13: Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon / a.k.a. Shelly's Rant 17.02.2019 50:25

Welcome to lucky number 13! In this episode Shelly talks about that very special time when she blossomed into womanhood. Warning: this description gets a bit graphic (as usual, Shelly's mouth filter is on the fritz). We also continue the saga of the big church exit, which gets her a bit riled up (breathe, Shelly). Buckle up kids, this ride is bumpy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.pur...

12: Cadaver Gums 10.02.2019 44:03

Shelly's undergoing gum surgery soon, and in this episode we discuss where those things come from. Ew. We also talk about the first time we both encountered a gay person, and Shelly continues her story about leaving the church and her interview with that beer-hating bishop. It's a good one - enjoy!

11: Shower Beer 03.02.2019 49:50

What, you don't drink beer in the shower? Some say it makes a great conditioner. In fact, Shelly claimed that once when her kids asked her if she'd been drinking. True story. In this episode, Shelly also begins the painful retelling of leaving the church, and Mary describes her second coming...out. Oy! But now the spoilers are over and it's time to get to the actual listening. Hope you enjoy! Musi...

10: Pizza Porn 27.01.2019 44:57

Don't worry, we're not giving up the podcast to be porn stars. But if we did, let's just say pizza would be involved. Yep, it seems strange to us too. Welcome to our 10th episode! Shelly comes out again, this time to her parents. Since we've been teasing this one for weeks we thought it was time to get to it already. Jeez. Hope you enjoy, and please share with a friend if you feel like it...and m...

9: I Hope They Call Me on a Mission 20.01.2019 59:53

What's the big deal about Mormon Missions, anyway? Well, we tackle 'em head on in our 9th podcast, so check it out! Also, we discuss professional recycling, sinful, costly tattoos, and dehydrating yogurt (yes, that's a thing). Hope you enjoy it. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

8: Men In Suits 13.01.2019 46:15

This episode stumbled upon a big trigger for Shelly. It gets emotional, but we managed to balance the discussion with a revelation about racist panty hose. Ridiculous. Also, we read a sweet yet slightly heartbreaking letter from Angelica. Hang in there, though, because it has a happy ending. Thanks for writing in, Angelica!

7: The Christmas Letter 06.01.2019 41:50

Shelly talks about the annual Christmas letter from her "perfect Mormon family." Insert eye-rolling emoji. Mary is starting to think this Mormon stuff might actually be fake. Hmm...

6: the Holiday Episode 30.12.2018 34:33

Happy Holidays! Shelly gives her children an amazing gift by coming out to them. Also, nothing says Merry Christmas like ridiculously strong cocktails set on fire!

5: Coming Out, part 2 30.12.2018 43:31

In this episode we talk about coming out to Shelly's husband. What a treat that was. And will Mary and Shelly ever find the perfect canine companion for Eddie? Decisions, decisions...

4: Coming Out, part 1 23.12.2018 46:54

Shelly responds to listener questions about her first Mormon memory, then we dive into part 1 of her coming out story...if she can get a word in. Mary, you came out a long time ago. Let the newbie get a turn. Listeners, you might want to grab a cocktail and get comfortable for this one. It's at least a two-parter. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

3: First Date 09.12.2018 28:24

People wonder how an ex-Mormon mother of 7 ended up on a date with a "career lesbian." We actually wonder the same thing. Give a listen and find out. Music provided by Purple Planet: www.purple-planet.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2: The Prequel 02.12.2018 19:52

Welcome back! Mary and Shelly back up a little and describe Mormonism a bit better. Mary's still confused though. Is this stuff actually crazy? All signs point to yes. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
