Saddle Up and Shut Up | Ep. 11

Leora rides a horse. Eliana gets kicked out of summer camp (again, spiritually). And together they try, once again, to survive midlife with some grace, a lot of delusion, and several Broadway reviews. This episode dives into first-time horseback riding anxiety, camp trauma flashbacks (including a lynched teddy bear), and the questionable sanity of sending kids away for the summer. Eliana returns from a NYC reunion where she discovered everyone is still a hot mess, and honestly, it’s comforting. Meanwhile, Leora is just trying to model “discipline, commitment, responsibility” while quietly peeing her pants on a horse named Astrick. We’ve got childhood bullying, inappropriate camp crushes, Olympic delusions, and at least three new ways to ruin your summer. If you’ve ever been sent to “kindness camp” or pretended you had no cell reception to avoid parenting, you are in the right place. It’s chaotic, it’s cathartic, and it might make you cancel your kids’ camp plans by the end.Follow us on ⁠instagram⁠ for more exclusive content
