Ladies & Tangents

Did micro waves just melt that chocolate in your pocket or are you just happy to see us? Some of the most useful and influential inventions in history happened on complete accident. We found a history.com article that outlined some of the most insane discoveries in the medical, culinary and explosives field.

Game night is usually reserved for our friends after dark, but we were feeling a little nostalgic for our earlier content and decided to bring the silly goofy sleepover vibes to the main feed. Play along with us as we try to match answers in the game Blank Space!

If you listened to last week's episode you'll remember that the psychology quiz we took introduced us to some new vocabulary- vocabulary that we have decided will periodically be the topic of one of our episodes. This week we're starting with a doozy and covering Destiny vs Growth Belief. When magical thinkings, limerence and the consumption of entirely too many romcoms unite - you develop the bel...

We're always fascinated by psychology and human relationships, sometimes a little too fascinated to the point where one of us was emotionally depleted from listening to 9/11 voicemails. Because of this, we decided to use our brains at half mast and take quizzes on psychologytoday.com PSYCHOLOGY QUIZ - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/quizzes/dating-red-flags-test THANKS SPONSORS- https://mintmob...

Remember that one episode where we read snapple facts? Well, it turns out that not every snapple fact is created equal. We discovered (with the help of an online article) that some of these declarations aren't even fact at all, some being disproven by the Myth Busters themselves. Is this an attempt to disguise an all tangents episode by having an alleged topic? Maybe. We'll let you be the judge. R...

We lost an absolute legend this past week. Dolly Rebecca Parton has been changing the lives of those around her for decades and on this weeks episode, we want to highlight her story. It is a rags to riches story we could all learn from. Dolly helped the world learn to love, laugh and learn to read. She will be so missed. We will always lover her!

Ciara planned an education mental health episode, but unfortunately, both of us came down with a case of the sillies and instead of being informative, we answered questions from a women's health mag article. It says to prepare for gut busting conversations- they must not be aware that our audience (and us) are all too familiar with busted guts. ARTICLE - https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a28110...

When scrolling turns from dissociation to inspiration, you get an episode about a topic that was probably covered in 7th grade when we weren't paying attention. Today we're rediscovering idioms and where looking into where the heck they came from. If you like to vibe with us for the tangents, this episode will be particularly pleasing to you.

No one gaslights us like we gaslight us. We're not down with toxic positivity, but we are down for a coping skill and that's exactly what the Burnt Toast Theory aims to do. We're helping ourselves reframe our daily minor inconveniences without throwing glitter at things that aren't meant to shine.

We don't often like to talk about pop culture before we certain everyone has caught up but we happened to be OBSESSED with this current pop culture phenomenon- pun freaking intended. Ciara is single handedly bringing our entire corner of the world into the fandom, whether you wanted to or not. Just grant her this wish and watch the movie so we can tell you about it in this ep!

There was no preparing for these stories today. Ya'll dug deep in your own lore and shared some absolutely SHOCKING stories. These episodes never cease to amaze us. Our audience is so full of talented writers, poor decision makers and loose bowel havers. We cannot believe the incredible band of misfits we've collected over the years. THANKS SPONSORS- Stop settling for wines that don't quite hit th...

If there was ever any question about whether or not we are smarter than 5th graders, let this be your answer. We've talked long enough about it that we've decided to finally be about it. Grab a snack and play along with us as we find out just how little we retained over the years.

If imposter syndrome had a baby with grief, it would be named Disenfranchised. After experiencing life, we've learned loss is as inevitable as love but not always treated with the same amount of understanding and care. Shoutout to therapy for teaching us there's a word to describe the feeling of trying to hold the overflowing buckets of reality and grief at the same time. THANKS SPONSORS- Take con...

It's a Parsons party of 4! We are in the *in between* of our birthdays and decided to celebrate another year around the sun with the guys that brighten our days. Patreon sent in questions and the four of us answered as many as possible. Even after years together, we all walked away from this learning something new- specifically what dog body we all have. THANKS SPONSORS- Sign up for your $1 per mo...

Thank you to the creators who dedicate their corner of the internet to sourcing and sharing good news. We definitely don't see enough of it now a days. Since this is Ciara's first episode back and she's definitely still experiencing some mourning wood, we thought easing back in with some positivity would be our best bet.

We've had a loss in the L&T family and in order to give ourselves an appropriate break, now that we're back from tour, we're taking this week to highlight some of our favorite moments from Patreon. If you've been interested in what's going on with the ladies after dark, this is your opportunity to microdose the chaos.

Ciara finally got a new phone after continuing to shatter the back of it. With only a few shards left in place, she decided it was time to upgrade. In doing so- she locked herself out of the emails that would have made this week's episode a Scandals one. We hope the tangents only retelling of our first leg back on tour will scratch the story itch for you until next time! These may be first world p...

Jeri & Brady are married so let's give it up for the newest Mr. & Mrs. Parsons! We're recapping the day Ciara's brother and cousin tied the knot and all the shenanigans along the way.

We asked you to send in stories to celebrate the mom in your life and we wish we wouldn't have. We had to pause not even halfway in to have tissues delivered to the couch to help us get through the rest of the episode. One thing is for sure- mom's are angels on earth and deserve the world. Thank you for everyone who shared their story with us! THANKS SPONSORS - INDACLOUD - Get 40% OFF your first o...

Some tiktoks stick with you for years and one about ICKS has lived free in Ciara's head. There's very few things that please her more than a good comment section and this episode is an unhinged as the responses we found. If we were making a personal favorites playlist, this would immediately go towards the top of it. If you're in a funk and need your friends to cheer you up with bits galore and co...

A classic Trolley Problem is a pillar of psychological and sociological studies. If you're unfamiliar, the OG Trolley P is “The trolley problem is a classic ethical thought experiment: a runaway trolley threatens five people; you can pull a lever to divert it to a track killing only one person, but you directly cause that death. It highlights the conflict between utilitarianism (maximizing lives s...
