A convo about control turned into a revelation that nothing has been the same since Noble. Even 6 years later. Tune in as Mikey and Randie reveal what has changed about them for better or for worse since their son died. Because grief. Because this is real life. Because earth is hell or ghetto or whatever Jesus said.

Later, the Chapmans discuss what their convo has taught them about one another, and to cleanse the palate Randie brings a fight or flight about how Mikey is always instigating between her and Drew.

Still it’s all love, when they show each other some QUICK PDA because the Knicks won and they found out at the end of their recording. Putting D’Angelo’s lyrics in “Nothing Even Matters” to the test.

As always Randie and Mikey love y’all and appreciate your continued support through the years!

(After Model Home by Rivers Solomon and Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in her Head by Warsan Shire)

Hey y’all,

While Mike was in Guyana for the first time since 2001, Randie’s feelings caught up to her. Tune in as she reveals the real about going No Contact with her family. Brought on by a convo with Drew and the propaganda about No Contact being, “trendy” Randie tells you the truth.

No Contact is the bottom. The last resort. Because in the words of Warsan Shire, “No one would leave home unless home chased you.”

Who would self-orphan themselves for shits and giggles? Not Ran. Not many people, actually. While one of the best decision she’s made for herself, No Contact has left Randie achy and on many days full of grief.

So, in this Indie, the shorter half of the BMM podcast invites you to learn what sovereignty of self and freedom has cost and required of her and other Adult Children making the hard decisions to live a life of integrity and courage.

Hey y’all!

Tune in for what is probably the most unhinged (and most fun) episode ever recorded on the BMM podcast because this one is featuring Drewbie Drew.

Similar to the Chapman’s relationship check-ins, Mikey and Randie interview Drew and ask her to rate them with: thumbs up, middle, or thumbs down on safety, fun, communication, love/connection, and baby Rey.

The episode takes many turns (LOL) as the couple discover what Drew really thinks of their parenting and shenanigans.

In all, interviewing 7 year olds ain’t for the weak! Still, it’s a lot of fun and they hope you ask the kids in your life these questions and they hope you enjoy.
