Michelle had a birthday and immediately embraced an old lady skin care regime. First up! It was Michelle, with the skateboarder, at the Cheesecake Factory - let's get into it. Are you intervening in bothersome situations? Or is Michelle the only one ready to save us all? Like in this story where a lifeguard asks a mom to “cover up” her toddler's “nudity”!!!??? wtf. Then there was the breastfeeding mom in the lazy river… AND there was a teen in Nebraska who is in jail for…using abortion pills OR for trying to dispose of the remains on her own? This is a bit of a Mystery of the World. (Note: after recording, we actually googled this and mifepristone is restricted in Nebraska, ugh!!) Barbies - Michelle NEVER had any!! What?! Why?? Should we talk about Miranda Lambert? Ok, fine. You can probably guess where we fall on this whole selfie situation. And we end with BE KIND TO OTHERS, goddamnit.

We have an amazing guest this week: It's Michelle's husband and award winning realtor, Verner Dixon! We invited him on the pod to tell the tale of the time he heard a groan in the men's locker room. It sounds innocuous but it was actually an emergency situation that put his reaction to the test. And all this to say, when any of us are confronted with a split second decision to make, do we fight or do we flight. Mixed results here on the pod today. Let's dive in. Michelle and Vicki share their own stories on the topic and we all come away with a consensus on what our actions really say about us.

This is a family friendly episode! Play it in the car on the way to school, on the way home from school, during dinner time. It's rated E for Everyone. We sat down to chat with two amazing 10 year olds, River and Melody. We asked them your questions and they answered as only kids could: entirely off the cuff.

A bit of parenting chat this week! Our kids are always moving into new stages of life and here we are, just trying to keep up! A boob update from Michelle - it's not allll smooth sailing. Another life lesson. To use a filter or not to use a filter? This topic feels neglected, honestly. Are filters just the temporary/cost effective plastic surgery? Vicki went to Mexico to see Dead and Company last week! Story time! Boundaries with family - is it yet another lesson in learning to mind our own business?

We are joined by our friends, Ali and Amber, to discuss their boob job stories, in all their glory. Praise be unto thy plastic surgeon. Apologies for the first 13ish minutes - we had the wrong mic set up. Tech issues…weird, odd, first time ever. But power through, it's worth it.

Trigger warnings are hard for us but we are trying. We got some feedback last week about one of the topics we discussed and how a TW would have been nice. So, we thought it best to discuss here. We talk A LOT about weight and body image - it happens later in the episode but I am putting it up top for all ye listeners. We love you. An unboxing to reveal our very first merch! (this part looks better on YouTube) Let's talk about boobs, Michelle's boobs. Because they are on their way out, to be replaced by brand spankin' new, perkier ones. Commotion in the neighborhood - do we pull over and find out why there are 100 police cars? Yep, we do. Politics corner: Should we nominate ourselves for House Speaker? Might as well, at this point. New Year Intentions! Let's keep it simple and clean, alright 2023? Be kind to us. Why is skinny the goal? Or is it anymore? Can we have our cake and eat it too? Meaning, can we want to look a certain way but also love ourselves when we don't? This is the everlasting conundrum.

Kids are home from school, husbands are in the hospital, our cars are in the shop, luggage has been lost - it's all happening! At least Michelle has finished her Christmas wrapping! Three cheers for the holidays. We keep the joy going and talk holiday traditions, gifting, plans, etc. Vicki is interviewing people at random now. She posts them on her new local blog called peopleofvista.com - this episode's sponsor! Cheating dreams: the gift that keeps on giving, all year long if you're Michelle - don't worry, Verner apologized the next morning. But let's analyze this dream, shall we?

We have felt so much love and admiration for tWitch for years and all we can say is that we are heartbroken to hear of his passing. We're sending love to every one of you out there. Please stick around. Let's talk White Lotus Finale. Holy Schnitzel! SPOILERS AHEAD - plug your ears, slow motion kids. This goes on for at least 14 minutes but it's a good time. There's also an interlude about cheating and one about how we should approach new relationships mixed in there so probably totally worth the spoilers.

It's a travel episode! Could you, would you sell all your belongings to travel the world? To travel the country? To go on a grand adventure of any kind? We have both done exactly that at different times in our lives. Michelle traveled internationally for 6 months with her boyfriend. Vicki traveled domestically in an RV for 1 year with her husband and 2 kids. And we're here to say that if you want to do something similar, you absolutely can! In this episode, we address the why and how of our experiences. How much money we had to spend, how much we came back with. What we did about jobs before and after returning. How did we make the jump? What was the inciting moment that made us commit to doing it? How we saved money as we went. What kind of people we met along the way? Are people scary? What are the biggest lessons we learned? Michelle shares 2 of the worst moments from her trip. And that takes us right into when Verner and Hank tried to break up with us. This is PART 1 - an intro of sorts. PART 2 is where you come in. What other questions do you have about doing something like this? Or about how it worked? Let us know so that we can address them in the next travel episode.

