This Might Backfire Podcast

We're catching up after a crazy few weeks. Wrapping up Halloween and debating whether Christmas is here. And if you hear clicking noises... No you don't.

We’re a mess (no surprise, huh). Lost video means an audio only episode this week. Enjoy!!

You know how it goes.... we start off talking about scary prices and then get into actual things. Megan binge watched East of Eden and true crime news including the botched lethal injection and another husband out of his mind. Come join the fun and subscribe!

Part 4 and the final episode of our Conspiracy Series. This time, we're talking about the Illuminati and Hollywood, with some distractions along the way.

We're back in the studio and catching up before getting into the new Netflix series about Lizzie Borden. Then we get into this week's conspiracy topic: 9/11.

Part 2 of a two-part episode where we talk about the Mandela Effect and some of the things we remember, but of course, with distractions. This time we're on the road visiting some different coffee places while we chat.

We're starting our conspiracy series with the basics. In this episode, we talk through conspiracy theories ranging from historic to current day, including theories about missing people, fake people, Atlantis.... birds, and more. Name it and we'll talk about it. What do you think?

This week, we try a few new Oh Snap! products, introduce Louie (Megan’s dog) to the podcast, and talk about the Lindsey Clancy case and the discussion surrounding it. We also announce our upcoming Conspiracy Series, starting next month, where we’ll be covering some of the conspiracy theories people still can't stop talking about from ages ago to present day.

This week, we get into all things related to diet trends, from GLP-1s and protein to fasting, with all the debate on why people might even be doing them. We also get a little bit into inflation, the dystopian society vibe and, for reasons we can't fully explain, an unexpectedly detailed discussion about the way people itch their faces. Enjoy!

We probably should've gone to bed instead of recording... but here we are. After debating whether it's okay to eat grapes while shopping and a short little follow up on tipping culture responses, we dive into commitment. What it means, why some people thrive on it, and why others have a harder time with it. Blame it on sleep deprivation if we say too much.

This week, we're talking comfort food, condiment dealbreakers, the monthly gift that is PMS, and the debate over what's acceptable to buy secondhand. If you've ever judged someone for putting ketchup on the wrong food... or at all, welcome to the club.

Fit checks with concert merch vs Goodwill, the never ending debate about tipping in the US, pest control is a need for your sanity, and more this week. :)What's on your list of controversial topics? Inspire us.

History facts, a recent bathroom story, and an anatomy lesson... because apparently those all belong in the same conversation. This week, we cover everything from the Great Emu War to a bathroom incident that somehow leads Alison to discover Megan has a few gaps in her knowledge of female anatomy.

We're talking Love Island, what it really means to be a "girl's girl," toxic empathy, middle school fashion and makeup choices we'd rather forget, adrenaline freezes, and whatever else came up along the way. **To see pictures referenced in this episode, head over to out channel on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/@ThisMightBackfirePodcast If you've ever had a conversation...

History is either fascinating... or painfully boring, depending on which one of us you ask. This episode, we talk about Princess Diana, Marie Antoinette, the historical eras we'd actually choose to live in, and a few other moments and people that somehow made their way into the conversation.

Welcome to the very first episode of This Might Backfire Podcast! Before we dive into the stories, debates, and random rabbit holes, we figured we'd introduce ourselves. We've been friends for nearly 20 years, but we're about as different as two people can be. In this episode, you'll get to know Megan and Alison, hear how our friendship began, and learn why we thought starting a po...
