Published: Jan. 6, 2021, 1 a.m.

I am your host Guru Brando and I have 2 curious guests with me tonight, Beth & Q! We are an odd kinda family with 7 members in 1 crazy old home.  A new year, new hats and a new season of entertainment just for you. Start 2021 off real proper like with new friends and a fresh perspective on some of life's challenges. You don't know what you don't know.   Meet our family: Grandpa Fred who is a healthy 78 year old woodworking genius is Guru Brando's father. Guru Brando is a 44 year old life coach with OCD that runs a holistic practice. His wife, Beth, also 44 is a writer and Army Veteran living with the challenges of PTSD and Brando's quirks. Q is a 17 year old who struggles with Asperger's Syndrome and his multitude of siblings. He is the oldest and most likely to eat all your food. His only sister is Alex, 16 and driving. Creativity is her bag baby, and anxiety is her biggest issue at the moment... along with her nemesis, Lucas, the next kid in line. Lucas is 11 and always gets shafted, true story. He is the sweetest soul and busiest thinker. He is totally gonna be an engineer and take his little brother on all kinds of adventures. That brother is Oliver. He is 9 and had a rough start to life, but is now ripping up the roads on his bike. He has challenges with his speech and was given a diagnosis of Autism when he was 18 months old. I Guru Brando, gave birth to Oliver on my 35th birthday at 35 weeks in Germany.

I gave birth to all 4 of our kids and Beth helped...lol. I am a transman and Beth is a transwoman. I started my transition over 6 years ago. She started her transition almost 3 years ago. We have been married 18 years and friends since 1990. We both always knew who we were and have had the privilege to experience that life together. As parents, we do the best we can with what we have learned and always seek insight.

Join our conversation about what normal is as we talk about our favorite movies and tv shows. Laugh a little and learn a lot about people you didn't know you wanted to know. Prepare for 4th wall breaks and notes to take. Expect tangents, and moments where Q gets the upper hand. We talk storylines, VHS splicing, and Q's inability to hit his mark with a crossbow and a nickel.
