The Side Chat

Happy new year, side chicks! After a wee holiday hiatus, the gals are back with a VENGEANCE - we're talking real hot girl sh*t like 2026 vision boards, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and ADULT HIP HOP DANCE CLASSES (you read that right). Plus, a SIDE CHAT so messy it likely violates an NDA involving a jilted ex and a holiday card so unhinged that it makes Lily Allen's album seem tam...

The ladies of The Side Chat are shaving their beards, braving the dentist chair, and celebrating #FartChristmas - all while getting way TOO CLOSE and breaking down a SIDE CHAT about a Jekyll-and-Hyde neighbor who cannot pick a mood. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's finally here. The episode every Side Chick has been asking for... WINTERIZING YOUR KOI POND!!! Koi me, maybe? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell And rot inside a corpse’s shell The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your do...

There comes a moment in everyone woman's life when it's time to put down childish things and instead, pick up the mantle of our fore-mothers and embrace the ancient wisdom and innate knowing that only comes with maturity: the ladies of The Side Chat have officially aged into the DWTS discourse. And honestly, it feels RIGHT** **Except for our feelings about Robert Irwin because those are most certa...

Something has taken ahold of The Side Chat - something primal, uncontrollable... something not totally of this world. An impulse that transcends simple wanting or desire. It's the urgent, undeniable NEED TO MAKE CHILI. Clearly when the ladies are without Trish, the show goes a bit off the rails. And by "off the rails" we mean topics that NPR has deemed "too mild for primetime." But if you're inter...

Dysegulators! Mount up! A rare Friday special episode of The Side Chat simply because Caitlin couldn't stop doomscrolling for 5 seconds to get the ep up any earlier. The ladies are talking about syncing up our cycles, meno-divorce, and one of the most unappetizing SIDE CHATS in the supposed name of health we've ever heard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a new week on The Side Chat but the ladies have NO TIME to play nice - Trish is literally wasting away and the clock is ticking!!! Things the gals have no time for: fitness journeys, the VMAs, and questionable decisions to eat 4 day old pad Thai with shrimp. And they DEFINITELY don't have time for a SIDE CHAT about workplace drama involving an inappropriate boss sending friendship n00ds WHATE...

This week on The Side Chat, the girls are running away from home and straight into the unsuspecting arms of Mitt Romney. Kris poses a classic question: what would you do if you won the Powerball (a whole HALF A MILLION DOLLARS*)? But it turns out, that’s hard to answer when your dreams have already come true—namely, scoring a no-contact selfie with your favorite local politician in a Walgreens par...

The ladies of The Side Chat are having a f*cking summer. In this episode: elementary school heists, why the girls didn’t marry effing losers (so much swearing - sorry Marcia), and a SIDE CHAT about a new twist on the Irish Good Bye that may or may not involve werewolves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Surprise! It’s a special Friday drop and your favorite trio is back! The ladies are getting real about the little things no one warns you about as you get older. From age spots to mustache maintenance and bikini line honesty that only happens between close friends, the girls are talking about all the things that quietly creep in with age. After Tricia shares her very unexpected past as a child dan...

It's another week on The Side Chat and Trish and Caitlin are playing 1v1 as Krissy continues her jetsetting ways ("this is going to ruin the tour... the world tour"). This episode is basically Couples Therapy except without a licensed professional to offer any real guidance or even general direction. The ladies share their strategies for getting the voices in their heads to cooperate (not now, Bri...

IT'S SEASON 3, SIDE CHICKS! The ladies of The Side Chat are back after their first week off in a full calendar year and it's truly too soon to tell if they even remember how to podcast. But they've got BIG plans for the new season including new special guests - so they had to start off strong with a mystery guest who's as wise as he is toothless - and honestly he might just be coming for the girls...

**The ladies of The Side Chat are hard at work on big plans for SEASON 3. While you wait, please enjoy this re-chat of one of our favorite past episodes.* The girls are on their fall bullsh*t as they discuss people pleasing, hurricanes, and trypophobia (this one is for the #trypoFREAKS). They also have their very first on-mic fight over a SIDE CHAT for good that leaves everyone worried about the h...

