Welcome to conversations over coffee with two hard-working women who are lifelong friends. Even though we've walked different paths, we share a quirky sense of humor and infuse our stories with some pretty salty language. We share our messes and adventures and most of the time our stories aren’t graceful, or wrapped up with a bow on top – most of the time, they're just the mugly truth.

Today we talk about movies that are part of the great "Is it a Christmas movie or not?" debate, the likes of which include Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Gremlins, Better Off Dead, Meet Me in St. Louis, The Ref and so many more. If you're not ready for Elf, A Christmas Story or Miracle on 34th Street, you can get primed for the holidays in a less traditi…

We don't even know what happened with the topic for this episode because when we sat down to record, an organic conversation of our feelings about Disney's current shenanigans, gas prices, the state of healthcare and then more about Disney sort of spewed out.

Viewing real estate websites is the stuff of daydreams: sneaky peeks of spacious open floorplans with a killer view, whether you're just wishing, or actually looking to buy. And anyone who's been on a site like Zillow or Redfin, has likely seen at least one house that truly made them go "hmmmmm". So today we're talking about some of those weird pro…

Everyone knows the big names of cinematic villain history, there's a whole universe of them out there that rock our spooky world.

Today's conversation is quite organic. We discuss our ongoing concerns about the pandemic, pay homage to some celebrities who have recently passed (some from Covid), and then talk about 9/11 and Columbine and how mass trauma has a massive ripple effect. We reference two podcasts: 9/12 and Confronting Columbine, both of which both have provided a wh…

Grab your coffee, sit down and enjoy today's talk about Disney's Magic Keys pricing system, the Disney+ show "Behind the Attraction," and other Disney fun facts before the subject turns to how merely commenting on the internet can get you fired, freedom of speech, and the power of "just keep scrolling." Oh, and bonus points if anyone knows how many…

"This word you keep saying...I don't think it means what you think it means."

So grab your soda/pop/cola, kick off you…

...How it's going now. Ahh, getting old. Nobody told us what to expect, or, if they did we didn't listen. Likely we just thought, "Who cares. That's a hundred years from now."

Just like Ross and Rachel...WE WERE ON A BREAK! But now we're back! And just in time to talk about America's Independence Day, what Netflix, YouTube and Prime shows we're hooked on (Bridgerton, The Nevers, Christine McConnell anyone?) as well as a bit of state of the nation opining.

Our discussion turns to viral social media trends we'll be glad to never see again, including using explosive devices used for gender-reveals.

We had a light and airy podcast planned but could not continue to keep quiet about what is happening in our country today.

Today we practice social distancing for a much needed outdoors friendly chat. There's no main topic, just two friends catching up, and, yeah, dropping some f-bombs about the stupidity of some things happening in this world (don't drink bleach people).

Of course, we lighten the topic with a harrowing tale from the eight-legge…
