Funny in the Fire

    Crash Out Moms, Sick Kids & Facebook Marketplace Finds

    Welcome to Spring 2026! Brittany and Katie are kicking things off with a heavy dose of congestion, migraines, and the joys of "Strep Season." Between alternating Tylenol and Motrin for the kids and navigating the "climbing the walls" chaos of pediatric urgent care, the duo dives into the wild world of the "default parent." Katie recounts her recent Instagram battle with a holistic nurse practitioner over Miralax (spoiler: "just change their diet" isn't the magic fix for a stubborn 3-year-old), while Brittany shares her theory on why her stable marriage gives her the freedom to have "everywhere else crazy." They also take a trip down memory lane to discuss the climate-crisis-inducing water bottle rules of their youth, the moldy Igloo thermoses of the 90s, and why they both missed their calling as Big Ten football fans. Plus, a deep dive into "crash-out" slang, the ethics of lab-grown diamonds, and why the local "Buy Nothing" group is the best place to find free Polaroid film—and half-eaten jars of mayo. The Sick Kid Cycle: Navigating strep throat, high fevers, and the "ventriloquist" voice of a swollen-tonsil toddler. Parenting Under Pressure: Dealing with "fearmonger" social media accounts and the reality of feeding kids in America. Career "What-Ifs": From audiology and teaching to construction and marketing—and why nobody told Andrew he could be an architect. Thrifting & Trends: A love letter to Gen Z slang (Slay, Queen!), Depop disappointments, and Facebook Marketplace treasures. The Diamond Debate: The Crater of Diamonds State Park and why resizing your ring leads to a homeowner’s insurance existential crisis.

    Daylight Savings and Catholic School Confessions

    We made it to Episode 10 and we are way too excited about it. 🎉 This week’s episode of Funny in the Fire is full of chaotic stories, questionable childhood decisions, and the usual mom-life reality checks. We kick things off with Brittany explaining the gourmet buffet her dog Milli apparently enjoyed, which included an emergency stash of Zofran, an EpiPen, Tylenol, and Klonopin (because why eat dog food when pharmaceuticals are available?). From there we spiral into:• Daylight Savings Time and why everyone needs to calm down because somehow the kids are completely unaffected.• Brittany discovering Katie went to Catholic school her entire life and has some wild stories to prove it.• School picture day outfits and why parents treated it like the Met Gala.• Katie attending a religious retreat where people confess their most embarrassing stories.• Brittany getting asked to leave a Catholic school dance for dancing a little too enthusiastically.• The absolutely unhinged trend of boys “pantsing” girls in middle school (why was this allowed?!).• Growing up, peer pressure, learning boundaries, and saying no to shots.• The strange moment in parenting when you stop calling your babies by their actual names.• Katie turning her sister’s turtlenecks into tube-top dresses.• And the discovery of BINGO LOCO, which Katie may or may not be doing for her birthday. Basically: childhood chaos, parenting chaos, and the realization that we all survived somehow. 🎧 Follow us on Instagram: @funnyinthefire, @brittanyfindsthefunny, and @regardingkatie_📩 Email your embarrassing stories to: funnyinthefire@gmail.com Because if you can laugh about it… you’re probably Funny in the Fire. 🔥
