Ladies & Tangents

We heard you loud and clear and this week we're deep diving into Encanto with you. In this episode we are talking about Bruno-no-no and the characters that we connected with the most! You know we love thinking way too hard about Disney movies and this is no exception. Tell us who you connected with the most!  WE'RE ON PATREON - www.patreon.com/ladiesandtangents  MERCH - www.ladiesandtangents.com/l...

WE LAUNCHED OUR PATREON! www.patreon.com/ladiesandtangents  Serving you up a healthy helping of validation in this weeks episode and teaching you about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. We've heard of the food pyramid, but did you know there's a pyramid of physical, social and emotional needs that also need to be met in order for you to reach peak levels of humaning? Well there is and knowing about it...

It's that time of the month again, we're sharing your scandals! Just want to preface this episode by saying that it is a tangent-y little biotch. We start in Australia, then find ourselves pooping in an alley in Ohio and even venture across the pond to England. If you're anything like us, you'll enjoy the journey down the cobblestone streets. That's a little foreshadowing for you. Buckle up and en...

If you know us, you know we love pondering the idea of existence to a point of dissociation. During this weeks episode we challenge anyone to stay present the entire time as we discuss the idea of the simulation. What is the simulation? Well according to some, there's a 50/50 chance we're living in a super computer, running through someone's "I wonder what would happen if...." scenario and at any...

We're ending this year the way we started 2020 - with one of us having COVID. Unfortunately, this episode had to be done remotely to make sure everyone stayed safe and followed the proper guidelines. Apologies in advance for the different audio, but we hope you'll still enjoy our now tradition of reflecting on the last 365 days & seeing what accidental predictions we made the year prior! We hope y...

It's the most emotional time of the year! We decided for this holiday extravaganza, to look back at some moments in history when people lost their jolly freaking minds over Christmas related things. It is no surprise to anyone that this has been happening for centuries, but these are some of our personal favs. Grab your starbucks red cup and blast "I saw mommy kissing santa claus" to get in the mo...

CW- child illness, death, miscarriage, abortion, dr*g use In this weeks episode we dip our toes into the creepy pasta pool of dark fan theories. What we came to realize is that someone sat down and put a lot of work into decoding the "real" stories behind our favorite nostalgic tv shows. We left with only one question - are you ok?   Info links- https://fantheories.fandom.com/wiki/Ed,_Edd_n_Eddy h...

Today is the day of our Moment House virtual live show so we're time traveling for the last time (in the foreseeable future) for part 2 of our September Scandals. We know that pre-recorded episodes have a different vibe BUT we promise this one is a damn doozy. We're talkin grandma napping, we're talking merder, we're talking a dog walking through grandpa's ashes and that's literally just from one...

Jeri read a book- yes, Jeri- and she learned a new term that we want to share with you: Relational Poverty. We know that the world is every changing and society has seemingly been moving faster than humans can cope with. They say when you have children you get to experience all the joys of life again through fresh eyes, but what happens when what you see looks nothing like what you thought or what...

We've been known to throw out a statement or two like it's a fact that we've seemingly acquired from everyone and no one simultaneously. It's pretty common for people to regurgitate information without siting their sources or discussing the logistics of the questionable truth. I've re-read the last two sentences and wondered if I'm making any sense so here it is- we're talking about common misconc...

We are finally back recording in real time and MAN does it feel good to know where we are in time and space again. It has been a long 4 weeks but it is finally time we share with you how Chessire Kitten Gregorny Gail....we mean SAWYER came into the world! As always, this is a birth story episode so we don't spare any graphic details- skip this one if you need to. Or if you've been feeling like you...

If you're on our side of tiktok, you've probably seen the creator who sheds light and tears on the dark side of seemingly innocent childhood rhymes. If you haven't seen her- turn this off and look up  @Mackenzie Barmen  Between her permanent place on our FYP & constant tags of people thinking her & Jeri were the same person - we decoded to take a stab at the dark history of nursery rhymes!   WE'RE...

