That's the that on...us? - Q & A: So this is a story all about...us! You sent questions and we answered. How long does it take our chin hair to grow? What do we really think of each other? How's Patricia? It started as a Q&A and somehow turned into a tutorial for the Britney Spears impression that you didn't ask for, but most certainly need. God bless and enjoy this week's taste for your ear holes. by Ladies & Tangents

On today’s festive episode we’ve got Santa, we’ve got Yule Lads, we’ve got holiday music induced panic attacks. We’re sharing holiday figures from around the world and taking you on a trip down memory avenue to share our Christmas traditions. We wish you all a safe and happy holiday season with the ones you love! May you all get shirts and if not, here’s hoping you outrun the Yule Cat! by Ladies & Tangents

I poop rocketed myself right into the sky - Dreams: “Dreams feel real when we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was strange.” Even if you’re like us and dissociating your way through life, your brain is storing everything in your subconscious. Scary, huh? Sometimes these memories will come back and take shape in the form of a a Sting Balloon or playing tag with Cher - whatever you dream, there’s a lesson to be learned. Or it’s nothing...no one really knows. by Ladies & Tangents

If you're silent, I could die - BLACK LIVES MATTER w/ Lauren TKO Rohan: This week we are using the mic to amplify a voice from the black community. Lauren TKO Rohan is a poet, lyricist, artist, rapper from New Jersey. She hates mayonnaise. She’s right handed and afraid of heights. She’s a Capricorn. She loves show tunes and cooking. She is UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK. She has been around the world and has graced numerous stages with her presence; including TEDxOrlando to perform a piece on identity. She’s incredible, but you shouldn’t need her resume to want to listen to what she has to say. We hope you’ll take some time out of your day to join the conversation and leave with a better understanding of this movement. “Not one more life. Not one more.” #BLACKLIVESMATTERFollow Lauren TKO Rohan-Instagram & Twitter - @TKO_goesBANGTedxOrlando TKO - https://youtu.be/ZJBkIFcoIyQ by Ladies & Tangents

I went into this with questions and I'm leaving with more questions - Tiger King: The world has gone crazy for a man whose fringe collection would make John Wayne green with envy. We present to you a topic that needs no introduction. This week we go through episode by episode and recap the wildest ride we’ve ever been on. You know him, you love him, you may have voted for him for governor of Oklahoma - Joe Exotic THE Tiger King. by Ladies & Tangents

My body is a temple and I ruined it - Faith: Tis the season to revel in our anxiety and push ourselves to talk about something we’d otherwise avoid at all cost. No, not politics. We’re dodging that bullet either for another 6 months or another 4 years, we’ll find out. We’re talking about faith. There’s so much we don’t know and a lot we want to learn but we’re sharing our journeys with you today. We’re sharing different sides of the spectrum and answering questions that have always plagued us when it comes to the big G-O-D. Our goal has always been to provide real friendship and friendship isn’t always poop jokes and plucking our mustache. So here we are, baring our souls to you hoping you don’t hate us at the end. Ok, love you bye! by Ladies & Tangents

Did you just call me stupid? - Mandela Effect: Would you trust a memory that felt as real as all your other memories if other people confirmed that they remembered it too? Get ready to question everything from where the Statue of Liberty is actually located to the spelling of the popular children’s series, the Berenstain Bears. YEP. THAT ISN’T A TYPO. People are legit trying to convince us that the BerenSTEIN Bears never existed and it’s been BerenSTAIN the entire time. We’re not buying it, and we’re not the only ones. The Mandela Effect has people recalling brands completely differently and has hundreds of thousands of people remembering Sinbad in a movie that allegedly was never made. This glitch in the matrix is a little science, a little woo-woo and a whole lot of frustrating. by Ladies & Tangents

If you give me a bag of Swiss cheese, I'm going to think you're mad at me - Unpopular Opinions: For today’s bonus episode we bring to you our Unpopular Opinions! Facebook has become MySpace and bulletin quizzes are back, baby, and we’re hoppin' on that trend. We encourage you to turn this into your Friday night/day (what day is it?) drinking game. Drink every time we say piggy-back. Drink if one of us mispronounces a word. Drink every time you disagree with us. Drink every time we disagree with each other. Sip-sip hooray if you hear the word baguette. Raise your glass for 9/11. Chug if Jeri gets Ciara to flip her opinion. And as two sober people, we see you other sober people. Instead of an alcoholic beverage, grab yourself a nice tall glass of milk. Just kidding, milk is disgusting. by Ladies & Tangents

Turn it off, we don't know why you're listening - Imposter Syndrome: Do you heavily relate to the phrase “fake it ‘til you make it?” Do you question whether or not you’re qualified enough to call yourself a functioning human? Do you reject compliments like it’s your actual job? If you said yes to any of these questions, we’ve got an episode for you! So slap on your dog filter and let us tell you about the syndrome you probably haven’t heard about, but almost certainly have - Imposter Syndrome. by Ladies & Tangents

Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - Salem Witch Trials: In 1692, years after Columbus sailed the Ocean blue, some weird shit started happening in Salem, Massachusetts.

