’Tis the season for holiday deadlines and 80s TV. The ladies take a walk down memory lane as they break down the recent LIVE broadcast of Facts of Life and Diff’rent Strokes… and their casting decisions. And while there were many other topics to discuss, we fell into the ever-popular rabbit hole of “remember that one show, with that one guy… what’s his name again?” and never got to them.

The girls are getting ready for the Holidays… sort of. But before they deck all the halls, they have some topics to discuss.

We get straight to the point this episode since Mary-Margaret figures she has already wasted enough time in her life by watching Squid Games.The Chatters try to equal out the topics today from good to bad - and back again. For example: Bad… horrible news from the Rust movie set. Good… Adele sings again. Bad… Lala and Randall Van Der Breakup. Good… Travis, Kourtney, and Dwayne Wayne. Bad… Tori Spelling who? Good… Ted Lasso - Period. Need a break from real life? We got you, girl. Enjoy some...

While MM tries to keep the show respectable with groundbreaking, hard-hitting news items… let’s be honest… it’s just not possible every episode. Sometimes you just gotta discuss what the Queen’s favorite food is. Plus, we’ve got West / Ye news, Dancing with the Stars questions, and a review of the odd-yet satisfying Netflix show, My Unorthodox Life. Then, we wrap up the episode with our annual Big Brother re-cap featuring resident BB Expert, producer Moose. We discuss The Cookout, who’s...

Well, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past few months, this topic is not breaking news to you. It’s finally time to address the Oprah interview with Harry and Meghan. Or as we like to call it, “Moving the Spotlight Away from Prince Andrew”. We dive a little deeper into what WE took away from the sit down. And to be honest, we still have a lot of questions. Our monthly Zoom call with the Queen was canceled, so obviously we are just winging it. Will Harry and William work it...

There seems to be no happy news to share this episode… I mean… Royals are splitting, people are getting divorced, TV Hosts are saying stupid things, Mr. Big is not returning… it’s madness!

We try to salvage the show by providing some “must see” recommendations that are guaranteed to bring you out of any funk.

The ladies of ChickChat discuss the upcoming COVID vaccine and how they think things will look after this is all “over”. Next, in a shocking twist… the girls are blushing at the recent Disney / Pixar Investor Day announcement! Who knew an upcoming kids movie would make for such an “adult” conversation?

We’ve all been there - poorly prepared for something. Sure, MM could blame it on her kids remote learning schedule or the stress of the Holiday season upon us. But in reality, she was too busy watching Nick Jonas fight MMA on Netflix to concern herself with podcast topics.
