Chickens Are The New Kittens

Chelsey loves Disney fairy tales, who doesn’t! Singing mermaids, swoony princes, and sparkly happy endings. Beth is here to ruin all of that. This episode, Chelsey gushes about her favorite stories while Beth drops the dark, twisted, occasionally horrifying origins behind them. Think Sleeping Beauty’s non-consensual nap and awakening, Ariel dissolving into sea foam (or does she?), and a stepmom pi...

What if your dream job landed in your lap—would you actually take it? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the ultimate “What If” spiral, asking the big questions like: What if we met 10 years ago… or never met at all?

Chickens cluck, kittens meow, Beth and Chelsey snack (as usual), and Shamus spirals into sore-loser terr...

This week, we play a round (okay, many rounds) of FMK and it gets silly in the best way. From swoon-worthy celebs and comfort food classics to cursed internet trends and questionable life choices, nothing is safe. We laugh a lot, get mildly disturbed, and even shock ourselves with some of our picks. Sometimes we’re totally in sync, and other times we’re side-eyeing each other like, you seriously c...

Happy 25th episode folks!!! In this awkward episode we’re battling a weird echo in our mics, but much like our dignity, we refuse to let it go quietly. Armed with our best “sexy” voices (which mostly just sound tired and mildly unwell), we take turns whispering famous taglines from toys and snacks while the other tries to guess the product. It’s inappropriate in the weirdest possible ways; think s...

In this episode, we let Buzzfeed tackle life’s most pressing questions—like what your dessert choices say about your pet count, and which personality trait is secretly running the show.

Between the la...

Some situations are hilariously amazing, others hit a little deeper, and a couple might just leave you shouting at you...

Get ready to laugh until you cry as we chew on jelly beans and explore the wildly inappropriate world of Horrible Therapist. In this episode, we play the game for the first time—and let’s just say, the card combos were absolutely unhinged.

In this episode, we scroll back through years of old text messages and DMs and try to guess which one of us said what—and wow, what a journey. From heartfelt check-ins to completely unfiltered rants about zits, poop, and farts, it’s a ridiculous and unexpectedly sweet trip down memory lane. We laughed (a lot), cringed (more than we’d like to admit), and were reminded of just how much life we’ve na...

In this episode, we take a hilarious deep dive into the black hole that is our video feeds. One minute, we're watching a simple workout tutorial, and the next, we’re knee-deep in dancing maids, lesbians with carabiners, and homesteaders raising chickens or fighting off emus. How does this happen?! We break down the magic (or madness) of the algorithm, laugh at the absolute randomness of our pages,...
