episode S3E3 - My Late Husband cover

Description

What do Little League parents, luxury handbags, horse racing, Pokémon treasure hunts, and a "late husband's wedding band" all have in common? Absolutely nothing. Which is exactly why this episode works. This week, Gretchen and Missy get surprisingly real about one of the hardest parts of parenting: raising resilient kids without crushing their spirit. They talk discipline, disappointment, emotional meltdowns, sports parents, and the delicate balance between gentle parenting and preparing kids for the real world. Then, naturally, an Oura Ring sparks one of the funniest conversations of the episode after Gretchen points out it looks suspiciously like a man's wedding band, leading Missy to reassure her that nobody's going to assume she's wearing her late husband's ring. It makes perfect sense...eventually. From there it's classic Nut Farm chaos: an underground Pokémon treasure hunt hiding beneath Target shelves, Mother's Day ponder pieces, impossible handbag wish lists, Kentucky Derby dreams, Met Gala fashion critiques, and a spirited debate over dogs in grocery stores. Heartfelt. Completely off the rails. Exactly how we like it. Welcome back to The Nut Farm.

S3E10 - Fire In The Chat

This week on The Nut Farm, Gretchen and Missy take a tour through thirty years of American chaos — starting with Lorena Bobbitt’s Ginsu knife, stopping at the OJ verdict, swinging past Michael Jackson’s black suitcase and Marilyn Monroe’s suspiciously broken window, and somehow ending at a German man’s Vegas mansion for plus-size women and an eBay Live Pokémon card addiction. Along the way: • A principal who gathered the entire school to watch a murder verdict • A boyfriend who borrowed a Porsche for a street race and was never heard from again • A Jeep, a snowbank, and a divine stranger who happened to walk by • The Indian man who lived 90 years without food or water (the gargling loophole is discussed) • A somatic breathwork pitch to a lawyer with pincushion lungs • Déjà vu as spiritual confirmation • Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum, Dr. Kevorkian’s death van, and why Missy would absolutely leave • The eBay Live auction feature that is, by everyone’s admission, going to be an issue   Come for the true crime. Stay for the breathwork. Leave with a lot of questions about Michael Jackson.
