In my crusty era - Mother's Day Special

You all showed up and flooded the inbox with the most incredible stories for Mother's Day and now Jeri has to sue you all for emotional damages.

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. We're both proof of its existence and also part of the problem perpetuating its debatable existence. In this episode, we discuss how we're crocheted together by the universe with invisible strings. Don't believe us? Have you even tried being spiritchal? Grow up.

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.

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! Thank you for being gentle on us this week while we get ourselves back together!!...

No one self adjusts me like I self adjust me - Mental Health Check In

We've been needing it and you've been asking for it, it's a long overdue mental health check in. Tour is almost over and the roller coaster of highs and lows is about to come to a screeeeeeching halt - see what I did there, PNW? Grab a cozy drink and get your comfy pants on while we answer some of your questions in this slower paced catch up ep.

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.

You gluck on this, you'll never gluck again - Angel Numbers

If you've ever heard someone yelling ONE ONE ONE, TWO TWO TWO, THREE THREE THREE - no, you're not at an auction, it's just your spirit guides telling you some shit. What are they trying to tell you? Well according to the internet, so much. We're here to share a few of those with you today!

Alive in their garden - The Mirabal Sisters

March is women’s history month and we wouldn’t dare rob you of the opportunity to learn about a group of bad ass sisters who helped take down one of the most cruel dictators in history. Go ahead and skip your morning coffee, we’re running on feminine rage today.

My mom had gotten up to go to the bathroom and she never came back - Scandals

Because we've been enjoying doing a mashup of listener submissions, we are petitioning changing our beloved Scandals episodes to Smorgasbord episodes. IYKYK... Today on the story buffet, we have ho-stories, matrix glitches and some old fashion scandally scandals. As always, we love you and hope you keep sending in your stories to [email protected] for a chance to have yours featured on future eps!

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. REF...

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 i...

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. We've devoted an entire episode to giving you arguably terrible, but very much solicited advice. Once again, we don't know dick about shit and don't advise anyone ever do what we say- unless it turns out well; then you tell people we told you to do it.

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. As always please take these as the opinions they are and nothing more - we have never wanted you to listen to us and we hope you never will.

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. Ciara prepared a Smörgåsbord of stories for us and Jeri tried to make them hot in honor of the day of love. It was nearly impossible to do considering two of the stories included mehrder....

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...

To be fair, the bar is on the floor - Couples Game

If you’ve ever spent a sleepless night wondering what part of a burrito would best represent each of us, or which one of us has a higher pain tolerance, wonder no more! Ciara surprised Jeri this week with The Couples Game- which is totally not weird in any way for two cousin besties to play together. Cousins can play couples games....couple means two, you're the one who is making it weird. Grab some snacks and your beverage of choice and join us for a good old fashioned game night full of health...

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. Big disclaimer once again that we don’t know dick a...

Boobie! Boobie on the TV! - Turning 20 in 2024

We can't believe 2004 was 20 years ago- especially since we ourselves just had our 12th 20th birthday last year. If you're ready to embark on the nostalgia train, then punch your ticket and step right this way. We'll take you back to a time when music videos ruled the world and a certain painter's code sent the religious world into a tizzy. Speaking of Tizzy...I can't remember but I think there was something to do with a ball and a mid game musical number involving Shmanet Shmackson and a one Mr...

You’re a menace and I mean that as the highest compliment - Dats Disgusting

You mother fathers are absolutely FOUL and we love you for it! We weren't sure what to expect when Jeri initially asked for disgusting stories, but we knew that if anyone could understand her wishes, it would be the community we've built on the foundation of not being able to hold our own bowels. If you don't like poop, puke, goat diseases, or bloody nipples, this probably isn't the episode for you... we'll c u next tuesday!

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...

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 posi...

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.

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...

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 ...

No chemo or anything, just bar breastmilk - Heartwarming Stories

Sometimes life imitates art and in this episode our audience proves just how fairytale like life can be. From meet cutes to lift saving rat poison, these stories paint the world in beautiful technicolor. There's also a longwinded bit rif about fantasy words that had us being so silly.

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.

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 Woul...

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.
