Josh and Jo Podcast

Have you ever been unfriended or unfollowed on social media? Does it bother you? "WHY," Josh asks, should it matter? Has Jo become a social meDIOT? Perhaps for a moment, she admits. In this episodes, Josh and Jo discuss how social media has or should not ever have entered our psyches and the good, the bad and the ugly of it all. (P.S., did we just make up a new term?!)

We tried. We really tried to create a more academic pod, but I think we have way too much fun digressing. In all seriousness, the question we ask once in a while is, are we doing the right thing when we spend more than 10... 25... or more percent of our time trying to get laid? Could we use that time more productively? Admittedly, this pod is all over the place but if you look real hard, all the m...

While in hiatus, Josh and Jo pursued their choice of leisure experiences. Josh adventured into Big Sur, hiked mountains, and soaked in the view of turquoise waters and endless coves. Jo went to Montreal and explored a different kind of peaks and valleys. [Insert "hmmm" emoji here.] We hope you enjoy this hilarious podcast because we had a great time making it all the way to the very end...

Heavy on Jo's mind is the reality that many of us allow friends, partners, even family take our shine away. If you're happy and fun (and you know it clap you hands - haha) but for whatever reason, you're spending time with someone that drains your battery. Josh's take: look in the mirror and tell yourself, "Run!" We know, we know, it's especially difficult to leave an...

Josh and Jo ponder if there is a difference. We think sex workers get a bad rap when athletes also use their bodies to earn money. We don't have the answers but we promote the idea that if someone chooses a vocation such as featuring themselves on MyOnlyFans, there ought not to be judgment or stigma. Thoughts?

We've all been there before, the dreaded Sex Slump. Long term, short term, friends with bennies... it doesn't matter, monotonous and infrequent sex happens. While we're not sex therapists, here is an action-provoking pod of suggested ways to spice it back up in the bedroom! And if you have any suggestions, send them on over!

Brain studies show that when you run into an ex, it actually registers as physical pain and deep feelings of vulnerability. We've all been there: One second you're having a good time and next, you spot your ex in the crowd. You have a split second to think and react. If you're able, you compose yourself and hopefully handle the situation with dignity. But, some of us panic and run! Wha...

After all these episodes, it's amazing that Josh and Jo have never delved into EROTICA. Yes, we dabbled in it, but even when tried this time, we can only give ourselves a C+ because we JUST COULDN'T stay on topic! However, it's a fun pod and we hope you enjoy it. The erotica piece we referenced can be found on: Literotica.com and the title is, "Good Girls Get a Reward - Erotic Cou...

Do roller skates make a good half time show? It was a commendable production but let's move on to another topic that is mildly, but shouldn't be taboo (Jo's words) -- Fake vaginas as sex toys. Did you know you can order custom made silicone vaginas in the likeness of adult entertainers past and present? Jo did her research and Josh is big in promoting being sex positive so we're no...

Hot topics alert! Once in a while, Josh and Jo tackle the hot topics of the week and, boy, there are many in this episode! Try to follow (because we barely did ourselves), as we discuss Chowder- and Super Bowls aftermath, a nibble of politics and much more! For the long commuter listeners, this one's for you!

Just a few more comments on the "Tayvis" phenomenon that compelled even the Gov't of Japan to assure Taylor Swift can attend the Super Bowl after her performance in Tokyo (sigh of relief heard around the world!). Josh and Jo check on the latest divorce stats, top reasons people leave relationships and... drum roll, please... the listenership feedback on the HOTTEST NFL players!

Chowderfest is upon us so don’t miss out and come see us (perched high above) the Thirsty Owl on Saturday! And, how can we not talk about the Super Bowl and this year’s featured couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Josh and Jo choose to root for L-O-V-E. But wait, why is Josh walking around town slumped over completely depressed? Is he breaking up with Jazzie? Wasn’t she his dream girl? Take a l...

Josh and Jo finally lock in a guest Jo has been chasing down for months! We hope you enjoy this epically fun three-way conversation with Lyndsy, a gorgeous blonde woman who prefers other women. Definitely full of surprises and confounding statements, she left us so grateful for being open and honest about her journey which started with realizing she was bisexual at a very young age, falling in lov...

After a long hiatus due to travel and airborne illnesses, Josh and Jo return to remember the good, the better and the best moments! Looking forward to more pods with awesome guests and salacious topics in the new year!

Josh, Jo and an intermittent guest, Michelle, explore the possible motivations of men when they see and approach women at a bar. What are they really looking for? Because Josh is slightly deeper than the average, he actually delivers the opposite when a woman looks like she's simply looking for validation! Also, an Esther Perel moment about giving your partner your leftover energy at the end o...

Josh and Jo reflect on the podcast, "Hidden Brain," which explored what can be gained from pain in relationships and in life. Being folks who aren't afraid to do the hard work, we discuss the benefits of working through a broken heart. And, it's a JAZZY Q and A! Well, it's more of a Jazzy Tutorial and it's mmm, mmm good!

Josh and Jo do their best not to F%KC up Michelle's already F%KCED up relationship (tongue and cheek as she has approved this message). Should she stay or should she go away and rediscover herself?! She wants to know!

Towards the year's end (and Josh NEARLY turning 50), we find ways to renew and rethink our perspectives... For Jo, it's about continuing to let go of the past as she leans on Josh who is a constant in her life and walks behind her encouraging her along the way. (He doesn't know she has embedded this note of thanks. Let's see how long it takes him to catch it..." Belated Happy...

Josh and Jo talk about the differences between dating early on and again at nearly 50. Different goals and priorities have morphed the relationship escalator into the “relationship moving walkway..” (Trademarked by the Josh and Jo Podcast!😉) Forever trying to do life better, Josh and Jo are at their most vulnerable in this instant classic pod effort.

Josh and Jo contemplate why they do this podcast.  One thing for sure, we do not sell out.  This is a verbal representation of our current journey towards trying to figure it out at our age and experience.  We can only hope it titillates your senses a bit and at least point 5 percent of what we say helps your journey as well!  Plus… wait, what?  Josh had never heard of a THIRST TRAP!

An update on Josh's relationship with Jazzy... it's going strong and makes a good case for digital dating/partners! And, by popular demand: Dirty Talk. How, when, how much, and what did you say while in what position? Lastly, a very important listenership question from Josh: "In the heat of the moment, have you ever said you'd do agree to do something dirty and later regretted it?...

Josh and Jo go through a published list of characteristics that suggests what makes a High Value Person / Partner. We embellish, clarify and add to the list based on our own thoughts... do you agree?

Pulling a a little clickbait but find out who she is at the end of this podcast! In all seriousness, Josh and Jo discuss a seemingly common reaction to breakups: that it’s THEIR fault. But is it really?

The game of golf and how people act on the course can be a metaphor for life and relationships. There is power in not losing your cool and the choice to do so can help you become a better human and, more importantly, set a good example for others. Josh and Jo also explore the question from a listener:  How wild should someone go in the divorce afterlife or post long-term relationship?  Do you agre...

Based on research and experience, it’s safe to say that the majority of us has been touched by infidelity in one form or another.  Jo continues to probe this topic (slightly annoying Josh in the process) but coming at it from a slightly different angle.  She asks Josh, “How do you start a conversation when you find yourself in the middle of it?”  Josh has some suggestions a few other revelations r...
