Chickens Are The New Kittens

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.

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.

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.

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.

HAPPY EASTER!!!We’re still months away from our family vacation, but that didn’t stop us from discussing it like we leave tomorrow. This episode kicks off with us discussing our plans, but quickly turns into stories from past trips, random tangents, and absolute chaos. Chelsey is joining our family/anniversary vacation, which somehow raises both the excitement and the risk level. We’ve got a rummy game going, ice cream in hand, and just enough focus to pretend we’re being productive. At one point Evelyn pops in for a quick cameo, because timing is never on our side. Somewhere between the distractions, we actually do lock in a few real details. Mostly though, this is just us riding the high of something fun to look forward to... and trying to get through a conversation and a game of rummy without getting too far off track.

In this episode, we put random things on the chopping block and make each other choose which one has to go, no logic, just vibes. From everyday habits to oddly specific preferences, nothing is safe and some of these choices get way more heated than they should. We agree more than we expected, which is suspicious, but the disagreements come in hot and loud. Somewhere between debating and defending our life choices, you’ll learn a little too much about how we shop, sleep, and function as humans. There’s rummy happening in the background, questionable strategy, and a steady stream of teasing. At one point, there are even some innuendos, but we’re probably just talking about chicken and not something completely ridiculous or inappropriate. It’s chaotic, it’s unnecessary, and honestly, we stand by every bad decision or stupid comment.

Chelsey didn’t just suggest the gym, she pulled Beth into a light CrossFit-style workout… no machines, no plan, and absolutely no business doing it after their very unofficial “breaks” from fitness. What unfolds is equal parts determination, regret, and “why do our legs hate us?” as they attempt to remember how bodies are supposed to move.Somewhere between the sweat, the laughter, and the mild identity crisis, they survive and naturally decide they’ve earned food. What should have been a simple post-workout meal turns into a strange, slightly chaotic adventure filled with questionable stops, random decisions, and a few “this feels like a mistake” moments… until it somehow ends in something actually delicious.As always, the conversation refuses to stay on track. They spiral into tangents, forget what they were saying mid-sentence, and snack on Sour Patch Kids like elite athletes in recovery. Add in a casual game of rummy happening in real time, and you’ve got pure, unfiltered chaos.Oh—and don’t worry, there may be a surprise singing performance, because apparently that’s part of their fitness journey now.

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth and Chelsey discuss the movies they loved, were inspired by, or were completely obsessed with growing up. From cult classics to childhood favorites, they revisit the films that shaped their younger years and ask the big question: do they still hold up now that we’re adults?Naturally, the conversation doesn’t stay perfectly on track. Expect random tangents, bursts of giggling over ridiculous memories, and the occasional inside joke that probably makes no sense, and that’s part of the charm.So… did any of these movies shape your childhood too? What were the films you watched on repeat?Fair warning: this episode might hit you right in the nostalgic feels.

This week we are discussing red flags; the mildly irritating to absolutely run-for-your-life levels of concern. We agree on some, strongly disagree on others, and definitely call each other out in the process. Somewhere between gaslighting and bad texting habits, we realize a few of the red flags might actually belong to us. (Growth is uncomfortable. So is losing.) As always, we’re playing rummy because emotional analysis is better with a little competitive tension. Luckily we just finished eating! Things get heated over jealousy, accountability, and who is absolutely going to win this hand. Spoiler: neither of us is backing down. Grab your deck and your standards — we’re shuffling through it all.

In this five-star fever dream of an episode, Beth reads a variety of book, show, and movie reviews while Chelsey tries to guess how many stars they were given. Spoiler: confidence does not equal accuracy. What follows? Bold assumptions, questionable logic, theatrical readings, and the exact level of chaos you’ve come to expect from Chickens Are the New Kittens.There are laughs. There is confusion. There is at least one moment of “wait… WHAT?”Five stars. Highly recommend. Would absolutely spiral again.

