This Might Backfire Podcast

We probably should've gone to bed instead of recording... but here we are.

After debating whether it's okay to eat grapes while shopping and a short little follow up on tipping culture responses, we dive into commitment. What it means, why some people thrive on it, and why others have a harder time with it.

Blame it on sleep deprivation if we say too much.

This week, we're talking comfort food, condiment dealbreakers, the monthly gift that is PMS, and the debate over what's acceptable to buy secondhand.If you've ever judged someone for putting ketchup on the wrong food... or at all, welcome to the club.

Fit checks with concert merch vs Goodwill, the never ending debate about tipping in the US, pest control is a need for your sanity, and more this week. :)What's on your list of controversial topics? Inspire us.

History facts, a recent bathroom story, and an anatomy lesson... because apparently those all belong in the same conversation.This week, we cover everything from the Great Emu War to a bathroom incident that somehow leads Alison to discover Megan has a few gaps in her knowledge of female anatomy.Source for facts: https://historyfacts.com/world-history/article/funny-facts-about-history/

We're talking Love Island, what it really means to be a "girl's girl," toxic empathy, middle school fashion and makeup choices we'd rather forget, adrenaline freezes, and whatever else came up along the way.

If you've ever had a conversation that started in one place and ended somewhere completely different, you'll fit right in. Thanks for listening!

History is either fascinating... or painfully boring, depending on which one of us you ask.This episode, we talk about Princess Diana, Marie Antoinette, the historical eras we'd actually choose to live in, and a few other moments and people that somehow made their way into the conversation.

Welcome to the very first episode of This Might Backfire Podcast! Before we dive into the stories, debates, and random rabbit holes, we figured we'd introduce ourselves.We've been friends for nearly 20 years, but we're about as different as two people can be. In this episode, you'll get to know Megan and Alison, hear how our friendship began, and learn why we thought starting a podcast together was either a great idea... or a terrible one.This is just the beginning, and we can't wait to bring you plenty of laughs, honest conversations, and the occasional hot take along the way.Thanks for listening! And if you notice a little echo or other audio quirks, we appreciate your patience as we work out the kinks and fine-tune our setup. We promise it'll only get better from here.
