Theme: Poolside chaos, parenting teens, Appalachian vampire conspiracies, Mother's Day sweet tooth cravings, and a suspenseful book club breakdown.

🎧 In This Episode:
In true circus fashion, Stefanie and Meredith kick off this week’s episode with soaked sweatpants, teens testing every ounce of patience, and a collective craving for chocolate cake. They dive into vampire folklore (spoiler: it may have started in the Appalachian Mountains), debate the absolute audacity of a certain AITA couch situation, and wrap up with a juicy review of No One Can Know—a dark, twisty murder mystery with more secrets than suspects.

Stefanie drops her phone in the pool… and takes a freezing hoodie-clad dive to rescue it. Yep, it’s one of those weeks.

👖 Teen Trouble & Air Fryer Battles:
The moms vent about late-teen apathy, money-motivated chores, and parenting hacks that work—sometimes.

Forget New Orleans—vampire legends may have started with Romanian settlers deep in the Appalachian Mountains. Are you even surprised?

🍰 Mother’s Day Cake Manifestation:
Stefanie declares her only wish this year: a personal chocolate cake with white icing, no plates necessary.

From a conman selling the Eiffel Tower TWICE to swimming with the pigs can make you violently ill, the internet is doing the most—and we’re here for it.

🧠 AITA: Couchgate at the Couples’ Weekend
When your bestie invites every other couple—but sticks you on the couch and forgets your partner—are you wrong for heading home early? (Spoiler: NO.)

Theme: Weird world records, pop culture deep dives, an uninvited stepmom scandal, and a chilling review of The Marsh King’s Daughter.

🎧 In This Episode:

It’s another wild week under the big top, and Stefanie and Meredith are bringing the chaos. From Guinness World Records that make you gag (43 snails on your face?!) to parrots swearing at tourists, the bizarre takes center stage. They also discuss what not to do on a Zoom call (hello, monitor gate), give their takes on the drama-filled wedding AITA post, and dive deep into The Marsh King’s Daughter—a gripping survivalist thriller with serious psychological twists.

🖥️ Monitor Gate & Mansplaining Mayhem
– Meredith shares her tech support nightmare and the satisfying moment she proved she wasn’t “just being dramatic.”

– Plus: a new obsession with a baby alpaca named Noodle.

🌍 World’s Weirdest Records:

🧠 AITA: Stepmom Uninvited from the Wedding?!
– A throwaway account with a heartbreaking twist: a groom sides with his bio mom… and tries to gaslight his stepmom out of the wedding.

📚 Book Club – The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne

Hosts: Stefanie Navarro & Meredith Hill
Run Time: ~50 min
Theme: Conspiracy theories, Disney deep dives, personality quizzes, true crime book club, and a jaw-dropping “Am I the A-hole?” with a shocking twist.

🎧 In This Episode:

Buckle up, y’all. We’ve got dragon skulls in Romania, secret worlds under the North Pole, and Disney characters with psychological diagnoses. Stefanie and Meredith dive into internet rabbit holes (looking at you, TikTok), share an ADHD-friendly productivity tool, and test each other with a revealing personality quiz involving otters and sloths. Then it’s time for the ultimate AITA bombshell that left everyone speechless—plus, a book club pick that finally delivered.

💬 Topics Covered:

🐉 Dragons Are Real (Probably):
A “dragon skull” discovered in a Romanian well? TikTok theories? Creatures in caves? Stefanie takes us down the conspiracy spiral—Admiral Byrd, Hollow Earth, and all.

🧠 Goblin Tools for ADHD Brains:
An online tool that turns “clean your room” into bite-sized tasks—with chili peppers and magic wands. Game changer for list-makers and distracted girlies.

🐾 Personality Quiz with a Twist:
If you were an animal… what would that reveal about how the world sees you (and how you see yourself)? Things get deep, funny, and very on-brand.

🏰 Disney Princesses & Diagnoses:
Theorists say each Disney character represents a psychological disorder—from Rapunzel's PTSD to Ariel’s hoarding tendencies. Is it a stretch… or does it actually check out?

🧠 AITA: The Gay Bookstore, The Slur, and the Secret Son:
A 19-year-old employee crosses a line… then drops a bombshell that changes everything. Let’s just say—this one’s got plot twists worthy of a Netflix miniseries.

📚 Book Club: Lake of the Lost Girls by Katherine Greene
– A dual-timeline thriller that actually lived up to the hype
– Complex sisterhood, dark family secrets, and a body hidden shockingly close to home
– The girls rate it a solid 9/10—finally, a win!

📖 Next Week’s Read:
The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne — an abduction, survivalist father, and one daughter hunting him down in the marsh. Let’s go.