In this wildly investigative episode, we set out to answer the hard-hitting question no one asked but everyone needs answered: wtf is actually in Kaukauna? Spoiler alert — not much. What was meant to be a thrilling deep dive into local charm quickly turns into us realizing the biggest attractions were the weather, a mildly exciting roadside sighting, and the aggressive quaintness of it all. We giggle our way through the stunning revelation that sometimes a town’s main feature is simply… existing. There’s commentary on the scenic drive, dramatic pauses over absolutely nothing happening, and a heartfelt appreciation for just how uneventful an event can be. It’s small. It’s quiet. It’s aggressively adorable. And somehow, against all odds, it’s one of our favorite episodes — because when there’s nothing going on, we will absolutely make something out of it.

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth and Chelsey play a game of rummy while taking turns guessing TV shows based on deliberately vague, barely helpful descriptions. No spoilers, no clarity, just fuzzy plot hints and wild confidence. As the cards stack up, so do the questionable guesses and competitive clucking. Some answers land clean, others skid across the litter box. It’s part game night, part pop-culture guessing game, and fully feathered chaos. Play along and see if your brain scratches the right post.

Chelsey was born in the ’90s; Beth was raised by them. In this episode, Chelsey quizzes Beth on ’90s trivia to see how much she actually remembers versus what’s been replaced by chicken care schedules and cat opinions. Lisa Frank? AOL instant messaging? Boy bands that still hit emotionally? All on the table. The results are funny, chaotic, and mildly concerning. If you survived the ’90s and now live with animals who judge you, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we brave the beauty school haircut experience—low cost, medium anxiety, high character growth. Beth’s student clearly knew what she was doing, while Chelsey’s was… learning in real time, with confidence. We unpack expectations, outcomes, and why “it’s actually fine” is sometimes the highest compliment. Then, because this podcast has zero respect for outlines, we pivot aggressively into a completely unplanned discussion about body hair. Legs, pits, choices, judgments, and absolutely no conclusions. It’s chaotic, affordable, and exactly the episode it was always going to be.

This episode has no agenda. No structure. No mercy.Chelsey and Beth had a little too much wine, and go wildly off-topic, and laughing like it’s a competitive sport. Conversations start mid-thought, derail immediately, and never come back. If you’re looking for logic, buckle up… you won’t find it here.What will you get?Unfiltered friendship. Questionable life commentary. Inside jokes you were never meant to understand. And the unmistakable sound of two grown women losing all executive function in real time.Listener advisory: this episode makes sense only if you’ve ever laughed so hard you forgot what you were talking about.Enter at your own risk. 🍷🐔😹

This week on Chickens Are the New Kittens, we’re talking mental health, specifically anxiety and depression, and how we manage them in our lives. We get real about the spirals, the meds, the breakthroughs, and the coping tools that actually work… and yes, we laugh at ourselves along the way, because sometimes humor is the only thing standing between you and a full-blown meltdown.This isn’t a “toxic positivity” pep talk. It’s an honest, sometimes messy conversation about taking care of ourselves so anxiety and depression don’t get the final say. Expect practical insights, personal stories, and a few wildly off-topic tangents because brains like ours don’t stay on one track for long. Do the tangents make sense? Only sometimes…If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me?”—it’s not. Pull up a chair. We’ve got you.

And we’re back! Season two of Chickens Are the New Kittens starts exactly how you’d expect: baking cookies, inhaling Potbelly subs, and laughing way too hard at ourselves.We have zero New Year’s resolutions, zero shame about it, and plenty of opinions fueled by sugar and sandwiches. It’s cozy, chaotic, and very on-brand, because sometimes the best way to start a new season (or year) is with good food, good company, and absolutely no plan.

