Monologuing

It’s our annual spooky episode, and these are real. I’m reading your ghost stories — haunted dorms, sleep paralysis demons, weird voices, and moments that defy logic. If you needed a sign to believe in something beyond this world, this is it.   Thanks for tuning in to Monologuing — where your drama becomes my monologue. Whether you’re here for the gossip, the giggles, or just to hear me overshare,...

Life lately: I went to Texas, I laughed, I ate way too much pasta, and now I’m catching up with you. Then we dive into your October gossip — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortably hilarious.   Thanks for tuning in to Monologuing — where your drama becomes my monologue. Whether you’re here for the gossip, the giggles, or just to hear me overshare, I’m so glad you pulled up a seat. If you enjoy th...

In this episode, listeners confess their most delayed moments of clarity — the things they somehow went years without realizing. Like the fact that iced tea is literal tea, or that rotating your tires doesn’t mean spinning them around for fun. Proof that common sense is a lifelong journey.   Thanks for tuning in to Monologuing — where your drama becomes my monologue. Whether you’re here for the go...

It’s that time of year: everything smells like cinnamon, everyone has a “cozy” recommendation, and I am here to overshare mine. From comfort recipes to binge-worthy shows to products that make me feel like an autumnal Martha Stewart, I’m spilling it all. Listeners chimed in too—so think of this as an extended group chat where we all compare notes on how to survive daylight savings with snacks and...

This week’s episode is all about MLMs — but not in the way they’d want. I asked listeners to send in their funniest encounters, and the results did not disappoint. From wild recruitment attempts to the bizarre twists that only these “business opportunities” can deliver, these stories are proof that reality is sometimes stranger (and funnier) than fiction. Grab your headphones and get ready to laug...

We get it—the news is bleak, your screen time report is judging you, and the world feels like it’s one long group chat full of bad vibes. So this week, we’re taking a hard left turn into objectively good things: like discovering forgotten money in your pocket, or realizing your “imaginary outfit” looks even better in real life. Plus, listeners share the whimsical little rituals that keep them sane...

We’re doing something a little different this week—a Q&A episode! I rounded up your questions and I’m answering them all, from the random curiosities to the things you’ve been dying to know. Think of this as a casual backstage pass where you get to peek behind the curtain and hang out with me for a bit.   Thanks for tuning in to Monologuing — where your drama becomes my monologue. Whether you’...

This week, we’re monologuing our way through the chaos that brews closest to home: the neighborhood. Every street has its stories, every cul-de-sac its whispers, and every “community update” spirals into pure entertainment. From the Facebook page rants that light up your phone at midnight, to a board of education member getting arrested, to extramarital affairs that somehow become public knowledge...

Sharpen your pencils and pack your lunchables—today we’re diving into Back to School Horror Stories! From puking your way through the morning bus ride to breaking bones in the name of recess glory (yep, one unlucky listener snapped their tailbone and then kept it to themse), we’re reliving the school-day disasters that still make us laugh and cringe in equal measure. Think of it like group therapy...

We asked, and you delivered: this week, listeners are spilling their most cringeworthy “Why did I say that?!” moments. From the horror of accidentally sexting your boss, to blurting out unfiltered exclamations in front of your boyfriend’s grandma, to screaming at innocent customers without meaning to—these stories are proof that sometimes our mouths run way faster than our brains. Tune in for seco...

This week, I dive headfirst into the chaotic corporate fever dream that is LinkedIn Lunatics. From insane 4 a.m. morning routines to those definitely-fake “my 3-year-old looked up from their Legos and said…” stories, I’m reading some of the funniest posts the subreddit has to offer. It’s hustle culture meets Hallmark Channel, with a dash of delusion. Basically, if LinkedIn were a reality show, thi...

I'm back! Curtain up on the very first act of Monologuing — same voice, new marquee, and an encore of unsolicited opinions. We open with a little prologue (aka my life update), before the lights dim and we dive into the August edition of The Rumor Mill. Listeners did not hold back this month: surgeons caught cheating, coworkers headed to prison, and enough petty drama to keep your group chat buzzi...

Everyone has that one thing in their backstory that makes people say, “Wait… what?!” In this episode, listeners wrote in with the craziest pieces of their personal lore — from someone who ate their twin in the womb (yes, really) to a moose attack that turned into a core memory. It’s unhinged, it’s chaotic, it’s the kind of episode that’ll make you rethink how boring your own life is. Thanks for li...

This week, we're diving into the unfiltered chaos that is children speaking their minds. Listeners wrote in with the wildest, weirdest, and most wildly inappropriate things kids have said to them—and it’s equal parts hilarious and deeply humbling. From a 6-year-old loudly pointing out your acne ("Are those mosquito bites?") to a kindergartener casually discussing the concept of death like they're...

Long overdue catch-up and the sharing of our summer favorites! You wrote in with the meals you’re obsessed with, the books you’re reading at the beach, the TV shows that have taken over your life, and the products that have earned a permanent spot in your tote bag.

In today’s episode, we dive headfirst into the internet’s favorite moral battleground: Reddit’s Am I the Asshole? thread.

Spoiler: it’s usually everyone. Thanks for listening besties! As always I'm so appreciative of you follo...

The sun is out, the tea is scalding, and our inbox is overflowing with gossip that could melt your SPF 50. In this very special June edition of listener submissions, you're spilling it all — from throuples gone wrong to murder (?!), and everything in between. It’s messy. It’s chaotic. It’s deeply unhinged. Just the way we like it. Strap in, sip something cold, and prepare to question humanity — or...

As always I'm so appr...

We asked you to confess your silliest, most harmlessly toxic traits — and you delivered. From thinking you'd be the best surfer despite never having seen the ocean, to Googling the end of a movie 10 minutes in (because suspense is overrated), this episode is full of the quirks that make us laugh, cringe, and say “same.” Tune in as we read your submissions, roast ourselves a little, and embrace the...

This week, we have a rather lengthy (sorry lol!!) catch up from Mads, followed by a recap of season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Then we get into your niche anxieties!!!!
