On What Grounds 4 – Introducing the Shrek Game – For Adults
01 week ago
So you’re hanging out friends, having a conversation, playing some sort of truth or dare game and you end up talking about exhibitionist and dissertations about bisexuality. And you record it. That’s our podcast.
Fair warning: There are swear words
The conversation continues with whether Amy Schumer is hot or funny and the production value of Two Girls One Cup.
Lindsay and Bob once had a Sleep Number Bed. While Bob found his “number” and had the best sleep of his life, Lindsay never found hers and hated the bed. Bottom line, the bed wasn’t comfortable for sex, so it was thrown out.
We revisit Lindsay’s hysterectomy scar, which is healing nicely, despite her pulling her own stitches out.
Bob is working out and drinking fat flush water in an attempt to lose weight. It was going well until he went to McDonald’s for a grilled chicken sandwich and got someone else’s lunch. And, you know, sometimes you just got to drive away and enjoy someone else’s crispy chicken and fries.
And the girls admit they sometimes sabotage diets by ordering too much when eating out or junk food with groceries. The girls can take just a taste and pass it on to the boys. Pop. Fast food.
The Shrek game: The Shrek doll is passed around and everyone kisses the doll. From then on out it gets a little confusing. But the results are hilarious.
Love/hate: Bob is happy with Lindsay’s continuing recovery; Lindsay is happy with Bob’s yard work project; Beth loves sitting next to Josh at dinner; Josh is loving life but hates the Miami Heat; Beth hates flash drives; Lindsay hates the idea of planting a garden; and Bob hates when his response to a sext is rejected.

On What Grounds 3 – Boston the Beautiful, America the Beautiful
01 month ago
We’re back with episode 3 of “On What Grounds,” a bonus episode of sorts. In this episode we threw our normal format out the window to talk about the Boston Marathon bombing and all the horrific events over the last several years and how this country appears to be getting stronger despite these horrible tragedies.
We take on the 24-hour news networks and we dabble in the gun control debate. This will not be our typical podcast, we just had a lot on our minds regarding the bombing and we wanted to talk about it.

On What Grounds 2 – Working Women and Hysterectomies
01 month ago
We’re back with episode 2 of “On What Grounds.” In this episode we discuss Lindsay’s health and recovery from her recent hysterectomy. There have been some concerns, like the fact she can’t have more kids, or worrying about growing a penis.
“On What Grounds” has a new sponsor, AdamandEve.com, linked through our website.
There’s lots of stuff on there and if you want to send us a review, we’ll be happy to talk about you.
This week we discuss a survey about stay-at-home parenting vs. full-time work. While Beth and Josh don’t have kids, Beth is sure she will work full-time when and if a little one comes along. Josh talks about the stay-at-home dad he knows.
Lindsay discusses her experiences with extended time off work and how she’s ready to return to work by the end of the summer. Bob recalls when he was laid off work and stayed home with their child and claims that is the harder job.
We discuss what it means to be a good parent. Lindsay says there are no cookie-cutter perfect parents and perfect children, so to call yourself a good parent or bad parent is misleading.
Our visions for what our work/family balance would has changed over the years. We’re not doing what our parents did, but our work/family balance works for us.
Hate and love: chores, Facebook drama, recovery after surgery has had its ups and downs, healthy living.

On What Grounds 1 – New Beginnings
02 months ago
Welcome to On What Grounds, a marriage podcast, that we’re still not really sure what it’s about yet.
Two couples, Bob and Lindsey, and Josh and Beth, have been married in the 8-9 year range. They’re looking for a reason to hang out with friends.
In the first episode they discuss an article from the Los Angeles Times headlined Getting married later can have economic costs, benefits. Lindsay reveals she would have made different choices about her marriage and family if she had to live life over again. Maybe she’d go for a 55 year old.
Then we all figure out what we’d do with a knocked up teenager. There are disagreements over whether they should be kicked out of the house.
