Today on NQT . . . Chryssy and Brian know their place, and that their opinions on things outside dating, divorce, and parenting aren’t what you’re here for. So, we promise to stick to what we know.

The drink is bourbon on the rocks. We know this is not a cocktail, but it’s producer Jon’s favorite drink and we are celebrating his birthday! Brian chooses Noah’s Mill as our bourbon of choice and Chryssy made ice, which is a big culinary feat for her. The pair obviously don’t know much at all about scotch or bourbon or whiskey. But we gave it our best.

In foreplay, we discuss this excellent article, sent to Chryssy by a friend who really “gets” this brand. Listen in to hear the team’s thoughts. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8358109/amp/Swiss-brothels-draw-list-coronavirus-safe-sex-positions.html

Brian suggests we watch “Cathouse.” Here’s a link to the Wiki about the series, which doesn’t look to be widely available currently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathouse:_The_Series

Brian gets away with a fair share of quips at Chryssy’s expense today, which will surely be counterbalanced in a future episode.

In the Down and Dirty, we talk about how we each changed as people as we went through our divorces.

Brian went to the gym and Chryssy went on a 550 miles soul-searching hike. Listen in to hear about that experience.

Both our core groups of friends changed in our divorces. Our core communities changed, and some things changed for our kids, too - and most of that sucked. Both B and C are learning what friendship should look like and realizing perhaps some of their previous relationships weren’t as genuine, deep, or supportive as they thought.

There are some hard realizations here, and it’s definitely a look at the not-so-sunny-side of divorce and self-discovery. But at the end of the day, we celebrate taking a step closer to being who and where we are supposed to be. Gotta love a happy ending.

Until next time.
