    We Trained For This: DeLuLu Olympics

    This week on Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth and Chelsey enter the Delulu Olympics, where confidence is high, qualifications are low, and absolutely nobody is prepared. From fake athlete personas to wildly inflated self-belief, the women compete in events like Financial Gymnastics, the Overthinking Floor Routine, and Delusional Confidence. They debate whether impulsive hobbies, emotional support purchases, and life decisions made during Target trips are delusional, iconic, or somehow both. Along the way, Beth overanalyzes innocent text messages, Chelsey defends her “expertise” after one YouTube video, and both discover they may deserve gold medals in retail therapy. There are questionable life choices, rapid-fire chaos, and just enough self-awareness to make it dangerous. Add in Airheads, minimal distractions for once, and fits of laughter, and you’ve got Olympics like no other. Honestly, they trained for this.

    Real, Fake, or Wisconsin

    This week on Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth and Chelsey play “Real, Fake, or Wisconsin News,” trying to figure out whether bizarre headlines are real, completely made up, or somehow happened right here in our backyard. The stories get weird and unhinged, and there are way too many moments where the answer could honestly be all three. Along the way, the conversation spirals into hyper-specific Wisconsin experiences and references that only locals would truly understand. Things completely fall apart when we casually discover Chelsey doesn’t know the difference between deviled eggs and egg salad, sending Beth into immediate disbelief and giggles. It’s chaotic, oddly relatable, aggressively Midwestern, and feels more like two friends spiraling at a kitchen table than a podcast episode.

    Love Actually and Other Tangents

    This week on Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth, Chelsey, and their friend JJ sit down for a conversation that starts with doing their nails and quickly turns into a deep dive on love, relationships, and connection. Along the way, they spiral into tangents about food, ADHD, life experiences, sobriety, and the weird ways our brains work. Some moments are hilarious, some get unexpectedly emotional, and a few feel a little too relatable. The trio talks about what love is, what it isn’t, and how friendship can sometimes carry us through the hardest seasons. There’s laughter, honesty, chaos, and probably a snack discussion or two because this was recorded on cinco de mayo! Like most episodes, the conversation bounces all over the place, but somehow always finds its way back to the heart of things. It’s messy, funny, thoughtful, and feels more like hanging out with friends than listening to a podcast.

    Best Day Ever

    Beth and Chelsey are coming in hot with a full recap of what might actually be the best day ever—and no, they’re not exaggerating. It kicks off with a cozy, indulgent lunch at Le Reve Patisserie & Café, setting the tone for a day that just kept getting better. From there, they get swept into the magic of Alice in Wonderland Ballet Milwaukee, fully embracing the whimsy, the artistry, and the “we should do this more often” energy. They wander through resale shops: bookstores and clothing racks alike, finding little gems and giving main character energy the whole way through. A stop at the lively Milwaukee Public Market rounds out the adventure with good food, good vibes, and zero rush to be anywhere else. Somewhere in the middle (and honestly, throughout), they’re playing rummy, talking, laughing, doing a little friendly bickering, and leaning into the kind of ease that’s rare and wildly underrated. This episode isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about recognizing it when it quietly shows up. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best days don’t need to be planned to death, they just need the right company, a little curiosity, and space to enjoy it all.

    Our Midwestern Is Showing

    In this episode of Chickens Are The New Kittens, we attempt to pick a lunch spot for before the ballet… and immediately spiral. What should be a quick decision turns into gardening updates, TV shows Chelsey is very behind on, and a passionate breakdown of actors we love for questionable reasons. We somehow detour into Beth’s kids speaking different languages (one well… and another not so much), our own language fails, and a completely unqualified discussion about how many languages are spoken in Africa. Just when we think we’re back on track, cats enter the chat and derail us again. We do eventually land on the most obvious lunch choice and can’t believe it took us that long. Then comes the Midwestern goodbye… which, naturally, turns into one more conversation, because the real question is: who wouldn’t Chelsey go for at this point? We do finally manage to wrap it up… honestly.

    Do You Hear What I Hear?

    Beth and Chelsey put their ears to the ultimate test in this chaotic guessing game, challenging each other with everyday objects that definitely “make noise”… but don’t always make sense. Eyes closed tight and relying purely on instinct, they take turns throwing out guesses that range from oddly impressive to completely unhinged. Is the game fair? That’s up for debate. Let’s just say someone may or may not have a suspiciously sharp sense of hearing. What starts as a simple challenge quickly spirals into a competitive showdown filled with trash talk, second-guessing, and moments of pure disbelief. Every sound becomes a clue, every guess a gamble, and the tension builds with each round. By the end, one thing is certain—there is a winner… but you’ll have to listen to find out who takes the crown.

    Marriage the Sequel; What Didn’t Kill Us Sent Us To Therapy

    This one gets real, real fast. Chelsey steps into the driver’s seat, tossing out prompts that crack things open as Beth and guest Nick dig into the chaos, growth, and hard-earned wisdom between marriage round one and round two. Nothing is off limits: what went wrong, what we ignored, what we swore we’d never repeat… and what we somehow did anyway. We lay out the differences between first and second marriages, but also the uncomfortable similarities that followed us right into round two. After 29 years of friendship, Beth and Nick bring a whole history of receipts, patterns, and inside knowledge to the table. The conversation gets deep, then derails, then snaps back into something unexpectedly honest. There’s laughter, a little side-eye, and more than a few “wow, that’s actually true” moments. We talk about what we’ve learned, what we’re still working through, and the small wins that actually matter this time around. It’s messy, reflective, and just self-aware enough to admit—we’re all still figuring it out.

    Mischief Managed

    Two girls, one wizarding world, and a whole lot of opinions, this week we’re diving headfirst into the Marauders and asking the real question: were they actually good people, or just really loyal to each other? We break down the chaos, the friendship, the questionable choices, and yes, the bullying, because let’s be honest, these boys were a mixed bag. Chelsey and I agree on most of it (shocking, I know), but where we don’t… we really don’t. Expect some strong takes, a little friendly arguing, and the usual off-track tangent because apparently we can’t stay on topic to save our lives. We also sprinkle in a few extra Harry Potter thoughts because once we start, there’s no stopping us. If you’ve ever defended, questioned, or side-eyed the Marauders, this one’s for you. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the hot takes.
