Wait, Sidebar is the podcast version of your group chat: chaotic, comforting, honest. Two San Francisco women who almost have it together turn drop-offs, quick voicemails, dog walks, and other passing moments into weekly unscripted conversations. BB is the planner in her notes app; DeeDee leads with vibes. They riff like sisters with boundaries—on friendships, frazzled mothers, marriage, sex, neighborhood drama, trends, and the rituals that keep us sane. Therapy-adjacent, with worse advice. New episodes weekly.

    Midlife Health Survival Guide

    We dive into the “vitamin vortex” (why gummy trends and supplements feel endless), why sleeping has become a hobby—or a competitive sport—and our takes on the viral “The Squirt Movie” moment. We debate Stanley cups designed for women, swear by SmartyPants chew/gummy vitamins, and discuss how wearable tech like Oura Rings and Apple Watches can help—or add stress. We wrap up in the only way possible, diving into perimenopause and menopause: signs and how confusing it all still is. Wish us luck!

    Be Careful What You Wish For

    Dee Dee turns 40 and returns from her Hawaiian getaway insisting the “free” resort extras were, in fact, free—until real life sends the bill, complete with a kid’s chipped tooth. In true birthday-girl fashion, she’s laughing through it, sharing what she’s welcoming and letting go in the decade ahead. Meanwhile, BB confesses she may have manifested a tick in her kid’s ear (oops), and the gals dive into travel highs/lows, one-trick-pony lip routines, and why “be careful what you wish for” keeps proving itself. Cheers!

    Limited Tickets to Heaven

    BB and Dee hit record with zero gear and maximum chaos. From the wild moment a skipper says “don’t jump in after your kid” to a quick detour offshore, we spin into the greatest conspiracies of all time—what you believe, what you don’t, and what you can actually control. We unpack the 144,000 “tickets to heaven,” the so‑called tick‑breeding theory, and share non‑expert pro tips we picked up while learning about nuclear war, bunkers, and wildfire survival. We hope you life because well YOLO.

    The Death Binder

    A short, off-the-rails lunch chat. We unpack single ladies “date” requests to fix her brakes, our dying wishes, cemetery tree forests, and the oddly satisfying wet dream of a perfectly organized death binder. Short, sweet, a little spicy.

    Autopay or Birkin Bag

    Think success is a mansion or birkin bag? Think smaller — like autopay kicking in while you sip coffee and your brain stops hijacking your sentences. In this episode we unpack the odd little metrics that actually make life feel successful. We riff on childhood comparisons — the kid who owned a whole hill and our tiny paperbacks of envy — why our minds derail mid-sentence, and how to trade the scoreboard of “more” for the radical success of genuinely being happy for others. Wild idea, right?

  6. Nah, that gives me the ICK.

    Nah, that gives me the ICK.

    Buckle up for a cheeky, short-and-sweet episode where we pin the icks on everyone else—mostly our husbands, occasionally the kids. If “moist” makes you twitch, then “nah” is BB’s kryptonite — cringe in glorious stereo. Sorry, not sorry. We serve a top-notch, highly unqualified recap of “the Coachella” (two middle-aged women, YouTube, zero credibility, maximum shade). Lots of giggles, as it should be.

    We Made Them — Only We Can Say We're In Hell

    Raw, funny, and unfiltered—this episode digs into the paradox of gentle parenting, lactation ball mishaps, and why only parents can say they’re in hell.

    We Missed the Apps but Still Sipping the Tea

    In this episode we dive into elite Dungeons & Dragons die-hards, dating-app chaos, first-date trainwrecks that somehow turn to love, debate crying-while-sex moments, and settle the tank-top question. Honest, messy, and unfiltered — we unpack what swipe culture teaches (and wrecks) while arguing that even with DMs and algorithms, the charm of meeting people the old-fashioned way — face-to-face, awkwardness and all — is worth saving.
