Rach's Birthday Episode Surprise Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to a sneaky surprise episode in honor of Rach's 29th birthday! The girls kick off with some New Girl banter (TWENNY-NINE), Rachel share's her father's age once again, and Jess tells a haunting story from her dog, Pickle. The winter's load is about to arrive and the Rosche-Pridemore is getting prepared. Jess has a chronic case of itchy leg syndrome and is looking for a cure so shout a girl out if you have any recs. An un-checked cat fact gets leaked on the pod, and we will let you decide what you want to believe.
The meat for this episode is the 29 things Rach wants her daughter to know before she turns 29. It's a big episode of reflection and going into some heavy topics that has led Rach to where she is today. We hope you enjoy the rare sighting of an internally reflective and emotional Rach! You'll probably be seeing more of her in motherhood!
The girls will be BACK weekly in the New Year, and we can't wait to grow with you in 2023. Thank you for the patience and support you've given us in 2022 - you are our absolute favs.

It Was A Battical - November Recap Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

JESS IS BACK BABY! The girls are LIVE from Elsie's nursery, and start off hot with some pregnancy updates. Head to the YouTube if you want Rach's 30 week bump date! Jess is settling into a new reality, and although she isn't ready to share all that's she's been going through the past 2 months, she does share some really exciting and fun updates for the Cartellone-McAleese fam. The girls have a nice Thanksgiving chat (GBC crew rise up!!), and are truly ready to label themselves Thanksgiving food stans.
Jess and Rach give you a little career/wedding talks, which quickly turns into a bit of TMI about their nether regions. If periods and discharge aren't your favorite topics of convo, feel free to skip minutes 49-60 - but we promise it will be worth the laughs. Jess talks about a lil vendor drama, but Rach is there to stroke her ego.
Before the girls end the episode they talk about the future of the pod, and what their hopes are for 2023 as they both approach very new stages of life. We hope to take you with us on those journeys, and we thank you SO much for your patience as we transition into our new phases of life.
We freaking love you and are so grateful for you all!

Show notes

Surprise! Jeri from Ladies and Tangents is back to play the catch-up game with Rach while Jess is away! The girls start off strong with dog middle names and some cat talk. Did Jeri almost die due to dander over exposure while at Rach's house? Maybe. The girls chat about hair trends of the early 2000's and embarrassing moments with their grandmothers before getting into some (classic) dog training chats.
Rach spills the name of her baby, and theres a lot of pregnancy updates to be shared. Jeri and Rach talk about their careers, work/life balance, and Jeri talks about an upcoming exciting venture she is working on! Rach talks about her feelings on motherhood, her job, and her hopes for her future self as she approaches the birth of her first child. There's a lot of loose meat to consume this episode, and we hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for sticking with us in this very hectic season. Keep our girl Jess in the most positive of thoughts while she navigates a particularly hard season, in the midst of an already hectic one.
We freaking love you and are so grateful for you all!

Social Kush - August Recap Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

No matter how many times Rachel calls this the July recap - ignore her, it's the August recap. The pregnancy brain is very real. The girls start off with some menzies talk and some fall reflections. Did anyone else's college year fall seasons just hit different? Safe to say we are ready for a drop in temps and some of our favorite fall treats. Rach drops the news that her and Josh are having a GIRL - and Jess was the secret keeper (of course). Jess is shocked to learn that Rachel actually knows who the Lumineers are, despite a recent jokester moment she had.
Jess and Rach dive into some star talk before switching gears to some very loose meat - Breakup SZN. Inspired by Chelsea Handler's episode on We Can Do Hard Things, and with so many online couples calling it quits, the girls reflect on their own breakup experiences, and shed some light on where you should be emotionally before you even enter a relationship.
WE LOVE YOU. WE MISS YOU. We can't wait until we can be back giving the people what they want. In the meantime thank you for your grace and patience, we promise it will be worth the wait.

The Trish Edish - Coming Out + Allyship With Therapist Trisha Zivkovic Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

Everyone give a big warm welcome to our girl TRISH. This episode starts off with a lot of animal talk. Rach brings her dogs to a photo sesh and it all goes terribly wrong, and Jess's dogs collab on a murder. Two words- rodent juice. And the Rosche-Pridemore fam officially has a new member, Queen Queenie! It's 3 weeks until Rach's wedding so things are in full swing for her, and she can't recommend making your own wedding bands enough - shout out to Danielle and Bobby from The Circle Craft in Cleveland!
Our guest today is a former Jess Cart bride, dog rescuer, therapist for the LGBTQ community, FB+W listener, and just a general dope human. Trisha helps lead us in a conversation about coming out + allyship through the lens of a therapist. We loved hearing her perspective and knowledge throughout this conversation and we hope you do too. She gives some TOTD for coming out and being an ally, and we think this is such an important conversation and we are so happy we got to have it.
Happy Pride Month Everyone! We see you and love you and honor you. You deserve to be here.

Show notes

WELCOME BACK to another episode where Jess and Rach talk wedding stuff! Rach starts us off telling us a story of how a troubled adult approached her and asked her out. Wait till you hear this pick up line, low key cringe. Jess and Rach catch up and set the record straight about how they use comedic relief in their job and in no way are ungrateful or calling anyone out personally. We love our couples and would literally get on our knees in 80 degree weather to bustle the shit out of their dress, so forgive us as we find humor in what we do to get through.
The meat of today's episode is SURPRISE, wedding stuff. We revisit our very first episode titled, "Toad Vibes & The Top 8 Things You Should Know Before Your Wedding." (Season 1, Episode 1) Now in 2022 and with Rach currently planning with her wedding, we are giving you our newest top pieces of wedding planning advice. From planning your playlist to intentional time, you don't want to miss these top TOTD's.

Rach Is Not A Jokester - Reading Your Deal Breakers Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

HAPPY MOTHER EFFING PRIDE MONTH Y'ALL. This ep starts out with some Facebook Marketplace (aka FBM) banter. Who else loves the thrill of finding and scoring a deal? Or is it just the Midwest in us? Jess gets a serious case of period mouth, so apologies in advance. Joe gave Jess a serious ick while riding a scooter, and Rach can relate with some recent icks her fiancé has given her. The girls talk all things Survivor finale *SPOILER ALERT*, and you know they had to bond over their love of Love on The Spectrum.
The meat this week is brought to us by our listeners. We asked for your deal breakers and boy did you DELIVER. Long nails, polo shirts, cargo shorts, mouth kissing mamas boys, the list goes on and on... We had such a blast reading your icks and deal breakers and we hope you enjoy this lighthearted episode!
