Beth and Chelsey take on what should be an easy challenge: reading song lyrics out loud while the other tries to guess the song. Spoiler alert: it’s way harder than it sounds (and way funnier, too). Between the dramatic readings, accidental spoilers, and questionable music knowledge, chaos unfolds, especially once the hard cider kicks in. Add five tiny foster kittens climbing over everything in si...

Fall is here, and Chelsey and Beth are diving into all the cozy things: pumpkin patches, apple picking, cider sipping, and s’mores by the fire. 🍂 But in true us fashion, we somehow spiral from fall fun into a deep conversation about trust issues with men before circling right back to our happy place: hoodies, hikes, and Halloween movies. Cozy chaos at its finest. Show spoilers and some explicit l...

In this episode, we deal out a few rounds of rummy while dishing on our most cringeworthy kitchen disasters.

We revisit those meals that made us question our skills, our recipes, and sometimes our life choices. When the stories run dry, we keep playing—because finishing a gam...

This week’s episode takes a more serious turn as Chelsey opens up about something she’s never shared on the podcast before: her two-year journey with infertility.

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, with our common echo because Beth was too lazy to charge the mics… Chelsey and Beth get real (and a little ridiculous) in The Art of Avoidance, and the Messy Work of Healing From Trauma. From childhood scars to teenage drama to adulthood meltdowns, the two dive into the creative—and sometimes questionable—ways they’ve learned to cope. Beth leans int...

In this episode, we face plant into the world of ridiculous purchases while stuffing our faces with a delicious Costco pizza, because clearly cooking was never an option. Honestly it’s surprising we didn’t order $90 in DoorDash to avoid turning on the oven. We swap stories about our best and worst “slothful splurges,” from the things we bought out of sheer laziness to the ones that seemed smart un...

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth is flying solo, so it might be boring… unless you’re into video games (then it’s probably not).

This week on Chickens Are The New Kittens, we’re building dating profiles for the real stars of our lives; our 6 chaotic chickens (including the loudmouths, the bullies, and the sweet baby nuggets), our 4 cats (ranging from emotionally unavailable to aggressively affectionate), and our stinky-but-stunning dog. We don’t stop there; Beth gets a profile too, complete with her 70-something-year-old so...

After a sun-soaked Fourth of July left us dehydrated, delirious, yawning, and slightly feral, we dive headfirst into the most ridiculous round of “Would You Rather” yet. Would you rather sweat maple syrup or have spaghetti for hair? Be trailed by a full marching band or give an unsolicited speech at a stranger’s wedding? Have fries for fingers? Maybe live with a mime for a year? Wear matching best...

Chelsey loves Disney fairy tales, who doesn’t! Singing mermaids, swoony princes, and sparkly happy endings. Beth is here to ruin all of that. This episode, Chelsey gushes about her favorite stories while Beth drops the dark, twisted, occasionally horrifying origins behind them.

What if your dream job landed in your lap—would you actually take it? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the ultimate “What If” spiral, asking the big questions like: What if we met 10 years ago… or never met at all?

Over Mexican food and laughter, we cover everything from upcoming goals to dream days off—and yes, she does dodge a couple questions with her signature sass. It’s a light, upbeat ride full of...

In this upside-down episode of the Chicken Are The New Kittens, we dive headfirst into Stranger Things Monopoly — and things get weird and aggressive. Chelsey channels her inner Eleven and absolutely dominates the board, while Beth watches her properties vanish faster than Barb at a pool party. Chickens cluck, kittens meow, Beth and Chelsey snack (as usual), and Shamus spirals into sore-loser terr...

This week, we play a round (okay, many rounds) of FMK and it gets silly in the best way. From swoon-worthy celebs and comfort food classics to cursed internet trends and questionable life choices, nothing is safe. We laugh a lot, get mildly disturbed, and even shock ourselves with some of our picks. Sometimes we’re totally in sync, and other times we’re side-eyeing each other like, you seriously c...

Happy 25th episode folks!!! In this awkward episode we’re battling a weird echo in our mics, but much like our dignity, we refuse to let it go quietly. Armed with our best “sexy” voices (which mostly just sound tired and mildly unwell), we take turns whispering famous taglines from toys and snacks while the other tries to guess the product. It’s inappropriate in the weirdest possible ways; think s...

In this episode, we let Buzzfeed tackle life’s most pressing questions—like what your dessert choices say about your pet count, and which personality trait is secretly running the show. We dove headfirst into a pile of delightfully unscientific quizzes, from spotting our red flags to rating our emotional availability, and the results were as hilarious as they were a little too real. Between the la...

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, we dive into the messy world of internet morality with “Fowl Behavior - AITA”. We take turns reading four Am I the A**hole? stories and put on our judgment hats to figure out who’s being reasonable and who’s just being a petty jerk. Some situations are hilariously amazing, others hit a little deeper, and a couple might just leave you shouting at you...

In this episode, we put our friendship to the ultimate test with a game of “Friend Jeopardy”! With categories that cover our interests, goals, and more, we quiz each other on the little (and not-so-little) details that make us who we are. Do we really pay attention when the other person talks about their dreams? Can we remember the quirky facts from years of inside jokes and life updates? Does one...