Speaking of rabies... - The Weird World of Wikipedia: This episode is about 50% ladies, 50% tangents. If you're here for the wiki-wiki world of Wikipedia, skip ahead about 25 minutes, BUT if you're interested in hearing us attempt several Jewel songs, tell stories of strange things we did as children and roughly 7 minutes about raccoons, then play that ish from the beginning. At some point we do go through a couple articles of some strange borderline unnecessary Wikipedia pages. PS, if anyone can explain the Buffalo sentence to us, we'd be so appreciative. by Ladies & Tangents

I'm lashing out because my sweater is too hot - Anxiety: Do you ever feel like life is a dream? Like the world is tilted and you could just float right off the edge? There’s a name for that and it’s a panic attack. Like the movie SPLIT, they can come in different forms and at any time. We’ll be sharing many of the different faces of anxiety and how to cope when one pops up like an unexpected acquaintance at the grocery store. In the meantime, if you’ve got some lavender around, we suggest slathering it all over yourself before clicking play because we’re about to get into - ANXIETY*Trigger Warning* On this week’s episode we will be talking about things that may induce panic or trigger past trauma, specifically regarding generalized anxiety disorder, unhealthy relationships and our experiences with them. If these are topics that you may have a negative response to, please listen with caution or we’ll talk next week! by Ladies & Tangents

Pour one out for my homeboy, Jesus - History of Christmas: YUUUULE! The true history of Christmas has been a mystery for us and on this episode we reveal the source of some of the Christmas traditions we know and love today. Don’t shoot the messenger, but documented history states that Christmas may not have had such a wholesome beginning, even warranting a war on the holiday itself. This is a real history-vocab situation with a dash of celebratory mischief to get you in the spirit this season! Happy Saturnalia, all you Lords of Misrule! by Ladies & Tangents

Tangents & True Crime - The Eriksson Twins: Move over Mary-Kate and Ashley, there’s a new set of twins in town! And we’re discussing any crime by dinner time. We are so excited to introduce to you our new reoccurring series that will be known as Tangents & True Crime. Once a month, we’ll be telling stories that fascinate, confuse and sometimes scare us. This week we tell you the bonkers story of Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, Swedish twins who share more than just their looks. If true crime isn’t your thing, fear not. We have buffered their story between humiliating memories of being mistaken for a boy that act as your New Girl episode after a scary movie.

Still here! Guess we're in Hell! - Y2K: It's the end of the world as we know it....again! While the world is making lists of what tv shows, songs and trends are turning 20 in '20, we're recalling all the times that the world was expected to tend since we said goodbye to the 1900's. We're so excited to ring in the new year with all of you comforters and see what insanity the new decade has to bring! Cheers! by Ladies & Tangents

You can't bring change if you're not uncomfortable - White Fragility w/ Paige Eff: “That’s where the term ‘White Fragility’ comes from. It’s a person that wants to acknowledge that racism exists, but they don’t want to endure the stress or the discomfort of talking about it...they want to walk away from it...It’s the inability to endure the same stress about racial injustice that I have been feeling my whole life.” For this episode we sat down with Paige Eff, a mother, wife, future nurse and biracial black woman who reached out to share her story of growing up in a predominantly white town. We wanted to ask her some questions about her experience with racial injustice as a black woman and through our open discussion, she educated us about white fragility. She challenged us to ask ourselves tough questions surrounding our preconceived notions and assumptions about the black community. We hope you’ll listen with an open mind and challenge yourself to answer those same questions. by Ladies & Tangents

Someone's living in my walls - Urban Legends: From chain letters to Bigfoot and everything in between - this week we’re talking about Urban Legends. These stories are heavily circulated and modified from person to person. Think the game Telephone but make it Stephen King. We don’t know what compels people to keep these tales alive, maybe it’s tradition, maybe it’s maybelline. Whatever it is, we know who’s to blame...we’re looking at you Aunt Marie. by Ladies & Tangents

Quantum physics stuff, string theories and all that - Deja Vu: Calling all knock-knee bimbos! We know you experience it, we all do. We’re talking about Deja Vu! Well, we get real tangent-y in this one, but there’s some Deja Vu talk sprinkled between our trips down memory avenue. There’s a little science, a little conspiracy and a whole lot of mispronunciations. Wait...have we done this before? by Ladies & Tangents

