Chips for Breakfast, Vibration Plates for Christmas

Christmas included a full house and a whole lot of stinky armpits for Cynthia, while Heather returns from Mexico after eating chips for breakfast for a week. The two swap gift stories—Heather accidentally opens Lulu underwear in front of her extended family and Cynthia’s vibration plate brings far more laughter than fitness. There’s also a robust discussion around family game fails (including elderly Empire confusion and duplicate Elon Musks), Heather’s dog’s unfortunate post-boarding situation, and Cynthia’s strangely joyful obsession with Amazon returns. Plus—we’re announcing a live Zoom event on January 27 at 7:30 PM CT for those who preorder Cynthia’s new book, How’d I Miss That? If you haven’t ordered yet, this is the perfect time to jump in, support Cynthia, and to chat live with both of us! **Fill out this form to join us on January 27th Become a Supertracker: sign up here Connect with Us: Website: Sidetracked Instagram: CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow) YouTube: sidetracked with cynthia & heather Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone) Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof) Links Mentioned: Order your Must Be Nice hat here before they are sold out!

Repos, Rockettes, and Shapewear “Situations”

This episode is officially Sidetracked by Brett—according to Riverside stats and real life. Cynthia outsources a half marathon, still beats Mike, and proves once again that efficiency is a spiritual gift. Meanwhile, Heather’s car gets repossessed, tracked down via Life360, and narrowly saved from auction, which feels extremely on-brand for this show. From there, it’s New York chaos (13.5 miles walked, Bergdorf snobbery, fake purses, secondhand smoke highs, and Rockettes with an obstructed view), followed by Christmas décor spirals, nutcracker regrets, and a Favorite Things party that deserves its own documentary. They wrap it all up with wedding season panic, shapewear betrayal in multiple fast-food bathrooms, Chanel lip gloss theft (no apologies), gift-wrapping parties as ministry, and the reminder that motherhood is mostly logistics, friendship, and laughing so you don’t cry.

Mounting Dogs and Menopausal Bras

Heather and Cynthia are back after Thanksgiving and fully committed to the chaos that is early December—menopausal bras, mounting dogs, viral Walmart sweaters, and all that kinda stuff. Heather recaps her Floribama trip and attending church in a bar. Cynthia counters with peak Christmas in Dallas energy with a decked–out Advent service where the trees were glowing, Silent Night was soaring, and JB chose to bring in …a Rubik’s Cube. During church. Naturally. They talk about college kids coming home (and changing the whole vibe of the house in about 12 hours), using ChatGPT as a free holiday therapist, and a viral post from a 76-year-old grandma that has them rethinking how much we center everything around the nuclear family at the holidays. There are front-yard cigar sessions, awkward ex-boyfriend run-ins, grandmas eating puzzle pieces, and a deep dive into whether anyone actually needs Matthew McConaughey’s book of poems and prayers under the tree.

Prairie Drama, Porch Pirates, and Tangled-Up Teens

Another week, another Sidetracked stacked with unfiltered life chaos. Cynthia breaks down her girls’ trip—which included a hotel Little House on the Prairie binge and a heated debate over why Almanzo is clearly a 40-year-old courting a child—followed by her now-infamous “did you poop your pants?” bench incident, and the fence-straddle injury that officially shut down her reproductive department. Heather brings the world’s worst “wife” hat—so atrocious even a porch pirate said “absolutely not”—plus a teenage car moment that left everyone literally wired. And they both ask ChatGPT “What three celebrities am I a mix of?” with results ranging from Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines (you better believe Cynthia lost her mind over this.) Today’s episode promises electric wires, questionable fashion, prairie romance analysis, and a soft pitch to HGTV—you’re welcome.

Pancreatitis, Pre-Check, and Pronouncing Gayla

Heather and Cynthia come in hot today talking about the “not a birthday party” Heather planned for Cynthia — featuring Bridgerton gowns, Boy Scout uniforms, and Heather wearing her mom’s silk ball gown that allegedly ties 11 different ways (some of which should probably never see daylight). Vegas also makes an appearance — where Mike booked a 6:30 a.m. flight “because it was cheaper,” entered Cynthia’s birthday wrong, and waltzed through TSA PreCheck while she stood with the masses questioning her life. It’s peak Sidetracked today: medical drama, surprise costumes, a gala/gay-la/gah-la pronunciation debate, husbands panicking over dress codes, and moms turning hospital IVs into spa fantasies. Come for the gallbladder chaos; stay for the gala spiral — and leave wondering if Cynthia has a slot machine problem.

A Bomb Yeti, Butter Sculpture, and 10 Pizzas later

Heather and Cynthia kick things off with a “poop—sorry, chocolate—brown” homecoming dress and TSA confusing a sentimental Yeti stuffed with a toothbrush charger for a small explosive. In related headlines, Heather shares her Oprah dream (because Cynthia really loves hearing people talk about dreams), and there’s talk of a garage door, a mysterious Snapchat troll, and ten unsolicited Papa John’s pizzas. Today is fully on brand for Sidetracked: mom drama, mean girls, rollercoasters with strangers, and the shocking revelation that Carol Burnett is still alive. Come for the color analysis; stay for the butter sculpture pitch (a Croc with gibbets, obviously), and never forget the age-old truth that people be people-in’.

On today’s episode, we get gloriously sidetracked by life’s adventures—like forgetting to pay the water bill, paying stadium prices for bottled water, and mourning the very first ding on a brand-new car.

Introducing the Leanne Morgan of Dallas and Mesh Shoes

The saga of Cynthia’s mace incident continues, and this time, poor Dorthy is the next unexpected victim. Cynthia’s family is trying to keep her humble, reminding her she is not a comedian, all while Heather gives the mail lady a lift to Highland Park Village and Bruce goes all in celebrating her half birthday.