In this season finale episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, we play a hilarious round of “Who’s Most Likely To…” from who’s destined to become a millionaire to who’s most likely to get arrested. Between the laughter and accusations, we take a real look at our 2025 goals as well; the wins we’re proud of, the fails we’re learning from, and the surprise successes and failures that we didn’t expect. Of course, no episode would be complete without a few tangents involving our feathered and furry co-stars. There are giggles, confessions, and a healthy dose of self-awareness as we wander between ambition and absurdity. Think of it as therapy, but cheaper!See you next year, you crazy cluckers!

Game day? Party dish? From cheeses and dips to the sacred art of charcuterie, we peck through our favorite bites and the weird must-haves that always make the table. Of course, it wouldn’t be us if things didn’t take a left turn — one minute it’s candy, the next it’s someone’s hairy legs. Join these snacks talking about snacks… with a side of unfiltered friendship. grab a bag of chips, pull up a perch, and let’s get weird.*only 1 episode left after this one for the season! Then we’ll see you in 2026!*

Beth and Chelsey take on what should be an easy challenge: reading song lyrics out loud while the other tries to guess the song. Spoiler alert: it’s way harder than it sounds (and way funnier, too). Between the dramatic readings, accidental spoilers, and questionable music knowledge, chaos unfolds, especially once the hard cider kicks in. Add five tiny foster kittens climbing over everything in sight, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for adorable distraction, laughter, and a few very unfiltered moments. It’s sweet, it’s messy, it’s absolutely ridiculous… and somehow still heartwarming.Explicit Content Warning: Language, topics, lyrics, etc may not be suitable for children.

Fall is here, and Chelsey and Beth are diving into all the cozy things: pumpkin patches, apple picking, cider sipping, and s’mores by the fire. 🍂 But in true us fashion, we somehow spiral from fall fun into a deep conversation about trust issues with men before circling right back to our happy place: hoodies, hikes, and Halloween movies. Cozy chaos at its finest. Show spoilers and some explicit language. Listener discretion advised.

In this episode, we deal out a few rounds of rummy while dishing on our most cringeworthy kitchen disasters. From alcoholic meatballs to fried chicken that belonged in a bonfire, we serve up mouthfuls of regret and plenty of laughs. We revisit those meals that made us question our skills, our recipes, and sometimes our life choices. When the stories run dry, we keep playing—because finishing a game of rummy with us always leads to random tangents and unfiltered banter. And, of course, there’s the competitive twist: one of us is fiercely determined to win, while the other… may or may not be a tiny bit of a sore loser. Cards, chaos, and kitchen fails—it’s all on the table.

This week’s episode takes a more serious turn as Chelsey opens up about something she’s never shared on the podcast before: her two-year journey with infertility. From the rollercoaster of traditional methods to the emotional ups and downs of IUI, and now facing big decisions around IVF or adoption, she talks honestly about what it’s been like to live in the in-between. And while Chelsey’s been navigating it all with her body, Beth has been right beside her through every step; crying with her after each negative test, celebrating even the smallest sparks of hope, and sometimes just sitting in the hard silence together. It’s a conversation full of honesty, heartache, and the kind of friendship that makes heavy things feel just a little lighter. There are still some laughs and crafting, because that’s just who they are, but this episode will definitely tug on your heartstrings in a big way. If you’d like to support Chelsey on her fertility journey Beth has set up a go fund me page to assist with the financial burden that her journey to motherhood includes: https://gofund.me/d1d84a7ce

Fall is in the air, and Beth and Chelsey are sipping their way through the season! 🍂 From cozy pear cider and cranberry fizz to a rich sipping chocolate, they share their favorite fall drinks that bring comfort, warmth, and a little sparkle to chilly days. Join them for laughter, stories, and maybe even a few recipe swaps you’ll want to try at home. Grab your favorite mug and tune in—it’s the perfect episode to welcome autumn.

Fall is creeping in, and with it comes the unofficial holiday we wait for all year: soup season. In this episode, Beth and Chelsey ladle out their go-to soups, confess which ones they adore but never dare to make, and share which soups that live on repeat once the weather turns crisp. From cozy classics to bowls that feel like a warm hug, we’re stirring up all the flavors of fall. Grab a spoon—this episode is served hot!

