You went too hard and too fast



We’re starting off today with some book and tv talk, and then we’re getting into RBG, conservative Christianity, single-issue voters, civil rights, abortion…it’s a lot. You can find our episode dedicated to the topic of abortion here.

We feel very passionately about politics and we’re getting into it today after a weekend where we tragically lost a hero who dedicated her entire life to our country and human rights. However, it’s never our goal to offend anyone and we try our hardest not to do that. But we ourselves disagree on many topics, and we feel that we have a responsibility to discuss what’s important and relevant to women, even if it causes some discomfort.

Here’s a little more info on our discussion about the origins of the religious right rallying around abortion.

It Sounded Like A Good Idea At The Time

What have I learned about myself? Nothing good.



Guess who’s back?? (If you immediately thought of Eminem, we won’t blame you.)

It’s been a long break and we’ve missed you! What a crazy few months it’s been. Some of us are thriving, and some of us…well not so much. We’ll let you listen in to see which is which, if you haven’t already guessed.

We’ve got Zoloft and Diet Dr. Pepper a-plenty and we’re ready to hit the ground running with season 2. We hope you’re ready for more good-turned-bad ideas!

The Science Behind Magic, with Mariah Oller



We’re back this week and we are flying high with Mariah Oller from Harvest and Moon! She’s here (in spirit, but in real life we’re all social distancing) to discuss gardening, parenting, and all things tarot and science. We had a great time with her and we hope you love it! Plus, one of us is taking the plunge and getting our cards read on-air!

A social distancing experiment, with The Batchmaker



We’re deep into stay-at-home orders and we have all the thoughts about it! We decided to experiment with our podcasting and see if we could include another (much beloved) guest on the show, and our friend Cris agreed to come on with us for a few minutes! Unfortunately, we had a snag in the audio and lost Cris about 10 minutes in, but we’re so grateful to her for giving us the time of day when we know she’s got a lot of other fish to fry. We’re your biggest fans, Cris!

If you’d like to help out the team over at the Batchhouse, head over to their Venmo and send a few bucks. Every little bit is so loved and appreciated!

Start with shame, then do checking in



We’re checking in with the feels today as most of us are knee deep in social distancing and really missing out on friendships and communication. But we’re not spending a lot of time on coronavirus today because 1) we don’t want to and 2) we have bigger fish to fry! Maybe you heard a little story about one Taylor Swift?

You won’t believe the ending



We’re here to lighten the mood, friends. It’s been a rough 800 years this week, and we heard you when you said you wanted to think about anything other than a virus. So plug in your earbuds and take your mind off of it for a bit!

Here’s the article we talked about regarding Lady Gaga’s new boyfriend.

I listen at 1.75, with Heather Garfield



We’re sitting down with our friend and chief medical correspondent of the pod Heather Garfield to talk about when relationships go awry, the signs that shouldn’t be ignored, and what friends and family on the outside looking in can do to help. You can hear more from Heather on Instagram @healthy.happy.heatherg.

Are you a racist in a box, are you a racist wearing socks



A listener recently asked us to discuss our thoughts on manners, and we happily obliged! We also got into it about Love is Blind, The Man, and a few other items happening with women and the general public (*ahem* like a quick 5 seconds about politics).

One thing we touched on was this article, which answers the question that we toss back and forth, which is “what do we do if we don’t like the nominee?” The perspective here is on point.

We also talked about this twitter thread, re: what happens if you voted for someone who then dropped out of the race. Similarly, here’s a note from our own Senator Jeff Jackson supporting ranked voting, which would solve this problem moving forward.

You’re doing enough



Happy Wednesday! It’s mid-February, and we thought we’d just sit down and check in. How’s it going? January was tough! And sometimes you need to air it out with your girlfriends.

We’re touching on the NBA All-Star weekend, the Primaries, our bff’s over at Mattel (and their future on the big screen) and more. So tune in and relax and as always, let us know what you think.

If you want to get your panties in a bunch, start there.



If you didn’t watch the Oscar’s, don’t worry because we’re breaking it down today. Check out these performances by Janelle Monae and Idina Menzel that we have been obsessing over.

We also can’t get over this ad for postpartum care by Frida. Do better, ABC!

Note: we read further and we now understand that supposedly any feminine hygiene commercial wouldn’t be allowed to air during the Oscar’s. It does not change our overall opinion that the policy is crap.

Also: when we recorded this episode, Andrew Yang had not yet dropped out of the presidential race. Since then, he has dropped out and said he would consider a cabinet position with another candidate. Feel free to start coming to us for the hard-hitting news BEFORE it happens.

Caroline took this quiz to find out that she’s Bloomberg’s #1 fan, and Hannah is constantly pushing this site on everyone so we can all find out who we should be voting for. Get to quizzing!

One thing we love to do is revisit a topic that we feel like deserves more attention, and that’s what we’re doing this week. Last week we discussed the Super Bowl halftime show, and this week we’re asking ourselves what the difference is between that performance and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show. As always, we have a lot of thoughts.
