And That’s A Yap Podcast

Today’s yap is centered around one of our birthday girl - Courteney’s fav things- Christmas!  Is there such thing as decorating too early for Christmas? Are you team Christmas vacation or Home Alone?? We piggy back off Jennifer Lawrence’s unfiltered interview on Call Her Daddy about how self talk presents itself in motherhood and how moms pay it forward with their “mom radar”. Although Halloween is over and Christmas is in full swing- we can’t forget to give our personal interpretations on Taylor Frankie Paul’s Halloween costume as well as our opinions on “Halloween ettiquette”. Our Dark And Twisty convo this week is centered around the social media conversation about our country going “off the grid” within the next few days & how national fear hits different as a mother. Are we letting our thoughts get the best of us or would you call us prepared?? Darby comes clean with her biggest fear. The horrors of day light savings time change are discussed and our giveaway winner is announced! Come yap with us and stay awhile!!🫶🏻

New name, Same yap. We give you the inside scoop on our decision to rebrand and change our name. Inside scoop is where we stayed and landed on this episode- we dove deep into our own personal experiences as moms, working vs staying at home and our own intrusive thoughts (in honor of OCD Awareness Month). Courteney shared her expertise as a “bravolebrity” with a short crash course on what shows you need to watch first if you’re new to reality television. How do we cope when our kids are rejected by their first crush? How do we recover from Tyler Cameron on Dedication Night? Grab your wine, your coffee or whatever gets you through your day bc it’s time to catch up. 

After two weeks off we have a lot to yap about and yes, we go rouge. First off- who is in charge of spirit week at school? And how do we fix these themes?? Are y’all team family costume for Halloween or do you follow your kid’s lead? We answer our weekly poll  - how do you navigate a preferred parent obstacle?  (Coffees on us). Do your kids call your besties their aunts? What happened to letting kids be kids and letting 4 year olds enjoy their sport without a scout?? Wrapping out with our heated opinion about Val’s suspension from DWTS. 

Oh boy, buckle up- this week we’re covering the good, the bad, and the dark & twisty 😂 From why road trips with kids are quite simply not fun- is this when the iPad fairy comes to town?? To our celebrity crushes (yes we have a type), plus sharing your responses of the one thing you’d never do again- skinny jeans- nuff said. 

Then we’re going down the dark and twisty rabbit hole with the death of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s boyfriend, Jessi Draper recent backlash, and the Cornell 7, before hearing a listener’s Mom Court case that actually made it to trial! ⚖️

And of course, we’ve got your Dancing with the Stars score update to wrap it all up. Buckle up—it’s a little motherhood, a little pop culture, a little true crime, and a LOT unsaid

We are on a roll today yall!

We switched it up in mom court and decided to put the dads on trial and since we were on the topic of dads we went ahead and shared our icks, social media pressures and dare we say punishments?? We attempted to answer the million dollar question: when do you know you’re done having kids? While also putting our foot down on kid friendly events. At what point do we put our adult children at a disservice? When is it time to let go? Do girl moms and boy moms have a different experience? We hit it all. While also introducing True Crime Thursday and posing a difficult question regarding the Theo Sabo Case- at what point does an accident become a crime? And drum roll!!! Is Team Courtini or Team Double D Team in the lead as we take on Week 3 of DWTS!! 

We start by checking in on our Dancing With The Stars Teams and share who we think will be going home this week. Followed by how mom guilt looks different on everybody. 

Of course we had to give our opinions on the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, ranking them from bad to worse because are any of them saints?

Darby goes to Mom Court - who knew hitting snooze would be a crime?

Then we pose the question: if your partner goes on a bachelor party/solo trip on your birthday weekend, do you let him?

We wrap up with insight into the 60 minutes Patrick Clancy interview

We kicked off this episode with a margarita to celebrate 1 month of podcasting and in honor of the release of Practical Magic 2.  Believe it or not, Court has never watched the first one! 

We covered parenting hardships including night terrors and when is it time to fire your babysitter? You shared the worst advice you’ve ever received and we said it. Let’s all agree that telling someone to calm down, is in fact, the fastest way to make them do the exact opposite?! 

One of our favorite shows is back this week!! Dancing with the Stars. Tonight we drafted our individual teams - Team Courtini vs Team Double D, while choosing our favorite pairings one by one and sharing our first impressions. Who’s the under dog? Who’s easy on the eyes? And who’s getting that mirror ball season 35 trophy?? Only time will tell. 

We wrap this week’s episode up with another Mom Court. Is rage texting during witching hour a crime?!

This week we realized Patrick carries a lot of the tasks in Courts household! Do people follow traditional “pink” and “blue” household tasks or are we finding a modern approach to share the load? Traditional with a modern twist as we say?!

Then we dive into The Pastors Wife Netflix documentary and the conversations it sparked about abusive relationships and crooked pastors. 

We asked you the hills you would die on which led us to contemplating emailing Doritos headquarters and picking sides: Blake Shelton or Miranda Lambert. 

Plus, we gave our very honest opinion on the cast of Earle Meets World and realized who’s team Alix or Alex. 

And of course, we’re taking another case to Mom Court: Guilty or Not Guilty? Because sometimes motherhood requires a judge, a jury, and a glass of wine. And Darby is looking a little guilty! 

Welcome back!! It’s episode 2 where our very own Court goes to Mom Court- is she guilty or not guilty? Darby will decide. Have yall heard of Oreo gate? No worries, we are here to explain that for you. Are you that mom? Or an almond mom for that matter? Discussing that too. We are waiting on pins and needles to hear the jury’s verdict on the Lindsay Clancy trial and we can’t help but share some of the wild speculations out there on this case. We can’t end the episode without paying tribute to the ICON- Dolly Parton. While wrapping it all up with a nice, pretty & unhinged bow that is sharing y’all’s thoughts out loud from our instagram question box!

In this week's episode we dive deep, and we mean deep into the minds of Lindsay Clancy and Hayden Panitierre and post partum illness. Did we just say out loud what we all may be thinking? We definitely did this week, with our very own ‘Mom Court and You Thought It, We Said It’. Ending with a BANG (you’ll hear) while discussing Darby’s intrusive thought since her oldest started preschool.