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, with our common echo because Beth was too lazy to charge the mics… Chelsey and Beth get real (and a little ridiculous) in The Art of Avoidance, and the Messy Work of Healing From Trauma. From childhood scars to teenage drama to adulthood meltdowns, the two dive into the creative—and sometimes questionable—ways they’ve learned to cope. Beth leans into cathartic writing, while Chelsey swears by retail therapy (and maybe… finally needs the real kind of therapy she’s been dodging). Together, they unravel how trauma can send their brains into spirals, and why avoidance feels good in the moment but never really works long-term. Naturally, there are tangents—one of them being an unexpectedly long, heartfelt conversation about kittens. It’s an episode equal parts honest and humorous, proving that healing doesn’t have to be tidy, but it can be relatable (and even a little entertaining).

In this episode, we face plant into the world of ridiculous purchases while stuffing our faces with a delicious Costco pizza, because clearly cooking was never an option. Honestly it’s surprising we didn’t order $90 in DoorDash to avoid turning on the oven. We swap stories about our best and worst “slothful splurges,” from the things we bought out of sheer laziness to the ones that seemed smart until it sat untouched in its original packaging until the podcast or a flood forced us to acknowledge it! While the truth is some of our purchases aren’t bad if we’d actually use them, Chelsey keeps proving—over and over—that she has a much bigger spending problem than she thought. There are groans, plenty of giggles, and even an uninvited guest in the form of a weird microphone echo. By the end, Beth offers a few tips to help Chelsey rein it in, but let’s be real—this is more of a love story between Chelsey and her Amazon cart. That carts gets more action than The Life Of A Showgirl!

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth is flying solo, so it might be boring… unless you’re into video games (then it’s probably not). She shares her favorite games, from consoles to phone apps—because yes, mobile games count! Beth talks about how gaming has become a surprising way her family connects, from epic on-screen adventures to competitive board game nights. You’ll hear about the laughs, the rivalries, and the moments that make game night a family favorite. Plus, she’s on the hunt for new games to play and to hear about others epic adventures, so make sure to comment with your favorites!

Not just a T-Swift song. A whole vibe. After a week hiatus due to a family tragedy in Chelsey’s family, in this episode Beth and Chelsey allow themselves full permission to soak in their feelings and unapologetically air out all the things they are currently hating. Everything from minor inconveniences to full-blown existential irritations. No silver linings, no growth mindset, just vibes (salty ones). Along the way, they go off on a few classic tangents, talk to Beth’s kids mid-rant like the multitasking pros they are, and even witness the rarest of podcast moments: a unicorn “sighting” in the form of Beth’s husband being audibly present in the background. Did he mean to make a cameo? Absolutely not. Are we going to mention it like it’s breaking news? You bet! It’s a chaotic mix of complaining, catharsis, and just enough weirdness to keep things spicy. Consider this your official invitation to join us in the Tortured Complaints Department — no solutions required.

In this episode, Beth dives headfirst into the emotional deep end after her therapist suggests she explore what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Spoiler: it’s not just about crying during sad movies—though Beth does cry at movie trailers, opening credits, commercials, and sometimes even random songs. She talks about what it’s like to walk into a room and instantly pick up on the vibe, how overstimulation sneaks in when you least expect it, and how being deeply moved by the world isn’t a flaw—it might just be wiring. Along the way, she ropes Chelsey into the investigation, asking her some classic HSP questions… and guess what? Chelsey might be one too. With 15–20% of the population identifying as HSPs, Beth unpacks why this isn’t about being “too much”—it’s about feeling things more deeply and fully. Tune in as the two best friends laugh, talk about getting emotional, and explore what it means to finally have language for experiences that have always felt just a little extra.

