Can You Say "Chaos"? Aug 04, 2022

Happy Birthday Lar!

Get Outta Your Head Aug 04, 2022

Like all things in life, nothing is promised and healing is not linear. While we believe all stories are meant to be told, we also believe there's a time and place to tell them. This week we are giving Lar the grace she deserves to heal so we can tell her story the right way - when she's ready.
Instead we chat about being in our heads. The only person who cares what you wear is you. So wear the outfit, wear the bathing suit, and do what makes you happy. Your resident winos are cheering you on!!

Roadies & The Right To Choose Jul 07, 2022

Thanks to the EP, we're back in the studio this week with a delicious bottle of wine and boy do we need this wine! This week we are chatting about the recent SCOTUS decision to over turn Roe v. Wade. While we know it's a divisive topic but it is also an important one that we feel very passionate about. We believe in everyone's right to choose - whether that choice is the right to medical procedures or the choice of religion. We just want people to be respectful of other peoples choices and honestly, we don't think that's too much to ask.

Sangria Summer and Technical Difficulties Jun 30, 2022

After losing what day of the week it was two weeks ago to technical difficulties last week, your Resident Winos are FINALLY back!
This week we go back to our roots and chit chat about all the things after a day at the pool. We even decided that sangria needs the limelight for a bit so moving forward it will be all about the Sangria Summer. We’ll try new sangria recipes, rate and review them, and let you know if you should try them too.

Louisville Jun 09, 2022

Wear The Damn Shorts Jun 02, 2022

It's hot this week so we thought it was a good time to remind all of you that you deserve to be comfortable. We know that you are not always comfortable in your own skin, especially as women, but we have to stop letting what other people may or may not think of us hold us back from wearing the clothes we want to wear! Other women aren't judging you, we promise, so put on what you like. And if they are judging you, well they're clearly a dick and they don't listen to this podcast.
Just know we have your back and you deserve to wear what you want, when you want, and feel as good as you can all summer long!

Heavy Hearts & Tired Mamas May 26, 2022

What a week it's been. From the shooting in Buffalo to the Uvalde tragedy, our hearts are so heaving. It leaves us wondering when is it going to be enough? How many more babies, humans, have to die at the hands of a senseless, preventable tragedy? Who is going to put their foot down and demand change? Who will choose to use their power for good rather than their own personal benefit? Being a parent is hard enough but now we have to add active shooter conversations to our toolboxes and it's exhausting. School is not supposed to be scary and childhood shouldn't be this hard.
Hold your babies and loved ones tight. Do something nice for someone else. Do what you can to make the world a better place.
We are sending our love, prayers, and thoughts to all of those affected by all of the recent tragedies. Our hope is that policy and change happens sooner rather than later.
Enough is Enough.

Burning Too Many Candles May 19, 2022

When life is crazy who or where do you turn? Welp, we turn to each other. On this weeks episode you'll get a real glimpse into a real life conversation we would have with one another. This week we are talking burn out and burning the candle at both ends without any relief in sight. With Lar just coming off her busy season, Ash turns to her to for advice and tips on how to manage all the chaos that is spring sports and busy work and new appliances and all the other obligations being thrown her way.

We also chat a bit about the leaked SCOTUS documents and share our thoughts. We finish the episode up with our exciting plans for the weekend. Stay tuned!
Happy Mother's Day to all our favorite mom's out there. Pour yourself a glass of wine and be happy this weekend. You deserve it!

The Wheel of Topics Apr 28, 2022

Life gets busy with jobs and kids and housework and schoolwork and sports and podcasts that sometimes you just need a mental break - and that's exactly what this episode is. John joins Ash on this delightfully boring episode. Listen, our minds are mush and we just didn't plan enough ahead to account for Lar being out this week so, this is what you get. Welcome to our real life - it can be a real bitch sometimes!
This week's wine is Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore. 3 cheers for the wine, no cheers for the pronunciation.

Case of the Boulder Head - Happy 420! Apr 21, 2022

This last week was a mess and we needed something fun and light - that's where Battle of the Broads comes in! John joins us and asks some of the worlds most burning questions; is a hotdog a sandwich?

The Karaoke Episode Apr 07, 2022

***WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC***
This week we take it all the way back to 2000 and re-sing some of the songs that turn 22 in '22. We apologize for the terrible singing but we just can't help ourselves. So grab a glass of wine and join our karaoke session. From Mya to Jay-Z to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Papa Roach, there's something for everyone on this episode. There's laughs, singing, and wine - it doesn't get much better than that.

