In Chapter 1, Part 2 of Stripped Down: A Naked Memoir, Stacey crosses paths with a sketchy couple who introduce her to the world of featured dancing — a life on the road, city to city, club to club. Drawn in by the promise of adventure, Stacey packs up and heads to Florida with them, where she meets the charming, handsome Lou.

But the glamour doesn't quite match the reality: the club itself is run-down, a first crack in the fantasy of the featured dancer lifestyle.

In this first chapter of Stripped Down: A Naked Memoir, Stacey steps into the world of Houston’s Men’s Club for her first audition—terrified, determined, and unsure what she’s walking into. She learns the ropes fast, discovers how lucrative the work can be, and faces the darker side of the job when a stalker follows her into the night.

This episode explores courage, survival, and the emotional cost of performing power in a world built for men. A raw, honest story for listeners who appreciate women’s memoir, vulnerability, and truth told without apology.

Writer Meryl Baer knows the truth about grandkids: they're adorable, exhausting, and absolutely in charge. In this episode, she shares what really happens when the grandchildren come to visit — 5am wake-ups, food negotiations that would stump the UN, bath-time standoffs, and a diet that consists mainly of ketchup, dipping sauces, and whatever cookies they can find.Does This Happen to You is a storytelling podcast for anyone who's ever laughed at the beautiful chaos of everyday life. New episodes every week.

After all these years, she hadn’t changed a bit. In this episode of Does This Happen to You?, Kris narrates BeBe Nicholson’s hilarious and painfully relatable story about that customer — the one every thrift shop volunteer remembers.

When a woman shows up with a giant bag of returns at the Hobby Lobby store, BeBe can’t shake the feeling she’s seen her before. And then it hits her: years earlier, the same woman tried to return a massive haul of toys because her kids “wouldn’t play with them.” Some people never change, and some return customers are unforgettable.

If you’ve ever worked retail, volunteered in a thrift shop, or dealt with a “customer from hell,” this story will hit home and crack you up.

Recorded in Seattle, WA, this episode blends humor, nostalgia, and the everyday absurdities women navigate with grace (and a deep sigh).

You have lids. So many lids. Lids for pots you no longer own. Lids whose partners disappeared years ago under circumstances you refuse to investigate. Lids you keep because what if. In this episode, we rank them — definitively, ruthlessly, and with the gravity the situation deserves.

Real stories from women, about the small absurdities we all live with but nobody bothers to name. This one's under 10 minutes. The lid situation, however, is eternal.

Jeff is guiding a cycling tour through one of the most celebrated wine regions in the world. His client OMG doesn't drink wine. Jeff soldiers on.

After the dining room disaster of Episode 9, the group retreats to a bar where Grumpy and Mr. Personality generously keep OMG's glass full — of beer, naturally. Because of course. Meanwhile, the nightly room assignment remains unchanged: Grumpy and Mr. Personality share a room because nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to bunk with OMG.

This morning Jeff does his daily room check. He finds the forgotten route sheet. And then he finds something else. Something wrapped. Something that raises more questions than any of them are prepared to answer at 10 am in the Loire Valley.

Jeff may need to start drinking. The wine, obviously. He's surrounded by it. Does this happen to you?

A true travel misadventure series where one man turns France into a full‑time disaster. Leave it to OMG to turn a quiet French dinner into a full‑scale incident in Episode 9.

First, he burns his hand, then eats his rabbit with the other hand like it’s totally normal. He refuses the bread basket (in France, no less), and somehow ends the night at a Loire Valley light show drinking beer with a group of Canadians… while eating a day‑old croissant, which is not bread, right?

If you love travel comedy, French mishaps, cycling adventures, or stories where everything goes sideways for no reason, this episode is for you.

From your favorite cycling guide, Jeff, where dinner with his clients can become a survival sport.
