Hey Chums

As we anxiously but stoically await the impending Rapture, Sylvie and Alyssa visit some of life's most important questions, like, "should something be called a ketchup if it's made with bananas?", and "is knowing your dog's body fat percentage the true key to happiness?" Ponder those and more, in our collective final moments before the eclipse whisks us away to the...

As one of life's mysteries (that mystery being "what is Dingle Dangle") is solved, many more are introduced, in this feast of an episode that included fish in a can, chili in a bag, and, perplexingly, low-decibel baubles on the head. We'll discuss which entrepreneurs have the rizz and which are making a real Sophie's choice about their companies' futures. Hey, Chums! Welc...

It's time for another dive into the Tank as we swim through the murky waters of vegan cheese, "pocket panties," a wine ~valise, and something to solve a problem we now know as "NFO." Also: a quick review of Blue Land cleaning products from Chummy friend Brian, and a flashback to one of our favorite lock-related mishaps of all time. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unof...

It's a real sundry dump of products this week, as we learn about multiple forms of eyewear and their great possibilities. We also contemplate the many ways that a person can die on a ski mountain, unless you're Barbara, in which case, all you're doing is tracking a route to your missing friends. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends & co-...

It's Sharkaween on Sharkmas, as we finally get a glimpse of Jason Blum as a guest Shark. We'll hear his hot takes on haunting at scale, try some delicious Chamoy, and consider the viability of a pumpkin-carving empire (spoiler: there isn't any). Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends & co-hosts Alyssa and Sylvie (plus: guest appearances by...

There's a lot to cover in season 15, episode 4 of the Tank– Barbara's undying love for a franchise, Mark and Robert touting their side hustle minutes before maligning a dogtrepreneur's choice to position her company as a side hustle, and our undying love for a pile of french fries. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends & co-hosts Alyssa a...

Dive back into the tank with us for Season 15, Episode 3 of Shark Tank as we fight an army of bots, ponder the complexity and risk/reward ratio of beef Wellington, and are possibly maybe a little too mean to a pair of children. Also, yeah, we missed episode 2. Sue us! (Don't do that. Please don't do that.) Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends &a...

Dingle dangle, y'all! We're BACK with a new season of sharks, broken dreams, and Lori's nonsensical scribbles. In this week's episode, we're breaking down Season 15, episode 1 of Shark Tank — an episode full of chocolate that's supposed to make us feel good but really makes us feel bad, very expensive (and sensitive) soap, and a cameo from a guest shark known to us simple a...

Join us for the very last episode of Season 14 of Shark Tank (yes, we know it aired in May. Blame Hulu). This week, we're talking crop tops, our inevitable deaths, and a world in which college merch is actually cool. Lori cried, we cried (figuratively), and we'll all see you next season. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends & co-hosts Alyssa...

WE'RE BACK!!! Join us to hear about the cavalcade of calamities that has befallen Sylvie and Alyssa so far this summer, and to dive into Season 14, Episode 21 of Shark Tank. This week, it's all about hair care, how much mealtime happiness $6 can buy, and why anyone would be interested in berries that make you hallucinate but not in the good way. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unoffi...

Welcome, friends, to a very special edition of Hey Chums. Sometimes, in life, an event SO historical — so monumental — happens, and, well.... that's exactly what happened here. So we're taking a quick swim in the ocean of Vanderpump Rules, and breaking down #Scandoval for everyone from day 1 viewers to people who don't know what a Jax is. Kick back, relax, and remember: to us, you'...

This week, we splash down onto Shark Tank Season 14, Episode 20, a no-deal-filled frenzy of honey bars and lunchbox toys. Sylvie and Alyssa discuss the pitfalls of a boring wardrobe, the limited use case for energy bars, and the unfiltered musings of Daymond John, who is our Shark Of The Week for the month of May, possibly beyond. We're on hiatus after this for a few weeks, see ya in the summe...

Welcome to this week's episode of Hey Chums, where we're diving straight into Season 14, Episode 19 of Shark Tank!

This week, we're firing up the tank with an episode featuring multiple pyrotechnics, including a Mark Cuban-wielded flamethrower complete with vague death threats thrown toward Kevin O'Leary. We'll also discuss the best dental product to never exist, and why a smoothie vending machine might actually be the last thing you need between meetings. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unof...

We're breaking down episode 17 of season 14 of Shark Tank! Dive into an extremely alpine-friendly edition with multiple products designed to hit the ski slopes, a delicious (but potentially excessive) ice cream accessory, and an audio product that has Alyssa having flashbacks of a very traumatic roadtrip. As always, shout out to the Hey Chums nation — you keep us from going off on a "tngn...

We're back in the tank with an extra-long, extremely special episode, talking to Lindsay Daugherty, investment analyst at a leading consumer venture firm. We'll learn a little bit about what money is before diving into this extremely business-y episode, tackling questions about diaper change needs, dog pounds, and whether we can all go back to eating dairy without public shame. Hey, Chums!...

We're diving in headfirst to Season 14, episode 15 of Shark Tank! This week, some controversial products hit the treacherous waters of The Tank, from a very large toothbrush to a sports utility device so ugly that even Alyssa wouldn't wear it. We also get to see Barbara experience the betrayal of the beauty industry, and question Lori's wardrobe inspiration. Thanks to the Hey Chum Nation for stick...

Take a leisurely dip inside the Hey Chums tank this week as we break down the ONLY EPISODE of Shark Tank currently available on Hulu: Season 14, Episode 14! We fearlessly dive into the murky waters of chub rub, explore an alternate reality where we feel good about paying $14.50 to recycle your own clothing, and debate the use case for "Funk-Off."  Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unoffic...

To watch Season 14, Episode 13 of Shark Tank is to endure Season 14, Episode 13 of Shark Tank.

Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends & co-hosts Alyssa and Sylvie (pl...

Welcome back to Hey Chums! We're breaking down S14 E11, as we try to not get bitten by mosquitos thanks to Kinfield, get our workouts on with Metric Mate, and soothe our bellies with Wild Wonder. Also, a very warm welcome to Tony Xu, our guest Shark & CEO of Door Dash. Tony, if you're reading this... our relationships with our partners are really not that serious. Give us a ring sometime!&nbsp...

WE'RE BACK IN THE TANK for the Season 14 Episode 10 episode with GOOP CEO and problematic fave Gwyneth Paltrow! Join us for a slew of products we have no use for, from the "chill cradle" for wine to organic diapers (also, if we ever hear the phrase "diaper blow-out" on this show again, just end our lives. Please). A reminder to follow @HeyChumsPodcast, and "tanks" so much for the support to the en...

We get a hearty mix of high highs and low lows this week, with a bird-viewing device that assaults your sense of personal space, a single-use version of something called a "sauna suit" that may or may not be made up, and a 17 year-old entrepreneur whom we hope is prepared to take us on as a mentor. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podcast, with friends & co-hosts Aly...

Strap on your flippers and dive into this boozy episode about S14E06 of Shark Tank, where we swim through oceans of high-end wine coolers and bulk margaritas. We also meet the entrepreneur who thinks he's already a Shark, and consider whether a homespun craft can get us excited about the science of banana ripening. Answer: Not really! Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank pod...

This week, in Season 14 Episode 5 of Shark Tank, Emma Grede is in the tank for an episode cozier (and even more flammable) than a faux-mink cape. We'll examine the troubling relationship between a momtrepreneur and her young daughtertrepreneuer, and talk to a Real British Person about why Americans prefer things that are disgusting. Hey, Chums! Welcome to the officially unofficial Shark Tank podca...
