Can You Still Be Funny? Comedians, Cancel Culture & Hot Takes 12.01.2026 51:11
The Karens are tackling comedians, cancel culture, and who’s actually allowed to be funny anymore —and yes, things get heated. Amanda struggles through pronouncing names, facts are definitely up for debate, and no one is claiming to be an expert… but the opinions are loud and confident anyway. From controversial jokes to comedy backlash and where the line might be (or might not exist at all), the...

It’s the Karens’ first episode of 2026 , and we’re doing what everyone does in January—talking fitness goals… with honesty.

Some of us are all in, some of us are skeptical, and some of us believe Taco...

Through the good, the hard, and everything in between...
Australia Banned Social Media… Would That Ever Fly in America? 22.12.2025 34:00
Australia just made a move that has the internet spiraling — a social media ban aimed at protecting kids and teens. The Karens are not staying quiet about it. In this episode, they dig into what’s actually happening in Australia, whether a ban like this could ever work in the U.S., and where personal freedom, parenting, government control, and Big Tech all collide. Opinions are strong and the deba...
The Age of Disclosure: Are We Emotionally Prepared for Aliens? 15.12.2025 55:26
What if the government finally told us everything ? In this episode of The Karens, we go full extraterrestrial and ask the questions everyone’s afraid to answer: could society actually handle full alien disclosure?

Inflation Is Out of Control: The Karens React to Today’s Wild Prices 08.12.2025 47:32

Inflation has struck again—Amanda’s dry shampoo is suddenly a luxury item, Susan’s fast-food sandwich came with a side of sticker shock, and everything from groceries to self-care feels like it requires a small loan. In this hilarious episode, the Karens compare prices, share their most outrageous stories, and wonder when everyday life got so expensive. Laugh, re...
The Karens vs. Thanksgiving: Stuffed with Opinions 01.12.2025 33:51

Beauty, Botox & Bad Decisions 17.11.2025 54:34
The Karens are taking on the wild, weird, and occasionally wonderful world of beauty trends—what they’ve tried, what they refuse to try, and which ones they think are just straight-up ridiculous. From super-long nails that make basic tasks Olympic-level challenges, to fillers that somehow make everyone look related, to the magical universe of Korean skincare (where the toner has a toner ), nothing...
The Karens Talk AI: Will Robots Take Over the World (and Our Jobs)? 10.11.2025 38:15
The Karens are talking all things AI — including the assistant that made a phone call without permission , a fully automated McDonald’s, and an AI ad so bad it broke the internet. Can humans still do it better? Tune in as the Karens decide which jobs (and people) might make it through the robot revolution — and which ones are getting replaced by a talking toaster.
The Karens and the Road Rage Chronicles 03.11.2025 37:12

This week, they dive into UFO sightings, government cover-ups, and whether aliens are already among us. From E.T. to Independence Day , the Karens share their favorite extraterrestrials, swap theories about what’s really out there, and debate if the truth is being kept from us. It’s curious, hilar...

The Karens take on San Francisco’s wildest weekend — The Folsom Street Fair.

Privilege: Let’s Talk About the Stuff We Don’t Talk About 04.08.2025 33:58
This week on The Karens , we’re having an honest conversation about privilege — the obvious kinds, the invisible ones, and everything in between. From race, income, and gender to how you were raised and where you live, we’re unpacking how privilege shows up in our lives (even when we don’t realize it) and how it intersects with hard work, opportunity, and identity. We’re not claiming to have all t...
The One Where We Got Scammed 28.07.2025 28:34

Scams don’t just happen to the gullible — they happen to ev...