It's the Season 2 Finale and the ladies of The Side Chat are going out with a bang (and a bra)! Coming off the heels of Cait and Krissy's recent confessions about their lack of basic bra hygiene (#castironskillet), the gals are joined this week by a very special guest - Rebeka Polgar, founder of Tigers Eye - an award-winning company on a mission to design the best sports bra ever created, backed b...

This week on The Side Chat, Trish has been felled by the cruelest injustice of all: a summer cold. So Cait and Kris (and their ever-present anxiety) are left to carry the pod (and their nearly year-long streak of recording without break). Cait kicks off a fresh installment of Caitlin’s Chaos Corner, this time featuring her move - a days-long comedy of errors not for the faint of heart. From there,...

It’s Episode 20 (maybe?) and The Side Chat might just be too hot to handle this week. Caitlin’s Chaos Corner is back (was it ever even gone?) and the ladies are talking post-nursing-brain recovery, relationship slumps, and the way our kids are leaving us emotionally mangled and scrambled. After a triumphant return from the Midwestern HR lady, the gals tackle a SIDE CHAT about a post-divorce reboun...

*This episode in no way brought to you by Chuck E. Cheese* It's a monumental week on The Side Chat: the national nightmare that is Caitlin's Chaos Corner may finally be coming to an end. Cait is bringing serious Lucky Girl energy to the pod this week with a hot n fresh update on her personal housing crisis. Indeed the vibes are so good that Trish is putting out the vibe herself with an open-ended...

Calling all lucky boys and nasty girls: it's a new week on The Side Chat! And since we all know women be shopping, Tricia takes us inside a seldom discussed but nevertheless monumental motherhood milestone: shopping for new bras when you're ready to retire your nursing bras. And with new undergarments come new horrors as Cait and Krissy bond over their abject lack of care or maintenance for their...

This week on The Side Chat, Tricia joins the pod fashionably late thanks to baby bedtime battles–but fear not! Krissy and Cait are more than happy to fill the time making plans to drunkenly endorse each other for extremely unprofessional skills on LinkedIn. Over in Caitlin’s Chaos (and Asbestos) Corner™, Cait gives Krissy actual hives by making yet another offer on a house—this time, sight unseen....

Grab your Throat Coat, it's time for another episode of The Side Chat. It's Memorial Day which ironically means the girls can't remember the last time they had childcare. Tricia's flaunting that DRIP (postnasal), Krissy finally confesses she's Canadian (eh!), and Caitlin can't stop making offers on houses in the Greater Boston area. Along the way, the gals unpack why home inspections may be the ne...

It's another week of THE SIDE CHAT and the ladies are living like it's the summer of 2016–even if they can't remember how old they were at that time. Things kick off with every parent’s worst nightmare: the ER visit. Specifically, when to casually (or not-so-casually) demand a plastic surgeon to protect your kid’s future modeling career. Somewhere between the hospital and an unsolicited 3-woman st...

This week on THE SIDE CHAT, the ladies are buzzin' and beefin' as Krissy and Tricia continue their blood feud with Caitlin and the pod caught in the crossfire. But while Trish actually attends to family matters (and not of the Steve Urkel persuasion), Krissy and Cait take yet another journey to the outer limits of Caitlin's sanity thanks to what can only be described as another Biblical plague des...

It's a new week on The Side Chat and the cortisol coffers are DEPLETED thanks to the white-hot anxiety rollercoaster that is trying to sell a home. A ill-timed water leak leads to some serious waterworks–both literally and emotionally–as well as a cast of New Jersey characters parading through the pod thanks to some overzealous voice acting from Cait. Despite it all, the gals unpack (let's be hone...

The band is back together! This week on The Side Chat, Trish and Krissy officially end their beef (prayer hands) and at last the gals get a chance for a proper catch up (see also: trauma dump). Caitlin finally decides to stop vague-tweeting her life and the group dives into some major life updates, big transitions, and poor coping strategies. After escaping from Fart Jail with our baloney sandwich...
