Wine...Interrupted!

It's the Cult Episode!  

Forgot about "Wild, Wild Country."  It's our little cult that could, brain-washing (wine-washing?) you at 11am during our first late morning record. (Cue Tammy swirling her "breakfast wine.") 

Are you curious about what kind of people get suckered into cults?  

Want to know more about the specific kinds of mind-control that happens in these secretive clubs? 

Think you are the type who would NEVER fall for Scientology? 

Well, stop for a second and think about how you feel about Trader Joes. You'll find out there is an interesting correlation.  

(You always knew those damn chocolate pretzels were laced with something...)

Join Tammy and Heather as we explore the wild world of CULTS, and find out that we both have YET ANOTHER thing in common. 

(Beware of any friendly gatherings in which people voluntarily wear CAPES)

In our most controversial podcast yet, Tammy and I interview our beloved, local to the Tri-State Area, cuddly Relationship Anarchist himself, Ivan DelSol!

We explore all about the concept of Relationship Anarchy, how it is different from polyamory, open relationships, and swinging, as it is defined as: 

RADICAL SEXUAL HONESTY (gasp!). 

What if we told the truth, in all its ugly/euphoric glory to our partners?  Would we implode? Or would it actually create a more dynamic intimate connection? Can Sexual Utopia really exist? Can there be such thing as too much communication?  How does jealously fit in this unique relationship model? And most importantly, how do you choose whose family in which to spend the Holidays?????

We seriously could talk about this intriguing concept for days, but here it is, encapsulated within a one hour podcast! 

DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE.  Also, it's perfect for "hate-listening," too if you come from a place of moral monogamous superiority.

As Tammy always says, "YOU DO YOU, BOO BOO."

Have you been scammed?  You're probably being scammed right now. 

Too good to be true business ventures? All too generous offers to make your career more successful and your life easier? 

Tammy and Heather reveal personal not-so-cute stories about being taken for a car-less ride.

Anyone else have a couple of straight up, shitty years?  Hello 2020-2021.  

Losing loved ones is never easy.  Are you prepared?  

How to deal with all the regret, unfinished business, and endure the 5 stages of grief with the grace and aplomb of a war-torn pandemic survivor.

We get into all of this and so much more. 

Tammy debuts her DOUBLE ZERO Football Jersey (. ) (. )

Astute observations like "I just drink, and know things."

Did you know the three of us went to the very same school as a "Runaway?"

Apparently, there's a lot of teenage ANGST when you grow up near a beach. 

Pardon my Throaty, Hoarse voice. Trust me, I've earned it. 

We'll pour one out for all your homies!

When life slowed down to a mundane crawl (yet riddled with extraneous anxiety...) we all changed our lives to... well, survive.  

Which of these new habits/survival tactics will you keep, and which will you eagerly light on fire, and chuck into the rubbish? (MASKNE, SMISING)

We will get into all the lessons we learned, the habits we now embraced, and the pairing down of the immense Bullshit, that we all like to call "Pre-Pandemic existance."

I'd like to thank God, the Academy, and then YOU!

This episode is all about the most influential people in your life, who inspired you, got under your skin, and changed the trajectory of your life.

Maybe they showed up at a time on your life that was completely devoid of meaning, challenged yourself to become something better, saw something in you that you didn't, or held your hand during a precarious rite-of-passage? 

Either way, they come to mind when you consider the reach of influence felt within the stages of your life. 

I hope they at least made it to your Christmas card list!

Cheers to all those invisible, unknown saviors!

Dreams can take on a barrage of meanings and insights.  Do you really have a raging crush on your _____, or is a spade always just a spade? 

Is every figure that appears in our dreams really just a manifestation of a side of ourselves, as per Gestalt?

Or, as Tammy asks rather bluntly, "Are we all just a bunch of perverts?" 

(Spoiler alert: I'm with Tammy on this one) 

BONUS ANTI-AGING TIP: Get braces now, and confuse everyone. Cheers to Tammy's new look!

Also featured: Lavender Wine- is it really just NyQuil in a glass bottle? 

It's harder than you think. Making friends as a grownup is full of an array of awkward faux pas and exhilarations. 

Are you set in your ways, have too many friends you are already neglecting?  Or are you happier alone, as your own BFF?

Is more pals really the merrier? Why is it kind of a pain (let's be real) to attempt to make platonic friends past your 20's? 

We get into the challenges and victories found in trying to make real connections in the sometimes arctic world of adulting. 

Hot Tip: Don't be a flake and set your expectations low. (And bring snacks to share)

Somehow the Monarchy, the "King Of Thrones," and "Pink Parts," gets mixed in here too.  

Tammy quote of the Pod, "We're all doing US"

You can't avoid it.  The never-ending pervasive diet culture, the skewed, photoshop INSTA filters, and the litany of endless SPANX, and Diet Teas, all trying to whittle you down and shape you into a tinier, version of you.  Is it all in the name of "Good Health?" And For whom? Good question. 

In this Episode, Tammy and Heather get real about their own struggles and victories with the timeless subject of Body Image, as promoted through the media, pop culture, and the world of consumerism. 

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in September of 2020, so excuse the dated chitchat. What is time, anyway? 

This Episode's topic was suggested by a listener who wrote to us at [email protected]. 

Please feel free to do the same! Chime in, and be heard, and therefore discussed. (Over plentiful vino)

The alternate title for this episode: "The Apathetic Crush." Vintage: AGELESS. 

You know the type.  The mysterious, aloof, stoic ones who withhold affection/or emotional intimacy, which drives us wild trying to crack the case. You've been there, perhaps thinking that you can "save them," or earn their vague love. 

Hopefully with enough maturity, experience, (and dare we say therapy,) we can choose healthy, emotionally available folks who can show up and be present and return the love that they are given.
