Ladies & Tangents

What's up, everyone! We are so excited to share this bonus episode with you from US Bank. Being able to use our podcast to shine a line on inequities and injustices is one of our top priorities. The episode we're sharing with you is about people who are doing the work to make sure people in power are held accountable when it comes to creating a more equitable and diverse workplace. One of our pers...

We are so excited to hang out with you and our friends Corinne & Sabrina from the 2 Girls, 1 Ghost Podcast at our first virtual slumber party! You know we love trauma dumping and getting really real, really fast and what better way to initiate our first slumber part guests than with a game of We're Not Really Strangers! Grab your favorite beverage and play along as we navigate our eerily similar l...

This is a story all about how our patreon voted for another drunk episode. We pre-gamed harder than we thought and had to order pizza to sober up before we even started recording. Knowing this information, you can rest assured knowing that virtually none of the story is told succinctly or accurately. Please enjoy this sloppy retelling of Persephone and the pomegranate jail cell of hell.  To be a p...

Welcome to the Wish version of Two Hot Takes. If you can sit through 10 minutes of two 30 year olds trying to figure out a matchbox 20 song, you’ll be handsomely rewarded with our newest business idea and solicited opinions about your AITAH submissions!

CW- SA, Emotional & Physical Ab*use, Neglect, Miscarriage, Trauma Apologies in advance for the emotional whiplash we're giving you between this week and last week's episodes. We like to offer full service friendship around here so to counteract the drunken girls night we had last week, we thought we'd dive deep into our feels and discuss something everyone has but may not fully be aware of- trauma...

ALRIGHT ALREADY! It's been almost 3 years since we've been able to drink together and the time has come for us to fulfill one of our highest requests - we present to you, Hammered Herstory. Think Drunk History, but not so we don't get sued. We fully committed to this episode and got nice and toasty before reading through a listicle of history facts. Spoiler alert - this is your worst idea yet. WE'...

Welp- it was bound to happen. We read the results incorrectly and thought that cults won when really, the community voted for Roommate Stories! Last minute we asked for your stories and DAMN did you show up again! This is your what not to do guide for living with both strangers and friends. These stories are all over the place and will not disappoint!  WE'RE ON PATREON - www.patreon.com/ladiesandt...

It's Black History Month and we wanted to highlight an incredible story of three women who were the backbone of NASA in the 60's. We cannot wait to tell you all about Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson & Dorthy Vaughan. These people went above and beyond to break barriers for black women in STEM & the workplace in general during the civil rights movement. It is important to keep telling these stories...

HAPPY HEART DAY, LOVERS. This is our 3rd Valentine's Day Special with guys who put the Gents in Tangents, which officially makes this a tradition according to Shane. We took things up a notch this year and answered some pretty intense questions and opened up about ourselves and our relationships through the game We're Not Really Strangers. Stay until the end to hear the guys answer questions sent...

We're still calling this a scandal episode, but we've decided these are more ~WoWzA~ stories than scandals. After hearing these, you'll understand what we mean. While we're addressing the wowza stories, if anyone has any lead on who was behind the tiny plastic baby epidemic, we'd really like some answers.  WE'RE ON PATREON- www.patreon.com/ladiesandtangents WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladies...

You've been asking and we are finally ready to dive back into true crime our way! We found a tiktok (shocker) and had to do a deep dive on the unexplainable mystery that is the Pollock Sisters! There's lots of theories surrounding the events of the sisters from reincarnation to maternal imprinting, let us know what you think happened!  WE'RE ON PATREON- www.patreon.com/ladiesandtangents  FOLLOW AL...

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...
