A bar called Gushers filled me with immediate sadness, lol!

Kim Longo

Poods, I’m with you on MOriah. I had such hope for her. I honestly think if she could meet a good guy that was secularish, it might bring her back to center a bit. I would say a good friend, male, non-binary or female, but I can tell she puts much of her validation in what a man thinks of her. She’s delicate and I don’t fault her for that, but I thought she could see her parents for who they were. I don’t expect her to dis own them, but to see that their beliefs are damaging. I guess more on Papa Plath, who is an awful person, that has allowed religious dogma to cause so much damage. Mama Plath has for sure, but seems to be back peddling a bit. Unfortunately, the damage is done. The shaming starts the day each kid is born.

As a childless gay man who’s been privy to too much marriage/parent drama…I feel seen.

Ken posted a pic on FB of him hanging out with the Plaths, including Barry, a year before he and Kim say they started dating.

My stepson was 5 when his dad and I started dating. My husband introduced me as a friend and let my stepson take the lead on how much he wanted to spend time with me. For the first few years, I was never a parent figure, only a friend and trusted adult. I developed a secure attachment with him and then slowly started to contribute to his parenting. He is 11 now and the sweetest kid. I'll let you know how things are in 10-20 years 🤞🤞

My parents divorced when I was 10; they never asked us and both started dating pretty fast. They did everything wrong…early to mid 80’s.

I could barely wait for the episode to end so I could hear Mattie and Poodle chat all things CJ.

Erica Garcia

Omg when y’all did that knowing laugh to each other that only besties can I lost it. LG’s boyfriend did have a certain air about him; he was almost appalled that Olivia handed him a drink, you think he wanted a rosé instead? Agreed that this season is a slog because they’re all returning to the fold and we don’t like you Mama and Papa! Begone

CG

I was in theater, and as soon as you guys started laughing I spit out my toothpaste!! because I was waiting for it!!! Haaa haaa!!!

CE Z

Thank you for getting this up so fast!!

Jana Wilson

Lydia Grace reminds me of a parks & rec character

Starr D

Had me laughing start to finish

Megan

HAAAAAAA CJ. I THOUGHT THE SAME. As soon as he opened his mouth.

Alyssa Holland

I think what I haven’t seen yet in this discussion on Moriah is how thoroughly evangelicals romanticize the “prodigal son” narrative. Getting baptized once is the baseline. Getting baptized a second time, because you became “of the world” and then returned to the faith is the ideal. For someone struggling to understand herself who is desperate for approval, this push and pull is so intoxicating, especially for a dopamine-seeker. I think Moriah is going to maintain this pattern for the rest of her life without some deep trauma therapy and potentially tools for recovery.

Stacey Bancroft

As soon as CJ came in that apartment and started talking I told my husband, Lydia Grace has found herself a gay boyfriend. My husband responded “Yep, that he is, and she’s so sheltered she’ll never figure it out on her own.”

Anna

I’m sorry but if my 15ish year old son comes home talking about a hilarious, cool old man he met at work I am certainly not going to be excited about this new friend. WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE! DATING A MAN WHO IS BESTIES WITH YOUR MINOR SON IS TRULY WILD KIM

DJ Nightshade

I get if you think it’s overall weird but idk what Isaac being 17 has to do with it being weird. The dude is like 50. Like, let’s reserve pointing out issues with minors when the minor is actually in harm’s way, otherwise it’s a reach in my opinion.

Marcy Rodenborn

I kind of lost it when Moriah started the whole “Ethan bullied me” narrative. I feel like she’s just desperate for attention and validation wherever she can get it.

Jenn

I didn’t watch the episode yet, but as soon as I heard Poodle start the CJ discussion with that higher pitched “Umm…”, I knew that Lydia Grace had a lovely gay boyfriend.

Lisa F

Y’all were on FIRE this podcast!!! You two always vibe; but there was something happening that was PEAK Mattie and Poodle. I had to rewind the CJ segment a few times because the way y’all started laughing without even saying anything at first SENT ME. This should be the nominee for any podcast award. LOL!!

Amy Diehl

I knew what y'all were gonna say about CJ right when he walked in 😂😂😂 also Ethan was such a DICK in this episode!! Olivia told him to stop doing donuts and he just completely dismissed her even after they got home ugh
