Big Bird feels real to me - Dark Fan Theories

Chef boyar-dee me down - Icks: After the success of the Sims episode, we decided that we're just going to start doing what you want more often and what you've been asking for is a place to vent your icks. We're back again describing all of the things that make our faces scrunch up in disgust. Did we accidentally just focus on men doing these things and discover that when women do the majority of these, it's more of a yum than an ick? Maybe. by Ladies & Tangents

Dad, not now! I'm doing gay stuff - Sims Play: We just finished up the last leg of tour and had absolutely zero time to record a traditional episode. We've been teasing Sims content for what feels like a year so we finally used our current situation as a reason to pull the trigger and see if we could make an episode out of playing the Sims. For warning, this was recorded on a cell phone in a hotel. If you like this, we will definitely properly record next time!

Now her soul is in this thrift store bathroom - Dream Meanings: We know you weirdos like to talk about dreams and so do we. The insane movies our subconscious projects on the back of our eyelids is the closest we get to tripping these days. Did we already cover some of these things 3.5 years ago? Maybe, but you know we forgot so we read some popular nightmares like it was the first time. Don't take any of this seriously, our resource was a mattress website. by Ladies & Tangents

I'm talking about Abe Lincoln being controlled by a rat - Snapple Facts: We've been on the road quite a lot recently and decided it was time to slow things down and lighten the mood with an episode about Snapple Facts. Before getting into the silly, goofy time, Jeri has some updates for the L&T fam. She has seen the questions and comments and is catching everyone while also making some requests for future comments, questions and concerns. As always, we appreciate you giving us the space and opportunity to be humans, as well as being our friend while we do it. Be gentle with yourself and with us this season, everything is trying to come back to life and it takes time and a lot of work.

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.

Grieve the person you thought they’d become, and then move on - Hey Ladies: We did a Q&A a few weeks ago and heard how upset you were that we skipped the Hey Ladies questions- well we hope you're happy.

I didn’t want anything, but I certainly didn’t want a fish - Red & Green Flags: This week we dug deep in the L&T files for a highly requested episode and asked you all for your “red flags” and “green flags”. Whether it’s a romantic, familial or work relationship - we’ve all experienced that spidey sense that tells our gut whether we vibe with certain people or not.

What did he do to me last night to make my kitty cough so much? - Valentine's Day Special: Once we broke the tradition of our annual Valentine's Day episode with the guys, we apparently forgot completely that the day existed at all.

Vulnerable enough to project onto you - The Three A's: Get out your pencils and papers this week because class is officially in session. We're testing Ciara's attention span, Jeri's reading and your patience with us as we take the scenic route to the point. Jeri broke out her teacher hat again to teach us about “the three A’s" and how they might apply to more of us than we think. Grab your tools and your hard hats, because we're building a bridge of understanding that will connect us all while maybe, hopefully, also getting Jeri an honorary PhD from the University of Phoenix Online.

I'm not a psychologist, I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm barely a person - Family Systems: This week we took another break from having a silly goofy time to tell you about a psychology theory we stumbled upon thanks to a guy named Murray. Triangulation, multigenerational transmission process, a whole bunch of other words we barely understand, but we have a good feeling you'll relate to these family systems as well as we can. I mean, as well as the people on that one tv show we all collectively watched, not us. It’s definitely not us.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
