• really... queue the chaos!
    Oct 14 2025

    This week, Sierra and Michael-Thomas tackle one of modern life’s great annoyances: waiting in line. From checkout queues that wind like a theme park ride to the people who forget how lines even work, we’re talking patience, personal space, and public chaos. Do we need more self-checkouts, fewer impulse aisles, or just better manners? Join us as we air our grievances—politely, of course.

  • really... we're talking about family vacations.
    Oct 7 2025

    Family vacations: the concept sounds relaxing until someone cries in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. In this episode, Sierra and Michael-Thomas talk about the planning, the chaos, the bonding, and the breakdowns that come with “getting away together.” Are vacations with friends just easier? You bet your beach towel they are.

  • really... who's the top dog???
    Sep 30 2025

    In this week's episode, Sierra and Michael-Thomas explore the wild and wonderful bond between humans and their pups—especially those uncanny pairs who start to look alike. From quirky dog-owner dynamics to the unspoken rules of being a responsible pet parent, we dig into what makes dogs truly part of the family. We also explore some of those dog breeds you may have never heard of... and TRUST when we tell you, they're real cute.

    Plus, a brand-new edition of Messages from Mom, and our weekly spotlight: Really… You Should Buy Stuff Here, where we feature our favorite regional small business.

    Grab your leash, treat yourself to a listen, and join us for a conversation that proves life’s just better with dogs.

  • really... per my last email
    Sep 23 2025

    This week, Sierra and Michael-Thomas are circling back to decode the world of corporate-speak—where “per my last email” means “you weren’t listening,” and “let’s touch base” means “prepare for a pointless meeting.” From reply-all fiascos to buzzwords that need to be retired immediately, we’re closing the loop on workplace nonsense and aligning on one key takeaway: it’s all ridiculous.

    We’re breaking down the unspoken rules of the gas station—pump hogs, snack choices, bathroom nightmares, and everything in between. Join Thomas and Sierra as they ask the real question: is there REALLY such a thing as “normal” gas station etiquette?
