Latest Episodes:

S4E3: Dula Peep is HOT Oct 31, 2024

Ever tried belting out Taylor Swift's 10-minute anthem "All Too Well" without a lyric sheet? Join us on a wild ride through our car karaoke antics, where spontaneity meets hilarity, and our fondness for mixing up seasonal tunes like "All I Want for Christmas Is You" in June. We also navigate the lively chaos of Austin City Limits, sharing our impressions of the ever-evolving cityscape and the quirks of festival life, from battling bugs to doubling up on zinc for that unavoidable festival flu.
Picture this: a music festival where I, feeling like a bit of an outsider, discovered the riveting world of Qveen Herbie, a musical revelation that connected past and present in an unexpected way. With my boyfriend Nate, a passionate musician, we explored performances from incredible female artists, both British and Irish, culminating in a Dua Lipa moment. Our journey also takes a playful turn with reality TV banter, contrasting the wholesome charm of the UK's "Love is Blind" with its more dramatic US counterpart.
As we unwrap the latest "Crumble Sydney" cookie saga and reflect on surprising life-saving moments at festivals, we also dive into the vibrant worlds of plants and social media. From the thrills of plant shopping and the changing plant market to the joys of Soup Fest in Minneapolis, there's no shortage of anecdotes and insights. Connect with us across platforms like Instagram and TikTok, and explore the world of Brandon Botanical. Whether it's music festivals or plant adventures, there's a whimsical tale awaiting your ears.

S4E2: We're Bumpin' That (In Video) Oct 24, 2024

Make sure to check this episode out in video format on Spotify and Youtube!
Remember the chaos of forgetting your meds or the hilarity of dirty wine glasses at a drag brunch? We’re back and sharing every awkward, amusing, and downright bizarre moment from our lives over the past few months. Our return to the podcasting world is filled with tales of technical hurdles, a warm welcome to our new producer Heather, and well-wishes for Cece, who's facing health challenges. Plus, there's the side-splitting recount of how we finally caught COVID after four long years and what it’s like to work around humans again. Let's just say, it's been a journey!
But that's just scratching the surface. We’re diving headfirst into our reality TV obsessions, with a special nod to the outrageous antics of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City." Whether it’s Angie’s dramatic scrolls or Mary Cosby’s blunt remarks, we’ve got opinions and laughs to share. And if you’re a plant person, brace yourself for the wild ride called "Hurricane Thriptrina" and our plant community's quirks. We chat about the joys and perils of plant care, from deciding which to save to the cathartic farewell of those we couldn't.
If pop culture and nostalgia tickle your fancy, you’ll love our spirited discussion on "Jersey Shore" and the evolution of its cast. We’re also tackling the trials of everyday life, like the saga of a tire service gone wrong and the quest for the perfect drink, complete with Brandon’s birthday popsicles. So sit back, relax, and join us for a ride through humor, chaos, and the unpredictable world of podcasting once more.

S4E1: We're Back Baby!! Oct 17, 2024

Ever tried to fit a gigantic cabinet into a tiny car? We sure did, and the hilarity that ensued was nothing short of a sitcom episode. Our latest catch-up dives into the chaos of selling furniture amidst rain and nosey buyers, all while trying to juggle full-time work routines. And that's just the beginning of our comical escapades as we re-enter the podcasting world with tales of teamwork, unexpected challenges, and letting go of old routines.
Then we hit the concert scene with tales that will have you laughing out loud. Imagine attending a Nicki Minaj or Megan Thee Stallion concert only to witness aisle mishaps that rival the performance itself. We've got quirky tales about concert sound issues, unexpected public intoxication, and, of course, our undying love for stadium hot dogs. Plus, bumping into Phaedra Parks at a drag brunch added a fabulous touch to our celebrity encounter tales—dirty wine glasses and all!
Our conversation also veers into the vibrant worlds of reality TV, viral TikToks, and peculiar celebrity fashion choices. From critiquing the latest in entertainment trends to sharing a personal story about fast food shenanigans and amusement park rides, we cover it all. As always, we bring our signature chaotic charm to the table, ensuring that you’re entertained and maybe even a little bit enlightened as we explore the randomness that life throws our way. Welcome back to the madness!
