177: My Dad Just Died

In this episode, Shelly's dad dies. Not literally on the show (that would have been super-weird) but just a few days before this episode was recorded. Plus, Shelly and guest co-host Kirsten get extremely sidetracked with a conversation about karaoke. Also, you will learn about Shelly's brother's magical priesthood ability to "release" dead people from their bodies. I'm not kidding. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

176: Shelly's Mom's funeral Pt. 2

More Mormon funeral discussion? Hell yeah. In today’s episode, guest host Kirsten Morgan helps Shelly unpack the rest of her mom’s funeral, and there’s plenty of it. As an added bonus, you will get to hear Shelly’s talk that she gave from the pulpit, in a Mormon chapel, in front of hundreds of Mormons. Did she announce that she is gay? Of course she did. Did the church burn to the ground? Listen up and find out. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Hi friends, today's episode was extremely difficult and emotional to record.
