This episode was somewhat of an accident We don't always know what our triggers are but over the last few years, when they've been activated, we decide to lean in and ask questions to understand ourselves and each other better. Because this was an impromptu episode, this isn't a deep dive into BPD or an episode with any resources. This may be something we revisit in the future, but for now please enjoy two life long best friends trying to understand wtf is going on. Learn more about your ad choices.

Morning, sleepyhead! If you've been living on an island for 100 years, you may not know that a little thing called Epic the Musical exists in the world as a concept album and has reignited our interest in greek mythology.

On the journey to self discovery, we felt it important to take up an hour over everyone's time deep diving into some of the most insane storylines displayed on daytime television.

Valentine's day is the perfect time for us to bring out another fan favorite submission episode. Ho-rror stories just may be the OG "we listen and we don't judge." While we may not be judging, we are learning and we are doing better. We are still accepting $250 from that guy who disappeared one day to become a cowboy, though. That's not going to change.

Groundhog's Day has been a special day in our family for 32 years as it happens to be the day Ciara became a big sister (Happy Birthday, TayTay!) On today's episode, we decided to finally find out why the rest of the world makes such a big deal out of February 2nd. Turns out, it's way more fun than we thought. You may know about Phil, but are you aware of his knob or his rival Trash Heap Chuck? Ok, that's not his name, but he is Phil's rival and for that reason alone we've got beef with him.

Thanks to the big brain work of women in Italy, quick trip to the apothecary is all you need to purchase your freedom from a life as property, I mean holy matrimony.

We had so much fun reflecting on what the internet had predicted for our 2024 that we decided it was only fitting to see what the stars and algorithms believe are in store for us for 2025. It may come as surprise to absolutely no one that the universe and co-star agree, everything's coming up CiCi and Jeri will have to endure more self inflicted chaos. One of us is vehemently rejecting their predictions and the other is Ciara.

Our longest running tradish strikes again. Before 2024 breathes its last breath and 2025 kool-aid man's in to blow our backs out, we invite you to pause with us in the inbetween. There's so much to reflect on when the jump from '23 to '24 was this aggressive.

There's a very good chance that the traditions shared in this episode have been covered in years past. Luckily for the two idiots on the couch, our minds resemble those of gold fish and we often forget what we've discussed on here. Luckily part two for us, Ciara did remember just how much we loved a middle school band concert and brought us a little treat to enjoy at the beginning of the episode. We hope you all are enjoying a gentle and intentional holiday season with people, animals, books, shows and blankets that bring you joy. Merry everything from our corner of the internet to you! -Jeri & Ciara

The title of this episode is somewhat misleading- not the so poopy so dead part, that's actually bizarrely accurate but if you're having trouble figuring out how those things connect to the holidays, know you're not alone. Ciara typed *christmas* into the email search bar and for whatever reason, death was a central theme. While poop wasn't mentioned as much, it still is our podcast so there's no world where we don't have a poop story correlate with whatever word we type into the search bar. When we do scandal episodes, it is hard to write a description because you all know what is going down so instead of being a thorough explainer, I thought I'd share some alternative title options: -I love bulldogs, I love bubba Gump, I love being by myself -Spade and Neuter your sisters or whatever Bob Barker said -I think I chemical burned my puss puss -Stay tuned to see who my aunt gives grandma to for Christmas and finally -I gotta get out of here and bleed onto something You're welcome for the continued lack of context, out of pocket eppy quotes.

It isn't often that a meme works it's way into everyday vernacular, but once in a while, when all the stars align, iconic phenomena such as The Florida Man becomes a universally known marvel. Without any context at all, you've already created an image in your head and it is an unhinged one at that. We've found some top tier Florida Man/Woman stories that are sure to reinforce that picture you've just created and as a bonus, we threw in some additional holiday hoopla from states outside of Florida, because let's be so ffr...America is just one big Florida.

Something has changed within us, something is not the same…that’s right. We’re not regular ladies anymore, we’re wicked women. Somehow we remained completely oblivious to the storyline of the musical for the entire 30 years of its existence and now, much like everyone else who has entered the universe of Oz, it is now our entire personality. Hangout while we deep dive into the history of one of the most beloved broadway musicals of all time.

If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to work while experiencing global agony. I don't think this is what Darwin meant when he studied survival. The bar for the "fittest" is looking pretty low and pretty frozen these days.

