Ladies & Tangents

TW- ED, Childhood Trauma  It's Hispanic Heritage month and we asked our facebook group to give us some inspo about a topic where we could highlight and celebrate Hispanic history and culture. SO many requested The Chicano Movement. It is no surprise that we hadn't heard of it before and had essentially 0 frame of reference. This is us sharing what we learned with you! Please feel free to continue...

We're bringing this episode to you straight from the newly finished hole! Relax by the fireplace with us and be soothed by the sweet sounds of screaming cicadas and the air conditioner as we recap our trip to see Trixie & Katya and finish with a mental health check in. Contrary to a lot of our previous check-in's, we're doing surprisingly well thanks to more intensive therapy and a healthier work...

We're diving back into our mental health ish with this one. You ever use a word so frequently that you feel like you know what it means, but when prompted, you're like...."i feel like I know the gist, but now that you ask- idk sh*t about d*ck?" That perfectly describes our experience with the word *codependency.* Follow along as two absolute idiots discuss the words of an educated doctor and try t...

Who remembers that we had an AITAH submission form? Not me! But luckily after a bit of a whoopsie that resulted in a black eye and a mild concussion, Ciara showed up and saved the day with some of your entries! I don't know that we'll ever be able to call our listeners AHoles, so here is an episode of validation and "you're doing great, sweeties." WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangent...

The second official installment of our new favorite series is finally here! This is sharing your Ho(rror) Stories 2.0! Per usual, you guys sent some absolute bangers in and for whatever reason, poop was a reoccurring theme. Not sure where in the world that came from...couldn't be one of our main character traits or anything. WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangents.com/live-show WE’RE O...

CW- Childhood Trauma, Ab*se, Addiction This video is the equivalent of when a DJ says "we're going to slow it down for a couple songs" after playing dance bangers for 15 minutes straight. We're back in therapy so that means you're back in therapy and this week we discovered (the incredibly misleadingly named)- Magical Thinking. In short, the recipe for this sweet little coping skills reads as such...

We asked you to send us your hot takes and we fished them out of a pancake bowl. These opinions are all over the place. I'm talking one second we're discussing bodily autonomy and the next we're talking mad smack about cake. This is an extra long episode because you know we love to give an opinion! Let us know your hot takes for potential future episodes or what your thoughts are on the ones we sh...

It's everyone's favorite episode- the one where we share the absurd, scandalous and shocking stories you've submitted. We've got everything from ghost stories to poop stories and everything in between. What's in between ghosts and poop? Great question. The answer is either meatballs or condoms on a basketball. We'll let you be the judge. WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangents.com/live...

This has been an episode nearly 12 years in the making. We are so excited to share with you a conversation with Reginald Lewis The Soul Teacher - Celebrity psychic medium, spiritual life coach & healer. In this episode we asked Reginald questions sent in by our patreon members and he shared with us his experience and insights about growth, healing and tapping into your highest self. With meditatio...

We have often discussed how thoughts of our existence and identity plague us. The idea of how we got here, why and from where was simply the straw that threw the camel into an existential crisis. Because we are both terrified of sending our DNA to undisclosed businesses, it seemed as if we'd always wonder how in the actual f word did our gene pool create the two of us in the same family. Turns out...

Once again, you brought the most incredible literary masterpieces into our inbox. The prompt this time? Ho Stories, or as we're titling it Ho-rror stories because frankly, some of these are sketchy. We've got rodeo clowns, three-legged cats and impromptu country songs. We are absolutely honored to have the audience that we do and to bond with you over these terrible inter(course)-actions. WE'RE GO...

The episode says it's about Yelp Reviews, but it's more chit-chat catch uppy than Yelp Review-y. If you're here for the tangents and topic trails, then this is the episode for you! We also must know- are you a reviewer? Are you a *spend my free-time writing fictional reviews*-er? And if you're not, what color flag are we giving the people that are? WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangen...

We've finally seen how the other half of the country and tax bracket lives and we came back to our Ohio basement to tell you all about. You'll be shocked to know that this is the furthest we've traveled together and most time we've spent alone since our parents forgot us on the beach that one time. Just kidding. That didn't happen....  If you were still deciding whether you were a Jeri or a Ciara,...