Just when you think the chaos slows down, it doesn't. Lar is crazy busy right now but she's finally back behind the mic for the last episode of Season 1! We chat about Ash's organization bug, school fights, crazy work schedules, and we say farewell to all of you - but only for the next few weeks!
As we wrap Season 1, we could not be more grateful to our listeners and our supporters. We'd be nothing without you and we are forever grateful. We hope you'll stick with us, write a review, send us your chaos, and be on the lookout for some pop up chaos over the next few weeks.

Chaos Potpourri Pt. 2 Jan 13, 2022

We always think things will slow down after the holidays but, news flash for all you moms about to have school aged kids, it doesn't. Between busy work schedules and re-adjusting to school schedules and extra curricular activities, we just don't have the room on our plates. So we bring you a little of this and a little of that - or as we like to call it, Chaos Potpourri. Pour a glass and join us for an all over the place episode.

Return of the Mac Jan 06, 2022

Ma....The Meatloaf! AITA - Service Industry Dec 16, 2021

This week we are coming at you from one of our favorite watering holes...The Kalamazoo Beer Exchange! While they are known for their extensive and exceptional beer list, their wine list is equally as amazing. So when Jim approached us to review the list, we knew it wouldn't disappoint. We go back to our roots for this episode, in more ways than one. We review a beautiful Pinot Noir while we discuss more AITA stories - this time related to the service industry.
Please check out The Beer Exchange. They have locations in both Kalamazoo and Detroit (we'll be there in May!). Tell them the Winos from Red Wine & Chaos sent you...maybe you can get your hands on the infamous meatloaf.

Boundaries 101 Dec 02, 2021

Because this is an open and honest forum, it's no secret that part of our chaos is learning how to better ourselves. This week we both took a quiz to determine our boundary type. We take a closer look into each of ours and what they look like to us when we are balanced vs. out of balance. Join us as we review not 1 but 2 wines and as we break down what we learned from Terri Cole, author of The Boundary Boss, and how we are going to apply that to our real, every day lives. We encourage all of you to look at your own boundaries and what you can do to support them. And who knows, maybe there will be a Boundaries 102 episode in the future!

Holiday Blues Nov 18, 2021

The holiday's are magical and filled with love but the holiday blues are so, so real. This week we talk how we keep things together but are also open about how we pull ourselves out of a hole.

Welcome to our new segment - Chaos Potpourri. Where we have a lot we want to talk about but can't narrow it down to one topic.

AITA - Winos Weigh In Oct 21, 2021

We may not be professional advice givers but we certainly have a lot of opinions. This week we test our "Dear Judy" skills as we take on "Am I The Asshole" questions and weigh in with the rest of Reddit. In this episode we cover household chores, Halloween, squatters, and lazy baby daddies. We kept it pretty tame this time around but we make no promises for round two.

Merlot & Midwest Fashion Oct 14, 2021

This week we are tackling two things slightly outside of our comfort zone - Merlot and Fashion trends. Just because we love our hoodies and leggings doesn't mean we are completely oblivious to fashion trends but there are some out there that we just can't get behind (we're looking at you crop tops and mesh shirts). Join us while we chat about current trends, what trends we are excited to try, and Lar's biggest pet peeve when it comes to fashion.
This weeks wine: A beautiful Merlot from Cafe Zoetrope out of California.

Grief - You Can't Escape It Oct 07, 2021

Everyone has loss. Everyone has grief. But that doesn't mean that grief is transferrable. Your grief is all your own but that doesn't mean you are alone!
This week we chat about grief and what it means to us. Whether is grieving the loss of a parent, a job, or our old selves, we'll touch on how we feel when we're going through it and why it's okay to feel what you feel. Your grief journey is unique to you but please, don't hold onto it. Reach out to a friend or family member and let that shit out. And if someone does reach out, please stop saying "I know how you feel" because in that moment, they need your ears not your comparisons.
Please visit our social pages (Facebook and Instagram) for articles, books, and TED Talks that are referenced in this episode.

When You Hit Capacity, Drink Wine Sep 30, 2021

We all have a limit. Every single one of us. Emotional limits, physical limits, and mental limits are present in both our personal and professional lives. How do you manage when you hit your capacity? How do you wade through the mud to find the light at the end of the tunnel?
It happens to all of us and it comes and goes like the waves. Join us this week as we chat about our limits and how we get through when we've hit our capacity. Don't be afraid to open a bottle of wine, dance it out, call us, or cry in the shower. There's no right or wrong way to get through it, you just gotta get through it.
This week's wine: A lovely Pinot Noir from Bonobo Winery in Traverse City, Michigan.

