The Side Chat

Surprise! It’s a special Friday drop and your favorite trio is back! The ladies are getting real about the little things no one warns you about as you get older. From age spots to mustache maintenance and bikini line honesty that only happens between close friends, the girls are talking about all the things that quietly creep in with age. After Tricia shares her very unexpected past as a child dance judge, the gals SIDE CHAT about the unspoken responsibilities of shared playlists and party aux etiquette—because someone has to keep the vibe going (and that someone is Krissy). And of course, no episode is complete without a cameo from one of Caitlin’s children: this time a 2-year-old, staying up way past her bedtime with no grandparent oversight in sight. Hosted on Acast.

IT'S SEASON 3, SIDE CHICKS! The ladies of The Side Chat are back after their first week off in a full calendar year and it's truly too soon to tell if they even remember how to podcast. But they've got BIG plans for the new season including new special guests - so they had to start off strong with a mystery guest who's as wise as he is toothless - and honestly he might just be coming for the girls' hosting jobs. After they unpack life's big questions like "What's the meaning behind The Side Chat?" and "What did New York City look like in the 1800s?" the gals segue over to a classic Trish SIDE CHAT about a gracious out-law getting left on read in the in-law family group chat. #JusticeForSheila Hosted on Acast.

It's the Season 2 Finale and the ladies of The Side Chat are going out with a bang (and a bra)! Coming off the heels of Cait and Krissy's recent confessions about their lack of basic bra hygiene (#castironskillet), the gals are joined this week by a very special guest - Rebeka Polgar, founder of Tigers Eye - an award-winning company on a mission to design the best sports bra ever created, backed by science. Rebeka breaks down why supporting the girls is so important - and even issues a sweat-smell challenge to Krissy who has been training her whole life for this moment. Then in one final SIDE CHAT to close out the season, the girls unpack the refund policy on group trips after a last-minute bachelorette party cancelation leaves two alpha females locked in a cold war text exchange.https://tigerseyebra.com/ Hosted on Acast.

It’s Episode 20 (maybe?) and The Side Chat might just be too hot to handle this week. Caitlin’s Chaos Corner is back (was it ever even gone?) and the ladies are talking post-nursing-brain recovery, relationship slumps, and the way our kids are leaving us emotionally mangled and scrambled. After a triumphant return from the Midwestern HR lady, the gals tackle a SIDE CHAT about a post-divorce rebound happening so fast it makes J.Lo’s (and Fred Armisen's) marital history look amateur.

Calling all lucky boys and nasty girls: it's a new week on The Side Chat! And since we all know women be shopping, Tricia takes us inside a seldom discussed but nevertheless monumental motherhood milestone: shopping for new bras when you're ready to retire your nursing bras. And with new undergarments come new horrors as Cait and Krissy bond over their abject lack of care or maintenance for their bras–preferring instead to give them "the old cast iron skillet treatment." Despite such deeply shameful confessions, the pod continues with a discourse about how Cait needs to stop saying "there's a discourse online..." and a look at Lucky Girl Syndrome - and why the universe always knows when you're faking it. After a deep dive into the lyrical genius of Sisqo's magnum opus The Thong Song (FINALLY!), the ladies break down a SIDE CHAT about a mom looking for an air mattress recommendation from a mom group chat ahead of what's sure to be "one crazy summer."

Grab your Throat Coat, it's time for another episode of The Side Chat. It's Memorial Day which ironically means the girls can't remember the last time they had childcare. Tricia's flaunting that DRIP (postnasal), Krissy finally confesses she's Canadian (eh!), and Caitlin can't stop making offers on houses in the Greater Boston area. Along the way, the gals unpack why home inspections may be the new therapy ("Tell me what's wrong with me FOUNDATIONALLY") and why you never want to bring a blacklight to the Jack Shack. After a quick musical sting dedicated to our exactly zero high school listeners, the ladies take on a SIDE CHAT about a passive aggressive Admin Appreciation Day in which the gift simply wasn't appreciated–because no good deed goes unpunished.

This week on THE SIDE CHAT, the ladies are buzzin' and beefin' as Krissy and Tricia continue their blood feud with Caitlin and the pod caught in the crossfire. But while Trish actually attends to family matters (and not of the Steve Urkel persuasion), Krissy and Cait take yet another journey to the outer limits of Caitlin's sanity thanks to what can only be described as another Biblical plague descending on her home–this time in the form territorial carpenter bees (NIM-BEES if you will). After a quick stop over to Caitlin's Chaotic Craft Corner™ for a lesson in DIYing your own prophylactic wasp nest, the gals segue over to a SIDE CHAT about Boomer grandparents who can't be bothered to attend their only grandchild's first birthday party–and to that we say, buzz off.

The band is back together! This week on The Side Chat, Trish and Krissy officially end their beef (prayer hands) and at last the gals get a chance for a proper catch up (see also: trauma dump). Caitlin finally decides to stop vague-tweeting her life and the group dives into some major life updates, big transitions, and poor coping strategies. After escaping from Fart Jail with our baloney sandwiches and breaking down the emotional terrorism that is that ONE episode of Bluey (IYKYK), the girls post up for a SIDE CHAT about a dad nearly getting arrested for refusing to pay to watch his kid play in a basketball tournament–and let's just say, Caitlin may be scouting herself a second husband.
