BMM EP 180: All Dogs Go to Heaven

For this episode you must love dogs and should bring tissues, because everybody’s crying—especially Mikey and Randie. For their second EP back, the Chapmans talk about…Groot. The dog clacking in all of the episodes and posing in all of the logos. Their first baby. The soul that made them a family before the human littles entered the world. Why is Groot the focus of this episode? Because after 10 long years, Groot was laid to rest after his year-long battle with Mast Cell Cancer. So to honor him the Chapmans share his origin story, their favorite moments with him, what the end of his life was like, what they would tell anyone parenting a senior dog, and more. Later, having no fight in her, Randie leads the PDA and the couple express gratitude for one another. Tune in and the Chapmans thank you for all of the love.

BMM EP 176: Phew. Glad We Didn't Know That.

My productivity hack https://magicmind.com/RANDIEPD40 Use my code RANDIEPD40 for getting 40% off your subscription (available only for the first 10 orders) . . . In hindsight, there are many things the Chapmans are glad they didn’t know before they got married. And they bet you would agree. Tune in as one of your favorite couples discuss what was worth finding out . . . all after the fact. For Mikey, it’s how deep fatherhood really is. He realizes he was thinking too small when his original goal was to be better than his dad. For Randie, it’s learning that none of their plans mattered. Life lifes, whether you’re good or not. And more. It’s a fun convo with a semi-heated fight or flight that’s about . . . you guessed it. Electricity. God, they’re old. But it’s all love, as always, when the Chapmans show each other some gratitude during their PDA. As always, Randie and Mikey thank you for listening and they hope you enjoy.

Happy I Stumbled Upon This Show

I recently found this show and listened to episode 155. Loved it. Learned so much about myself, and discovered resources I didn’t even know I could have access to. Thank you both for the vulnerability. Looking forward to more
Wish I would have found you sooner

I first heard about your podcast from the collaboration y’all did with Sistas who kill. I am currently listening from the beginning. Just finished episode 25 and loving it. I chose the title wish I would have found you sooner because looking at the year you’ll started this was the year my marriage was taking a turn and I think this podcast would have given us great tools for our marriage. Sadly we are divorced but we are still friends and we both think that it’s for the best. Even though I didn’t find you guys sooner I’m happy I found you now and I’m taking all the notes for my future. Love you guys and can’t wait to be all caught up so I can listen in real time.