Paddy Daddy sent the snakes out of Ireland - History of St. Patrick's Day: To try to create a humorous description to go with this episode feels in some ways wrong. This episode was recorded when restaurants were still open, when schools were still in session and social distancing was more a suggestion than a mandate and the conversation reflects that. We are aware of the heartbreaking stories and the gravity of the situation at hand. We are here to offer you a break from the news, the updated closures and the disappearing human connection so many people are feeling. We are so saddened by the rise in cases around the world and the impact this is having on our hospital staff and small businesses. We know we have listeners all over the country in varying levels of lockdown and we want to bring you all what we’ve always promised - friendship without having to leave your house. We know attending a St. Patrick’s Day celebration isn’t going to happen so we brought St. Paddy to you. We took t by Ladies & Tangents

Tangents & True Crime - Elisa Lam: I hope you’re hungry! It’s the second scary sandwich from our monthly series Tangents & True Crime. This episode tells the curious story of Elisa Lam, a young girl who mysteriously went missing while on break from school in California. We tried our best to put some pieces of this puzzle together and we intend to keep our day jobs. Don’t worry if true crime gives you the creeps. Eventually we round this baby out and make it safely to Hogwarts. How and why did we get there? Good question, but half the time we don’t know how we get anywhere in these conversations. by Ladies & Tangents

Everything's Fine! I'm LL Cool Joy - Inside Out: Leave it to Disney to get us in our feelings. We’re always encouraging you to check in with yourself and today we’re doing just that! We’re revisiting our childhood to figure out what makes us tick, using the movie Inside Out as our guide. Listen and play along with us to figure out who is running your control panel, what your islands of personality are and what lives in your imagination station. You know, just some casual mental health awareness, but make it Pixar! by Ladies & Tangents

Tangents & True Crime - The Slenderman Stabbing: On this installment of Tangents & True Crime we finally tell you a story with a happy ending. We take you on quite the not so happy journey along the way, but in the end we have the heroine we've been longing for. The Urban Legend turned crime inspiration is sandwiched between two slices of chit chat about current quarantine life and Schitt's Creek. We still can't leave our houses so there isn't much else going on! by Ladies & Tangents

You're not broken, you're different - Grief: It feels like a different world every time we talk. As things change, topics change and last minute we decided to discuss something we’ve all felt or are currently feeling - grief. We want to really make ourselves human and open up about our experiences with grief and help others to realize that it’s ok to grieve, no matter how big or how small. Pain is pain, grief is grief and you’re allowed to feel it. by Ladies & Tangents

Perhaps there was an error made somewhere - Amazon Reviews: We found ourselves in lighter spirits this week and wanted to have a laugh for episode 33. Play along as Jeri reads various Amazon reviews and Ciara tries to guess the product they’re written for. It’s fun for the whole family! No complaints from grandpa! *just kidding. There’s a significant amount of curse words so not totally fun for the whole family. That was more just to set up the grandpa part, which will all make sense later...Kloveyoubye! by Ladies & Tangents

I'm a piece of shit because of the stars - Horoscope Birth Charts: We promised to bring you companionship without having to leave your house and this week is no different! On this episode of “we’re quarantined with google” we give you another peak inside our brains. Turns out, we’re pretty crappy people according to the planets. It’s not our faults though, it was written in the stars. *Disclaimer* For the foreseeable future, Ciara and I are abiding by the suggestion of our government and the CDC and practicing social distancing. We will be recording future episodes remotely until notified that it’s safe to be within 6 ft of people again. We hope you understand! by Ladies & Tangents

Don't get so hard that you forget how to be soft - Invisible String Theory: We love a tiktok psuedo-science, especially when we have a little story to go along with it.

She has seen the questions and comments and is catching everyone while also making some requests for future comments, questions and concerns.

Stop oogling my boogles - The Male Gaze: This week Ciara decided to delve deep into the history of a term that has been floating around social media for awhile now. And by delve deep, we mean she found a few articles and decided to use that to strike up a conversation about something she knows nothing about. The male gaze was a term coined in the 1970s but we know it’s actually been around for honestly, probably the beginning of time. Join us in getting mad and also inappropriate for the majority of this episode, and please come into it with an open mind and remember that we do not now and have not ever known anything.

Twosies?! What a special treat! - Burnout vs Depression: *TRIGGER WARNING* This ep contains discussions of su*cidal ideations, hospital admittance and a lot of the word that’s referenced typically using the phrase see you next Tuesday. New year, new us! That’s right, instead of waiting until 2024’s reflection episode to call ourselves out on not doing an episode on burnout vs depression, we’re starting off the year discussing what we’ve put off for two. Did we have to first experience some pretty intense physical manifestations of our minds misgivings? Sure, but if there’s one thing being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world has taught us, it’s that it doesn’t matter how we got here as long as we get here. Speaking of how we got here….we’re aware of the adorable character trait that we possess which consists of going absolutely off the rails silly before diving into something that makes us uncomfortable.

