Heather and Maureen welcome back fan favorite guest Michael Ratty! Topics of discussion include: What the hell is going on on The Outsider? The New Pope is a visual delight. Annette Bening was robbed of an Oscar. Plus Ratty’s predictions for Oscar winners!

Fasting, and fishing line, and vulvas, oh my! Maureen and Heather get down to the Goop of it all in their first health and wellness episode of 2020. Doppelgängers & John Malkovich also make an appearance because HBO originals are self care.

The ladies ring in 2020 talking New Year's Resolutions, M. Night Shyamalan, the borderline psycho stalker behavior of Tippy Hedren in the opening of The Birds, Mr. Music and much more entertaining nonsense.

The spirit of Christmas is upon us and the goose is getting fat!  Maureen and Heather talk all things holiday, shopping for presents, traditions that are better in theory, homemade liquor, internet sleuthing and MORE.

The girls discuss all of the Grace In Boston on her Peloton bike nonsense, gifts Maureen and Heather wouldn't like to get and then a left-hand turn down the Suzanne Somers rabbit hole including squatting nude in the bramble, the Poncho 3-Way, vaginal rejuvenation and more!  

It's Caught Up - after dark - the sexy episode. Things are heating up! Heather and Maureen dim the lights, pour themselves a glass of wine, and do a deep dive into People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue. 

Maureen and Heather talk turkey on this week's episode!  The topic is Thanksgiving and all it's delicious goodness - from mash potatoes with gravy, wearing caftans and elastic waist pants.  Also mentioned - Hallmark Channel, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Heather's regret she never pursued her dream of being a Rockette. 

Maureen and Heather get into the spirit of Halloween and discuss scary movies, Misery's Annie Wilkes' fashion sense, Mounds vs. Almond Joy's, and costumes from your closet. Also not so spooky tales of Friday fish dinners with seniors, Paul Rudd, and why comedian Will Noonan is being stingy with his homemade bread. 

Nothing says Christmas like a sappy, overly-sentimental made-for-TV movie on the Hallmark Channel. Maureen and Heather do a deep dive on all that is the Christmas season on the Hallmark Channel with a sprinkling of Lifetime too. A busy career woman forced to move home to help with her family’s struggling Christmas tree farm? The girls are tuning in.

This episode, Maureen and Heather take listeners through every online dating blunder they can think of. Later, Maureen breaks down Bad Ronald while Heather sends out a personal message to Clark Kent. 

It’s an Early Halloween treat as Maureen finds hubby Peter’s stash of candies and discovers “faux baked beans.” Meanwhile, Heather visits a new brew pub in the Seaport District to find her inner “Nantucket.” Plus tales of encroaching nature in Southie and a big reveal involving a well-known local politician.

First, an update on the Southie supermarket situation, including a sausage scenario. Then, Maureen and Heather go 411 on new neighbor, Will Noonan. But their main topic on this episode revolves around friends and the reasons to stop being a BFF! Plus, juvenile delinquency, meatball contests and pepperoni capers.

Southie citizens Maureen and Heather welcome back Maureen’s husband and firefighter Peter Gailunas and former MA DOT and Boston Transportation Department Administrator (and Brain Aneurysm Foundation booster) Tommy Tinlin to discuss corporate responsibility and neighborhood services. From pot-holed and dirty parking lots to spoiled vegetables and a lack of community involvement, the gang of four enumerates the problems with local establishments run by absentee corporate owners.

Recently, the trailer of the new movie based on the musical CATS electrified the internet. Or is that exasperated, exculpated and exonerated? Definitely not those last two… Maureen and Heather explain why.

Today, if you’re seeking companionship, you can find a million people online. But in the 1950’s you only had two choices: bump into a nice guy or gal at an “I hate Sputnik” party or read an advice column in a magazine. On today’s episode, Heather and Maureen point a contemporary lens on some old tropes. Plus, finding a tailor in Southie and the diet dilemmas of a princess.

Your two inimitable hosts recently took in a performance by actor and musician Jeff Goldblum at Boston’s Wilbur Theatre. Very enjoyable show even if some “locals” in the audience didn’t know where Brookline is… plus lots of people-watching at the New Kids on the Block / Debbie Gibson concert and an awkward restaurant incident.

Cancel the APB. Maureen and Heather are aliiiiiive …and preparing for Hunk season. Guys, get ready to be judged! Plus Maureen turns 50, gets a hat and sees a toy story.

Rear Admiral of Barstool Sports and the Spittin’ Chiclets Podcast joins Madame Heather and Maureen for another costume-drama and dragon-filled episode of our show. Meanwhile, as the big bad Bruins inch closer to Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley, the gang gets “caught up” in the excitement.

Maureen and Heather take another “stab” (Episode19 “The Boston Boy Fiend”) at dissecting the story of a local historical true crime. Boston-born Honora Kelley, aka Jane Toppan, may have killed more than thirty people in one of the earliest known cases of “Angel of Death” compulsion.
