The Side Chat episodes:

December 11, 2024 C'est La Vie
Calling all FoFs! (that's Friend of a Friend for those who don't subscribe to our Patreon) This week, the ladies of THE SIDE CHAT are keeping things "light" (lolol) with awkward stories of watching sex scenes with their parents, close encounters with the medical system, and cautionary tales about why it's never a good idea to accept a drink from a stranger. Along the way, Caitlin breaks a 15 year code of silence with a startling revelation to Krissy that threatens to unravel the friendship and surely means the podcast is cursed. After a brief and adorable guest appearance from a baby Side Chick (and Trish's LSTs), the ladies pick up Part 2 of the episode with a truly cringe SIDE CHAT about children's birthday party etiquette–and what to do if you think your invitation got lost in the admin of childhood.

December 04, 2024 Divorce Brunch
Norovirus & networking: that's what The Side Chat does best! This week's episode is not for the weak of stomach (so if you're one of those freaks who enjoys Good & Plentys, you should be fine). The ladies discuss stomach bug survival techniques while still doing insane mom things like breastfeeding your baby and preserving some shred of holiday magic for your kids. Krissy then pulls a Rodney Dangerfield and goes Back to School for a career conference that absolutely was only intended for undergrads (#under40). Finally the gals tuck into a SIDE CHAT about a couple announcing their divorce via text mere moments before showing up for a brunch double date–and Tricia does the craziest "pulling a Trish" yet!

November 27, 2024 Prank Phone Calls
Don't pick up the phone–the SIDE CHAT is coming from inside the house. This week, the gals are tripping down memory lane as they discuss the middle school sleepover circuit, prank phone calls, and unsolved mysteries. After Caitlin finishes a 25 minute Ted Talk (that honestly could have been a voice note) and Krissy sings Man in the Mirror for a third time, the ladies unpack a SIDE CHAT about overcoming dating icks–and why cold calling a stranger without warning should automatically get you added to some kind of registry.

November 20, 2024 Pod Pod
*This episode was recorded live from the #PodPod... a thing Caitlin totally trademarked already so don't steal it* Is that a ring light on your screen or are we just happy to see Trish?? This week's episode marks a historic moment for the ladies of The Side Chat: the first time one of the gals cries on mic. A boost of lighting and a couple of supportive husband stories is all it takes to get the waterworks going... but to be fair, if you were dealing with lice all week, you might be looking for an excuse to cry too. Besides colonoscopies and driving like DUMPS, the ladies discuss a SIDE CHAT about a decades-long friendship ending abruptly via text under mysterious circumstances that leaves the girls scratching their heads (and no, not because of the lice).

November 13, 2024 Maid of Dishonor
Calling all empathetic sweaters! This week is all about parenting survival tactics. The gals discuss what to do when your kids are climbing the walls, why fences make good parents, and when to just take life easy, Frog and Toad style. They then dive into a boots on the ground SIDE CHAT with real time reporting from the world’s worst maid of honor speech.

November 07, 2024 Mud Ankles
**This week's episode is coming to you from the blissfully unaware past–join us if you need to dissociate from reality for an hour or so.** The girls are on their fall bullsh*t as they discuss people pleasing, hurricanes, and trypophobia (this one is for the #trypoFREAKS). They also have their very first on-mic fight over a SIDE CHAT for good that leaves everyone worried about the health of producer Evan's ankles.

October 30, 2024 Thaaaanks FOR NOTHING
This week, the ladies of THE SIDE CHAT are namin' names! The gals are talking terrible teenage jobs, AirBnB bedroom boundaries (not as spicy as it sounds), and the high drama of leaving group chats. Then they tuck in for a little Red Chair Talk to SIDE CHAT about bachelorette party room claiming etiquette–and why making a bunk bed is a top 3 humiliating human experience.

October 23, 2024 Long Skinny Boobs
This week's episode is broadcasting from the liminal space that is motherhood. The gals are discussing high school superlatives (#flirt), professional yapping (with or without charm), and pure unadulterated Millennial cringe. They also grapple with a SIDE CHAT about navigating an adult friendship breakup while still preserving the friend group dynamic. So grab your tickets to the Husband Fight Club, pour yourself a warm shot of gin, and throw your boobs over your shoulder–it's time for another SIDE CHAT.

October 16, 2024 Being in Cahoots
This week, the girls are bringing some serious Tuesday energy (historically the weirdest day of the week to podcast) as they discuss failed attempts at sober September (#SoberSix), lost wallets, and why haircuts are worth 3 therapy sessions. They also strategize about how to ditch your friend's lame tag-along husband with SIDE CHAT subterfuge and expert level scheming.

Fun fact: Evan edited this week's pod from his jail cell where he's currently serving 7-10 for parking in front of a school even though he told Caitlin he didn't want to.

October 09, 2024 Sleepy Treat Girls
This episode is for the girls who are neither early birds nor night owls (there are dozens of us!). This week the ladies are going deep on self-esteem in your late 30s: from mommy makeovers & preventative botox to establishing an early morning workout routine when all you want to do is Alex Mack yourself deeper into bed. So pour yourself a glass of Sutter Home and grab your Yasso bars and join us–because this certainly ain't the quiet car.
