It’s Mikaila’s birthday, and yes, we're still recording. Priorities 💅

Ash and Mikaila catch up after a whirlwind trip to Disney and Universal, share elite-level theme park strategies, and spiral into their signature “Curtain Call” segment featuring the internet’s most chaotic, disturbing, and downright unbelievable stories.

From roller coaster trauma to family drama (the wrong kind), this episode swings between hilarious, heartfelt, and “what did I just hear?” energy.

• Recording on Mikaila’s birthday because commitment > cake

• Birthday party recap featuring:

  • A champagne saber (yes, a sword 🗡️)

  • A minor injury (on brand)

  • A 3-liter bottle of Moët and questionable decisions

• Walking 15 miles a day… casually

• The best rides:

  • Hagrid’s Motorbike (worth every second)

  • Tron (rode it THREE times)

  • Tower of Terror (unexpected favorite)

• The most terrifying ride:

  • Velocicoaster = immediate regret

🔥 Pro Tips:

• Use single rider lines to skip insane waits

• Hit rides at rope drop for shorter lines

• Disney queues are basically mini-movies while you wait

• Strategic drink choices = fewer bathroom emergencies

This episode’s questions go off the rails fast:

Is it normal to have sexual thoughts about relatives?

• Short answer: No

• Long answer: Please seek therapy

Wild Laws & Social Commentary

• Debate over bathroom laws vs. cousin marriage legality

• Discussion on empathy, boundaries, and basic human decency

Reddit-Level Drama

• Husband divorcing wife to marry her mom (yes, really)

• Ongoing discussion about narcissism, empathy, and “what is wrong with people”

Creepy Family Situation

• Story of a stepfather violating boundaries

• Strong reminder: trust your instincts, always

The “Changeling” Story

• A child goes missing for two days… returns different

• Missing birthmark, strange memories, unrecognizing dogs

• Raises questions about:

  • Alternate realities?

  • Psychological trauma?

  • Or something even weirder…

• Nature vs. nurture (psychopathy vs. sociopathy)

• Adoption, chosen family, and what makes someone a parent

• Why some stories restore your faith in humanity… and others absolutely do not

“Sharing is not caring in this case.”

This week, we’re recording in the same state, in the same room, which means double the chaos, half the self-control, and at least one questionable medical anecdote before noon. Sound is a bit off because of the recording situation so apologies if Mikaila is louder (than normal) and Ash is quiet (that's a first). Buckle up.

We’re days away from Disney World, one of us has never been to Florida, and we are aggressively budgeting like responsible adults… while still drinking wine out of motivational mugs.

We recap:

• Exploring POST Houston rooftop vibes

• A long-distance birthday party via FaceTime

• A 4:30am Vicks-on-the-feet intervention

We will eat everything… except maybe cube-shaped testicles. More on that shortly.

This week’s submissions and stories include:

• A revenge story involving a rug and unresolved intimacy

• A cube-shaped anatomy situation that cannot be medically confirmed

• A cousin who weaponized Google Nest with testicular photography

• A nurse who swapped babies in a soap-level betrayal

• A mother fighting corruption for seven years to see her kidnapped son

• An elaborate public proposal goes sideways when the engagement ring ends up on the wrong cupcake.
• A husband discovers his wife’s affair in real time. Instead of violence, he chooses strategy.

We briefly detour into the chilling case of Lucy Letby and discuss why the psychology behind crimes is more terrifying than the crimes themselves.

We had some technical difficulties so this episode is a day and a half late... sorryboutit!

This week the chaos dial is fully broken. We kick things off with a spicy pop-culture rundown of the Super Bowl halftime show, the politics of Bad Bunny discourse, and why Latin representation still makes people weird for no reason. From there we detour through Budweiser commercials that cause emotional damage, William Shatner aging in reverse, and Olympic athletes catching heat for having opinions.

