Awkward Moments

More than four months after recording this episode, you can now hear our life updates plus answers to questions you submitted. Bonus? We're finally announcing a new theme for the next episode, too!

Expecting a baby, the actual arrival, and getting to show off your little one are all exciting events with plenty of opportunities for uncomfortable conversations.

Travel can be a wonderful escape! Waking up in a new setting is exciting. Maybe less so when you don't get to pick your roommates (looking at you, sleeper trains). Hope this episode inspires you to hit the road!

It's another edition of Grab Bag! We recommend emptying your bladder before listening but if not, we won't judge you if you pop a squat right where you are. Or if it just LOOKS like you peed yourself...been there, done that!

You're there to get stronger and healthier. If uncomfortable moments happen, that's just a bonus.

Missed translations can range from frustrating for all parties to comically confusing. But sometimes they are perfect in their awkwardness.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone lived next door to Mr. Rogers? Alas, we can't all be that fortunate. Luckily one woman's uncomfortable encounter with the people on her street is our delightful entertainment.

Oh, the holidays—the food, the anticipation, the family in from out of town. Cue the awkward interactions. Thanks for your sharing your (least) favorite holiday gathering stories with us!

HR exists for a reason. If your interaction with a coworker doesn't cross the line but is still incredibly uncomfortable...maybe your employer needs an AMR department...Awkward Moments Resources, just for situations like that. Thanks for being vulnerable with us so we can share your stories with the world. 

We had a few stories submitted that deserve the airwaves, all of them related to our previous five topics. Although we can't guarantee the same results, at least one of us laughed until we cried while recording.  

Let's stop pretending: first, the nurse tells you she's giving you privacy to change and get comfortable. Then the doctor comes in and you're naked. 

Let's face it: awkward dates are possible no matter how you meet. Whether you're fascinated by uncomfortable scenarios or you're hoping for some tips to have less awkward dates in the future, we've got it all on this episode. 

Public bathrooms should still offer some sense of ... privacy, right? Sometimes the word "public" is taken a little too literarlly with uncomfortable results for all involved. 

Sometimes a relaxing activity is actually quite stressful.

Sometimes you really don't want that first impression to count, amiright?

Welcome to Awkward Moments - where you can share your most embarrassing stories with the world. Our first episode's topic will be First Encounters of the Awkward Kind.
