This week we welcome comedian Tanya Mansfield. We were supposed to talk about her experiences being the middle child, but quickly segued into talking about that one friend, we all had one -- they're older, they're reckless, the red flags are plentiful and waving but we couldn't seem to see them at the time. Tanya had a party friend, and we KNOW she's not alone. This story has everything a teenager could want: an RV, UV vodka, cheetah print bikini tops and more.

Even been home alone during a robbery? Comedian, writer and this week's guest Ben Gorodetsky has. As an 11 year old with temporarily unsupervised internet access, it should have been every boy's dream evening. But unfortunately for Ben things took a turn. From excellent stranger danger boundary setting (DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN A STRANGER KNOCKS!) to head smacking police blunders (GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE) to the wild tale of Ben and his family surviving a SECOND home invasion years later, this episode is NOT one to miss.

This week we're joined by comedian Dave Apkarian. Growing up in an Evangelical church, Dave took what he saw around him and used it to his advantage - like thinking if the spirit of the Lord entered him, a cute girl would TOTALLY be into him. Surprisingly it didn't work. Outside of church Dave and his brother stayed busy doing kid stuff like watching Terminator and helping their dad with laborious farm work including an insane story about a pig that you absolutely don't want to miss.

This week we sit down with comedian Kristine Blinn and get right into it. It's a whole episode on body talk. From a little kid in a bathing suit to the grown ass woman she is today, it's been decades of mixed messages, negative self talk, learning to unlearn it, and sending 1 million middle fingers to the diet industry. We loved getting to have such a candid talk with such a wonderful guest.

This week we welcome CT's strongest comedian / funniest strong man Pete Angelo. Growing up as a big guy in a small town, when Pete started to realize he had feelings for men, he wasn't exactly sure how to navigate that terrain, so for a while he held it in. We are so glad he was eventually able to express his true self and share with us his stories of how he did it. As with most coming of age stories in the early 2000's, we're sending a huge shout out to Myspace.

We're joined by comedian Bridget Kavanagh this week who claims she was a dorky child, but upon further reflection we think she just had weird hobbies and a bad haircut. We learn Bridget had a personalized Mets bowling ball, a pretty historically accurate Harry Potter Halloween costume and for some reason she joined varsity golf in high school. Ok now that we read it all together, maybe she was dork after all.

This week we're joined by comedian Kayleigh Dumas for a tale no teen wants to tell: Kayleigh was pantsed at a pool party! It's your classic story of adolescent live triangles and passive aggression -- ok maybe aggressive aggression from the lenses of three adults who have clearly worked through the issues they had as young people and are doing much better now. Bullying disguised as friendship, undiagnosed ADHD, this episode really takes us back.

This week we welcome comedian and writer Emily Landrum! Emily is the oldest of 7 children and was home schooled in a Christian household. As you probably know by now Katie and Laura were...not, so they had a lot of questions! From nail polish envy to realizing she was sort of living in the Foot Loose town, we were thrilled to listen to Emily's stories of growing up not quite on the prairie, but like if the prairie had a snowboarding team!

For comedian Jay Whittaker, high school didn't suck. Moving from Los Angeles to Orange County could have been disastrous, but a pro move by Jay's dad helped ensure a smooth transition (Moving between school years? Enroll your kids in summer school!) A social butterfly who could hang just as easily with the jocks, band geeks and theater kids, it's no wonder Jay was voted Most Spirited....twice!

After college but before becoming a world traveling comedian, Orlando Baxter needed an escape from corporate America. The path he thought was going to lead him to being a guidance counselor actually made him a math teacher...and a television tech teacher...and a volleyball coach...and an in school suspension teacher. We loved getting to sit down with Orlando and hear all about the route he took to make a difference to the kids in his neighborhood, and ultimately what led him to keep pushing to find himself where he is today.

Laura and Ashleigh met at a taping of Let's Make a Deal so we open the episode with some reminiscing.  Once we remember that's not what we're here to discuss, Ashleigh tells us the unfortunate tale of a college track meet turned food poisoning misadventure. We also talk a lot about our lives pre-covid and what we think -  and hope they're going to look like in a post-covid world. We cover balance in friendship groups - for every wild idea friend there needs to be someone saying no, and everything in between.

Let's face it, when your girl gang is made up of kids with rich parents and minimal supervision, things can get a little crazy. Like so many tales of teenage rebellion, Ester discovered if you fly too close to the sun, you're bound to get burned - or grounded for a year.

Wynter's experiences during her time with Up with People helped her find a way to create an adult life as a professional artist and performer.  Normally you can find her performing live all over the place, but until those vaccines kick in it's a Zoom life for the time being.

It consumed her life as a third grader, but by relating it to when she was able to quit biting her nails, she was able to kick the compulsion and now it's sort of a "birthdays and anniversaries" treat.

***Content warning: Jaime Lee's story is heavy and contains descriptions of domestic abuse and drug addiction. Resources are available below:

This week Katie and Laura sit down with comedian and OnlyFans content creator Jaime Lee. Jaime had one hell of a childhood, and that's putting it incredibly lightly. After witnessing her parents' battles with addiction and withstanding bullying and abuse, Jaime busted her butt to out herself through college to be able to provide stability for herself and her younger siblings. Not a story for the faint of heart, but certainly one about perseverance and making your own way.

Comedian, actress and writer Kate Willett joins us this week to share her classic tale of adolescence. Girl meets boy, girl starts rumors about herself, boy dumps girl, girls are mean to girl, girl starts more rumors about herself...you know, an age old classic.

After an embarrassing tale and brief reminder that we don't talk about sex in public, Colleen discovered she couldn't (wouldn't?) stop. talking. about. sex. We followed along on her journey from flabbergasted child (3 kids = sex 3 times?!), losing the big V, and finally into the happy and loving relationship she's in today.

This week we're joined by comedian Oscar Collazos. Oscar and his family immigrated to the United States from Colombia when he was 7. He made his way by making people laugh (pro-tip: start with physical comedy while you're learning the language), and from there it was uphill all the way -- except sleepovers, his mom wasn't having that. In this episode we bond over our unpronounceable names, holidays with TOO MUCH FOOD, spray painting cars and riding on tow trucks. There's a little something for everyone this week and we hope you enjoy.

First thing's first, we do some physical and emotional housekeeping -- trim your fingernails and communicate clearly people. Then we really get to it - Corey shares his tale of first love (beautiful feet!), betrayal and heartbreak (a 3-way call gone terribly wrong) - this is the stuff roller coasters are made of, baby.

In most of our episodes our guests regale us with cringe-worthy tales of awkward, absurd or extreme nerd, but this week is different. In 8th grade Candy asked one of the Brians in her class (SO MANY BRIANS) why all the boys wanted to be her friend, and that's when she realized she was pretty! Katie and Laura weren't sure they'd have a whole lot to contribute to this episode but Candy helped them to see that they did. Self love! Self care! There's more to you than your appearance!

A clinical therapist, researcher and psychic medium, Brittany shares with Katie and Laura tales of growing up realizing she was a "creepy ass kid", that she could engage with spirits, and how she learned to harness that energy to help others and herself.

This week Katie and Laura are thrilled to welcome special guest, comedian Leah Bonnema to talk church camp! If you were waiting for the episode where we talked Slaughter, Meat Loaf, and Drakkar Noir, this is it.
