    So, that debate was subpar. Sigh. But we’re reminding ourselves what this election is REALLY about. And why we must vote our principles regardless of who is the candidate.

    An UMcast Movie Review: Inside Out 2
    We reference the podcast “Inside Out of Teen Emotions with Dr. Lisa Damour” by The Holderness Family Podcast

    UMcast Anonymous: What has been Michelle’s process with finding daycare/nanny/childcare for Shay? Advice please!

    Michelle’s FIL is coming to visit and wait, are our parents getting old??

    Also, are we enabling our partners, sons, all the men? Teaching them to not know or notice anything? Where is the balance for all of us?

    A bullying win at summer camp…mostly.

    Do we get embarrassed ever? We’re not sure, honestly.

    FACT CHECK: The NCAA swimmer we’re referring to is Lia Thomas, because yeah, we never mentioned her name somehow. And it wasn’t an Olympic ruling, it was with the Court of Arbitration of Sport in Switzerland.

    The Supreme Court and GOP Senators are on our permanent shit list.

    Did we do our homework and meditate?

    Semi-sober update leads into cannabis use update and now we’re talking PFAs.

    TWL:
    Vicki is loving the new Target 90s ribbed tank tops
    Michelle is loving her….anklet, yeah. Oh! And the idea of a pool float with shade.

    Summer is HERE! Are we excited?

    Is marriage even necessary? Maybe once but to do it again? See: Bennifer.

    Who the guiltiest boy?? The most guilty little poop face boy? It’s Trump!
    How are we feeling about it?

    Anxious children. We were them, we have them, we love them.

    Let’s go back to some hilarious comments on GOMI about Michelle’s old blog. She’s got a rebuttal ready. And it involves food stamps at Whole Foods.

    Remember inappropriate Halloween costumes? Were you ever a hobo, a geisha, Pocahontas??

    Dressing by gender norms and expectations. Where do you fall on the new femininity scale Michelle just invented?

  • Ep 151: Semi Sober Stories
    May 28 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Let’s go back in time to Michelle’s baptism

    Shopping carts - how do you put them away?
    Greeting cards and goodie bags - to do or not to do?

    We went to concerts recently and just really want to talk about them.

    Michelle is on a “semi sober curious journey” - let’s check in on that with a question from a listener.

    Vicki’s kid went to sex ed this week and the collective response surprised her entirely.

    Another bullying conversation.

    When your waxing lady starts talking nonsense but you’re still spread eagle…

    And for the grand finale - there is a BIG CHET DAVE UPDATE!
    (If you don’t know who Chet Dave is, go to episode 101, 102, 103, and then part of 140)

    RIP Mr. Spurlock. We’ll never forget Super Size Me. Listen to the Maintenance Phase episode about it!

    Vicki is loving her Kitsch lay flat claw clip

    Bladder queens, at your service.

    Michelle is sober curious, except when she’s not at all.

    Concerts are cool, you should go to one. Also, boy bands. And hotties of the 2000s. It was a time.

    Regarding the sad case of a dumbass NFL kicker: “A Bear Would Never Say This”

    Vicki got a new/old car and yep, change is still invigorating!

    Fasha wants Michelle to produce a YouTube channel for him. Should she?

    “I was a bit of a Karen” - Michelle summons the HOA rules and regs once again.

    Parent Teacher Orgs and a shit ton of pizza. Is PTA talk boring or like, super relatable? We’re not sure, honestly.

    A sexy scene at the nail salon.

    Some Grateful Dead history - and there are WAY MORE than 150 songs. There are over 450!

    Vicki is loving Hacks on Max and The Veil on Hulu

    Passive aggressive moves are not woke, Scouting America though, is!

    Trump is back in the news more and it’s only just begun - this year is gonna be A LOT - do we share on social media like we did back in the Trump years? Is our opinionated era back or are we still exhausted from how we were? Essentially, the question is: to post or not to post?
