About this listen

 We're Sarah Walton and Michele Wang, two 50-something women who've been friends for over 25 years—and all we really want to do is talk some sh*t and laugh our asses off. Not everything has to be "a breakthrough" or "next-level" or "the 5-step path to becoming your best self." We promise you: no important lessons will be taught and no deep dives will be taken. We're officially overwhelmed and drowning with all the self-help, get-better information out there and frankly we're at full capacity. We just want to hang out and we want nothing more than for you to join us. So welcome to Talk Shit and Laugh (TSAL)—a weekly podcast for women, where two lifelong friends, talk about all the random sh*t rolling around in their heads. We're tired of pretending we're fine, sick of fixing ourselves, and deeply craving something real. We promise: No important lessons will be taught No gratuitous self-help Just wildly honest conversations about the things keeping us up at night... or making us snort-laugh. We talk friendship, aging, health, relationships, reinvention, midlife identity crises (plural), and the deeply underrated power of laughing your damn face off—even when the topics are heavy. We won't always know what we're talking about next. But that's kind of the magic. It's real, it's heartfelt, and it's unfiltered—like the group chat you actually want to be in. Whether you're cooking, commuting, or hiding in your bathroom (or pantry) for a few minutes of peace—TSAL is here to remind you that you're not alone—and you're definitely not done. Subscribe now, pour yourself something fabulous, and join this community to talk sh*t and laugh. Welcome. We're so freaking glad you're here.2025 Social Sciences

  • Everything We Love, Hate, and Secretly Judge About the Holidays

    Everything We Love, Hate, and Secretly Judge About the Holidays
    Dec 21 2025

    One wears a Santa hat. One is wearing black. Guess who wore what!

    Because somehow—it's all perfectly "talk sh*t" festive.

    In this episode, we're dishing on our favorite holiday traditions, the food we look forward to all year, how Sarah has 2 Christmas trees, and how Michele rejects a few rules and celebrates with her amazing Mishmas.

    We talk about:

    Decorating chaos
    Comfort food
    Holiday joy (and how we wish people were nicer)
    And how weirdly healing it can be to make your kind of season—no matter what it looks like

    New episodes drop weekly
    Share your favorite holiday traditions—we might read them on the show!

  • Us… But In Another Universe

    Us… But In Another Universe
    Dec 14 2025

    Which One of Us Is the FBI Profiler? Wait for it…

    In this week's episode, we leave this timeline on read and hop on over to the multiverse—where infinite versions of us are living totally different (and sometimes wildly better?) lives.

    We ask the important questions:

    Would Michele be a no-nonsense FBI profiler... or just someone who knows too much?
    Would Sarah have become a stand-up comic touring the world with emotionally devastating punchlines?
    Is Michele secretly a super chill mom in another dimension (no minivan, minimal PTA involvement)?
    Could Sarah be the CEO of a mega-business empire that runs on iced coffee, intuition, and hard boundaries?

    Listen if you've ever wondered who you'd be if you'd made just one different choice… or if you're 92% sure you're meant to be living near water with a mysterious past.

  • Shows We Love and Why We're Subscribed to 97 Things

    Shows We Love and Why We're Subscribed to 97 Things
    Dec 7 2025

    This week, we're talking about the TV shows that stole our hearts, broke our brains, and how much we loathe streaming bills.

    Think:
    Deep obsession with all things alien related (but only if the humans are in peril)
    Chills (and possible nightmares?) about The Fall of the House of Usher
    Softcore nostalgia for Little House on the Prairie
    Aggressive rejection (Sarah) and keep love (Michele) of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

    We've got hot takes, comfort picks, and strong feelings about the fact that we're now subscribed to six streaming services just to rewatch one thing in fuzzy socks. Justice for our wallets.

    PLUS:
    We want to hear your faves too—send us your underrated gems, old favorites, and shows you'd rewatch annually like it's a holiday.

    Listen if:
    You love a strong TV opinion, secretly cried at the Lasso finale, and have no idea how to cancel Apple TV.

    New episodes every Sunday
    DM us your rides-or-die shows @talkshitandlaugh—no judgment (unless it's Mormon Wives).
