We started this episode talking about books. That did not last long.
Somewhere between fantasy reads and pop culture, we ended up reading real comments men leave on our podcast clips… and things got weird fast. What starts as criticism turns into entitlement, insults, and comments that say way more about the people typing them than the women on the screen.
We talk about why men feel so comfortable commenting on women’s bodies, why it almost never goes the other direction, and how online culture rewards being loud instead of being decent.
Along the way, we also get into Stranger Things emotions, millennial nostalgia, mom life chaos, small-town internet drama, and what’s coming up next at the bookstore.
If you’ve ever read a comment section and thought, what is wrong with people, this one’s for you.
It’s two days before Christmas and we absolutely should not have hit record.
We meant to talk about Christmas books and last-minute reads. We did that… briefly. Then it turned into bookstore chaos, holiday nostalgia, Megan Quinn love, Stranger Things nerves, TikTok humor, ringtones, iron infusions, Missouri weather, and whatever else popped into our heads.
This episode is unfiltered, rambling, very real, and exactly what happens when you record right before the holidays.
If you’re here for book talk, chaos, laughs, and “how did we get here?” energy — welcome.
Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Big plans coming in 2026.
It’s Black Friday at the bookstore, and everything is unhinged in the best way. We talk about hitting over 12,000 books sold, break down our top sellers of the year, share the latest wild town gossip, relive Carter’s unforgettable puke story, and wrap with a big Stranger Things discussion. Real life, real chaos, and a lot of laughing through the madness.
We’re back — slightly scarred, highly caffeinated, and somehow still laughing.
In this “mini” episode that’s definitely not mini, we catch up on:
• Matching surgeries (yes, same week)
• One very unfortunate case of poison ivy
• Getting featured in 417 Magazine
• TikTok fans finding the bookstore IRL
• Burger King regrets and Christmas decorating rules
Basically, it’s chaos, book talk, and questionable medical decisions — business as usual for us.
New episodes every other week. Grab your coffee (or your IV fluids) and join the mess.
We start this episode with a fly swatter, a book review, and absolutely no plan—so, basically, business as usual.
This week the sisters break down The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy (spoiler: not that irresistible), discuss whether the Annabelle doll is actually just Raggedy Ann with a rebrand, and spiral into a full-blown defense of Rainforest Cafe. There’s also a mini rant on school schedules, Sydney Sweeney’s "controversial" ad, and why Alani’s Pumpkin Cream needs to be arrested.

💥 It's chaotic, it's honest, it's Episode 54.
We’re back from summer chaos with stories of theme park rides, food that turned our poop green, book drama we don’t care about, and the kind of Shark Week energy only the Scissor Sisters can bring. Tan, unhinged, and unapologetic.
