Two Haute Mamas

Sheletta got close, but she won't be buying that Class A RV any time soon for her children because she didn't win that $100,000 grand prize as a contestant on Ellen's Game of Games. But she and her BFF Kevyn Burger have some behind the scenes scoop on today's show...

Sheletta gets the call from Ellen Degeneres to be on her game show for a chance to compete for $100,000. She and her friend Kevyn Burger head to Hollywood and give you a behind the scenes look at all the fun. If she wins, and she won't tell, Sheletta plans to use the money to buy an RV so she can travel cross country with her three special needs children.

Sheletta & Lindy are amazed at the number of celebs who are cashing in on the coronavirus crisis. Cardi B has a new hit song about the pandemic and advertisers are sponsoring concerts online. Plus, Lindy offers tips for people to stay healthy and not overeat after Sheletta admits to keeping Girl Scout cookies in her nightstand. 

Sheletta is an extreme extrovert and her four kids follow in her "larger than life" footsteps. This whole "social distancing" lifestyle is wreaking havoc on The Brundidge Bunch. With a family filled talkers and no listeners around, it's turned into an episode of survivor.

While Lindy recovers from laryngitis, beloved Twin Cities media personality Roxane Battle fills in. Check out the hilariously funny chat she and Sheletta have with Lily Coyle of Beaver's Pond Press. The jokes quickly turned to jesting when Sheletta discovers the publisher gave Roxanne the red carpet treatment while she got the Heisman. 

Lindy's son and several other young men are set to graduate from the Boy's Rites of Passage program where her husband Anton is a mentor. Sheletta wants to know if they have a program for grown men who never quite grew up and are still behaving like boys.

She just has the best husband in the world who surprised her with a fabulous time. Sheletta enjoyed being a fly on the wall listening to all the fun her friend had.

Did you know heart disease was the #1 killer of women? Neither did Sheletta and Lindy, but once they found out about it, they were determined to raise awareness to help women in the Twin Cities live healthier lives. That's why they've partnered with the American Heart Association for a big event at Mall of America this weekend.

With Martin Lawrence being featured in the new blockbuster Bad Boys sequel, the ladies realize how much they miss seeing Martin Lawrence on TV every day. Sheletta says her favorite character from the hit show Martin was Dragon Fly Jones while Lindy took a liking to Shanaynay, which explains how she ended up with her co-host.

After the ladies spent 8 hours with Oprah at her 2020 Vision Tour in St. Paul, Lindy wanted to know what kind of positive changes Sheletta planned to make in her life. Sheletta couldn't figure out what  she would do but was very clear on what she wouldn't give up, the two Ts "Tito's Vodka and Twitter..."

Sheletta and Lindy have differing views when it comes to what to put on social media. Sheletta posts any and all things about her life. Lindy is more reserved and took offense that Sheletta put a picture of the Vincent Family Christmas card on Facebook.

While Lindy is busy praising her son Dylan for all his years of hard work that led to an acceptance into Stanford University, Sheletta reminds her that she's really the hero who made it happen because she's a "super mom".

Lindy is making a difference in Sheletta's life. Sheletta reveals that after years of spanking her children, she's finally stopped the practice. Lindy is overjoyed and is now trying to get her BFF to stop eating pork and start working out. Not sure how that part is going to work out, but it's fun to listen to...

Could it happen? Would Joel Osteen really pick Kanye West to be his assistant pastor at Lakewood Church? The two are going across the country preaching and are rumored to have church services soon at New York's Yankee Stadium. Lindy has officially deleted the Houston pastor's Sirius Channel from her preset selection.

The Two Haute Mamas plan their first ever road trip to the lovely city of Duluth next month (if they don't kill each other on the way there) for the inauguration of the town's first black city councilwoman Janet Kennedy. Not sure which one will have more explosions: the swearing in fireworks or the front seat of Sheletta's mom-mobile when she and Lindy make their way to the event.

Lindy agrees to go on a fast with Sheletta and her family while they pray for a special blessing for her daughter Cameron to come through UNTIL that is, Sheletta reveals to her co-host that she blew her offering money on Jill Scott concert tickets and won't be going to church Sunday because she feels too guilty. 

Y'all remember that old Wendy's commercial "Where's the beef?" Well, Lindy's family woke up the day after Thanksgiving wondering "Where's the cake?". The fitness maven threw out all the sweet treats after the holidays to keep everyone in her house healthy and sugar free. Sheletta and Lindy's mom Gigi were none too happy about it...

Lindy's mom Gigi joins the show as the ladies all say what they are most grateful for this Thanksgiving season. Sheletta recalls the heart wrenching story of how she found her nephew after he'd gone missing for nearly three years. It'll be a happy holiday season at the Brundidge house for sure.

