Ladies & Tangents

Valentine's day is the perfect time for us to bring out another fan favorite submission episode. Ho-rror stories just may be the OG "we listen and we don't judge." While we may not be judging, we are learning and we are doing better. We are still accepting $250 from that guy who disappeared one day to become a cowboy, though. That's not going to change.

Groundhog's Day has been a special day in our family for 32 years as it happens to be the day Ciara became a big sister (Happy Birthday, TayTay!) On today's episode, we decided to finally find out why the rest of the world makes such a big deal out of February 2nd. Turns out, it's way more fun than we thought. You may know about Phil, but are you aware of his knob or his rival Trash Heap Chuck? Ok...

We haven't told you stories since last year, can you believe it? It should be a crime. Speaking of crimes this episode has multiple. We've got happy endings, unknown endings and an ending that involves birds screaming- like actual birds not the british slang word for women.

You’ll be just as shocked as we were to learn that after 5 years with mics, two diagnoses and a very clear theme of tangents- we have never actually had an episode on ADHD. We may have spent years and years exhibiting all of the traits, but only now have we broken down what it really looks like to be a person with a differently functioning brain.

Have you ever heard of inheritance powder? No? What about an elixir that drips straight from the bones of St. Nicholas? Not that one either? In the 1600’s you could call it whatever you want, as long as you keep it quiet. Thanks to the big brain work of women in Italy, quick trip to the apothecary is all you need to purchase your freedom from a life as property, I mean holy matrimony. In this epis...

We had so much fun reflecting on what the internet had predicted for our 2024 that we decided it was only fitting to see what the stars and algorithms believe are in store for us for 2025. It may come as surprise to absolutely no one that the universe and co-star agree, everything's coming up CiCi and Jeri will have to endure more self inflicted chaos. One of us is vehemently rejecting their predi...

Our longest running tradish strikes again. Before 2024 breathes its last breath and 2025 kool-aid man's in to blow our backs out, we invite you to pause with us in the inbetween. There's so much to reflect on when the jump from '23 to '24 was this aggressive.  WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangents.com/live-show WE’RE ON CAMEO - https://www.cameo.com/ladiesandtangents WE'RE ON PATREON...

There's a very good chance that the traditions shared in this episode have been covered in years past. Luckily for the two idiots on the couch, our minds resemble those of gold fish and we often forget what we've discussed on here. Luckily part two for us, Ciara did remember just how much we loved a middle school band concert and brought us a little treat to enjoy at the beginning of the episode....

The title of this episode is somewhat misleading- not the so poopy so dead part, that's actually bizarrely accurate but if you're having trouble figuring out how those things connect to the holidays, know you're not alone. Ciara typed *christmas* into the email search bar and for whatever reason, death was a central theme. While poop wasn't mentioned as much, it still is our podcast so there's no...

It isn't often that a meme works it's way into everyday vernacular, but once in a while, when all the stars align, iconic phenomena such as The Florida Man becomes a universally known marvel. Without any context at all, you've already created an image in your head and it is an unhinged one at that. We've found some top tier Florida Man/Woman stories that are sure to reinforce that picture you've j...

Something has changed within us, something is not the same…that’s right. We’re not regular ladies anymore, we’re wicked women. Somehow we remained completely oblivious to the storyline of the musical for the entire 30 years of its existence and now, much like everyone else who has entered the universe of Oz, it is now our entire personality. Hangout while we deep dive into the history of one of th...

If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to work while experiencing global agony. I don't thi...

It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.  WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangents.com/live-show WE’RE ON CAMEO - https://www.cameo.com/ladiesandtangents WE'RE ON PATRE...

Since we have 4 more years of yelling into the abyss, we're assuming you won't mind if we go ahead and take the first 30 minutes to do a mental health check in before diving into an incredibly thorough DYSBT google doc. As much as we want to be all peepee, poopoo, hehe, haha- as people, we're not ready yet and we know some of you aren't yet either. So let's sit in those feelings for just a little...

Regardless of when you listen, the day this episode goes live is election day and it isn't just any election day. Today is a day that could go down in history as the first time that the United States of America elect a woman into its highest office in the land. As we know, she isn't the first woman to run for president, but I think what might shock some of us is learning exactly when the first fem...

On this exact day, 5 years ago, we nervously hit launch on an episode titled "Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - The Salem Witch Trials," and our lives were changed forever. We always said that we would continue the podcast as long as it brought us joy, but we certainly didn't know just how much joy it would bring us. For half a decade, this hobby turned job turned passion has brought us a...

Playlist of the Dead: An All-Star Halloween Special Six Strangers. One Cursed Playlist. Ultimate Power—or Certain Death. Drawn by a mysterious letter promising the power to control an army of the dead, six strangers arrive at a hidden location with a single task: survive a binge-listening session unlike any other. Their key to unlocking this dark magic? The Necronomicon iPod, a macabre piece of te...

If you’ve ever considered making an episode a drinking game, let it be this one. We made it easy by spontaneously going down an astrology wormhole and repeatedly said the word astrocartography. We said it so much that it doesn’t feel like a real word. It also may not be a real word according to the red squiggly line that’s currently under it. Once we finished flirting with our AI spiritual guide,...

We can't confirm, but we may have set a new record with this episode. Our first full week home after tour proved to be full of life, laughter and October lagers and because of that, it took us approximately 60 minutes to get to the actual topic of this episode. We may be biased, but the first 60 are definitely worth the listen, so if you're a "skip ahead to the point" kind of listener...well, in t...

It’s finally October, so we had to bring you an all ghost story episode! If there’s one thing we know about you all, it’s that you’re spooky mfers who know how to tell a story. Grab a snack, some water and turn all of the lights on and enjoy these creepy accounts!

We know that you come to us for important, meaningful, deep, thoughtful conversations and so when we sat down on the couch this week, we vowed to bring you just that. Lol opposite day- we're taking Buzzfeed quizzes to find out what kind of soup we are.

We have somehow found ourselves as the honorary weird history retellers and today's tale couldn't be weirder. Seriously, this tale includes tails and they're six feet tall and exploding into the sky. You have questions? So do we. I can't promise we'll answer them all but what I can promise is that no living whales were harmed in the making of this episode.  WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladies...

After being lowkey bullied on tour during meet and greets about taking a break, we succumbed to peer pressure and did not record a new episode for this week. We are unable to fully skip, so our compromise is piecing together patreon episodes from this year for you to enjoy. Shit gets weird after dark...   Truly thank you for being so supportive and thoughtful. You never let us forget that we're hu...

We've been called vulnerable for almost 5 years now, and for 5 years, we've said thank you and nodded like we understood what that really meant. Another word that also falls into the "just nod and smile" category? Resilience. Two weeks ago we had a conversation online that we all agreed should have been an off camera moment, however the response we received led us here to an episode we've wanted t...