I could punch last year me in the teeth - 2023 REFLECTION: It's time for our longest running podcast tradition...a little commotional drumroll for our annual reflection! It has always been so fun to look back at where we were the year prior and be able to see just how far we've come....until this year, when we looked back and saw just how much one of us has backslid into the pits of depression and self doubt. And because the podcast can only handle one of us being down at a time, Ciara's reflection is here to be our significantly more uplifting and positive life raft! We can't even begin to thank you all for being with us for another whole year. We still feel like we're just getting started and feel so lucky to have so many wonderful people to share it with along the way! We hope you all are able to be kind to yourself as we begin a new year and enter into the next season safely and with an abundance of whatever it is you need. We'll be utilizing an abundantly thick nap asap before t by Ladies & Tangents

I got the mall Santa’s package and it delivered - Ho-liday Special: Are you a satisfied mom on Christmas morning sipping coffee, smugly across the room in your moo moo? Because you gave us exactly what we wanted this year- the most incredible collection of Ho-liday stories two adult women could ask for. If you’re eager to get into the ho-liday spirit you will first have to sit through roughly 30 minutes of our annual self deprecation and incredible re-telling of Ciara’s first experience of a band mom at a Christmas concert. Suprise…there were animals.

You-vering, not me-vering - Hoovering: Next on the list of things you thought were unique to you, but they're not and the internet has made up a word to describe it - Hoovering! Never heard of it? Well, it's not peer reviewed or accepted as an official term in psychology, but we're not psychologists or accepted in certain circles either so we consider ourselves the perfect people to discuss it. If you think we're about to talk to you about the loud tool that sometimes helps you get stuff off the floor, you're kind of right. Hoovering is the process by which people in your life can suck you back into unhealthy patterns, regardless of how hard you try to establish and hold boundaries. It's like the old saying goes, you either die a hoover or live long enough to find yourself sucked back in. Apologies in advance for all of the dumping we do in this ep. We're just way too familiar with vacuums. GAZA/WEST BANK RESOURCES- https://medium.com/@scholarscoalition/for-immediate-release-u-s-4c2a by Ladies & Tangents

The bad boys of Christmas past - Krampus: We thought that discussing the half goat half demon holiday horror would stuff the spook in your stocking but instead, Krampus crammed us full of laughter. Our elders have an awful lot to say about the younger generations, but after learning about the stories and fear tactics they created to pass the time and coerce children into being good- we're doubling down on our tiktok dances and memes. I'm not saying we'll never run through the streets in furry costumes, threatening children with bundles of sticks, but we certainly won't be jumping there as quickly as generations past.

I've shaved so many backs - Would You Rather: TW: car accidents, loss The world has felt really heavy lately and that weight was felt locally this past week. A total of 6 people were lost and 18 were injured in an accident that rocked our community. We try our best to find a balance between leaving space for grief, while also offering a distraction and this episode is no different. After addressing our local news, we utilize our favorite coping mechanism, humor to help bring light into a very dark time. Shoutout to everyone who sent us Would You Rather questions to respond to, you all truly never disappoint!

In b*tchness and in wealth, or whatever they said - Checking In: We've been in the damn trenches over here. Between the light leaving the sky at 4 pm, sicko kids and no sleep, life has us over here sharing a floating door like Titanic intended. The day before we took off to fly across the country with our husbands, we decided to just sit down and have a quick catch up with all of our besties...and then we had an impromptu gnat killing spree....and then the episode abruptly ends because a random chunk of audio went missing. Forgive us for being absolute trash bags this week. We love you so much. by Ladies & Tangents

Flip floppin all over the ocean - The Bermuda Triangle: 0:00 - 9:20 intro 9:21 - 30:00 addressing Gaza/Israel 30:00 Bermuda Triangle There are things that as children, we all thought would be incredible threats to our safety- quicksand, amnesia, secret British twins and of course, the Bermuda Triangle. Today we're going to tell you about one that has proven to be a problem for roughly 1,000 people, including naval ships and airplanes. Whether you believe in it or not, there are numerous mysterious accounts of people, planes and ships going missing all in the triangular ocean between Bermuda, Miami and Puerto Rico. Didn't realize it was that close to Florida? Us either. Suddenly that state makes more sense. Before getting into todays topic, we hope you'll take a second to listen to some words about what is happening in Gaza. We will have resources linked below.
