Episode 4: Testing Jul 09, 2018

Pregnancy tests can be stressful and confusing (just say ‘baby’ or ‘freedom’). Both answers can be disappointing depending on what phase of life you’re in at the time. On this episode, @AveryFunny & @SandyDanto explore the intricacies of testing pee on a stick and hear anecdotes of comics who have lived to be able to tell whether or not it’s a positive or negative and whether or not you think that’s a positive or negative! Listen up MFers!!

Episode 3: Miscarriage Jul 02, 2018

On the third installment of Mother F*ckers, Avery and Sandy tackle a tough subject while trying to avoid mansplaining it. Miscarriage is an unfortunate part of the procreation process and we specifically made this episode to tell anyone who has gone through it that they are not alone. We try to bring levity to such a heavy issue, listen to see if we can tread lightly enough or if you're a snowflake, listen for outrage porn.