This week on Chickens Are The New Kittens, we’re building dating profiles for the real stars of our lives; our 6 chaotic chickens (including the loudmouths, the bullies, and the sweet baby nuggets), our 4 cats (ranging from emotionally unavailable to aggressively affectionate), and our stinky-but-stunning dog. We don’t stop there; Beth gets a profile too, complete with her 70-something-year-old soul trapped in a sweaty, overbooked body, while Chelsey demands full disclosure on sperm counts and emotional availability from any potential matches. Frank the cat leans heavily on mysterious jaguar energy and his love of unsolicited mouth contact, while Goku’s bio warns that cuddling may lead to blood loss. Raven overshares about food kinks, and Beans is emotionally distant but still wants to hold hands at 3 a.m. We laugh our way through each profile, increasingly impressed (and slightly concerned) at how accurately ChatGPT nails our weird little menagerie. There’s dating red flags, green flags, and whatever color flag means “eats vegetables and growls at the doorbell.” It’s unhinged, it’s adorable, it’s disturbingly relatable, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

After a sun-soaked Fourth of July left us dehydrated, delirious, yawning, and slightly feral, we dive headfirst into the most ridiculous round of “Would You Rather” yet. Would you rather sweat maple syrup or have spaghetti for hair? Be trailed by a full marching band or give an unsolicited speech at a stranger’s wedding? Have fries for fingers? Maybe live with a mime for a year? Wear matching best friend outfits… forever? Yeah. It’s that kind of episode.Somewhere between Beth’s goose-honk laugh and Chelsey’s giggle-fart (yes, it happened), we hit a new low—or maybe a new high? Depends how you define podcast excellence.This episode is sticky, strange, and absolutely unfiltered. Buckle up.

Chelsey loves Disney fairy tales, who doesn’t! Singing mermaids, swoony princes, and sparkly happy endings. Beth is here to ruin all of that. This episode, Chelsey gushes about her favorite stories while Beth drops the dark, twisted, occasionally horrifying origins behind them. Think Sleeping Beauty’s non-consensual nap and awakening, Ariel dissolving into sea foam (or does she?), and a stepmom pining for more than one of Snow White’s organs. Oh, and Beauty falls for a legit monster. It’s the podcast episode where childhood dreams go to die—hilariously. And you know what? Surprisingly we were NOT eating while recording.Some explicit content, listener discretion advised.

What if your dream job landed in your lap—would you actually take it? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the ultimate “What If” spiral, asking the big questions like: What if we met 10 years ago… or never met at all? We explore how our lives could’ve twisted and turned through choices we made—and the ones made for us. From sliding doors moments to parallel universe versions of ourselves, it gets deep, hilarious, and a little unhinged. We even wonder what life would be like if animals could talk (spoiler: chaos) and which video game world we’d be stuck in (hello, Animal Crossing island life!). It’s reflective, ridiculous, and real—just how we like it. Come imagine the alternate timelines with us.

In this episode, Chelsey and Beth put on their lab coats and play Dr. Frankenstein, building the perfect man from the ground up! Faces, voices, ideal traits and a lot of laughter. From emotional intelligence and deep conversations to ultimate green flags and annoying but hot habits, we piece together the ultimate partner. While we agree on many must-haves, a few qualities (like love languages or morning energy levels) reveal some hilarious differences.Together, we explore what really matters in a relationship, and it turns out emotional safety, kindness, and showing up win out over abs and ambition. Well… almost. Because let’s be honest, we’d still graft on Henry Cavill’s face if given the chance.Disclaimer: This episode features the song “Build a Bitch” by Bella Poarch ‧ 2021. We do not own the rights to this song.

In this special birthday episode, we celebrate Chelsey turning 35 with a rapid-fire round of questions about her favorite foods (spoiler: dessert is the main course), ideal days off, and a few juicy secrets. Over Mexican food and laughter, we cover everything from upcoming goals to dream days off—and yes, she does dodge a couple questions with her signature sass. It’s a light, upbeat ride full of giggles, unexpected answers, and lots of love. Tyler even jumps in for a quick moment during one of Chelsey’s more honest reflections. While she keeps a few details to herself (classic Chelsey!), she surprises us all by revealing one big personal goal she’s chasing this year. If you’re looking for warmth, wit, and a whole lot of birthday energy, this is the episode for you. Grab your favorite dessert and join us for the celebration!

