If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to…

It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.

Since we have 4 more years of yelling into the abyss, we're assuming you won't mind if we go ahead and take the first 30 minutes to do a mental health check in before diving into an incredibly thorough DYSBT google doc. As much as we want to be all peepee, poopoo, hehe, haha- as people, we're not ready yet and we know some of you aren't yet either.…

Regardless of when you listen, the day this episode goes live is election day and it isn't just any election day. Today is a day that could go down in history as the first time that the United States of America elect a woman into its highest office in the land. As we know, she isn't the first woman to run for president, but I think what might shock…

On this exact day, 5 years ago, we nervously hit launch on an episode titled "Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - The Salem Witch Trials," and our lives were changed forever. We always said that we would continue the podcast as long as it brought us joy, but we certainly didn't know just how much joy it would bring us. For half a decade, thi…

Playlist of the Dead: An All-Star Halloween Special Six Strangers. One Cursed Playlist. Ultimate Power—or Certain Death. Drawn by a mysterious letter promising the power to control an army of the dead, six strangers arrive at a hidden location with a single task: survive a binge-listening session unlike any other. Their key to unlocking this dark m…

If you’ve ever considered making an episode a drinking game, let it be this one. We made it easy by spontaneously going down an astrology wormhole and repeatedly said the word astrocartography. We said it so much that it doesn’t feel like a real word. It also may not be a real word according to the red squiggly line that’s currently under it. Once …

We can't confirm, but we may have set a new record with this episode. Our first full week home after tour proved to be full of life, laughter and October lagers and because of that, it took us approximately 60 minutes to get to the actual topic of this episode. We may be biased, but the first 60 are definitely worth the listen, so if you're a "skip…

It’s finally October, so we had to bring you an all ghost story episode! If there’s one thing we know about you all, it’s that you’re spooky mfers who know how to tell a story. Grab a snack, some water and turn all of the lights on and enjoy these creepy accounts! WE’RE GOING ON TOUR - ladiesandtangents.com WE'RE ON PATREON - patreon.com/ladiesandt…

We know that you come to us for important, meaningful, deep, thoughtful conversations and so when we sat down on the couch this week, we vowed to bring you just that. Lol opposite day- we're taking Buzzfeed quizzes to find out what kind of soup we are. WE’RE GOING ON TOUR - ladiesandtangents.com WE'RE ON PATREON - patreon.com/ladiesandtangents MERC…

We have somehow found ourselves as the honorary weird history retellers and today's tale couldn't be weirder. Seriously, this tale includes tails and they're six feet tall and exploding into the sky. You have questions? So do we. I can't promise we'll answer them all but what I can promise is that no living whales were harmed in the making of this …

After being lowkey bullied on tour during meet and greets about taking a break, we succumbed to peer pressure and did not record a new episode for this week. We are unable to fully skip, so our compromise is piecing together patreon episodes from this year for you to enjoy. Shit gets weird after dark... Truly thank you for being so supportive and t…

We've been called vulnerable for almost 5 years now, and for 5 years, we've said thank you and nodded like we understood what that really meant. Another word that also falls into the "just nod and smile" category? Resilience. Two weeks ago we had a conversation online that we all agreed should have been an off camera moment, however the response we…

In true ladies and tangents fashion, it takes us almost 10 minutes to even say hello to all of you, but after that - we are off to the races sharing secrets you sent in! We asked for confessions, and you delivered. We shouldn't be surprised though that somehow our audience found a way to make even confessions, at times, wholesome af. Except for the…

Camp Tangents part ii is officially underway and we are officially under the weather. For whatever reason, we thought after two weeks of insanity moving, traveling, recovering- it would be a good time to sit and check in with ourselves and you. Patreon guided the conversation and Jeri ended up in tears. Let's be so for real, it was always going to …

This episode has all the juice. Juicy goss, juicy ho*s and juicy...poo? That sounded way more gross than I thought. I apologize. Regardless, grab a snack- we brought the small town, confessions of an angry employee, midday public lovin’ tea!

What started as a fun fact, became an internet deep dive. We learned that there is such a thing as illegal names and the rest is history. It turns out that there are things you can name your dog that you simply cannot name a baby in America, as well as multiple other countries around the world. In addition to illegal names, there are also multiple …

TW/CW - ab*se: physical/emotional/mental Next up in the "the internet introduced us to this term and we want to discuss an article about it" DARVO. It is an acronym, we're not yelling at you- although the words those letters stand for are just as aggressive as us yelling. We attempt to assign different words at the end of the episode and are aware …

After two weeks of episodes pulling on heart strings, we decided that us as a collective could use a break in the form of a game night...unfortunately that game got delayed in the mail so Plan B it is. It's still a game, but allegedly not as hard hitting. We think it's a fun time, nonetheless! WE’RE GOING ON TOUR - ladiesandtangents.com WE'RE ON PA…

CW/TW - This is a true crime story that includes mention of s**cide, animal cr*elty, and an overall insane loss of life. The Zanesville Zoo Massacre was a piece of history that we lived through and can vividly recall. It was a horrifying event that changed the course of animal ownership nationwide. WE’RE GOING ON TOUR - ladiesandtangents.com WE'RE …

Someone told us this isn't actually our 250th episode but we didn't throw ourselves a birthday party last week so just let us have this... To celebrate such a monumentous occasion as a 250th episode and definitely not our 251st or 252nd, we're giving the people what they want- scandals and poop stories. We love you people WE’RE GOING ON TOUR - ladi…

We loved getting to choose our islands of personality in Inside Out, and we're even more excited to become even more familiar with ourselves in Inside Out 2. Much like Riley, we're also going through a lot of changes. We may not be hearing the terrifying alarm of puberty, but rest assured, there's plenty of other life events to make our emotions sc…

Yet another term has circulated the internet and wound up in our google feed. Scientific studies and peer reviews be damned, tiktok says Future Faking exists and so do at least two articles that we chose to discuss in this episode and that's good enough for us. Remember, as always, we are two idiots who don't know dick about shit. We put some words…

It's almost been five years since we sat down behind a couple of microphones and started sharing our conversations with the world. Two babies have been born, weddings have been had, shows have been done, moves have happened and other recent events have occurred...It is safe to say a lot has changed, but have we? We asked our audience to send us quo…