53 years ago queens, queer, gay and trans humans from all walks of life stopped playing by the ridiculous rules that society and the patriarchal government placed on them and rose up to claim their rightful place in the sun. On this anniversary of the first Pride, we are honored and excited to tell you about The Stonewall Uprising. Happy f*cking Pride, everyone!! Let’s virtually start a kick line...

It's pride month and we are so excited to talk allyship, transitioning & the humanity of individuality. We invited Jeri's friend, James Potter, on the podcast to answer your questions about his journey of becoming who he has always wanted to be. We're so grateful that James trusted us and allowed us to share so many parts of his life. Be nice to him or we're gonna think mean things about you becau...

We know it's been a while since we've done a scandal ep because the form is filled with Bangers. Banger & Banger Incorporated, if you will. It has been almost 2 weeks since we've seen each other and we took the first 30 minutes to catch up like we do before got into the juicy goss. You're not going to want to skip any of these stories! Keep an eye out for a special flying guest as well. He really...

Ciara is on vacay and our Patrons voted we take a breakski. We decided to give you all a peak behind the curtain and see what Ladies After Dark is all about. Technically we're always after dark, but for the exclusives, we're just a smidge looser. We are so grateful to everyone who has encouraged us to take care of ourselves and add more logs to the burnout fire. Here is a throwback to a mental hea...

TW/CW at the 14:21 mark, we start to discuss current events involving violent intruders and armed assailants. This week we catch up after a week a part and recount Jeri's New York adventure before Ciara busts out the amazon reviews for us to guess. We got too excited about our summer drinks and unintentionally went to hammy town - apologies in advance for the slop. Stay tuned for a special apology...

When someone suggested we do a tier ranking episode, we decided to rank the only thing we would consider ourselves experts in - millennial nostalgia. You sent in your music, games, toys and tv shows for us to score on the scale from “eat my shorts,” to “all that and a bag of chips.” If you’re a mother Cusper on the gen x or zillennial side, you’ll still probably be able to relate to more than half...

Since our 2 Girls, 1 Ghost sleepover extravaganza was more tangents that creepy kids, we decided to combine some of our ghost story and creepy kid submissions to produce a Spooky Stories episode! We simulated what it would be like going to a scary movie or haunted house with us in both this and the exclusive episode coming out on Friday. What would that look like? Inappropriately timed jokes and u...

It is time for our annual Mother's Day Special! This year we brought on a special guest to help us share your stories - Erika from The Judgies! Erika and her husband/co-host Christian are expecting their first child and we thought it would be so kind of us to gently traumatize her before she writes a birth story of her own. We experienced some technical difficulties with this episode, but as one o...

You know that feeling at end of a long shift or a long drive where everything starts to blur together and anything can be funny? That's the kind of episode we needed this week. We took a dive into the interwebs to find stories and scripts written by "bots." We're pretty sure that in our absolute trash journalistic style that we came across the human author of these bot scripts, Keaton Patti. Put s...

CW/TW - SA, Emotional & Physical Ab*se, Homoph*bia, Transph*bia  This is one of the hardest episodes we've ever recorded, while also feeling like one of the most important episodes we've been able to record. We feel so lucky to be able to process growth with all of you and in this Faith 2.0 episode, we do just that. It has been 2 years since we recorded the first Faith episode and because of so ma...

The scandals on this ep would fall into the dramady category of a netflix playlist. There's romance, there's space travel and there's a tiny toilet in Wyoming. Buckle up because as soon as we get done recapping one of the most anticlimactic getaway weekends, we are taking you all on the ride of your life.  SPRING BREAK ON SAD B*TCH ISLAND - Hang out with us at our May 1 Momenthouse Digital Experie...

Just a couple 30 year olds going off about a Disney movie....nothing to see here. We saw the requests, we watched the movie and we are here to share some of our thoughts and opinions about the surprisingly controversial Turning Red. WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangents.com/live-show WE’RE ON CAMEO - https://www.cameo.com/ladiesandtangents WE'RE ON PATREON - patreon.com/ladiesandtang...
