This podcast is my happiness charging station for the whole week. Sometimes the news are too much to absorb and process. I’m thankful for this pod were I can laugh, relax, pause, think and put things in perspective.

go easy on Fortune about not knowing Pepto-Bismol. remember what her grandma would do anytime she was sick? Suppositories

That episode of AfterMidnight was hands down the funniest episode to date. Tig's "I'm bored" comment was priceless.

[@smushie75]

The self care/regret conversation reminded me of a saying my Grandma had:” Regret is only when you forgot the way you felt when you made a decision”.

This whole podcast is just you three being surprised about what others don’t know about 😂

I used to have a friend who would pretend she didn’t know me if I hadn’t called within a week. I wasn’t a big phone person and so I’d have to force myself to call her, just to be met with, “who’s this?? … I don’t know a Lolly!” every time. It was so tedious. I hadn’t called for a few days at one point and knew she’d just do her shtick with me, so I decided I didn’t need to put myself through it again. It’s been about 25 years now and I still haven’t called…

Hearing Tig say “Fortune!” just makes me happy 😂😂

[@lefran2137]

I’m with Mae. I love when people cancel!

[@CiriceMe]

I absolutely know the knock-off meds; "Bismuth," "Tussin." 😂

[@erintheokay]

So glad you did "After Midnight." It was easily the best episode yet and I hope you do it again!

I like this question. We call this, "Protecting your YES". I realised I was bad at this and it really got in the way of relationships, so when I saw my son going through the same problem, I think I listened to a psychology podcast (probably "You are not so smart") and came across this phrase. We are both good at certain things and when people learn about it, we get volunteered or constantly asked to help with said things. It was happening in the last few years of his secondary schooling. The section head, or rector was asking him to teach classes in things his vocational teachers hadn't kept up with, technology-wise. He's high functioning ASD, ADHD, and I saw the toll that the social demands were making on him. We had a big talk about "Protecting his YES" and that this sort of thing won't stop at school. In fact, certain family members were the worst with demands and expectations. Hes gotten better at saying, "I just don't have the energy for this right now. Check back with me on xday".

Full of beans is definitely a saying!

[@sarachazindonaldson909]

LOOOOOOOVED this episode! Boundaries have been my biggest lesson in therapy.

[@juliabecker2356]

Handsome pod is the happy fun, giggling, thought pause space needed.

[@allienixon1322]

OMG, Fortune, I always said Pepto Bismo my whole life until now. Ha!🤣

[@Slapsista]

I think I am going to die from coughing and happiness at 'eat my ass'

[@AFBerg12]

I laughed so hard at the After Midnight episode. Love ya'll

[@danihusom8668]

Couldn't agree with Fortune more! In some sort of apocalypse zombie world/plane crash situation, I'm very much a "just eat my a$s" kind of person! 😆😁🤣😂

[@anapetrus7804]

First, I have done that with my nose whistling, and I didn’t know that’s what it was.

[@flamingo499]

Quit peekin' is now my new ring tone. Thanks Tig.
