This week on Give Us Something to Talk About, we debate husbands and their very specific hobbies, when it’s okay to quit, and the difference between encouraging someone and pushing them too far.

Plus, we introduce a new twist on Hills to Die On: Die on it, defend it or ditch it. First hill up? Cereal is a legitimate dinner.

We have thoughts. Obviously.

Come give us something to talk about.

In this episode, the gals tackle a listener dilemma about boundaries and respect, pause to offer support and compassion to someone navigating the heartbreaking realities of a loved one living with Alzheimer's, and encourage our community to show some love to local animal shelters.

Whether you're here for the debates, the heartfelt moments, or the sense of community, we're glad you're listening.

Pull up a chair... we've got something to talk about.

This week, we're talking about the invisible work no one seems to notice.

One wife is elbow-deep in dirty dishes and chaos when her husband tells her, "You should really find something you love like I do with mountain biking." Is he being encouraging...or completely missing the point?

Then we dive into the guilt that comes with saying "no" when your sister asks you to watch her kids...again.

Plus, our latest Hill We'll Die On: We'd rather work for a great boss than make more money in a toxic workplace.

Grab your coffee (or your wine). The gals have opinions.

Sometimes the hardest decisions aren't about right versus wrong—they're about choosing between two things that both matter.
This week, we tackle two listener submissions that explore loyalty in very different ways. First, we hear from someone trying to figure out whether a friendly coworker is genuinely supportive or quietly positioning themselves to get ahead. Then we discuss a heartbreaking dilemma from a listener who knows it's time to end his relationship, but struggles with the fact that his terminally ill father has come to love his girlfriend as part of the family.
And in **The Hill I'll Die On**, we take on a topic that gets parents, educators, and just about everyone else talking: **Kids should not have social media.** We each make our case and, as always, aren't afraid to stand our ground.
Join us for thoughtful conversations, tough decisions, and a few strong opinions that may have you arguing with your speakers.

Dating after kids? Drunk friends? Unsolicited opinions? We've got you covered.

This week, we respond to two listener submissions: one from a single mom wondering how to get back into the dating scene, and another from a listener struggling with a friend whose personality seems to change every time alcohol enters the picture.

Plus, we're introducing our newest segment, The Hill I Would Die On, where we unapologetically defend our strongest (and sometimes most ridiculous) opinions. Because everyone has at least one hill worth standing on... and we're more than happy to die on ours.

Come for the advice, stay for the debates, and let us know which hill you're willing to defend.

This Father's Day, we're giving credit where credit is due.

In this episode, we share stories about our dads and father figures…the men who taught us valuable life lessons, embarrassing habits, strange sayings, and at least a few personality traits we'd rather not claim.

Some were exceptional role models. Some provided excellent examples of what not to do. But all of them helped shape the people we've become.

So grab your white New Balance sneakers, fire up the grill, and join us for a funny, thoughtful conversation about fatherhood, family, and the lasting impact of the men who raised us (or at least tried their best).

Two listener submissions, one new segment, and plenty to talk about.

This week, the gals discuss whether one listener should continue pursuing a romantic relationship that may be losing momentum, and they explore what really holds friendships together. Is it shared interests, shared values, shared life experiences? Or could practical factors like income and lifestyle matter more than we realize?

The pod also debuts a new recurring segment featuring fun, low-stakes debates. Our first topic: the etiquette (or lack thereof) of replying all to an email.

As always, we're not experts, we just have opinions and microphones.

With their incredibly mediocre level of expertise, the gals chat it up about the Enneagram, a personality typing model. The Enneagram, according to Jacqi and Tiffany, is eerily accurate and helps them enrich their relationship with each other and those in their close circle.

They go into each type, what types they are themselves, and what combos make the best power couples 🙂
