16 JUN 2022 · Please consider watching this episode on YouTube as it is a very visual interview and we even added elements to go along with some of the items we discussed in the episode (just search Sex, Lies and Parenthood in YouTube). This is Part 2 of the "Sex, Lies & Parenthood" special Pride Month edition of the podcast with entertainer and Drag Queen Ginger Ladd. Part 1 began with Ginger simultaneously going live on his social media, as he often does, to get ready in drag while recording the podcast with us. Part 2 was recorded exclusively for our podcast because Ginger was able to get a little more spicy with us than on social. If you missed part 1 please go check it out - it is such an intimate interview where he shared so many emotional moments of his life and even talked about the threats he gets even now because of his job as an entertainer. We recorded both parts before Texas State Rep. Bryan Slaton decided to attack family-friendly drag shows for allowing children to watch the performances. As a fellow Texan and Drag Queen performer, Ginger was nice enough to record a statement regarding the issue and we put it here in Part 2. We want to thank Ginger Ladd for allowing us a sneak peak into his world as an entertainer, and Drag Queen but also as a son, a husband, a father, and, most of all, a HUMAN who has gone through it all and still continues to embrace his audiences whether over social media or in person at live shows.

21 JUL 2021 · In this episode we had so much fun talking to Intimacy Coach Kristie Lynn. From the Yes, No, Maybe list of what we would and would not do in the bedroom (wait until you see Capricorn’s list OMG) to fun toys, some with remote controls. I learned A LOT about my husband, things I feel like we should have discussed when we met 14 years ago. Kristie also taught us ways we can keep that spark going when we feel like our sex life is ebbing more than flowing. I really hope you enjoy and learn from this episode.

20 JUL 2021 · We are working on Season 2 but in the mean time, we have a couple of interviews we are posting that are PHENOMENAL. We had the pleasure to speak to Mal Harrison, a clinical sexologist with the Center for Erotic Intelligence, all about the clitoris and pleasure. So many people don’t know much about what their bodies are made of and how the parts work, even as adults. There is nothing to be ashamed of in not knowing but knowledge is power, especially when you put it to use! This was a fun and informational conversation and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. Go to www.MalHarrison.com to find out more about her If you want more information on the center go to https://centerforeroticintelligence.org Share Tweet Share

3 JUN 2021 · I was late to the school pick-up line aka on time. I had a panic attack, but how did my kids react? Not like I was expecting at all. My husband was doing the dishes this morning despite his PTSD from when he was punished as a child (check out previous episode) and I am so proud of him. Then we discuss are you an opener a closer or both when it comes to the kitchen? We also discuss how neither of us is the boss over the other but has that lead us to being lackadaisical when it comes to chores? We discuss how much we hate adulting – who said being an adult means cleaning all of the time and doing projects? (This is turning into an ongoing theme, maybe one day we’ll do something about it). My husband says we are lazy, I say we are prioritizing down time instead of cleaning aka doing the bare minimum to survive. I discuss why my ADHD is a hindrance when it comes to cleaning the house. Then we get the wheel out and the question causes me to be fully honest about something I have hidden from my husband in the past. We also rehash one of the worst nights of my life – our bachelor/bachelorette parties and the strip club scam. Then my husband tells me how he knows when I am lying but reveals he never lies except when I ask him this over the phone. Plus we discuss how project timelines are meaningless for my husband because he thinks everything will be done “in a day” but it never is. Then of course we get back on the subject of cleaning but my husband says something that made me so happy, then, in the next breath, pissed me off when he tried to joke about my cooking. And we close it out discussing farts and what would cause a divorce if we did THIS to one another. Share Tweet Share

27 MAY 2021 · We begin this episode with the age-old problem, my husband won’t turn on the air conditioning and I am sweating. Why is there always one spouse that holds on to the last second in the summer?! The good news is we both hate cuddling when we are hot and sweaty so there’s that to look forward to later. Then wait until you hear who changed my Apple ID password and what they charged! WTF?! Then my husband explains why he watches porn on “private mode” and I learn for the first time that even exists. Then we discuss what daily activity I do that makes me feel like a failure. Finally we spin the wheel and have a very serious question from a mom whose child has revealed something HUGE and she isn’t sure how to handle it. Share Tweet Share

13 MAY 2021 · TRIGGER WARNING: This episode mentions unwanted advances and sexual harassment. We get a little deep in this episode but, as always, there is still laughter. Oh and if you want to hear my husband’s excuses as to why my Mother’s Day was bleh, that’s in here too! We talk about when we each lost our virginity and how we felt about it. We discuss self pleasure and exploring our bodies. We discuss how to handle your drunk friend and being the responsible person at the party. We discuss catcalling and overstepping bounds and raising a girl in a society where women have to be careful and learn to protect themselves. We talk about setting boundaries as parents with our kids. As always send in more questions and feedback to producerrachel@gmail.com. We are working on getting Mark to talk INTO the microphone so his audio isn’t all over the place. He’s getting better. Share Tweet Share

8 MAY 2021 · I asked our 10-year-old son Nico about his secret girlfriend that everyone knew about except me. I bribed him with Nutella and did it before I had to drop him off at school, I figured some sugar and limited time would get him to tell me quickly. His response was priceless and I hope I am showing him that I want to keep the line of communication open without judgement. I am not great at this parenting thing, I think I thought a magical switch would turn on and I would just be the perfect parent, nope. Just like a marriage takes work every day, so does parenting; some days are better than others and, at this point we are living one day at a time. In this episode we discuss what our son finally admitted to me about the girlfriend AND what he wants to do next, spoiler alert, he wants us to meet her! That is a little too real for us right now and I am not sure where to go with that request; I told him it was something we can discuss further in the future. Yes, supposedly her parents know about him and she is allowed to have a boyfriend which makes me feel a little bit better about the situation. Also in this episode, we discuss what the older boys tried to discuss with Capricorn during puberty that actually made him VERY uncomfortable. Share Tweet Share

6 MAY 2021 · I recently noticed a change in our 10 year old son’s behavior, showering without us making him, cleaning his room without us nagging, doing chores without us asking. I was scared he was either body snatched or I woke up in a different dimension. Did he want money? Yes. Did he eat all of the ice scream and get scared I would be pissed so he was trying to soften the blow? Yes. BUT the worst thing of all…he has a secret girlfriend! I found out when I did a cell phone check and I saw texts to a contact he labelled “my best friend.” They text “luv u” which is insane to me. The only thing is, I am the ONLY one who didn’t know about it. My husband even knew! In this episode I confront my husband to find out why he didn’t tell me AND I decide whether to confront our son about it as well or wait for him to come tell me on his own. Later in the episode we talk about the story I teased in episode 26, a story we never aired. I discuss why it never aired and finally tell the damn story. We also discuss what makes our marriage work for us right now and give advice for those people struggling in their relationship.  Share Tweet Share
