Show notes
Kristin and Jen are going down a true crime rabbit hole! From new developments in the Ted Bundy case to a wild death row story, the ladies have plenty of questions and even more opinions. Plus, Kristin shares her unforgettable experience working inside a maximum-security prison, Jen calls her out for accidentally matching shoes with a younger man, and they revisit their childhood TV crushes. It's murder, mom life, and a whole lot of questionable footwear.

Female comedy duo Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley have been performing, teaching, and writing comedy internationally for a combined 40+ years. They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin’s keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can. -

I DAD BRAINED SO HARD
Show notes
What would a dad do? Kristin and Jen are trying to survive the fall chaos by caring just a little bit less and honestly, it might be working. From the divorce rug and TikTok algorithms to mom overwhelm, perimenopause, dark documentaries, Backrooms, Mad Men, midday martinis, and the undeniable gifts of Jon Hamm, we're embracing a new mantra: it doesn't matter THAT much.

We are officially in our back-to-school organizing era... or at least we're trying.

https://link.chtbl.com/imomsohardABOUT US
Female comedy duo Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley have been performing, teaching, and writing comedy internationally for a combined 40+ years. They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin’s keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can. -

We watched the true crime documentary Maternal Instinct and we are not okay. Join us as we jump into the worse case of all time but before that we share the story of a haunted hawk sent from the heavens to get us to focus. Trigger warning: this case is very graphic so look it up before you listen.
