Majestically Awkward podcast | where awkward friends talk about awkward things

In this episode, we’re talking about weird food issues. How does what was drilled into you in childhood affect how you eat today? Did your parents pass down any weird food aversions? We go on to talk about foods that we hate (spoiler alert: Tim’s are the weirdest) before moving on to segment two: Is This for Real?

This week’s topic is Reddit forums, which, again, I have absolutely no clue about. I generally think of Reddit as a deep dark filthy dungeon. This game did absolutely nothing to convince me otherwise.

Last but not least, we wrap up by getting awkward as I share a story about meeting Tim’s entire extended family for the first time.

As always, our show is not safe for kids. Our potty mouths flow freely and we talk about a lot of adult topics.

Also, if you’d like to play along with us for our Is This for Real? segment, don’t scroll down until after you listen. There are spoilers ahead!

Majestically Awkward podcast | Eau De Lepus

In this week’s episode, we talk about something that we find both weird and hilarious: the way products are marketed to men or women. We know we’re different creatures, but the stereotypical ways that advertisers try to reach our demographics have sometimes hilarious results. We also played another round of Is This for Real?  This week’s theme was horror movies and got pretty freaking silly. We wrapped up with an awkward moment that involved one of Jen’s thieving children.

As always, this episode is not safe to listen to with kids around. We have potty mouths and discuss adult topics, so wait until the kids are asleep or you’re at the gym with some earbuds in.

If you want to play Is This For Real? along with us, don’t scroll down to the show notes until after listening—there are some spoilers!

Majestically Awkward podcast | Howdy Ma’am

Majestically Awkward podcast

In today’s episode, we start out with a little mom vs. non-mom discussion on what the heck to do when someone else’s kid has a public meltdown. We also touch on how to deal when someone’s kid is being a bully and talk a little bit about moms being nasty to each other. Next, we introduce a new segment called Is This for Real? where Tim goes through a list of topics—some real, some fake—and Janine and I have to decide which are real. This week’s theme is romance novels and it’s pretty hilarious. We wrap it all up with a metaphorical face punch to One Million Moms who are taking a stand against the Disney Channel and Andi Mack.

Also new this week is music from our good friend BRBRCK. We love you Berbs!

As always, this episode is not safe to listen to with kids around. We have potty mouths and discuss adult topics, so wait until the kids are asleep or you’re at the gym with some earbuds in.

Majestically Awkward podcast | Episode 2: Congratulations, I’m So Sorry

Majestically Awkward podcast | where awkward friends talk about awkward things

Episode two of the Majestically Awkward podcast is live!

This week’s episode of Majestically Awkward spends a whole lot of time talking about boobs. We start out by discussing breastfeeding in public (spoiler alert: Janine and I are all for it) before discussing how and why the Tata Towel became a thing. We would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on both topics:

  • How do you feel about breastfeeding in public?
  • Do you think a mom should cover up?
  • Do you have any strong opinions on breastfeeding in general?
  • What about the Tata Towel? Do you get it?
  • Would you use the Tata Towel?
  • Do you already own it?

Do tell! We’re are incredibly interested in other people’s thoughts on both issues and want to hear from you if you have an idea or story that wasn’t reflected in our talk.

We ended the episode talking about a few awkward moments experienced at funerals. I dare you not to laugh.

PS If you’re not into podcasts (or you’re just not into this one) and you’re wondering if there will ever be regular mom-related content in this space again, hang tight! Life has been crazy busy, but I have a few posts lined up—including lots of great content on books for all ages (from little ones to mommas). Also, you should totally get into podcasts—especially this one. 😉

Introducing the Majestically Awkward Podcast! Episode One

Majestically Awkward podcast

Ahhhhh! I’m so nervous and excited to announce the first ever Majestically Awkward podcast episode!

Janine and I have been friends since the fourth grade and we share the unique quality of being able to turn any situation into a really awkward one. We giggle nervously when the appropriate response is more like horror or sadness. We say the wrong things in an effort to make other people less uncomfortable. We have verbal diarrhea when we should just keep our mouths closed. We’re majestically awkward.

We’re also really huge podcast nerds (check out some of my favorite podcasts that are under thirty minutes).

One day we decided that we should start our own podcast. After months of halfhearted “planning” (read: coffee dates) we decided to just do this thing. My husband jumped on board to moderate us and keep us from going down deep dark holes of content that will make sense to no one but us. He’s also helping with the technical stuff because, to be honest, Janine and I just want to talk.

The result is an amusing exploration of awkwardness that will get better with age.

about the momma

Hi! I'm Jen, a freelance writer and girl mom who loves reading the newest children’s books as much as I love a good psychological thriller. I believe fiercely in the power of kindness, empathy, and really good quality chocolate. When I'm not knee-deep in glittery crafts and girl talk, you can probably find me sprawled out on my couch in the middle of a Netflix marathon with dark chocolate smeared on my face. The struggle is real. Learn more about me here.