With the cooler weather settling in, we are settling in to our fall TV line up and warm red wines - the perfect combo if you ask us! We are chatting all things fall TV - our returning favorites, some new shows we need to pick up, and even our favorite Disney movies. We may be TV junkies but these junkies are always looking for more. So, tell us what you're watching! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, or send us an email at redwineandchaos@gmail.com.

Bellini's and Bad Jokes Sep 16, 2021

We know y'all know what a dad joke is but this week we are changing the narrative and giving you some of our best mom jokes!

Thursdays Are For The Boys Sep 02, 2021

Hold on to your wine glasses because we decided to invite the boys to join us for this week's episode - and by boys we mean LaVarr (10) and Oliver (8). We asked them a bunch of questions about their moms and here's what we figured out; LaVarr thinks very highly of his mom and Oliver likes to call his mom out.
You won't be disappointed with this one AND you even get a very special review! Don't worry, we didn't give the boys wine. We may be "bad moms" but give us a little bit of credit.
This weeks episode brought to you by an excellent Italian wine and Propel. While it's not sponsored by Propel, it certainly can be. You can email us at redwineandchaos@gmail.com or visit our website redwineandchaos.com for more information.

There's Wine, Juice, and a Bestie Quiz Aug 26, 2021

We're back for another remote episode but the fun and chaos is definitely not lost. From juice wine and bad internet connections to a best friend quiz and a storm this episode has something for everyone. We keep it light with a little "how well do you know your BFF" quiz and I'm pretty sure we nailed it....but you'll have to listen to see for yourself.
This weeks wine:
Lar - Stella Rosa Black Cherry w/Belvedere (classy)
Ash - Saracosa Toscana (almost certain it's a repeat)

Platonic Relationships and Why They Work Aug 19, 2021

Welcome Back Winos! This week the girls are chatting about platonic relationships and what better way to break down these relationships than with a mutual friend who both Lar and Ash are in a platonic relationship with, TC Thompson. TC is a devoted husband, dad of two beautiful girls, and an all around joy to be around. Join them as they chat about why platonic relationships work, how they work, and why they are important.
Full disclosure: things get loud, things get honest, and most of all things get chaotic.
This weeks wine - A beautiful Pinot Noir from Joel Gott.

Pandemic Series - Covid...Again... Aug 12, 2021

Are we in a twilight zone? Didn't we just get through a pandemic? Well folks, it's here again but this time we have tools to combat it. However, not everyone feels the same. This week your resident winos are chatting about another possible shutdown, wearing your mask, and just not being a dick. It's pretty simple...at least they think so.
The girls must still be recovering from Vegas because this week's episode embodies chaos and all the things that go with it.

With Lar in Vegas, Ash is joined by their very good friend, Sarah. They talk what “mom friend” means to them and the difference between mom friends and “mom friends.”
Sarah and Ash are on their way to surprise Lar - she has no idea they are in Vegas. It’s a short episode recorded from the Flamingo Hotel in and our drink of choice this week is water, so forgive the audio!

The Olympics Bring Out ALL The Chaos! Jul 29, 2021

The girls are a bit all over the place this week but with 'chaos' in the podcast title, that's to be expected from time to time! They eventually get to the wine review before discussing some of their favorite moments from the 2021 Summer Olympics. Ashley learns how to pronounce "dressage" (don't lie, you didn't know how to pronounce it either) and Lar talks about how cool Handball is. They also discuss the controversy surrounding Simone Biles - spoiler, they support her 1,000% - and how important it is to protect your mental health, especially on such a large stage.
There's another special appearance by Kitty, Lar spills red wine on a white chair, and true to form, the chaos is abundant.

"American Skin" & The Need To Do Better Feb 25, 2021

Passionate about bringing awareness and knowledge to systemic racism, Laura & Ashley couldn’t let Black History Month go by without discussing the need to do better. Watching the movie “American Skin” prompted them to have a vulnerable but real discussion regarding race and what they are doing daily to become catalysts of change. As a white mother to a Black child, Laura discusses what she’s doing, to the best of her ability, to prepare her child for the unfortunate world we live in. Ashley discusses what it’s like to raise her white child to be an ally to our Black community and part of the solution rather than part of the problem. They may not always get it right but they will never stop trying and they will never stop learning because people they love depend on all of us doing better. We hope all of you will join us and not be afraid to have the tough conversations that so desperately need to be had.