Then it’s story time: a Vegas trip that turned into a penthouse upgrade through the power of being nice, followed by Curtain Calls featuring roommates hiding full-grown men, litter box revenge, attic squatters, and a possible bar ghost who only throws vodka.

We close with soap-opera brain rot, Friends deep cuts, coma ethics, and an absolutely unhinged petty-revenge stepmom jewelry lawsuit that deserves its own limited series.

Episode five kicks off with big news: the podcast is officially live! Ash and Mikaila celebrate their first downloads, spiral into millennial slang nostalgia, and debate everything from frosted tips to regional catchphrases while adjusting to the reality that Gen Z has words that mean… absolutely nothing.

The vibe is cozy chaos with wine in hand.

Then it’s time for Curtain Calls, the rapid-fire anonymous confessions and “am I the jerk?” dilemmas. Topics include:

• A disappearing parent who leaves their kid for “20 minutes” that turns into hours

• A secret child from an affair

• A truly baffling bathroom confession that raises more logistical questions than answers

The hosts weigh in with equal parts common sense and disbelief.

The episode’s centerpiece is a deep dive into a a story featuring family revenge, identity twists, and a medical storyline so outrageous it has to be broken down step by step.

Along the way, the conversation detours into college horror stories, roommate revenge, and the universal rule that you can do a lot of things in life… but you still need to wash your sheets.

What to expect in this episode:

• Launch day excitement and behind-the-scenes podcast talk

• Millennial vs. Gen Z slang confusion

• Seattle sports, celebrity sightings, and wine chat

• Wild anonymous confessions and moral debates

• A legendary soap opera storyline that has to be heard to be believed

• Plenty of laughs, tangents, and absolutely no filter

Listener discretion advised: this one is not safe for work, not safe for kids, and possibly not safe for anyone drinking coffee while listening.

This episode gets an extra dose of insight and intrigue with a special guest: the other Ashley in our lives, Ash’s longtime friend and a licensed counselor who brings a whole new perspective to the wild stories we unpack. She opens up about her own jaw-dropping journey, from discovering her biological father in her 20s to what it was like growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness.

Along the way, we dive into tales that sound too outrageous to be real but absolutely are: pool boys with extracurricular activities that left more than ripples, a drunken hookup that crossed a family line, the curious case of Bear BNBs and Poop Processors, a cheating and manipulative predator who left chaos in his wake, and an unhinged mom-daughter duo that might just take the crown for most unforgettable pair. Buckle up, because this episode blends shock, humor, and real-life drama with a professional lens you won’t want to miss.

This episode is an absolute rollercoaster in the best (and weirdest) way. Ash and Mikaila are back with a stacked lineup of stories that will have you questioning reality, humanity, and maybe mall security protocols.

We cover a full-on glitch in the matrix that happened in a mall. One of those stories that feels small at first and then spirals into wait… that’s not possible. From there, we dive into Mandela Effect theories, memory rabbit holes, and the unsettling idea that reality might not be as stable as we’d like to believe.

Things take a turn toward iconic chaos with a 1950's badass Granny on a mission. Fueled by pure determination and a personal vendetta, she proves revenge can be sweet and that underestimating women is always a mistake.

As if that wasn’t enough, we also unpack a nude fountain fiasco that’s equal parts talk-of-the-country-club and "damn I'm proud of her". It’s messy, absurd, and exactly the kind of story that makes you grateful you weren’t there… but very glad you get to hear about it.

This episode also includes a deeply sad and unsettling story involving a woman who believes she was drugged by her husband on the night he died. We discuss the circumstances surrounding that night, her lingering questions, and the emotional weight of trying to piece together events when memory, trust, and grief collide.

As always, Ash and Mikaila bring their signature mix of humor, curiosity, and “are you kidding me?” energy while breaking down each story and reacting in real time.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide and drug-induced incapacitation. Listener discretion is advised.

Strap in, keep an open mind, and maybe double-check that reality is still functioning properly, because this episode takes you on a ride!
