HOTLINE CALLER #11 - Neurodivergent Communication in Relationships
3d ago01:07:15Tap to summarizeJeri is back from vacation! She gives us a lil taste of the Parsons family beach trip and all the icks that came with it. Rach and Jeri go on a little "funny business" rant before we get into the hotline caller this week! This week is courtesy of our gorgeous gorgeous caller who asks for advice on how two neurodivergent people can communicate clearly and effectively. Lucky for our caller - that's exactly what Rach and Josh pay the big bucks for at their marriage therapist! So if you are a little neurospicy and feel like you are communicating in a completely different language sometimes... this one is for you.

Transcribe →Secret Life of Pi(per) - Piper's Birth + CF Story
2w ago01:30:27Tap to summarizeThis episode goes out to all the listeners who have asked for more of a deep dive into cystic fibrosis and Rach's motherhood journey through that. Rach brings us all back to October 2024 and how her family's life changed forever when Piper was born. After being labeled with 'failure to thrive' and getting admitted to the hospital, Pip was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 2 weeks old and life has never been the same. It's been a wild journey for the Rosche-Pridemore's but they wouldn't change a single thing about the life that led them to Piper Lynn. We are so proud to be a part of the CF community and are so lucky Piper was born in a time where there is so much medical advancements allowing her to live life to the fullest.

Transcribe →HOTLINE CALLER #10 - How to Explain Your Divorce
3w ago01:03:26Tap to summarizeYou're in luck folks, its a MAXI hotline caller episode this week! We start off with some more conversation around body positivity/neutrality before we answer the hotline call. Our caller asks a question so many divorcees struggle with - how do you explain your divorce when trying to date again? Rach and Jeri try to answer this while also relating it to their own situations (spoiler - they sucked at dating and got married to the first men they went on a date with).

Transcribe →Drop It Low Girl (drop it drop it low girl) - Assumptions About Turning 30
Jun 501:20:52Tap to summarizeDebilitating allergies, childcare crises, body dysmorphia, just a few things potentially waiting for you in your 30s! We had a listener email us asking for an episode dedicated to turning 30, and we asked for your assumptions and boy did you deliver! Rach and Jeri cover all the hits: do we pee ourselves more? What era is more fun? Are prenups cool in your 30s? Are we more financially stable? Did we ever find body positivity/neutrality? Have a listen if you're in your 20s, 30s, or are thriving in your 40s+ and want to give us your perspective on that - leave a comment! Want even MORE Better & Worse content?

Transcribe →HOTLINE CALLER #9 - STDs and Dating
May 2900:40:49Tap to summarizeWhat better way to start off an episode than with Rach's current hyper fixation? You guessed it - it's another rant about Disney which always leads back to Wish... One day something new will occupy her brain but for now it's this (so sorry)! Our hotline email this week brings us to everyone's favorite health class topic - STDs. Rach and Jeri talk about their own experiences with those downstairs devils and try to provide some guidance and comfort to our listener who is struggling with the shame and guilt around another STD scare. Bottom line - shame gets you nowhere but you gotta keep those condoms on you.

Transcribe →No Wonder I'm Crying At Stranger Trees - Conversation Card Game!
May 2200:47:28Tap to summarizeRach and Jeri talk trees and mental illness, expired medications, and we quickly get into a conversation card game. This is an episode dedicated to getting into some of our deeper lore in a fun way! So sit down, grab a bevy, and enjoy the gab! Want even MORE Better & Worse content?

Transcribe →HOTLINE CALLER #8 - Evil Stepmother
May 1501:09:16Tap to summarizeIt's another hotline caller ep but we couldn't resist doing a *tiny* wedding recap before cutting to the episode! Jeri is officially a PARSONS (insert airhorn sounds here)! The day was perfect and beautiful and we wish JD and Barry the happiest life imaginable. For a detailed recap listen to Ladies & Tangents next episode! Our caller/emailer, Sara asks us a loaded question: How can she tell her dad that her stepmother is ruining their relationship (and his life), in a way he will understand? Rach and Jeri talk boundaries, try to psychoanalyze a man they've never met, and Rach may or may not have projected a tiny bit. Bottom line, you should never have to explain to a parent that you are worthy of their time, respect, and loyalty.

Transcribe →The Great Dissection - The Great Divide Album Review
May 801:36:54Tap to summarizeWelcome welcome welcome! Jeri's getting married tommorow (eek!), Rach talks more about her mental health and podcasting before we get into the meat this week. On this episode Rach and Jeri get Swifty with it in honor of Noah Kahan's newest album, The Great Divide. The girls take turns analyzing the lyrics, meaning, and comparing the songs to their own lives for the whole 17 track album. (If you want the extended album edition, head to Patreon!) Long story short : Give it a listen - ideally with noise canceling headphones. Want even MORE Better & Worse content?

Transcribe →Bless This Mess - Rach's Mental Health Check-in
May 101:27:10Tap to summarizeOnce again we bring to you an absolute brain dump of an episode that was supposed to be something else but turned into Jeri ripping Rachel a new one (respectfully). Are Catholics basically pagans? Will Rach ever actually talk about being in a cult? Are vets secretly scammers? Hear our hot takes and so much more before we do a deep dive into the dumpster fire that is Rach's brain these days. Jeri digs into the issues with Rach's inner dialogue, provides perspective on her neurodivergence, and tries to get her to see that she isn't lazy, she's just deeply burnt out. (Rach still isn't sure and is leaning toward being an idiot POS) Want even MORE Better & Worse content?
