We Weren't Ready for This… But We're Figuring It Out.

At some point, the roles start to shift—and suddenly you're the one worrying, checking in, and making decisions for the people who raised you. In this episode, we talk honestly about parenting our parents, navigating aging, guilt, boundaries, and the emotional whiplash that comes with it. It's complicated, heavy at times, and surprisingly common—so if you're in this season too, you're not alone.

We're exposing our toxic traits — the funny, slightly unhinged habits we know we should fix… but probably won't. From free shipping to being way too messy, we're breaking down the red flags we bring to the table in this candid, hilarious episode.

It's funny. It's honest. It's the good kind of chaos.
And yes, we're probably going to forget we recorded this until someone quotes us in the DMs.

Happy New Year, friends! We're kicking off 2026 with a little truth and a lot of laughter: our morning routines are chaotic good energy.

In this episode, Michele and Sarah look at how they actually start their mornings this time of year—what's working, what's wishful thinking, and which routines we'll probably keep… at least for now.

Inside we're chatting about:

Why we'd need a full 12-hour morning to fit in everything we want to do
The tension between "ideal" and "real" routines—and why both matter
The habits we love (and the ones that secretly stress us out)
Some happy new year wishes for you, from two women trying their best and laughing through the mess

This is a cozy, honest start to the new year—with zero pressure to be perfect, and full permission to reset in your own way. Come for the dry brushing attempts… stay for the real-life chaos.

Listen if you've ever wanted to have a productive, magical morning… but also accidentally scroll for 45 minutes instead.

New year, new… ugh, no.

In this episode, Sarah and Michele get honest about why we're skipping the resolutions this year—and what we're doing instead to create real change (without the pressure, guilt, or glitter-covered goals list).

We talk about:

Time feels like it's moving too fast—and how we're slowing ourselves down
The problem with "new year, new me" energy (spoiler: you're probably already doing more than you realize)
How Michele quit smoking—like, OMG - so Michele
What Sarah is approaching differently in her love life, and how small shifts are already changing how she feels

And remember - we will teach you nothing. LOL

This is how we approach the New Year, and we'd love to hear more about how you ring in the New Year!

Are goals stupid? Are they the best thing ever? We don't know! Tell us!

One wears a Santa hat. One is wearing black. Guess who wore what!

Because somehow—it's all perfectly "talk sh*t" festive.

In this episode, we're dishing on our favorite holiday traditions, the food we look forward to all year, how Sarah has 2 Christmas trees, and how Michele rejects a few rules and celebrates with her amazing Mishmas.

We talk about:

Decorating chaos
Comfort food
Holiday joy (and how we wish people were nicer)
And how weirdly healing it can be to make your kind of season—no matter what it looks like

New episodes drop weekly
Share your favorite holiday traditions—we might read them on the show!

Which One of Us Is the FBI Profiler? Wait for it…

In this week's episode, we leave this timeline on read and hop on over to the multiverse—where infinite versions of us are living totally different (and sometimes wildly better?) lives.

We ask the important questions:

Would Michele be a no-nonsense FBI profiler... or just someone who knows too much?
Would Sarah have become a stand-up comic touring the world with emotionally devastating punchlines?
Is Michele secretly a super chill mom in another dimension (no minivan, minimal PTA involvement)?
Could Sarah be the CEO of a mega-business empire that runs on iced coffee, intuition, and hard boundaries?

Listen if you've ever wondered who you'd be if you'd made just one different choice… or if you're 92% sure you're meant to be living near water with a mysterious past.

This week, we're talking about the TV shows that stole our hearts, broke our brains, and how much we loathe streaming bills.

It's all about the shows we love and why we're subscribed to 97 things - except for Michele. She hates subscriptions.

Think:
Deep obsession with all things alien related (but only if the humans are in peril)
Chills (and possible nightmares?) about The Fall of the House of Usher
Softcore nostalgia for Little House on the Prairie
Aggressive rejection (Sarah) and keep love (Michele) of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

We've got hot takes, comfort picks, and strong feelings about the fact that we're now subscribed to six streaming services just to rewatch one thing in fuzzy socks. Justice for our wallets.

PLUS:
We want to hear your faves too—send us your underrated gems, old favorites, and shows you'd rewatch annually like it's a holiday.

Listen if:
You love a strong TV opinion, secretly cried at the Lasso finale, and have no idea how to cancel Apple TV.

DM us your rides-or-die shows @talkshitandlaugh—no judgment (unless it's Mormon Wives).

Ever look at your own life and think:
Why am I like this?

Same.

In this episode, Sarah and Michele go fully off the rails in the best way—comparing daily habits, weird quirks, and questionable routines that somehow… still make sense?

Sarah doesn't wash her face—new habits needed!
Michele has a multi-step PM skincare lineup and lives for it
We talk about how we both sleep, eat, unwind, and notice all the small things we don't realize are… weird
What kind of dogs we are?
And we ask the big question: do we actually want to change, or are we just delightfully broken in cute ways?

Spoiler: this episode is not about fixing yourself. It's about loving the version of you who texts from the toilet and loads the dishwasher "wrong" every night.

Listen if you need a laugh, a little self-acceptance, and permission to stop pretending you're doing it all right.
