Chick Chat

The MESH

When you need a dose of entertainment chatter or just a good giggle, check out Chick Chat. Girls talking about things girls want to talk about. Celebrities, gossip, fads, and boys... the girls around the table touch on all of it! It’s sort of the guilty pleasure of The MESH... the show everyone is listening to, but no one wants to admit that they are.

    George Clooney is Always the Answer

    Well, the election has officially gone too far. Messing with our TV schedule? Absolutely unacceptable. And speaking of television, we weren’t planning on making Dancing with the Stars a topic of the day, but recent episodes had us ugly crying right along with the rest of America. (Major props to production for sparing us an elimination while we were all emotionally compromised.) Naturally, we revisit it later because apparently we’re not done. MM also takes her first spin with The Traitors… although she’s still trying to figure out what the actual point is. But today’s main event? PEOPLE’s annual Sexiest Man Alive issue! Noah Wyle, welcome to the club. We’ve got thoughts on the Readers’ Choice categories (who exactly is making these up?), a pop quiz on past SMA winners featuring some very niche clues, and a reminder that George Clooney is always the safest answer. We also agree that Paul Anthony Kelly is certainly easy on the eyes, but we’re going to need someone to explain the whole “centerfold title” situation. And just when you think we’ve covered all the important cultural developments, we wrap things up with an early peek at a teenage girl’s holiday wish list. Is it too soon to be talking Christmas? Or are we actually right on time? Grab your coffee, settle in, and come hang out. It’s another episode of ChickChat, where the conversations are unpredictable, the opinions are plentiful, and somehow we always circle back to Dancing with the Stars.

    Sleeping Porches, Royal Returns & Reality TV

    The kids are off to college, we’re learning that “sleeping porches” are apparently a thing.  Cold, dark, and quiet… maybe they are on to something? Then, back to our regularly scheduled podcast…  We pay tribute to our original Chick Chatter, Dolly Parton, before diving into Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK.  Does Kate have to be the bigger person?  Is Zara just rolling her eyes constantly? Then we break down this season of Dancing with the Dancers… I mean Stars.  And a little mention of Big Brother as it comes to its final weeks… as always, we have some strong opinions about CBS and their thought process of producing a show (just let ChickChat take it from here). Raise a glass to Dolly and keep screaming at the TV.  It’s time for another ChickChat!

    Congrats and Best Wishes

    Travis & Taylor’s “wedding” has the internet in a frenzy, and we’re breaking down all the over-the-top silliness. Summer House is shaking things up with cast changes (bye, West… so long, Amanda!). Prince Harry popped into London, but apparently Buckingham Palace was fresh out of guest rooms. And the Big Brother 28 cast has officially dropped… and let’s just say… it’s exactly what you’d expect.   Plus, MM delivers a passionate (and perhaps unforgettable) performance of an iconic ‘80s love song, while Janette confesses she’s buying fans… for her already air-conditioned house. Grab your favorite drink, text your bestie, and join us for another episode of ChickChat, where we may be judgey, but we always wish them Best Wishes.

    Beta Blocking The Haters

    We watched.  We judged.  We discussed.   Listen in as Janette and MM give their opinions and thoughts on the Summer House Season 10 reunion - without the aide of a beta blocker. Let’s be honest, pretty sure if West and Amanda would just take our advice, all would be right with the world.    Chat highlights: Who returns to the house?  Will the relationship last? When does Sally join?  Can someone give Jesse a hug?    While their season may be over - ChickChat summer is just beginning!

    Turns Out, I’m Not Good at Adulting.

    Chick Chat with Mary-Margaret and Janette is back! M-M has been excited to discuss all the grown-up stuff she’s been doing.  You know, watching grown-up tv shows, reading grown-up books, listening to grown-up podcasts.  Then, Amanda and West of Bravo’s Summer House had to ruin it all and give us Scandoval 2.0 forcing ChickChat to discuss it on the latest episode.  Ugh, it's hard being a grown-up.     Don’t worry, if you too have been in your grown-up era OR have been living under a rock, we give you the full background on this story so you can follow along!

    Apple Pie and Underwear

    This episode is a full holiday grab-bag of questionable decision-making — in other words, peak ChickChat. We’re kicking things off with teen holiday wish lists, where we decode what’s trending, what’s confusing, and what might require a second mortgage. Then we dive into the internet’s latest crime against good taste: the weird new Kraft mac & cheese flavor no one asked for (but apparently we’re all talking about). From there, things only get stranger as we unpack Charles Barkley’s underwear confession, debate People’s Sexiest Man Alive (did they get it right?), and take a nostalgic detour through classic game shows. It’s festive. It’s unpredictable. It’s ChickChat! Grab some cocoa (or questionable mac & cheese) and join us!

    The Summer I Regret Watching TV

    This episode, we dive headfirst into the summer romance of The Summer I Turned Pretty—because apparently, one girl’s awkward love triangle and poor decision making is the center of the universe (even amongst grown women). Then we mosey over to The McBee Dynasty, where cowboy hats and ranch drama prove that maybe our wild west fantasy isn’t really what we want. Then, we address the wild boar in the room… The Hunting Wives.  Southern gossip, rosé, and just enough soft-core smut to make you double-check who can see your Netflix watch history. Of course, we can’t forget the show of our summer, Big Brother. Except, we have a hard time finding any actual BB players who understand strategy, manipulation, or the concept of playing a game… unless your name is Rachel, in which case, carry on queen. Finally, we wrap things up with the return of our favorite quick-fire segment: This or That—because why not end with absolutely nothing important?

    Time After Time

    Summer is upon us and the schedules are - still busy.  But, alas!  We make time to discuss what exactly our favorite snubbed Royals have been up to lately and how do they make money?   Speaking of rich...Wouldn’t it be something to be so wealthy, that you never have to believe in TIME?  Like, actual time.  No clocks - no birthdays - no deadline.  We discuss which musical songstress IS THAT rich.     Plus we touch on a few shows we are watching these days and what each of us should catch up on, plus the Summer House casting news and a revelation from Jojo Siwa!     Sprinkle some edible flowers in your organic tea and tune in to the latest ChickChat here on The MESH Podcast Network!
