Bullies Ain't Sh*t, Concert Drama, & "Snitching"
Kila and Ashley finally got the mics rolling again — and this one's a whole lot of crazy. This week we get into: - Why we HATE bullies (looking at you, Murfreesboro) and why a three-on-one ain't a fight - The "anonymous" snitch app that was... not anonymous at all - Country concert chaos: Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Tim McGraw & the boring suite-life rich folks - Brett Favre needs to moisturize (somebody get this man some Aquaphor) - Big Trend Energy — GoTrend, shout out to Trend - Ashley's AStock auction addiction, a beach wheelchair, and a yard-sale meltdown - Snitch stories, red lasers, and cops surrounding the house - Mom the fixer, paraffin-wax feet, and gluing dead skin in the craft room - Praying Ethan makes it off that plane (no phone, Dad circling the airport) We met on TikTok when our stories collided, and we named this podcast after the one thing we definitely have in common — raising our mamas. So buckle up. ⚠️ Warning: intended for mature audiences only. Graphic descriptions, adult dialogue, and strong language. Listener discretion is advised. We talk about traumatic shit. 👉 Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE — we're really close to monetizing! Even share it with them whores you don't like. And leave us a 5-star review.

Three Years of Crazy: Family Karen's. ADHD Time, & CBD Disasters
It's our 3-year anniversary, y'all — and we're celebrating the only way we know how: yappin' about the crazy. Kila rolls in fired up about a "Karen" and we get into the big question — does everybody have one, or does crazy just attract crazy? Ashley breaks down what she learned from ADHD 2.0 (turns out ADHD brains only know two times: "now" and "not now") and how it affects us all. Plus the Hibachi laugh attack that almost killed us on anniversary night, and a CBD horror story you have to hear to believe — Kristi's sweet daddy gave her 86-year-old Cherokee mama (Miss Sally) a tincture so strong she got on stage to pray for the Governor, looked at her notes, said "I don't know why I'm here or what I'm supposed to say," and walked off. She's been telling everybody he tried to kill her ever since. Homework before next week: watch "The Crash" on Netflix — Keela's got inside intel and we're getting into it. ⚠️ Mature audiences. We talk about traumatic shit.

Delta 8, Drug-Induced Psychosis & a Wheelchair Bidding Spree
We're back after a month off — Kila had pneumonia (three shots, a round of steroids, and still wheezing), Ashley is deep in menopause hell, and Aniston's Mother's Day Photoshop of her mama as a 250-lb trailer-park queen with a brown-filter cigarette is officially the cover of Ashley's future memoir. Then we get into the real reason we needed to record: Delta 8 and drug-induced psychosis. Kila's nephew Ethan has schizophrenia that gets triggered every single time he touches Delta 8 — selling it at gas stations with no shoes on, ending up in Clarksville, the works. Ashley's been watching her late best friend's daughter spiral the same way: Snapchat threats, gang talk, "Indian burial ground" messages, a gun nobody can account for, and four hospital stays where the family can't get a scrap of information because she won't sign the release. We talk about why the 72-hour hold system is broken, why we need real long-term mental health housing back, and why this needs to be a PSA — Delta 8 and mental health meds do not mix. (Tennessee, get on Kratom too while you're at it.) Then we lighten it up: Ashley confesses her A-Stock auction addiction — bidding $2 a pop on six wheelchairs, a walker, ramps, a catalytic converter for a '99 Grand Am, and a chandelier — and recording Hagen's face as she breaks the news. Plus a brutally honest review of her $250 Fun Delivered undelivered-mail mystery box (a hairball-relief cat med, vaginal probiotics, "Moore Mafia" hoodie, and a Starbucks glass bear that broke the next day). Also: we're making money on the podcast now, Willa is talking in full sentences, and we're taking a short summer hiatus while gas is $4.29 — but we are not quitting. Follow us on Facebook for the next drop date. Don't do Delta 8 if you've got mental health issues. Love y'all. Bye, bitches.

We're back, y'all — and we didn't waste any time. Ashley and Kayla are fresh off a night at the Ryman catching Danae Hayes' stand-up show (meet and greet included), and they have thoughts.

The girls dive deep into Hollywood conspiracy theories — skin suits, 450-year-old actors, Cat Williams, and why wearing a dress on TV means more than you think. Plus: the Taylor Paul/Bachelorette drama, the Duggar mess, Nashville Electric getting vandalized after the storm, and how social media is giving real talent a shot without owing anyone anything.
