On this episode of Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda, Ashley and Kila are back with a mix of true crime chaos, personal growth, and their signature unfiltered storytelling.

First up:

🕵️‍♀️ The Latest on Daniel Martin

If you've been following the Daniel Martin saga, you know this dude is a full-blown con man with a trail of wreckage behind him. The ladies dig into:

• What they've found digging through public records

• How arrest warrants generally don't expire and can remain active indefinitely

• The absolutely ridiculous claim he made involving Jerry Jones (yes, the Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Jones)

• Why they're honestly surprised Jerry hasn't hit him with a defamation of character lawsuit

They also talk about how Jessica is still getting messages from people all over the place who've crossed paths with Daniel, and how truly insane and disturbing the pattern is.

Then the episode takes a more personal and powerful turn:

📖 Ashley Is Writing Her Memoir

Ashley opens up about starting to write her own story—not just about Daniel, but about her life, everything she's been through, and the person she's become through it all.

She shares:

• How it feels to finally put her life on paper

• Why her first draft felt like a "4.7 out of 10"

• The balance between being honest, being vulnerable, and not sugarcoating anything

• The healing (and heaviness) that comes with revisiting old wounds and turning them into something meaningful

Throughout the episode, Kila and Ashley also touch on:

• The importance of sticking to facts when talking about real people and real situations

• Advice from their lawyer on how to protect themselves while still telling the truth

• Using humor, honesty, and community to work through trauma

And because it wouldn't be Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda without it, you'll also get:

• Jail and courtroom side stories

• Dark humor in all the right (and wrong) places

• The ongoing reminder:

  👉 "We can talk shit about our mammas, but nobody else can."

If you're into real-life scam stories, women taking their power back, and raw, hilarious, honest conversation, this episode is absolutely for you.

Kila and Ashley are BACK for the first Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda episode of 2026, and of course it's pure holiday-debrief chaos in the best way. 🎙️✨

This episode is a hilarious, real, and super relatable recap of:

🎄 Christmas & Holiday Madness The ladies catch up on how Christmas really went down—

• One of the kids officially moved into her first apartment (hello adulting 👏)

• Christmas gifts turned into crockpots, cleaning supplies, and stuff that screams: "I'm grown now"

• Stockings, spending, and wondering if they're nailing it as moms or totally winging it

🧝‍♂️ Elf on the Shelf Drama They go all in on:

• Why Elf on the Shelf is a personal attack on moms

• How nobody warned them they needed to shove wire inside the elves to make them pose

• Last-minute elf hacks like Velcro hands and pure desperation If you've ever forgotten to move the elf until 6am, this one's for you.

🏰 Disney vs Universal & The Big Trip Reveal The kids' big Christmas surprise?

A trip to Disney and/or Universal. Kila and Ashley break down:

• Universal vs Disney – which is better for teens, big kids, and chaos

• The pressure of giving your kids "magical memories" while your bank account is screaming • How different it feels raising kids now vs growing up on layaway and one big tree gift

💸 "Y'all Are Rich" – When Kids See Your Life Differently The funniest moment?

A little cousin comes over, sees the pool, stairs, and TVs and declares: "I want to live here. Y'all are RICH."

Meanwhile, Kila and Ashley are like, "We're just tired and on payment plans."

They talk about:

• How kids define being "rich"

• The weird guilt of doing better than how you grew up

• Remembering that what feels normal now would've felt like luxury back then

🧹 Officially Old & Loving It They also confess their favorite gifts this year were:

• A fancy green carpet shampooer

• A heat gun

• And a pink mini fridge

If cleaning gadgets and home stuff excite you more than jewelry at this point—you're in the right place. This episode is funny, honest, and the perfect New Year kickoff for anyone trying to juggle kids, money, expectations, and a little bit of magic (with a lot of sarcasm).

On this episode of Raising Barbara Jean & Wanda, Kila and Ashley are in full storytelling mode with an episode that's equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, disgusting (you'll see 👀), and downright sweet. They kick things off talking about Delilah – yes, the late-night radio legend – and how her voice was the emotional soundtrack of the 90s. That memory throws them straight back into childhood: long car rides, fireworks on bridges, "crying, loving, or leaving" on 95.5, and even remembering exactly where they were the day Tupac died. It's a deep dive into those oddly specific core memories that never leave you.

From there, the conversation hits all over:

• 🎙️ Delilah, radio nights & 90s nostalgia – calling in for love advice, listening to strangers air out their relationships, and wondering how in the world she just went viral on TikTok now.

• 🧠 Mom guilt & judgment – talking about how quick people are to judge moms (especially online), from smoking to how they parent, while never offering real help or support.

• 📱 TikTok creators vs real-life memories – unpacking the weirdness of people filming everything for content instead of just living in the moment, and the pressure it puts on "regular" moms who are just trying to survive the day.

• 🤢 The most disgusting bus story ever told – featuring the greenest, longest booger and a man on the verge of throwing up. If you've got a weak stomach, consider this your warning… but also, it's absolutely hilarious.

• 👑 Pageant life & little girl wins – a sweet story about helping a little girl get ready for a competition, doing her hair and makeup, nerves and all—and her priceless reaction to winning "two of them stick things and some flowers" (aka TROPHIES).

• 💒 Cassie's wedding chaos – Kila's sister Cassie is officially a married woman, and the recap does not disappoint. From getting ready at the event space, doing hair and makeup, hyping Cassie up like the queen she is, to all the emotional, funny, and chaotic moments only a family wedding can bring—this segment is pure gold.

They close things out with some holiday talk—being grateful, dealing with family, and of course the great debate: stuffing vs dressing (spoiler: it's dressing around here 🦃).

If you love:

• Southern storytelling

• Real talk about motherhood & mental load

• 90s nostalgia (Tupac, Delilah, radio love lines)

• TikTok culture critiques

• Wedding chaos & family comedy …this episode is absolutely your vibe.