We love a wedding. The dress, the flowers, the demon threatening the purity of the bride. So romantic. What...you didn't realize that so many wedding traditions centered around keeping the bride safe from harmful spirits? In true Ladies & Tangents fashion, we decided to ask "why?" when it comes to wedding traditions and we're so excited to share all of our findings with you!   WE'RE GOING ON TOUR...

HOW HAS IT BEEN 2 YEARS OF TANGENTS?? We are so excited to celebrate our anniversary with all of you. In honor of this milestone as well as the milestones that were our 30th birthdays back in June, we decided to look up an advice article to critique. We're doing lots of reflection and thought it would be a good idea to see what another 30 something year old thinks we should be doing right now. Hea...

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! We are SO excited to introduce our new series named....Ladies & Ghosties? Terrors & Tangents? Tangents & Goosepimps? You let us know what you think it should be called but regardless of the name WE'RE SHARING YOUR GHOST STORIES! We couldn't be more excited to open up this box and learn what paranormal stories you've been carrying around. We had a hard time narrowing thes...

WHAT'S UP GOURD SQUARD! In this Tangents & True Crime we spend entirely too much time talking about everything but The Candy Man. If you're here exclusively to hear us talk about him- skip basically to the end. If you like roller coasters, fun facts and distrust the media- start from the beginning. Ciara starts by de-bunking the classic Halloween myth of strangers poisoning candy during trick-or-t...

It's officially BIRTH MONTH! These last nine months have gone by so fast, but also unbearably slow. You know how time be- not real. We have been pretty vocal about our life experiences and we're continuing the vulnerability train this week discussing where Ciara is at in her pregnancy and how we feel about our experiences with pregnancy, postpartum and recovery. Society has done a number on our vi...

It’s that time again! We’re sharing your scandals and this week is not for the faint of heart- not because the content is any more of less insane than usual (you guys always deliver *chefs kiss* stories) but because our adhd is heightened to a new level. Like we almost want to suggest watching at a slower speed because of how quickly we speak and jump topics. It’s a lot so sorry- it was the caffei...

On last weeks episode we went through the 7 stages of trauma bonding and start this week off explaining how intermittent reinforcement links to love bombing and continues toxic cycles within relationships. Sounds super jargon-y, we know but we break it down using mice and pellets life real scientists. We also cover the 5 stages of accepting that you are in a trauma bond and some encouragement for...

CW - toxic relationships, emotional & physical This is a tough one. In today's episode we discuss something that has been one of our most highly requested topics, trauma bonding. We know the world is heavy right now, but something we've realized is that in order to feel lighter ourselves, we must first identify the weight we're carrying around. Through this discussion, which SURPRISE went way long...

On our constant quest to understand why tf our minds do what they do, we took a pit stop in Imagination Land- specifically Imaginary Friend...Town? You get it. This isn't an actual quest and we aren't actually stopping. I've over thought this entirely too much already. ANYWAY - please enjoy one theory of where they come from, their assumed purpose and several terrifying and curious examples of ima...

This weeks Tangents & True Crime is about an ongoing injustice that has caused years of generational trauma on Indigenous families in North America. We want to take this opportunity to amplify this tragedy in hopes to bring awareness. If the subjects of this story are triggering to you, please prioritize yourself and skip this episode. Your mental health is always what matters most. We hope that t...

It was after an hour in a hyper fixation on funny 911 calls that I realized that some of them (most of them) weren't even real. Too much time had already been spent to abandon the notation so this is essentially us reading a script from a Netflix show. Please enjoy as we attempt to re-enact funny 911 calls- with a sprinkle of a history of the how the number came about. You're probably more interes...

100 EPISODES!! If we’re honest- we never ever thought we’d get here and we certainly did think we’d have so many of you hanging out with us. We are more grateful to you than we can even begin to say and hope you enjoy this virtual sleepover where we continuously squeal, sniff, cry and laugh while sharing your messages. We did our best to integrate the audio but some sections may still be a little...

It's that time again! We asked you to send in your hometown/workplace scandals and once again, you did not disappoint! If you can sit through 30 minutes of tangents and Love is Blind talk, you'll be handsomely rewarded with stories of mystery & mehr-dehr! That's murder spelled phonetically to read like you have a french accent and I don't think it translates well but you're not here for top tier d...
