The Nervous Record

Amanda’s new medication has taken away her ability to cry, Nate’s housemate is afraid of burglars, and Leah rents a pontoon boat in effort to save her relationship from springing a long-distance leak. Also, a special message about what’s next for The Nervous Record.

On this anxiously awaited episode, Amanda gives Leah a going away gift larger than Leah’s vocabulary – a giant grape Blow Pop. Nervous about her move to Cleveland, Leah stress eats half a cake while the ladies share some food-related foibles.

Ever have a moment in your life so weird that maybe you hallucinated it? Leah does at least once a week! She and Amanda share stories of car troubles turned creepy in this week’s episode. Also, the girls whip up a perfect recipe on how to sext from the kitchen.

This mini-episode takes us back to July 2017, before The Nervous Record was the well-oiled machine it is today. In their inaugural recording Amanda and Leah get things up and running.

Body talk turns body balk as we discuss ‘body positive’ advertising directed towards women. Leah suspects the whereabouts of Edward Snowden. And the latest news about girdles!

Things get crazy when Amanda wakes up next to a topless woman in bed. Also, Leah talks solstice rituals and the psychology behind why monkeys like porn.

Lots of crazy things go on in Leah’s head–but a moth dying in her ear canal definitely takes the cake. For it’s 3rd anniversary, Leah recounts the night she survived a jungle nightmare without tweezers or valium. Also, Amanda and Cordelia celebrate Pride Month.

Cleveland rocks the metaphorical boat of Leah’s relationship. Nate calls in and loses Amanda’s trust when he says he doesn’t like tv shows with “strong female leads.”  Leah explains why she’s banned from SeaWorld.

Break out the vodka and/or grape juice. The Nervous Record gets graphic on the anniversary of Leah’s failed marriage. Murder! Animal Testing! Sex jargon! Pre-teen angst! Guess which one of those subjects makes Amanda cry… Warning: This episode contains explicit content and spoilers for The Staircase on Netflix.

Cat People and People Cats – love them or hate them, cats are ambivalent about you. No animals were harmed during the making of this episode.

Leah unintentionally dishes out beauty secrets, foreplay tactics,  and recipes in this Cosmo-magazine-worthy episode! Meanwhile, Amanda pays homage to everyone who’s died in the last 15 years.

Inventors, patriots, drunks and a rodeo clown– this minisode presents a brief history of Amanda and Leah’s forbears. Also, Leah clears up some confusion about the Quran.

Reiki, Yoga, SEDONA – Leah and Amanda discuss their lack of knowledge of the “New Age” but how Leah tries it all blindly to get guys in her car.

Leah’s anxiety in social situations is all or nothing: all crazy, and nothing normal. In this episode we talk parties, salutations, and the weird places Leah puts essential oils to loosen herself up.

Crocodiles, snakes, and Carrot Top – we talk phobias and consult Nate to figure out who has the weirdest fear.

Leah shares weird things she does post-coital and what she really wanted for Valentine’s Day, and Amanda tells her which of these things is NOT okay.

Childhood fantasies and lies: What did our Barbies talk about? Did Leah meet Michael Jordan when he was playing for the Chicago Bulls? Does she know what basketball is?

Brazilian waxes, the Women’s March, Cat Fights. Leah is learning that growing up in your 30’s is painful.

Smoking, grits, nature – even when we try to do it right, things go wrong. Speaking of things going wrong, Leah explains to Amanda how her organs got stuck together.

Divorce. Disease. Demon Parrots. The filterless conversation flies against the wind (or too close to the flame?)  in this episode. We face mortality with a bucket list.
