  • 12. OCD - Intrusive Thoughts & Rituals

    Angelica tells us all about her struggles with OCD. It’s not just wanting things to be perfect or just wanting to have control. It can be a life-altering condition for some. We talk about when it started and where we think it could have originated. Listen in because there are things about OCD that some people would never know. Also we lost some microphoned audio on this one so apologies for the quality on the ladder end of this episode!

  • 11. Millennial Nostalgia

    Y'all voted for it and we delivered! From Myspace feels to Hot Topic to old songs, we talk nostalgia from our POV. We also play Cards Against Humanity and poorly attempt to use country accents! This episode gets chaotic and you are in for a good laugh. Once we start playing CAH, you may want to put head phones in because we get pretty NSFW.

    1 hr 13 min
  • 10. Story Time & Chill; Unpopular Opinions

    From wedding talk, to injured fingers, Angelica has some of her busy life to tell us about. If you find it funny when we trip over our words, you'll love this one. We struggle with English idioms and grammar all the way through to the end of the Hot Takes game we played. Join us for a good laugh!


    Trigger Warning: Angelica's very first story involves an injury to her finger in which she goes into detail about.

  • Bonus - The Missing Submersible
    Come listen to two big dumb idiots talk about the missing submarine event that took place Sunday, June 18th, 2023. We talk facts, speculation, and more. Our hearts go out to the families of the deceased. Disclaimer: Not everything in this episode is 100% factual. In fact, we get a few things wrong. But hey, enjoy anyways!

  • 09. First Generation American - Child of Immigrant Parents

    We have our first ever guest! Brian and Angelica recount their experiences as children growing up in America with parents who were immigrants. From language barriers to emotional unavailability to not feeling American enough, we cover a ton on this topic. Brian also brought us a dialect game to play and we had a blast! And surprise...WE ARE ON YOUTUBE!

This is a heavy topic so take care when listening and check the trigger warnings. Stay safe besties.

  • 07. AAPI Heritage & Jewish Heritage Month

    Join us while Kelsi and Angelica report history and culture in the most chopped up, chaotic way. With comedic relief sprinkled in. After we show how much the American public school system failed us, we play “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader” to prove it some more! Enjoy our struggles and strong opinions!

    Mentions of Holocaust

    War

    Racism

  • 06. Chisme Sesh

    Chisme is Spanish for "gossip" and that is exactly what you can expect from this episode. We spilled the tea brewed on Reddit and even told some of our own stories. Join us for a good time while we do some more judging and reacting to other people's drama! We also played Two Truths and a Lie. Which is hard to do with two people who have spent 20 years of life together already. Stick around for the last story though because it's some scolding HOT tea!


    Trigger Warnings:

    Story of injury involving a toothpick and mentions of blood ending at the 20 minute mark. There is an audible warning right before the story starts.

    1 hr 24 min
  • 05. ADHD - Motivation is not the issue.
    ADHD is invisible for some people. It's inattentive ADHD and Kelsi is going to tell you and Angelica all about it. Even if you can't relate with executive dysfunction or being a major space cadet, there are still talks of self-compassion, societal standards, and morality you may not know you need to hear. Maybe someone you know struggles with ADHD. Understanding it is so helpful. Also, Angelica sings a little riff for us!

  • 04. AITAH? - Momster Edition
    We love to read about other people's drama. So we're bringing it to you. This one is for the bad moms and crazy mother-in-laws. Listen with us while we judge people we don't know for their choices. And laugh at us while we struggle to read like we're in the second grade. And as always, a quote of the week and 4 Q&A's!
    Trigger warnings:
    One AITAH story is about a sex offender and sexual assault is mention a couple times throughout the episode.
    We also talk about periods for a few minutes between stories, but related to a story.
