallion Chief and what it entails. Ralph is the brother of our Co Host Bernie Diamond whose incredible life story is on our episode 46. Ralph tells us about his upbringing and being the older brother of Bernie. They talk about their recent guys trip to Galveston and Nasa in Houston. Then Ralph talks about how he experienced the devastating news about when he was awakened in the middle of the night to hear his brother was shot. He immediately raced to Parkland hospital to be at his brothers side. He tells when he first saw him in the ER and that when he saw the severity of the injury to his hand he knew that his brother was going to be severely impacted by this.At the same time he was dealing with his older brother and father both being diagnosed with cancer. They are great examples that what you are going through is only temporary and it is not forever no matter how bad. Ralph became Bernie’s biggest advocate during his stay in the hospital. We ask Ralph if firefighters love it when people bring them food. He tells us about a man that brought them food on a daily basis for years because he was so thankful that they saved his daughters life. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: Why do women life men in uniforms and who are the best lovers?Question of the day: Would you rather be bald or have a man bun and for the girls would you rather have your man bald or with a man bun?? We get very strong opinions and we have a discussion about Fabio.

We start the show by looking at some of the case studies of the TV Show and how much weight the patients started with and how much they lost. There is another show called “Where are they now” that keeps up with their progress and we find it incredibly interesting. Then we talk about the untold truths about the TV Show, the shady pasts, enablers etc. The show sometimes performs surgery on untreatable patients. Dr. Nowzaradan specializes in the super morbidly obese patients.Marcella says it is sad to watch and that you only get one body in this life and to destroy it like that has to be devastating. Food is like a drug to lots of people and lots of people emotionally eat. We wonder how some of these people go to the bathroom and we find out they get bedsores. Some patients expect a quick fix and don’t want to do anything for it. Some of these patients have been featured on fat fetish sites like BBB. Big Beautiful Women where they pose in lingerie. There are people that shop on these sites for fat girls to marry. Supersized Bombshell is another such site. They complain about suffering from social stigmatization.We think that they are very weak minded and need mental help. Gino talks about how he was raised and how he was trained as a tennis player that he was held responsible for his actions.He says that he has never gone through life thinking he was owed something. Marcella agrees and says it is a POOR ME mentality. Then we discuss the very important “3 DAY RULE”. We talk about how nothing lasts forever – even the bad times. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: Are your potential lovers ever intimidated by you and your knowledge? Question of the day: Would you ever be in an open marriage?

My 600 lb life the TV Series is today’s topic. Gino cannot believe that is truly how people live and finds it hard to wrap his head around all of it. Gabrielle saw one episode and thought it was the only show until she started researching and was absolutely shocked that there are several seasons and how many episodes with different people there are. Gabrielle then tells a little side story about Marcella’s Godfather, the late Larry Iorizzo aka Larry Harrison from her mafia past and that he weighed over 600 lbs at one time. There are 70 different episodes on the show my 600 lb life. Marcella says that these people have a very unhealthy relationship with food as often shown on the show. Some of the spouses are very supportive and some are not at all. Bernie tells us that there are people that are trying to make themselves heavy on purpose. Marcella encourages everyone to watch the show FED UP on Netflix. Gino and Marcella are convinced that people that reach 600 lbs had to have started with bad habits in early childhood. They both talk about how they were allowed soda, sweets and snacks in moderation and only after eating fruits and vegetables first. The first season of my 600 lb life was filmed over a period of 7 years. There is also another show called Skintight which is a follow up show because they have to have surgery to get their loose skin fixed. Several people have died since appearing on the show. There are some people that have lost over 400 lbs. Some of them are bedridden, have to be weighed on a meat scale and transported with forklifts. Gino is wondering who is feeding these people. Bernie then tells all about how dangerous it is to be a diabetic and what can happen to you. Where are they now – we are following up on some of the stars from the show and their weight loss. Gino thinks that should give everybody hope because it is proof that it can be done. The first 100 lbs are the easiest to lose when you are that big. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: What is your most interesting, fascinating and weird case you have come across?She tells us about a customer that was looking for something for a prostate massage. From this conversation we learn that men can orgasm without an erection. Everyone’s mind is blown and she explains all the ins and outs. Question of the day: Is Having a good relationship with your partners family important?

We start the show off with Nudist Beach Etiquette. Marcella learns about fowls being birds which leads to Gino explaining MM aka “Marcella Moments”.Gabrielle tells about the time she was at a nudist beach as a teenager and was traumatized when in the grocery store in line to get cold cuts and surrounded by nude people. We discuss a nude flight people can take. We then wonder what happens when men get aroused at nude places and we learn all about the towel that every nudist is supposed to have with them. We learn that in Germany the nudists are called FKK which means Freie Koerper Kultur which translates to Free Body Culture. Bernie is contemplating taking a journalist trip to one of the nudist camps and Gino admits that he is not converted but all this information has definitely sparked his interest. We learn about a London Pub that holds nudists sing a longs. Nudist people are very nice and do not judge others. There are naked amusement park rides, naked weddings, naked family swimming sessions, nude cruises, nude hiking and naturally we are starting to wonder if there are nude podcasts. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly Segment: Men want to know how to gain control of their erections. Miss Polly teaches us that the penis is a muscle and then teaches everyone how to work out their penis much like Kegel excercises. She gives detailed instructions.She encourages men to stop masturbating for a while and lift weights with their penis with a wet washcloth. Question of the Day Segment: Does it matter who adds who first on Instagram?Marcella and Gino get into a hilarious siblings squabble about Marcella not listening when Gino talks.

