Nerdacious Behavior

Sean tells the story of his worst date, during super bowl 2017 when a girl he had been dating goes on racist rants and shits in his car port before driving home drunk. Not to be outdone, Yvette details her date punching a celebrity’s bratty son to the gentle notes of a masturbating bum.

In this Episode, Yvette asked OG Santana to come back for a special New Decade Episode!  But she said no.  So instead, Yvette subjects Poor Man's Santana to ideas she's been working on all day about how to choose a new, better, different life (and on a related note, self) in the upcoming decade.  Since Yvette has ADD, she starts in the middle (take inventory of who you are and what makes you stronger/weaker), circles back to what should have been the beginning (define the kind of year and decade you want to manifest), lets PMS derail her with dream analysis and finally ties it all together (except maybe that dream stuff) with step 3, create a new, better, faster, stronger, 2007 Kanye normal. 

After some technical difficulties, we finally bring you the second half of interview with the Host of Bourbon and Burlesque, Chris Thomas! Since the holidays are twelve kinds of demanding, your favorite nerds are too deliriously tired from putting Frozen and Batman bikes together in the middle of the night to remember what we talked about weeks ago when this episode was recorded.  Hope you enjoy the surprise!  Merry Christmas!!  Where you can follow Bourbon and Burlesque: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/bourbonandburlesque/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARAKGyOC9TuxUkKXbB71-xsvwBwPQZyAi1seijylQGfjv-ZRyEWjWqBhoW9CduXQPm1Lwe43yoiXVKKV Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/bourbonandburlesque/?hl=en Unrelated, how you can give birth to your husband's clone: https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/shes-twin/story?id=2315693

Full moons are all about reflection, releasing and realignment so on the last full moon of the decade, Yvette drinks entirely too much wine (literally two glasses) and Autumn, unsurprisingly, doesn't want to explore anything negative.  Then they talk about the good, bad and the ugly of the holidays and how they go about surviving and thriving in them -Yvette leans in, Autumn leans out and both believe in a choose your own adventure approach regarding holidays and life. Finally Autumn makes Yvette feel like garbage for loving Woody Allen.

In this episode Autumn and Yvette interview the Host of Bourbon and Burlesque, Chris Thomas. In what was supposed to be an episode about sexy things like burlesque, Yvette gets distracted pretty early on and derails the three of them into exploring how Chris accidentally stumbled onto sobriety after a rough night out.  Specifically, Chris shares what his choose your own recovery process looked like (diet, exercise, attainable goals) and the unexpected gifts of his sobriety (grad school, career, hobbies).   After exploring recovery, the trio stays on track momentarily while Chris talks about his experience as burlesque host and Yvette tells Chris why he should do standup. Then things get weird as the topic of polyamory turns into them talking for an oddly long time about sperm competition and how women can accidentally giving birth to their partner's clone.  Where you can follow Bourbon and Burlesque:  Dec 7th show:  https://bourbonandburlesque.ticketleap.com/bourbon-in-a-burlesque-wonderland/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/bourbonandburlesque/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARAKGyOC9TuxUkKXbB71-xsvwBwPQZyAi1seijylQGfjv-ZRyEWjWqBhoW9CduXQPm1Lwe43yoiXVKKV  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/bourbonandburlesque/?hl=en Unrelated, how you can give birth to your husband's clone: https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/shes-twin/story?id=2315693

This week Autumn and Yvette spend most of the time talking about the importance of maintaining self-love basics, especially when the chips are down. They also discuss their self love practices and the counterintuitive relationship between self-love and selfishness -plus a bunch of other psychobabble.

After only 10 years of Yvette nagging, Autumn finally starts journaling and loves it.  Then she tries to explain her “be patient with liars” philosophy. Unconvinced, Yvette respectfully disagrees and strongly suggests not lying to her. Later, the two touch on the subject of Yvette's favorite book, The Art of Loving.

Autumn and Yvette try to talk about whether or not people can change but the conversation digresses, like so many, into one of death and dying. More specifically, they discuss what aided their grieving processes (Yvette plugs journaling yet again) and how you can be helpful to a loved one who’s grieving. PS were still experiencing technical difficulties and so like this is totally unedited and rough 🤫

In typical mercury retrograde form, Yvette’s technology is failing and as a result, this podcast is completely unedited. During this verbose overshare, Yvette and her long time bestie Autumn talk about the time Yvette gave her heart to a dumpster-fire and how that relates to various patterns they’ve participated in and witnessed over the course of their 20 yr friendship.

Honestly, it wasn’t hard. In this episode, Yvette interviews professional dominatrix, Serena Stangata and even though Yvette tried really hard to be respectful, she failed miserably and accidentally upset Serena into hanging up on her. Before that, the pair did get to explore the mind and experiences of a dominatrix. Spoiler: she hates men a lot more than we expected and seems to be largely fueled by anger, which for some reason, surprised Yvette. If you want to hear about European style dungeons, the joys of shoving needles into fingernails (and genitals), play parties, furries, adult babies, foot worship and Dave Chappelle, this is the episode for you. For added fun, have a drink every time Yvette says the word “fascinating” when she’s mostly just hoping others will be more interested in this stuff than her puritanical sensibilities let her be.
