We are talking about the Tinder Swindler!  If you haven´t heard about this con artist, then you MUST watch this Netflix documentary.  Not much makes our jaws drop, but this guy was something else.  Listen in and we´ll give you the CliffsNotes version of the show...but do yourself a favor and watch it for yourself.  You won´t be sorry.  #Thetinderswindler

Hey Listeners! Come and listen to us discuss the latest dirt in Hollywood!  We touch on everything from child stars and their parents (hello Spears Fam!) to new TV shows such as Will Arnett's show, Murderville – and seriously, one of us thinks Robin Thicke is a hottie – guess who it is!   In addition, we cannot dish without bringing up at least one of the Kardashian's! Most importantly, we discuss Whoopi Goldberg's recent suspension from The View – and we have a LOT to say!

In this episode join us as we catch up on current events, pop culture and some really weird stories.  We actually even may teach you a thing or two...such as what a fish monger or a yurt is.  And did you want the basics on NFTs and the metaverse?  Well, we aim to please.  Tune in and join us as we laugh and learn.  You are welcome.

If you've ever listened to us before or followed us on social media, you know that we love the Golden Girls!   Their friendship was the gold standard and not to mention it's just a funny show. So, when we found out we lost the last of our idols, we were completely heart broken and it brought us back from our hiatus.  This episode is an homage of sorts to our Queen.  We love you Ms. Betty White.  You were one of a kind.  Thank you for being our friend.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! After a long break, we are finally back!  In this episode we get right back into sharing what has been going on in our lives over the past year.  There is even a surprise cameo from Trisha's mom and you'll quickly see the apple did not fall far from the tree!  It's hard to believe it's been over a year!!  We definitely missed recording and connecting with all of you! So, our New Year's Resolution is to definitely make this a comeback!   Happy 2022!  Sit back and laugh a little with us!  

The girls are back at it with a Zoom session….and they are talking about recent pop culture events of late.  From Britney to Justin and Jada/Will to Scientology….they talk about it all.  And they are never shy about their thoughts and opinions.  You think these ladies are crazy when they are drankin?  Try when they are sober and tired!  It's a whole other ball game. This was a water kind of day for the ladies.  Sometimes, good ole H2O is what a body needs.

Not even a huge thunderstorm can keep the DD's from getting together to record!   It's been too long away from each other and they need to catch up on what effects the quarantine had on each of them, both physically and mentally.  From weight gain and poor eating habits to reevaluating life goals and friendships, the girls went through it all, just like everyone else.  While the quarantine gave them an excuse for JOMO (Joy of Missing Out), they realized we all need human connections, friends and the motivation to create good change. The girls are drankin' the winner from last week's seltzer challenge – Vizzy Hard Seltzer!  And had a mini taste test between all of the flavors!   Listen in to see which is their fave flavor!   And check out Vizzy at: www.vizzyhardseltzer.com WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!  How have you coped during the pandemic?   Have you had any revelations or learned new skills?  Email us with stories!  Nothing is off limits.  From health and working out to friendships and relationships…we're an open book.   Email us at:  deadliftsanddranks@gmail.com  Come visit us at: www.deadliftsanddranks.com   Follow us at: Facebook: Deadlifts & Dranks Instagram: Deadliftsanddranks

Part 2 of the girls' last Zoom conversation takes a turn to a deeper discussion about race and fighting the injustices that plague our country every day.  This conversation took place before the tragic death of George Floyd and focuses on the haunting, vigilante killing of Ahmaud Arbery.  Listen as the girls try to make sense of it all and hear the raw emotion in TT's voice as she describes the pain and fear that has plagued the black community for so many years.  We aren't doing enough.  We aren't standing up enough.  While violence is never the answer, we need to stand up.  We need to have that conversation and we need to keep it going.  Deadlifts & Dranks support our brothers and sisters and want to help foster change.  “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. ~Mahatma Ghandi   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!  Email us with stories, or topics for Season 3!  Nothing is off limits.  From health and working out to friendships and relationships…we're an open book.   Email us at:  deadliftsanddranks@gmail.com Come visit us at: www.deadliftsanddranks.com   Follow us at: Facebook: Deadlifts & Dranks Instagram: Deadliftsanddranks

Life is still crazy around the world due to this pandemic.  The DD's got together a few weeks ago to record some episodes and are now self-isolating, as recommended by our nation's top medical doctors.  In this episode, the girls are talking about shows to re-watch and things you can do to reduce your stress over the current situation.

In honor of Thanksgiving, Lisa is encouraging the girls to talk about the things they are grateful for this year.