How did Lindy and her husband "Big Dawg" wind up in the winner's circle at the NASCAR Cup Series Championship? The globe trotting haute mama explains that amazing story to Sheletta on the latest episode of the podcast...

Hollywood has been trying to erase the images and contributions of women of color, so it came as no surprise to the Two Haute Mamas that a studio executive wanted Julia Roberts to portray Harriet Tubman in a movie. 

After reading Tony Dungy's new book The Soul of a Team, Sheletta & Lindy get their favorite NFL coach on the line to talk about football, the big Minnesota Gophers win, what he thinks it'll take to get the Vikings to a Super Bowl and if any teams will show up for Colin Kaepernick's workout.

Sheletta is feeling a little feisty at work and decides to wear her "Degreed up but Nuck if you Buck" t-shirt. Lindy is a little worried that it might get her in trouble on her job, but Sheletta assures her that everything will be fine because none of her co-workers can "use her comb". Later in the show, the ladies help promote a fundraiser for a local recovery center that helps battered women.

Sheletta knew Lindy was going to take her to task for going crazy over the new Popeye's chicken sandwich, but she didn't think it would tear the two ladies apart.  Lindy is disappointed that Sheletta would not only miss church to get a taste of the new menu item, but threatens to call a social worker because she fed it to her kids.

Lindy's girlfriend Kate Berman with the Think to Perform Research Institute talks about how we can renew, reclaim and revitalize our lives to find our purpose. She's helping everyone find the path to their destiny at an upcoming workshop next month and there is still time to sign up for the Living & Leading with Purpose Conference.

Despite Sheletta's objections, Lindy tells the hilarious story of how Andrew raised his hand during church service last Sunday when the pastor ask if there were kids who had been threatened by their parents that they wouldn't get a gift from Santa if they didn't behave properly.

First it was "Playground Patti" then it was "Bar-B-Que Becky" now it's "Swing Set Susan". Another white woman is threatening People of Color for being in a public space. When will the madness end? It's driving Lindy crazy...

A new behind the scene interview with Meghan Markle has the Dutchess of Sussex fighting back tears while talking about the pressure of being in the media spotlight.

First Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was talking trash on Twitter to the president, now Tim Walz is fighting on social media too. The Governor is calling out lawmakers who want to "tweet rather than meet" when it comes to making healthcare legislation to help Minnesotans. Sheletta and Lindy are enjoying all the action!

Day spa treatments, gourmet meals and designer clothes are par for the course when it comes to Lindy's pooch Maui. The pampered pet's lifestyle is a bit too much for Sheletta to handle. She offers to dog-sit so Lindy's pup can learn how the "other half lives" which includes table scraps and living out in the back yard.

Sheletta and Lindy are shocked at a recent report that says 95-percent of baby foods have harmful products in them. And they are really pissed that Johnson & Johnson baby powder contains asbestos. The ladies demand to know why these companies are poisoning our children!

The biggest story during the president's Twin Cities visit, amazingly, was how handsome Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is. Women across the country saw him beefing with the president on social media and fell in love with the city leader. But Sheletta tells Lindy: "There is no more room on the Jacob Frey bandwagon. If anyone tries to get on, they will be forcibly removed..."

When Sheletta got off the train in Atlanta for the She Podcasts Live conference, it was after midnight and she was a little lost. A kind man swooped in to help her navigate the way.

Be sure you're sitting down when you listen to this one, it's a doozy! 

Women podcasters from around the world are in Atlanta for the She Podcasts Live Conference. Sheletta made the trek to the Peach State to learn, love and laugh along with thousands of amazing ladies.

After a 17 year old Georgia Tech football recruit committed suicide, Sheletta and Lindy turned to Jason Clopton "The Teen Whisperer" from Levan Counseling for answers. Clopton says a lot of our children, especially black teens, are in pain and parents often don't see the signs until it's too late.

Sheletta and Lindy are livid at the sympathy that Botham Jean's killer received from the judge and court officials during the sentencing phase for her trial. The ladies demand to know where that compassion was for the real victim in all of this: Botham Jean's mother!

When country rap star Lil Nas X announced he was gay, most people, including Sheletta and her kids, supported his right to live freely and love truthfully.

Sheletta and Lindy were shocked to learn that former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was found guilty of murdering 26 year old Botham Jean.

Sheletta and Lindy are livid about the little girl who was held down on a playground and assaulted by three boys who cut her dreadlocks. This is terrorism at 12 years old.

The ladies have an honest and candid discussion about it...