In this upside-down episode of the Chicken Are The New Kittens, we dive headfirst into Stranger Things Monopoly — and things get weird and aggressive. Chelsey channels her inner Eleven and absolutely dominates the board, while Beth watches her properties vanish faster than Barb at a pool party. Chickens cluck, kittens meow, Beth and Chelsey snack (as usual), and Shamus spirals into sore-loser territory worthy of a Vecna-level tantrum. We bribe each other with Eggos (or Monopoly money and properties, whatever you want to call it), question the ethics of owning Hawkins real estate, and Shamus crap talks like he’s debating flipping the board when someone lands on the wrong square (again). With every roll of the dice, our relationships teeter on the edge like Hopper on a rickety Russian elevator. It’s part game night, part Hawkins drama, and entirely chaotic. Spoiler alert: Chelsey might be the new ruler of the Upside Down… and your local electric company.

This week, we play a round (okay, many rounds) of FMK and it gets silly in the best way. From swoon-worthy celebs and comfort food classics to cursed internet trends and questionable life choices, nothing is safe. We laugh a lot, get mildly disturbed, and even shock ourselves with some of our picks. Sometimes we’re totally in sync, and other times we’re side-eyeing each other like, you seriously chose THAT? There’s nostalgia, chaos, and way too much conversation about gas station sushi. It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’ll have you playing along trying to decide between dogs, cats, chickens, and more!

Happy 25th episode folks!!!In this awkward episode we’re battling a weird echo in our mics, but much like our dignity, we refuse to let it go quietly. Armed with our best “sexy” voices (which mostly just sound tired and mildly unwell), we take turns whispering famous taglines from toys and snacks while the other tries to guess the product. It’s inappropriate in the weirdest possible ways; think seductive Hot Wheels and sultry Goldfish crackers. Somehow, it’s both cringey and hilarious, and absolutely no one asked for it. Despite the chaos, we push through the feedback and the secondhand embarrassment to deliver an episode that’s equal parts unhinged and oddly nostalgic. Come for the mystery slogans, stay for the accidental ASMR and emotional unraveling.

In this episode, we let Buzzfeed tackle life’s most pressing questions—like what your dessert choices say about your pet count, and which personality trait is secretly running the show. We dove headfirst into a pile of delightfully unscientific quizzes, from spotting our red flags to rating our emotional availability, and the results were as hilarious as they were a little too real. Between the laughs, we stumbled into some unexpectedly deep insights (thanks, internet) and maybe learned a thing or two about ourselves along the way. If you’ve ever questioned your life choices based on your cookie preferences, you’re in good company. Come for the chaos, stay for the soul-searching disguised as clickbait.

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, we dive into the messy world of internet morality with “Fowl Behavior - AITA”. We take turns reading four Am I the A**hole? stories and put on our judgment hats to figure out who’s being reasonable and who’s just being a petty jerk. Some situations are hilariously amazing, others hit a little deeper, and a couple might just leave you shouting at your headphones in irritation. We talk it through, laugh a lot, and occasionally surprise ourselves with how strongly we feel about strangers on Reddit. It’s part therapy, part courtroom, and fully unqualified. Expect strong opinions, side commentary, and a little soul-searching along the way. Because let’s be honest, sometimes being right feels just a little too good.

In this episode, we put our friendship to the ultimate test with a game of “Friend Jeopardy”! With categories that cover our interests, goals, and more, we quiz each other on the little (and not-so-little) details that make us who we are. Do we really pay attention when the other person talks about their dreams? Can we remember the quirky facts from years of inside jokes and life updates? Does one of us not understand how jeopardy works at all? It’s a hilarious, slightly chaotic, and surprisingly sentimental showdown. We laugh, we guess wildly, and maybe even learn a few new things about each other along the way. This isn’t just trivia—it’s a friendship deep dive and a competition for who’s paying for Bloody Mary’s!Who knows… maybe there’s even a little surprise at the end!