There are so many dieting fads and philosophies out there and it can all get confusing.  The DD's explore a few of the more popular ones and what they mean.  We are all ready for a reboot and we all have our moments of weakness as you will see when TT discovers the Halloween candy stash at Studio C. You know the girls always like to support local businesses, so this week they try a wine from a small local winery in Maryland, called Loew Vineyard.  KK met the granddaughter of the founders of the vineyard and was quickly taken with their story and the wines.  The wine the girls tried was a white called “Two Consenting Grapes”.  Check it out here: https://www.loewvineyards.net/taste-2 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!  Email us with stories, or topics for Season 3!  Nothing is off limits.  From health and working out to friendships and relationships…we're an open book.   Email us at:  deadliftsanddranks@gmail.com   Come visit us at: www.deadliftsanddranks.com   Follow us at: Facebook: Deadlifts & Dranks Instagram: Deadliftsanddranks

As you've gotten older, have you ever realized that there are so many things in life that you just didn't know and maybe should have?  Why didn't our mamas ever tell us about these things?  From shaving “down there” to earning credit, the girls talk about it all and whether their mamas ever talked to them about these things.  Granted, times are different now, but there are definitely some lessons learned in how the girls will communicate with their daughters/nieces.   Also enjoy some cameos by some of the DD munchkins. On a cold, blustery Sunday evening, red wine was the drank of choice for this episode.  Any red wine will work, but the girls choice the 815 Cabernet Sauvignon by Joel Gott.  Check it out here: http://gottwines.com/2017-815-ca-cabernet-sauvignon/   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!  Email us with stories, or topics for Season 3!  Nothing is off limits.  From health and working out to friendships and relationships…we're an open book.   Email us at:  deadliftsanddranks@gmail.com   Come visit us at: www.deadliftsanddranks.com   Follow us at: Facebook: Deadlifts & Dranks Instagram: Deadliftsanddranks

While some days are frivolous and fun for the girls, other days they delve into tough topics that have touched them.  In this episode, Lisa brings up a recent incident that occurred on the Montgomery Police Force in Maryland and then conversations led them on a totally different topic than what was planned.   When a police officer takes his own life while on duty, it brings about the question of men's mental health and how it may be perceived.   This topic led the girls into bullying and the horrible effects it can have on our youth today and the amazing anti-bulling advocate, Monica Lewinsky.  Please, put your judgments aside and listen to what she has to say.  Watch her new PSA for National Bullying Prevention Month, it's heart wrenching. See it here: https://the-epidemic.com/ The drank for this episode was Malibu's Fizzy Pink Lemonade, not a “fuzzy” lemonade like Lisa likes to call it!

Some days, all the girls want to do is chat and catch up on each other and topics that are important to each other….and you never know where the conversation will go.  This episode catches them up on Trisha's love life, the issues plaguing some TX police departments, trick or treating for older kids and of course the impeachment.  But, as serious as they get about things, somehow they manage to infuse humor in every situation.

“When she looks in the mirror, we want our daughter to know herself. It's hard to face the world when you don't know where your face came from.”~ Adoptive parents Episode 6 deals with the debated topic of interracial adoption.  After listening to an episode of Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, the girls launch into their own discussion about this topic.  Given that they are all of different backgrounds, races and religions, it was interesting to see where the discussion went and how their thoughts related to each other.  In the end, they all agree that Love is Love is Love.    Given that during the recording of this episode the weather was in the 90's in October, the girls needed something cool and refreshing to sip on during this episode.  Cue in an Arnold Palmer….but SPIKED.  Yes, Spiked.  Mixed reviews on this one, but it was definitely enjoyed on the hot day!  Check it out here: https://www.arnoldpalmerspiked.com/ Check out Red Table Talk here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1430912810380278   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!  Email us with stories, or topics for Season 3!  Nothing is off limits.  From health and working out to friendships and relationships…we're an open book.   Email us at:  deadliftsanddranks@gmail.com   Come visit us at: www.deadliftsanddranks.com   Follow us at: Facebook: Deadlifts & Dranks

Life. Is. Crazy.  We are all running around trying to fit everything into a 24 hour day; 7 day week and most often it feels nearly impossible.  With so many responsibilities, work, kids, school and everything we have committed ourselves to, it can be very difficult to make time to spend and catch up with friends and to keep up with personal relationships.  The girls delve into this topic and discuss what works for them and what they find are their hardest challenges.  Even for this episode, the girls had to get creative in order to schedule some recording time.   But, they all agree that making time for our friends is very important for our overall health and sanity and the question that usually comes up after a girls' night is: “Why don't we do this more?”. The drank of choice for recording late on a Monday night is far different than for a normal recording session… Lisa poured herself a nice cup of Sleepy Time tea to help her relax from a rough day at work!   Whether you need to relax or you're feeling a little under the weather, the blend of mint, chamomile and lemongrass will certainly do the trick.  Check it out here: http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/herbal/sleepytime-classic Thank you to everyone who voted on the new song!!!   The people have chosen!  Tune in to see what won!   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!  Email us with stories, or topics for Season 3!  Nothing is off limits.  From health and working out to friendships and relationships…we're an open book.   Email us at:  deadliftsanddranks@gmail.com   Come visit us at: www.deadliftsanddranks.com   Follow us at: Facebook: Deadlifts & Dranks Instagram: Deadliftsanddranks

The girls found a fantastic article from Oprah.com called The New Midlife Crisis – Why (and How) It's Hitting Gen X Women by Ada Calhoun and it sparked great conversation that they wanted to bring to their listeners.  The author does a great job of not only describing HOW women are affected by this “crisis', but she also pulls in medical, social and financial data that supports and explains the WHY.  Listen in as the girls discuss.  As usual, the beginning of the episode is full of banter and laughs as they discuss things like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and Drunk History.
