Frosted Tips & Questionable Decisions | really...
Twenty-five years after graduating from Lebanon High School in Lebanon, Virginia, Michael-Thomas heads back to his old stomping grounds for his high school reunion—and Sierra has QUESTIONS.Who actually organizes these things? Is there still high school drama? Does everybody secretly compare their accomplishments? And, most importantly, what were we THINKING with those frosted tips, puka shell necklaces, tanning beds, and toe rings?This week on Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we're traveling back to the early 2000s, when AOL Instant Messenger was social media, disposable cameras kept our secrets, and nobody had to worry about their questionable decisions becoming TikTok content.Between memories of high school in Southwest Virginia, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, the fashion disasters of 2001, and the harsh realities of middle age, we discover that sometimes going back is less about reliving the past and more about appreciating how far we've come.It's nostalgic, a little unhinged, surprisingly heartfelt, and full of the kind of conversations that make you wonder how we got here.🎙️ New episodes of Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas weekly!🎧 Watch, listen, and follow: https://bit.ly/reallypodReally… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas is a GrifChap Studio production.Executive Producers: Sierra Chapman & M.

Dolly, Honey, You Done Good... | really...
Some people are celebrities. Some are legends. And then there's Dolly Parton. ❤️ This week on Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we're celebrating the life, music, laughter, and extraordinary legacy of the one and only Dolly Parton. As two lifelong admirers from the mountains of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee, Dolly has always felt like one of our own. From our unforgettable experience seeing her live in Knoxville in 2011 to the songs, movies, and memories that shaped our lives, we're sharing what made this Appalachian icon so special to us. We're reminiscing about classics like "Jolene," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You," her unforgettable performances in Steel Magnolias and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and the incredible generosity behind Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Along the way, we talk about Appalachian pride, embracing who you are, the power of kindness, and how one woman with big hair, an even bigger personality, and an extraordinary heart made the world a little brighter. There are tears, plenty of laughs, a few questionable tangents, and a whole lot of love for our patron saint of Tennessee. Dolly, honey, you done good. ❤️ #DollyParton #DollyPartonTribute #AppalachianPride #ReallyPodcast #countrymusic 🎙️ Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas — two best friends, absolutely ridiculous conversations, and a little heart along the way. 🎧 Watch, listen, and follow: https://bit.ly/reallypod Tell us in the comments: What's your favorite Dolly Parton song, movie, or memory? 📚 Keep Dolly's Legacy Alive!

Apparently, a whole lot of questionable decisions.This week on Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we're busting healthcare myths, sharing stories from human and veterinary medicine, and discussing everything from Q-tips and medication mishaps to flea prevention, essential oils, and the surprisingly common problem of people mistaking their dogs' nipples for ticks.

What do college course numbers actually mean? Why don’t schools teach us how to do taxes?