We're back! Thanksgiving is a thing of the past and now it's officially the holidays! Did someone say Christmas carols?! Michelle was sick all last week and surprise, the cough lingers. Since everyone else is sick too, she's here to make you feel seen. Grab a cough drop and settle in. Vicki's Top 3 FAVORITE things about Montana in the winter. Ooh, it's chilly. Giant flag poles in front yards? These are overkill, yes? Paging Michelle's HOA…Karen aka Connie has some concerns. Flags and aggressive bumper stickers are to neighborhoods as the pledge of allegiance is to schools…is that right? Did we get that right?

Coming at you from our new HQ - Michelle's new house! Will there be some construction noises? Survey says, most likely. Code Switching - we all do it. In real estate, with gender identity, in casual conversations, etc. Accommodating vs. Always making the point - it isn't black and white and maybe that's ok. Change is hard and making mistakes is a-ok and not a scary thing if we can just admit it, own it, apologize for it and commit to trying harder next time. We're all human and we can't get it right all the time. Admitting fault is an act of love. Avoiding conflict by silencing our voice is not the best look - we can do better and get creative with our approach. Blackout vs Blockout? Socializing after Covid times - it was hard for Vicki. Remember those first few times we got all started to get back together? Ugh, so confusing. How many cats is too many cats? Kids and germs and how we're all adjusting back into a world where Covid rules are a fast fading memory. Vaginas! You thought we'd get through an episode without talking about them? UTIs and vibrating sensations. Moving - do we love it? Why do we do it? Michelle has a story for us.

Anxiety is the new black. And we're basically in mourning. Are we all feeling more anxious lately? Is it from some pandemic letdown? Are we just more aware of it in the culture and so we notice it more than before? No clue. We have no answers, but let's talk about it! We mention EMDR and now we know what it stands for: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - yeah, we would never have guessed that. Divorce - let us celebrate this brave decision! We're not saying it's easy but maybe it can be something we respect as a hopeful, sound choice. And when you think about it, aren't lifetime partners kinda the weirder option here? The rarer possibility? The unicorn? Are we all watching Black Bird? Yes. Body Image Issues for us Gen X / Millennial kids constantly consuming our minds with size, weight, calories, comparison, the forever quest for a “good body” - how did we get like this and can we evolve past these dumb, limiting ideas? Can we truly see past our looks and find self satisfaction? And what do we say to our kids when these things come up?

Kicking the podcast back into gear with a discussion about SCOTUS and Roe. We dissent! But how did we get here and how have social media and Covid…and ugh, that dude previously in the White House, all contributed to our overwhelming sense of dread. Fun, right!? But also, why does Instagram think she's TikTok? And you officially have our permission to unfollow people with abandon. It feels good, try it and maybe report back. Moving right along, let's talk about Boobs. Boob jobs, boob lifts, nipple reconstruction, ultrasounds and mammograms, all of it. We take a few unexpected phone calls because why not? And to cap it, a few easy and effortless things you can do right now to help keep abortion safe.

We took an 8 month break (and that's okay in our books!) but now we're back together.... IN PERSON. Vicki has completed her 10+ month U.S.A. RV Adventure and is finally back HOME. About 10 minutes into this episode, Michelle makes Vicki cry by forcing her to listen to an excerpt about having sons and how that's like a slow break-up. So, you know, something every mother wants to hear. We then speak about the Coronavirus (because who isn't?). Michelle spouts a lot of "facts" from CNN (who is she?). Bottom Line: We can't live in fear! But also... wash your hands. Note to Men: When your woman asks if her boobs feel bigger, don't say they feel "wider." Cheating in a loving marriage. Words from Kristen Bell and how we're all really like monkeys. Things We're Loving Is Back: Vicki has been all about Outlander and Fleabag (but really anything that involves Phoebe Waller-Bridge). Michelle's friend (Tiffany Reese) created the Something Was Wrong Podcast and for all of you True Crime Fans, this will be right up your alley. **** Connect with us on Instagram & Twitter: @theumcast Via the web: www.theumcast.com Via email: theumcast@gmail.com Don't forget to subscribe to us on iTunes, rate and review.
