The Side Chat episodes:

February 19, 2025 High Low
*Before you start the next episode, we highly encourage all registered Side Chicks to familiarize yourself with our customs: 1.) Always wear sensible shoes but most especially when violently expressing yourself on the dancefloor. 2.) Baby sprinkle registries will heretofore be known as glorified wishlists. 3.) All strong opinions are loosely held and subject to change without warning at any time.

It's episode 2 and the ladies of The Side Chat are emotionally, spiritually, and quite literally hungover as they return from the glorious girls trip that was Trish's 40th birthday. The gals do their best to recall the whirlwind weekend of events including high/low outfits, the return of the Rot Day, and why we may or may not be welcome back at Bubba's Sulky Lounge for the indefinite future. Despite insisting she owes us NOTHING, Krissy then provides another incredible SIDE CHAT about baby sprinkle registries–and let's just say etiquette lessons are back in session and the girls are coming for Emily Post's NECK.

February 12, 2025 La Marcia
Welcome to Season 2 of The Side Chat, side chicks! We're happy to report we've been renewed for another season (by us) and to celebrate, we're joined by a surprise (even for Krissy and Trish!) special guest for the first time ever on the pod. After a few too many flutes of prosecco and some fearless feedback (or is it Radical Candor?), our guest proves that her boots are made for walkin' all over the SIDE CHAT SEGUE STING as the ladies transition over to this week's Side Chat all about newborn etiquette–and why you should never show up to a new baby visit without food (if you want to live).

February 05, 2025 Feeling 22
It's the season finale, side chicks! The gals close this season with a banger of an episode: there's a low-stakes Ocean's 11 plot to infiltrate the WTC for "business reasons"; there's a requisite COCK IN THE HENHOUSE; and the ladies even experience another instance of double merch thanks to the myriad #empatheticsweaters in their lives. After deleting sosh meeds and hitting up Blue Nile YET AGAIN for Trish's 40th birthday commemorative diamond(s), the girls seamlessly segue over to their first ever country club SIDE CHAT where they tackle a love-bombing bad actor in the City of Sin.

Thank you for all the love and support during Season 1, side chicks–and worry not, we'll be back next week with Season 2 because the idea of "seasons" is mostly a bit!

January 29, 2025 Serious Avenue
This week on The Side Chat, the ladies take an uncharacteristic turn down Serious Avenue to confront death and combat grief the only way they know how: absolute silliness and a disturbing amount of takeout. After an epic intermission thanks to a puking child (put it on the leaderboard!!!), the gals pick up part two with a hyperbolic SIDE CHAT deserving of at least a ZILLION star review. Trauma dump in the comments for a chance to win your very own SC merch! #griefsponcon

January 22, 2025 Alpha Couple
It's birthday week on The Side Chat! The ladies are celebrating Krissy inching one year closer to no longer being sufficiently under 40. In honor of the big day, the girls are examining why Millennials are aging so damn well (#humble) and sharing what their "Third Things" are. After opening bday prezzies (not one but TWO Empathetic Sweaters!) and having a quickkk identity crisis, the gals unpack a SIDE CHAT that leaves them wondering just who is the Alpha of the group???

January 15, 2025 Dearly Beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called "life"
Electric word, life
It means forever, and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else:
The Side Chat.
This week, the ladies (see also: Krissy) are two espresso martinis and a vodka sody deep and discussing the most thoughtful Secret Santa presents of all time, their New Years intention words, and why we simply aren't supposed to travel with children. After Krissy takes us to church live from Martha Stewart's former correctional facility, the gals dive into a side chat about proper newborn bubble visiting etiquette–and why you can never trust a baby named Ernie.

January 08, 2025 Scrudge
*This episode brought to you by Kean's Scrudge Fudge* If you were thinking to yourself, "Sure it's mid-January and the holidays are already a distant memory but MAN I wish I could listen to three stressed out moms discuss the societal pressures of sending Christmas cards for the second week in a row." WELL, GREAT NEWS, DATE QUEEN, we've got an episode for YOU! The ladies are wrapping up 2024 the only way they know how: battling childhood illness and being world-class inter-office busybodies. After unpacking Caitlin's new side hustle of forcing her coworkers to propose to their girlfriends, the gals at last break the Tricia curse with a SIDE CHAT straight from the local mom group crusading against local canna-businesses.

January 01, 2025 Dopplegangers
Happy New Year, Side Chicks!!! New year, same overstimulated moms still trying to make the holidays magic. The ladies unpack the mom guilt driving so many December decisions including sending holiday cards (hello, Paperless Post?? we're available for sponsorship whenever you're ready) and teaching three-nagers to ski. As if that weren't enough, the gals are still trying to prioritize date night... mostly so Caitlin can send the other girls pics of her one single going out top (not to be confused with her one single podcasting sweatshirt). From there, the ladies take a page out of Club Chalamet and delve into a SIDE CHAT about unfortunate (and ALLEGEDLY problematic) look-alikes–while examining the celebrity doppelgängers they themselves have received over the years.

December 25, 2024 Chad Chat
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Side Chicks! The ladies of THE SIDE CHAT are broadcasting from the past into the future to help you survive another winter without Shining your family. The gals are handling the general stress of the season flawlessly (despite what the shingles may suggest) all thanks to a little strategy called "gentle parenting" which we're fairly certain children invented to test the limits of their parents' love and patience. And just in time for the holidays, the girls break down a SIDE CHAT about family group chat drama that makes the Christmas episode of The Bear look like a Norman Rockwell painting.

December 18, 2024 Live Laugh Thrive
This week, the gals of The Side Chat are THRIVING as they take a break from their 3am Frasier binges to dish on their co-dependency issues, insomnia, and fears of leaving the protective safety of the antibiotic bubble. After three stings for the price of one, the ladies segue over to a SIDE CHAT that delves into the dangers of the group chat–and the importance of knowing your audience before firing off that next text. Along the way, Caitlin pretends to be a women's health expert as the ladies chat navigating TTC conversations and perimenopause (spoiler: women's bodies remain a medical mystery). Be sure to stay till the end for an audio message from Krissy that was so critical she quite literally couldn't sleep until she sent it.
