Ladies, we have another very sexy episode for you today...all about Kristin's latest medical developments. After all, according to Misty Copeland, hip replacements are the hot new thing...(right?).
Ladies, sometimes, we just need to get it together! Today, we're talking Kristin Cabot, Kouri Richins and rounding it all out with our hot flash... Evan Mulrooney.
Happy St. Paddy's day, ladies! Today, we're getting a little boozy and talking about how much we love pubs and pub PEOPLE.
We love our family, but our dogs really take the cake (or, in Pearl's case...the entire bag of cough drops).
Making friends ain't easy, especially in those tricky tween years. Let's talk besties, boyfriends and how to catch a fella. Plus a shout out to the late great Catherine O'Hara.
Sleeping bags! Snacks! Hair braiding! Close up… magic? Yep, definitely at Smedley sleepover. Today we’re talking all things sleepovers through our own kid’s ICONIC slumber party! (They don’t call it that anymore, Jen)
This week we're catching up on dentist appointments, chaperoning field trips, and hosting our relatives for the weekend... the way we're getting through it? Eating cold cut sandwiches in bed.
Do you know your enneagram number? Kristin is an 8 with ADD and Jen is a mystery (mostly because we don't want to pay for the results). Listen now and hear us get catfished.
Being on the road in subzero weather doesn't stop us from getting hot (that's because we travel with electric blankets). Let's talk about sexy mango, butthole travelers, and a roll-on for the downstairs.
Today we have our first guest, Kristen Knutson and we're talking boomer parenting, Gramnesia and maybe a little bit of heated rivalry...
Ladies, we’ve made it to 2026! We’re catching you up on what we’ve been reading and watching (Stranger Things, duh), fangirling over Amy Poehler’s podcast, and oh yeah, we made it through writing our book!!

Ladies, Happy New Year! We’re kicking it off with our Top Mom Moments of 2025, the ones we all know a little too well. From handling bullies and hygiene battles to kids surviving middle school better than we ever did, we’re giving you our most relatable mom moments yet.
Ladies, pour ya a bottle of Veuve and come wrap 2025 with us! Celebrating Jen’s wedding anniversary (with her hubby as this week’s Hot Flash), Kristin goes toe-to-toe with anesthesia, and gets cozy with Molly Shannon.

We’re breaking down our Top 5 “Hot Flashes” of the Year, an unfiltered, deeply hormonal countdown of the men who made us go feral in 2025.

Ladies, it’s Thanksgiving and we’ve got a full plate! A surprise call from Kristin’s dad, Jen’s cornbread pudding, and Kristin’s childhood wish for an ’80s Omnibot robot… dare you to look that one up!
Ladies, today we’re celebrating hot movie hunks and yes, Jacob Elordi in Frankenstein deserves every scream! Then we’re off to Oz with Wicked Part II, and of course, we’re sharing plenty of Jonathan Bailey admiration… because moms deserve a little joy this holiday season.
We're REPLAYING one of our favorite holiday episodes. Remember when we were feeling awkward and insecure and we're not even the ones in middle school?! Listen as we talk about the preteen fashion police and how we try (and fail) to keep our cool.
Ladies, this episode might include some subpar “French” accents, wild theories, and the kind of over the top heist analysis you’d expect from two mamas who have seen Ocean’s 11 once. Grab a croissant and let’s unpack the Louvre robbery!
We’re still sipping on those show mom cocktails!! We’re talking all things Taylor Swift and Life of Show Girl.
Kristin and Jen dive into first communion, faith, and how to make an Apperal spritz, complete with glitter and seamless segway into Life As A Showgirl. It’s also gets real naughty towards the end so earbuds!

We’re bringing back a favorite! Remember the time when Jen saved the day by lending Kristin her comfort bra? Well, Kristin hasn’t stopped making fun of it since, and the laughs are just as good the second time around.
Ladies, our girl T-Swift is ENGAGED! We couldn’t be happier. She said yes to forever, and we’re shutting down the hate comments, and giving a heck yes to Netflix crime docs.

Ladies, parenting teens is a full time job. We are out here dodging teen eye rolls, flipping through all the parenting books, and just hoping we’re doing something right.
Ladies, let’s just say camping was less “glamping” and more “good luck” moms. From Kristin smelling like campfire smoke for days to Jen back in L.A. cleaning up Chick-fil-A nugget barf, this week has definitely been an adventure…
Ladies, camping with kids can test some patience, but wait till you hear about the cruise ship that turned into a floating Porta Potty. Trips may not always go as planned, but as long as you don’t lose your shi**- that’s a win!
Ladies, if you thought hormones were wild wait till you hear the things kids say. From dodging swear words to navigating pre-menopause, hormones run the show. No matter if you’re 15 or 50, they’re making us cry, laugh, and lose our minds all at the same time.
Today we are REPLAYING this episode because it's summer break and once again, we're wondering if this is when our boobs finally come in. Summer is never the John Hughes dream sequence we hope for, we’re just hoping for surviving with our dignity. And maybe a shirtless Justin Bieber
Ladies, it’s summer camp season and we’re taking you back to middle school musical theatre auditions where the drama is real, and the nerves are as high as the notes to “Defying Gravity.”

Ladies, today we’re talking all about haircuts from hell. And speaking of the afterlife, Kristin has a very special hot flash: Pope Leo. That’s right, our Chicago Pope. The Lord Be with you (and with da Bears).
We’re counting down the days til the end of the school year, because while it might be hard on our kids, it’s even harder on us moms. Between school plays, spirit weeks and changing hormones, we can’t wait for summer.
Today we are REPLAYING this episode about an age-old equation: kids lose their shoes and moms lose their shit. Then we feel bad and the process begins anew. But really…. HOW CAN A PERSON KEEP LOSING SHOES. You’re not yelling, we are. And a good portion of that is at ourselves. And our husbands.
Kristin and Eleanor took their first mother daughter trip to NYC and saw all the import sites: Central Park, Broadway, and of course…the Jellycat Cafe. Kristin’s biggest takeaway: she needs to break into the children’s stuffies business.
This episode is all about the fun Jen had in Cabo...margaritas, lazy river, and a party on a pirate shop. But the party didn't stop there. 4 days after getting home, Mr. Montezuma got his revenge. But Jen is tough. And skinnier. And scheduling her colonoscopy.
Fellow moms: we’re going to say something shocking. We know how hard you work we know how hard you try to make it to every game and every practice.

We are team Mom and we believe in you.
Having a good day in middle school is like winning the lottery. Today we’re talking about how to celebrate the wins when they happen, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and of course Walton Goggins again. Sorry not sorry.

Where we grew up, anybody could parent anybody’s kid. We were given talkin-to’s from everyone from the neighbor to the mailman. Nowadays, it’s veeeerrrry different. But sometimes we can’t help but let our roots show…..especially when your kid is being a butthole.
It's Valentines Day and you know what that means....Kristin and Jen are grossing each other out and giggling about all things in the Valentine's space. If you're able to swap romantic stories with your best friend and keep a straight face...we commend you. Because we definitely can't.

We can’t get our kids into the shower, can you? Today we’re talking about greasy hair, new mom friends and sticking with our biggest hot flash: the amazing firefighters who are still tirelessly working to put out the fires in LA.