We start the show by introducing Gabrielle’s son and Marcella’s brother Gino Raneri as one of our new co hosts. He is 26 years old, single and a tennis coach at Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas, texas. Then we jump right into our topic about nudism and Marcella informs Gino that his grandmother is a nudist, which prompts Gino’s memory of seeing nude grandma by the pool when he was younger. Gabrielle then shares her nightmare experience when her parents forced her to go to a nudist camp beach vacation in the former Yugoslavia. We cannot believe that there is actually an American Association for Nude Recreation. Somehow the conversation turns to the TV Show Real Sex. We find out that the second Saturday in July has been officially declared as National Skinny Dipping Day. Then we talk about the show Naked and Afraid. We learn all about Nude Festivals with live music, nude games, cruises, 5 K runs, Beer Mile Runs, Beer Pongs, Clubs etc. We talk about Marcella’s experience in a Coop Finnish Sauna in Austria when she was a teenager.We learn that there are no orgies or any sexual activity allowed in nudist environments unless you are in private.We decide to send Bernie on a nudist excursion as part of his journalistic duties. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly:We ask Miss Polly if she is a Nudist or would become one?We also ask her who would need to see a sex therapist. Question of the day: Would you care if your partner never posted you on Instagram?

Bernie starts the show by telling us that he saw his son and stepson affected when his marriage to his ex wife was not going well. He also thinks kids are resilient and can definitely bounce back.Gabrielle thinks that if you are in a miserable marriage do not stay together for the kids until they go to college, because they will feel betrayed and feel like they lived a lie.Marcella says that the kids feel lied to and that you cannot hide anything from them anyways. Lots of her students confide in her about this exact situation. Bernie says that there are more Dads than ever before fighting to be in their kids lives after a divorce. We all agree that divorced parents should never talk bad about each other to their children. Marcella then shares her story about her Dad and Step Dad getting along and how wonderful that was, but how that didn’t happen right away. We read about 10 reasons why you should stay together for the kids and 5 reasons why you shouldn’t. Then we learn that Bernie is very sad that he does not have a relationship with his stepson today, because he loves him very much and wishes things were different. He shows us that he has his name tattooed on his arm and wishes he could take him on a vacation with him and his son. Bernie says that his biggest fear while going through his divorce was who will be in his sons life when his ex wife starts dating. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: If you gained weight would you want your partner to tell you or keep it to himself ?This segment is hilarious – do not miss this Question of the day – What luxury is totally worth the price?

Bernie talks about his fun experience on a Disney Cruise. Marcella says she wanted to be a dancer on a cruise ship and that Gabrielle talked her out of it because of the nightmare of working on a cruise ship. Gabrielle tells about her nightmare cruise experience on a Norwegian Cruise line. She tells about being in Disney World on a Family Trip when her ex husbands Mafia Boss called and ordered them to come on the cruise. Working on a cruise ship seems glamorous but it is such a dark world. Don’t ask – Don’t tellCruise ship workers have sex with everybody. They have a secret slang. They have to keep hands off the guests, but we believe that rule always gets broken. There is a Thrill fest for all The crew members live in very close proximity. All work – little play – no privacy – thin walls Pirates attacked over 200 ships last year. Crew workers get to buy drinks for $ 1,50 for the same drinks that cost guests $ 15. The food is terrible.  The average work week is 80 hours per week. A lot of people cannot handle it and don’t complete their 9 months contract. We talk about the show “Below Deck” and how demanding those guests are. Marcella cannot imagine having to take care of those guests. One of Marcella’s biggest fears of going on a cruise is the neuro virus. Crew is charged for water, toilet paper and Internet services. We learn that the food is recycled during the whole course of the trip because there is no way to get fresh food. We learn that the chef’s add extra fat to all food to work wonders as a laxative, which is intended to assist in the ships plumbing. We are all freaking out over that. Then we learn that there is a morgue on every ship. Management doesn’t trust the crew and has crazy policies. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: How often do men need sex everyone needs to hear that segment Question of the day: What is the weirdest food you have ever tasted.

We start the show with the exciting announcement that we have over 20.000 downloads.

We talk about how coming on the podcast and sharing her story has changed the life of Valerie Wilhelm completely.Then we jump into the topic if you would stay in a sexless marriage or relationship. Bernie cannot even bare the thought and he thinks that if guys go without sex for an extended period of time they are probably cheating. Marcella thinks that some people do not want to have sex because they are insecure about their bodies. Marcella then talks about staying in relationships too long and that she wants to make sure she can trust the people she is dating. She does not want to put a tracker on your phone.Bernie says people are always way more sorry when they get caught cheating. We all agree that women are emotional and men are physical.Guys need to be the ones to be romantic and put extra effort and the girls will enjoy sex more. Everyone wants to feel special and appreciated. Gabrielle reminds everyone that you have to do for each other what you did when you first met. Once a week date night is super important. We all agree that the happiest couples are the ones that have a healthy sex life. Penis and Pussy Talk with Miss Polly: Miss Polly gives us the definition of a sexless marriage and then tells us that she herself was in a sexless marriage for 7 years. We learn that the average couple under 30 has sex 2 times a week and that decreases as you get older. and it is more once a week. Bernie thinks sex once a week is an absolutely horrible idea. You have to try to fix a sexless marriage or relationship with a licensed sex therapist. We discuss ED and ED caused by over masturbation, which can cause huge problems. Communication is the number 1 thing to try to fix these problems. The guy needs to plan date night and wine and dine the women – this will assure the chances of the women wanting to be romantic.Question of the day:Is it normal for friends to get jealous when a serious partner comes into the picture?
