Awkward Encounters

Where do we even begin with this chaos? In this episode of Awkward Encounters , Blonde Meghan returns as our “esteemed” guest with an unexpected cameo from Red Megan; because apparently one Meg(h)an simply isn’t enough. Meanwhile, Laura bravely tackles the true struggle of our time: names. Specifically, why every man she’s ever met is somehow named Ben…or Fen…or Bin…or Bem…or Dave (??). Are these...

This week on  Awkward Encounters , we prove once again that social grace is… optional. First up, we spiral over something that should be simple: telling time. If you’ve ever confidently said the wrong time out loud and had to just stand in it- welcome. Then, things take a dark turn on an otherwise peaceful walking trail. Carrie encounters not one, but multiple dead animals and somehow manages to m...

There was no adult supervision in the making or releasing of this episode. And because this podcast exists primarily for our own amusement, the bullshit has been left in. Enjoy the nonsense! I swear, the longer we pod, the worse we get. Another episode to be recorded THIS WEEK! So, while we may be rough to listen to, we never give up. Bahaha! And THAT my friends, is what keeps us awkward.

Welcome back to another episode of Awkward Encounters! This episode, we talk about Thanksgiving chaos, Piper's most embarrassing moments in the airport, confidently calling someone by the very wrong name, and a classic tale of bastard thumbs on social media- but this time- it wasn't Carrie. Follow, Like, Subscribe. And for the love of all things unholy- email us your awkward encounters at...

Picking up where we left off with last episode's dark humor, Laura and Carrie manage to make funerals look more like a blooper reel. And we toss in a few tales from some other people we know who had their own awkward encounters at funerals, proving that it's not just us that should come with warning labels that read, "No Social Skills". And because no episode is complete without...

Welcome to Awkward Encounters with Dark Humor- the episode where no one is emotionally prepared for a comedic therapy session. Laura and Carrie are choosing dark humor with heart this week because sometimes the only way to process love, loss, and emotional demolition is to laugh. Pull up a chair, pour a drink, and join us as we turn our tragedies into stories that make you question if you should b...

We're back from Nashville with a suitcase full of stories, pictures, and questionable interactions that make us still want to crawl under our barstools. And, Carrie slides into the DMs of a familiar face via slippery thumb and a truly cursed avatar emoji. Tune into this bonus episode for laughs, mild humiliation, and possibly the best awkward encounter to date. Follow us on socials @awkwardenc...

This week we trace our tendency to overshare back to its source- turns out one of our parents passed it down. We share a quick awkward girl math moment before diving into our main event... awkward encounters with law enforcement! Follow us on socials  @awkwardencounterspod  and email us at  awkwardencounterspod@gmail.com  if you want to be a special guest or have your awkward story featured on the...

We're getting ready for spooky season by sharing our run-ins with ghosties in our work and homes! Of course, in our true nature, Laura starts and ends the episode strong with some drink mishaps and... wouldn't you know it... technical difficulties.

We're back after a digital fiasco but coming in hot with a trifecta of Awkward Encounters! Strap in for a wifi blunder but we PROMISE you, if you get past the into, the rest is GOLD! You'll get the scoop of when Carrie makes things uncomfortable in the frozen foods aisle. Then we get the dirt on a muddy mess with a neighbor. AND FEATURING the original awkward encounter, "The Arguable...

Welcome to Awkward Encounters! In our very first episode you will awkwardly meet our dogs before us, because, why not? Carrie shares the story of how she fumbled a simple bread pick-up (from a friend, no less), and Laura's here to *toast* her for it. This is your official welcome to the kind of chaos you can expect from us regularly. If you like sister banter, secondhand embarrassment, and stories...
