Bubbles & Bullshit

On this week's That's What We Said Podcast, Jen and Nicole dive into all things "odd person" out in exactly what it means to be the third wheel. While a google search on the definition of the word calls the third wheel "unnecessary" the podcast duo completely disagree with that statement. From weddings to dinner dates and horror stories - there is no stone left unturned as they discuss #thirdwheellife. Before diving into all things third wheel, they also chat through what has them entertained.  Nicole kicks off the podcast with a public service announcement for all those travelers out there who want to rent a house somewhere this summer, do not use VRBO or Airbnb. The hosts can cancel your reservation without any repercussions, leaving you, friends and family stranded.  This happened to Nicole's family vacation and encourages all potential renters to beware. In addition to Nicole's rant, they chat NFL schedule, surprise weddings and everything pop culture in the last week. 

There's nothing more gratifying than getting out of your comfort zone and absolutely killing it.  In this week's That's What We Said episode, Jennifer and Nicole go into what it takes to get them out of their comfort zones.  Hello, this podcast for starters. From career pivots and relationships to the bedroom (okay, maybe not the bedroom) they give their listeners some helpful tips on how to embrace your inner badass and do things that at surface level seem a bit scary.  Before they dive all into what it takes to get outside the zone, the two chat on Bennifer (is it real?), the latest Southern Charm shenanigans, Tebow's return and the fact that the Southeast is out of gas...and its ridiculous. 

In this week's That's What We Said Podcast, Jen and Nicole chat through having patience. All of America seems to be on edge and patience at a minimum.  Whether dealing with lines at the grocery store, your friends and family, or even waiters and waitresses, sometimes it's really challenging to have patience in life. At times everything can be annoying. The two also go through tips and tricks on when to breathe, take a minute....and relax.  

In normal podcast fashion, the two kick start their chat with a download on the NFL Draft, the upcoming Siesta Key and The Hills (hello, Brody) TV premieres and wish their Moms, Friends and Family a Happy Mother's Day. 

In this week's That's What We Said Podcast, Jen and Nicole take to the beach as they get out of their bubbles for the first time to explore the sandy beaches of Florida. The trip was full of bizarre encounters from a doctor juggling multiple women, a very pretentious woman bossing waiters around on the beach and a few signs that getting hitched may not be as exciting as they think.

Before they get into all their beach extravaganzas the two chat through all the make-outs and break-ups in Hollywood. From Jana Kramer and Khloe Kardashian infidelity rumors to Kourtney Kardashian who can't keep her hands (and ass) off her new beau Travis Barker, there was a lot to talk about as it pertains what's meant to be. They wrap up their culture updates with a few football rumors, will he or won't he stay in Green Bay.  All this and more on the That's What We Said podcast. 

There's nothing worse than scrolling through IG and realizing everyone looks the same. Literally everyone. On the heels of the Khloe Kardashian photo leak, this week on the That's What We Said Podcast, Jen and Nicole dive into why they sometimes filter their images, why society as a whole filters their images....and most importantly why everyone should just stop.  It's a rabbit hole of craziness of the wildly different images that supposedly depict real life. Fun Instagram handles @celebface, @s0cialmediavsreality and @instavsreality really showcase the perils of why a camera angles, lighting or a filter can really do wonders. 

Before diving into all things filtered, the podcast duo chat about the hectic week of pop culture news, J-Rod is officially done, Alex "Comeback Kid" Smith has retired, Colton Underwood has come out and Siesta Key and The Hills are both coming back. Still nothing but animals from Jay Cutler, but the two still have a few laughs, unfortunately, this week it is at Nicole's expense and her "week". Listen to hear these things and more. 

Life knows no bounds, so in this week's That's What We Said Podcast, Jen and Nicole dissect all the things related to setting boundaries at work and with friends and family. A critical part of boundary setting is communicating - but how do you tell your mom that you are having a person of interest over? Or, how do you tell one of your besties that  don't really like going to breweries or that fancy whiskey spot? It's not easy and some times not fun. Jen and Nicole talk about how they navigate all this in a world that demands so much, especially when one is a people pleaser. 

Before getting into the boundaries they lack, they discuss all things going on in this crazy world. Who was Madison from Bravo's Southern Charm seen kissing? Is Real Housewives of Nashville a thing? Why isn't Jay Cutler doing anything fun? Are Aaron and Shailene really this cute?  And last, but certainly not least, everyone should take a second to listen to the 10 Questions with Kyle Brandt episode with Josh Allen. #BillsMafia 

In the latest edition of the That's What We Said podcast, Jen and Nicole throwback a few cocktails for their regular "Cocktails with Coco and Knoeppel" feature. The two give a series of tips and tricks for spring and summer cocktails, including ways to enhance your traditional mimosa.  No need to stick with only OJ friends. In addition, they go into their rapid-fire "Cocktail Confessionals" where the two divulge all their secrets. What movie resembles their real lives? Most irrational fears? They give honest answers, no filters necessary. Jen even plays a good game of (FMK - F@#$, Marry, Kill) with some of her favorite football players and reality TV stars. Before they get into all that, they give updates on NFL happenings, Aaron Rodgers as a Jeopardy host and their thoughts on Netflix's "Who Killed Sara?" 

There's never a dull moment in the lives of the That's What We Said Podcast hosts Jen and Nicole, that's why this week they take on society's obsession with planning everything. From their single friends who share all their brunch and activities on Instagram to their parent friends who have their kids going non stop, no one wants to admit they have nothing going on. In reality, the best days are the most spontaneous days. In addition to tips and tricks on how to avoid over planning, Jen and Nicole chat through the new NFL schedule, their hopes to return to football games this fall and their love of the guys from Southern Charm. Nicole has been on a binge listening to both Shep Rose's Average Expectations book, along with Austin and Craig's Pillows and Beer Podcast.  Cutler's Cuts has officially...been cut from this podcast until further notice. 

SPECIAL EDITION PODCAST HERE! This week on the "That's What We Said Podcast," Jen and Nicole interview one of their male friends Casey, who is also in his late 30s and single.   It's a fun conversation as the threesome (get your head out of the gutter) chat through all things dating as a dude. Did you know that if a guy texts you to check in after not hearing from him for weeks he is probably just bored? Casey has all the tips on his dating philosophy and it's much different than the podcast duo.  Let's start with the fact that he puts a time limit on first dates. Does it work or does it end in disaster? Listen to find out.

Before the group gets into the "dirty" aka dating 101 they talk about Casey's travels. They are fun, different and something that everyone should try once in their lives. He finds the most interesting places from the Mystery Lights in Texas to the UFO Welcome Center in Bowman, SC and sometimes sleeps on top of his car (in a tent of course).  They end the Podcast with Casey putting a pretty aggressive challenge to his two single female friends - get yourselves out there.  To find out about that and more, tune into this week's most unfiltered version (albeit pretty funny) edition of the TWWS Podcast. Follow the group: @jennieannknoeppel, @nicole_anastasi and @caseysworldtour. 

365 Days. It has been 365 days of mask wearing, hand sanitizing and social distancing. Jen and Nicole reflect on all that has changed throughout the last COVID year in this week's That's What We Said Podcast.  While they both consider the peak of their year starting their podcast, there has been countless of things that are so different that they know their old ways of life will never again be a normal routine. Conference calls are weird, PDA in crowded bars makes Nicole's skin crawl and Jen doesn't know if going back to the office every day will ever again be a thing. Tune in to listen to their take on how things have changed, along with their usual pop culture updates. Can celebs stop breaking up (not breaking up?)? Please?