It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.

Since we have 4 more years of yelling into the abyss, we're assuming you won't mind if we go ahead and take the first 30 minutes to do a mental health check in before diving into an incredibly thorough DYSBT google doc. As much as we want to be all peepee, poopoo, hehe, haha- as people, we're not ready yet and we know some of you aren't yet either. So let's sit in those feelings for just a little bit and then let's listen to the out of context quotes that somehow didn't cancel us before today. Shoutout to our listener M (I actually don't know if I can share your name so lmk and I'll update it lol) for procrastinating on their paper and allowing us to rot for today's episode.

Regardless of when you listen, the day this episode goes live is election day and it isn't just any election day. Today is a day that could go down in history as the first time that the United States of America elect a woman into its highest office in the land. As we know, she isn't the first woman to run for president, but I think what might shock some of us is learning exactly when the first female was nominated to run for President of the United states. Would your shock reach new levels to know that it was during a time when she couldn't even vote herself? We're sharing the incredible herstory of Victoria Woodhull, the first female to run for president of the united states in the 1850's. You read that right - almost 200 years ago and we're still out here wait for that first Madam. Whether it is made today or another 200 years from now, history is happening and it is SO important to make your voice known. Make a plan and get out and VOTE!

On this exact day, 5 years ago, we nervously hit launch on an episode titled "Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - The Salem Witch Trials," and our lives were changed forever. We always said that we would continue the podcast as long as it brought us joy, but we certainly didn't know just how much joy it would bring us. For half a decade, this hobby turned job turned passion has brought us across the country in front of thousands of our friends. It was given us opportunities to see and do things that we couldn't have ever even dreamed possible. We're forever grateful to the two nervous ladies who sat in their comfy pants one fall evening and hit record. We're grateful they hit upload and that they continued to show up week after week for themselves and now for you. You guessed it- those ladies were us. Now those ladies are struggling to continue talking in the third person, so to close out, we want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for the most incredibly fulfilling life. Thank you for the encouragement and the support, the grace and the love. Thank you for the friendship with and without interaction. As much as this is an opportunity to celebrate how far we've come, we hope you all will take moment to reflect on your own journey. Celebrate the growth and changes that you've made. Celebrate the parts of you that got you here as much as the parts you put to rest along the way. We're so proud of you. This anniversary is as much for you as it is for us, CHEERS TO 5 YEARS!

If you’ve ever considered making an episode a drinking game, let it be this one. We made it easy by spontaneously going down an astrology wormhole and repeatedly said the word astrocartography. We said it so much that it doesn’t feel like a real word. It also may not be a real word according to the red squiggly line that’s currently under it. Once we finished flirting with our AI spiritual guide, we cracked open a new game called Tell Me Without Telling Me and did our best to try to make cards that were labeled NSFW, SFW. Spoiler alert, we failed. It was still very much NSFW.

We can't confirm, but we may have set a new record with this episode. Our first full week home after tour proved to be full of life, laughter and October lagers and because of that, it took us approximately 60 minutes to get to the actual topic of this episode. We may be biased, but the first 60 are definitely worth the listen, so if you're a "skip ahead to the point" kind of listener...well, in the words of our pop princess Sabrina Carpenter, "just don't."

After being lowkey bullied on tour during meet and greets about taking a break, we succumbed to peer pressure and did not record a new episode for this week. We are unable to fully skip, so our compromise is piecing together patreon episodes from this year for you to enjoy. Shit gets weird after dark... Truly thank you for being so supportive and thoughtful. You never let us forget that we're humans who deserve rest and we don't take that for granted.

We've been called vulnerable for almost 5 years now, and for 5 years, we've said thank you and nodded like we understood what that really meant. Another word that also falls into the "just nod and smile" category? Resilience. Two weeks ago we had a conversation online that we all agreed should have been an off camera moment, however the response we received led us here to an episode we've wanted to do for years.

In true ladies and tangents fashion, it takes us almost 10 minutes to even say hello to all of you, but after that - we are off to the races sharing secrets you sent in! We asked for confessions, and you delivered. We shouldn't be surprised though that somehow our audience found a way to make even confessions, at times, wholesome af.

What started as a fun fact, became an internet deep dive. We learned that there is such a thing as illegal names and the rest is history. It turns out that there are things you can name your dog that you simply cannot name a baby in America, as well as multiple other countries around the world.