In this episode, we’re diving beak-first into backyard bounty! We’re sharing our favorite tips, tricks, and home hacks for making the most of your garden goodies and farm-fresh eggs. From clever ways to preserve leftover herbs, fruits, and veggies, to how we repurpose garden scraps as treats for Beth’s feathered friends, it’s all about reducing waste and enjoying the fruits of our labor. We’ll also crack into creative uses for all those glorious eggs those hens are laying—think beyond breakfast! Along the way, we’ll cover our personal favorites from the garden, what our chickens go crazy for, and the egg dishes we love. Whether you’re a seasoned homesteader or a curious backyard dabbler, we’ve got you covered. Grab your basket, pull up a perch, and let’s get cluckin’!

Get ready to laugh until you cry as we chew on jelly beans and explore the wildly inappropriate world of Horrible Therapist. In this episode, we play the game for the first time—and let’s just say, the card combos were absolutely unhinged. Between awkward innuendos, disturbingly perfect matches, and moments that had us doubled over in laughter, we barely made it through with our sanity intact, and underwear tinkle free.This game is officially C.A.T.N.K. podcast-approved, because if you’ve ever wondered what therapy would look like if your therapist had zero filter and a wicked sense of humor… this is it.Warning: contains laughter, chaos, explicit content, and jokes your real therapist would not approve of.

In this episode, we scroll back through years of old text messages and DMs and try to guess which one of us said what—and wow, what a journey. From heartfelt check-ins to completely unfiltered rants about zits, poop, and farts, it’s a ridiculous and unexpectedly sweet trip down memory lane. We laughed (a lot), cringed (more than we’d like to admit), and were reminded of just how much life we’ve navigated together—one weird text at a time.It’s a celebration of friendship, the kind where you can overshare, underthink, and still be totally loved. Whether we were venting, hyping each other up, or just sharing what came out of our bodies that day, those texts tell the story of real connection.This one’s for the ride-or-dies who reply to your chaos with “same” and actually mean it.Warning: some explicit content mentioned

In this episode, we take a hilarious deep dive into the black hole that is our video feeds. One minute, we're watching a simple workout tutorial, and the next, we’re knee-deep in dancing maids, lesbians with carabiners, and homesteaders raising chickens or fighting off emus. How does this happen?! We break down the magic (or madness) of the algorithm, laugh at the absolute randomness of our pages, and question if our phones know us a little too well. From conspiracy theories to niche hobbies we never knew we needed, no rabbit hole is too deep. Grab your phone (or maybe don’t) and join us for a chaotic, addictive episode about the dreaded DOOMSCROLLING!

In this episode of Chickens are the New Kittens, the lifelong debates of the best chicken nugget and side dish are discussed while Beth and Chelsey embark on their first hike of the season. As they huff and puff through the trails, they challenge the flavors, textures, and more of one of Americas fast food favorites. It doesn’t stop at nuggies!

Warning: This episode contains explicit adult content and vulgar language. Listener discretion is advised. Also, we do not condone the use of alcohol to solve your problems, try therapy bro.In this chaotic and completely pointless episode, two women, one heartbroken and one simply there for moral support, try to make sense of their lives while drinking a variety of spirits. As they veer wildly off-topic, they somehow manage to avoid discussing the heartbreak at the core of the conversation, opting instead to ramble about everything else under the sun. With moments of pure absurdity, they dive into strange tangents, questionable decisions, and random stories that are as hilarious as they are confusing. It’s a mess, but it’s the kind of mess you’ll want to listen to. Join us for some laugh-out-loud moments, awkward pauses, and completely unfiltered nonsense. Just don’t expect any resolution… because there isn’t one.
