Parenting advice says “stay calm, use your gentle voice”… yeah, okay Susan. This week, Angie and Alex are taking a wild ride on the parenting crazy train — no quiet cars allowed! From reliving the toddler meltdowns to teenage side-eye, we’re breaking down the myth of “peaceful parenting” and laughing our way through the chaos.

Because sometimes, the best parenting moments happen when you’re two seconds from losing it — and that’s perfectly okay.

🚂 Buckle up, grab your cold coffee, tequila or whatever, and come laugh with us as we remind every mom and dad out there: you’re not failing, you’re just on the express route to survival.

Life’s messy, but getting organized doesn’t have to be perfect. In Part 2 of Organized Chaos, Angie challenges you to pick just one task this week, commit to it, and see what happens. Will it feel awkward? Will people call you “feral” for standing your ground? Good. Embrace it. Because progress doesn’t start with perfection—it starts with one small step.

Life doesn’t stop just because you’re trying to keep it together — and neither do I. In this episode of HotRod Mess, I take you along in the Escalade while running errands and share my personal technique for holding my chaos together.

This isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding rhythms, hacks, and little systems that make the day flow when everything (and everyone) is pulling in different directions. Think of it as real-world organization for real-world mess.

If you’ve ever felt like your life is a mix of schedules, family, and constant “on-the-go,” this one’s for you.

👉 Tune in to hear how I manage to keep the HotRod Mess rolling — with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of reality.

Modern dating in 2025 is a dumpster fire — and we’re roasting marshmallows in it. This week, Alex (newly divorced and not holding back) shares her wild ride back into the dating pool. From the man who brought his emotions on a first date, to the guy who listed his ex-wife as a reference — the red flags are practically neon. Why do we keep ignoring the signs? Why are "shaggas" suddenly a whole category? And most importantly… how do we stop mistaking 🚩s for romantic potential? Grab your wine, your group chat receipts, and your sense of humor — this is one for the girls who deserve better. #dating #redflags

Recorded straight from the cab of my tow truck, this episode dives deep into the real struggles content creators face when it comes to getting support — from friends, followers, and even ourselves. I talk about the emotional grind behind the grind, why support matters, and how to keep going when it feels like no one’s in your corner. It’s raw, honest, a little messy, and yes — we still have fun.

Buckle up, babes—this HotRod Mess episode is serving chaos, cocktails, and confessions. Angie dives headfirst into the wild world of dating while married (yep, that’s a thing… just wait for the steak analogy ) and compares it to the circus act that is single dating in 2025. From husbands who feel like filet mignon to dating apps that feel more like gas station beef jerky, this episode is messy, honest, and laugh-out-loud real.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the grass is greener—or just full of weeds—this one’s for you. Grab your heels, grab your hot rod, and let’s get messy. #dating #married

This week on HotRodMess, Mom lays it all out — what it’s really like to juggle being a badass, a wife, and a business co-owner while still trying to keep the family circus from burning down. From the struggles of chasing the next chapter in life to the victories that make it all worth it, she’s keeping it real with humor and grit. Oh, and just when things couldn’t get messier, Small decides to take a nap on the sheet machine…leaving Dad dangling helplessly in midair until Mom comes to the rescue (because of course she does). It’s chaos, comedy, and car grease — just another day in the HotRodMess.

But instead of fading out, Stephanie cranked the volume on her own life. In this episode of HotRodMess, she shares how she rebuilt from scratch, embraced her power, and became the fearless, women-owned badass she is today.

💬 Resilience. Reinvention. Raw truth.

🚗💨 Buckle up—this ride’s inspiring and unapologetic.

He wore the badge by day and chased horsepower by night — and yes, Mac gave out speeding tickets even though he had the fastest car in the lot. In this episode, we salute the man who could arrest you at 3 and do burnouts by 5. Mac wasn’t just a cop; he was a gearhead legend, a loyal friend, and the only guy who could quote Miranda rights while talking cars.

We’re telling stories, sharing laughs, and maybe shedding a tear or two (but we’ll blame it on the exhaust fumes). A celebration of a life that was always full throttle — this one’s for you, Mac.
