PODCAST

The Side Chat

Kristen Walters, Tricia Olds, Caitlin Kean

Everyone knows the best conversations happen in the 3 person group chat with the weird name. Join Krissy, Tricia, and Caitlin as they SIDE CHAT about all the unhinged things going down in the main chat. Each week, the girls discuss (and let"s be honest, judge) listener-submitted stories of wild, out-of-pocket, and otherwise wtf experiences popping off in real-life group chats. Along the way, they deep dive into everything pop culture, motherhood, adult friendship, and beyond–all while talking over

It's a new week on The Side Chat and the cortisol coffers are DEPLETED thanks to the white-hot anxiety rollercoaster that is trying to sell a home. A ill-timed water leak leads to some serious waterworks–both literally and emotionally–as well as a cast of New Jersey characters parading through the pod thanks to some overzealous voice acting from Cait. Despite it all, the gals unpack (let's be honest, try to convince themselves) that anxiety is NOT intuition and life isn't just moving from one

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

To all the husbands reveling in our anguish: BEWARE. This week on The Side Chat, the girls are beefin'–or at least that's the rumor Caitlin's starting. Tricia has the week off and Caitlin feels like her mommies got divorced and are sharing custody of the pod. But the show must go on–even if that means someone else has to Pull a Trish for once. First order of business: getting our favorite animals officially on the record (FINALLY). Then, we spiral gracefully into why we’re not exactly joys to be

Murphy's Law

This week on The Side Chat, Murphy's Law is in full effect–and has even claimed one of our own! That's right, the ladies are down a mom and Tricia and Caitlin are forced to soldier on with a glaring Krissy-shaped hole in the pod (and their hearts). But fear not, the gals still manage to go HARD IN THE PAINT despite Krissy's absence (nay, in her honor)–because we're no quitters (despite what it might say in Caitlin's calendar). The girls unpack their kids terrible taste in music, broken fridges (and

This week on THE SIDE CHAT, the ladies are doing great. No, really. GREAT. Totally thriving.Nothing to worry about here AT ALL. Sure, our mental health is hanging on by a chicken sleazer salad, but that won't stop the gals from getting Krissy up to speed on all things White Lotus just in time for the finale–including planning our own 3 person girls trip (we learned nothing from this season). After a quick Jeremy PIVOT over to a meeting of the Natasha Rothwell Appreciation Club, the girls talk about

This week on The Side Chat, the gals are renting clothes and whole new identities postpartum–because snapback culture can lose our numbers. After divulging their go-to karaoke songs, the ladies JEREMY PIVOT into celebrity sightings, whether Krissy is actually tall, and selling feet pics to avoid dreaded homeownership tasks. Speaking of unpleasant things, the girls also discuss the horrors or rawdogging a restaurant visit with your kids without any distractions (NB: our lawyers have advised we stop

This week on The Side Chat, the gals are wartime reporting from the trenches of motherhood. We’re talking about the consequences of parenting other people’s kids (spoiler: Caitlin is yelling at all the neighborhood kids), 4 year olds rocking full glam for dance recitals, and the surprisingly emotional milestone that is baby’s first haircut. After securing tickets to Tailor Swit's Eons Tour (no relation), the ladies segue over to a SIDE CHAT about surgically removing flaky parents who bail on

Here's a little math problem for all you Side Chicks out there: what does 1.5 functioning brain cells after a girls weekend in Palm Beach + 1 sensory deprivation tank + 1 unsolicited email from a work colleague with limited social skills + 1 landscape architect on the brink of being DOGEd equal? This week's episode of The Side Chat, of course!

Ward, don't be so hard on the Side Chicks. It's a new week which can only mean one thing: the ladies of The Side Chat are crowning a new winner of "Worst Week Ever." It's a tight race to the bottom as the gals take on stomach bugs while a husband is out of town and a freak accident involving a crib and Native deodorant (#notsponsored). But in the immortal words of Winston Churchill (or was it Desmond Kaufman?): if you're going through hell, KEEP GOING–and that's exactly what the girls do as they

This week on The Side Chat, the ladies are giving away their home addresses, their husbands' blood types, and official licensed Side Hats to anyone who wants them (no questions asked).

In this week's episode, the ladies of The Side Chat are kindly asking the universe and society at large to LOSE OUR NUMBERS. After a long week, the girls are bringing the Thursday energy as they grasp desperately for their words and come up with new shorthands for the sentiment "I want to go missing" (shout out to Beyonce #sponsorus). After ogling Krissy's hair transformation (what is she, single??) and unpacking Trish's Dupe of the Week (spoiler: it involves being bamboozled by a ghost kitchen),

It's the season finale, side chicks! The gals close this season with a banger of an episode: there's a low-stakes Ocean's 11 plot to infiltrate the WTC for "business reasons"; there's a requisite COCK IN THE HENHOUSE; and the ladies even experience another instance of double merch thanks to the myriad #empatheticsweaters in their lives.

This week on The Side Chat, the ladies take an uncharacteristic turn down Serious Avenue to confront death and combat grief the only way they know how: absolute silliness and a disturbing amount of takeout. After an epic intermission thanks to a puking child (put it on the leaderboard!!!), the gals pick up part two with a hyperbolic SIDE CHAT deserving of at least a ZILLION star review.

The gals are handling the general stress of the season flawlessly (despite what the shingles may suggest) all thanks to a little strategy called "gentle parenting" which we're fairly certain children invented to test the limits of their parents' love and patience.
