Mounting Dogs and Menopausal Bras

Mounting Dogs and Menopausal Bras
<div>Heather and Cynthia are back after Thanksgiving and fully committed to the chaos that is early December—menopausal bras, mounting dogs, viral Walmart sweaters, and all that kinda stuff. Heather recaps her Floribama trip and attending church in a bar. Cynthia counters with peak Christmas in Dallas energy with a decked–out Advent service where the trees were glowing, Silent Night was soaring, and JB chose to bring in …a Rubik’s Cube. During church. Naturally.<br> <br> They talk about college kids coming home (and changing the whole vibe of the house in about 12 hours), using ChatGPT as a free holiday therapist, and a viral post from a 76-year-old grandma that has them rethinking how much we center everything around the nuclear family at the holidays. There are front-yard cigar sessions, awkward ex-boyfriend run-ins, grandmas eating puzzle pieces, and a deep dive into whether anyone actually needs Matthew McConaughey’s book of poems and prayers under the tree.<br> <br> It’s another good week to be Sidetracked! <br> <br> Become a Supertracker: <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">sign up here</a> <br> <br> Connect with Us: </div> <ul> <li>Website:  <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">Sidetracked</a> </li> <li>Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesidetrackedshow/">CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow)</a> </li> <li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SIDETRACKED-SHOW">sidetracked with cynthia &amp; heather</a> </li> <li><a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/ama">Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dontmomalone/?hl=en">Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cynthiayanof/?hl=en">Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof)</a></li> </ul> <div>Links Mentioned:  <br> <br> </div> <ul> <li>Order your <a href="https://sidetracked.promostore.com/">Must Be Nice hat</a> here before they are sold out!</li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/living-on-diet-coke-and-a-prayer/id1765742489?i=1000677085818">Sherry’s episode on Gift Wrapping–Living on Diet Coke and a Prayer</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/marc-jacobs-runway-padded-peplum-short-sleeve-sweater-prod196640497?utm_source=google_shopping&amp;site_refer=CSE_GGLPLA:Womens_Apparel:Marc+Jacobs+Runway:&amp;country=US&amp;currency=USD&amp;CSE_CID=BGO_G_PLA_Women%27s+Apparel+Designer_Baseline:BGO_G_PLA_Women%27s+Apparel+Designer_Baseline_Women%27s+Apparel+Designer&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23019523914&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAlrXJBhBAEiwA-5pgwjYaYEcdgsIBP9_EfmDJIdgk4_gPRjeqoDHNV83e4enVlpnZrfNWKxoCOUkQAvD_BwE">Bergdorf Goodman puffy outfit </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/LS-TALL-CUFF-SWEATER/16799773491?wmlspartner=wlpa&amp;selectedSellerId=0&amp;wmlspartner=wlpa&amp;cn=FY25-ENTP-PMAX_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_entp_e_n&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;adid=2222222229716799773491_0000000000_21407473164&amp;wl0=&amp;wl1=x&amp;wl2=c&amp;wl3=&amp;wl4=&amp;wl5=9026954&amp;wl6=&amp;wl7=&amp;wl8=&amp;wl9=pla&amp;wl10=8175035&amp;wl11=online&amp;wl12=16799773491&amp;veh=sem&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21690411341&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIqMOuqidSrg8vS-aELz-UlY6&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAlrXJBhBAEiwA-5pgwum4d3ch1-Dm6ShlFbgkklXpqpdAwHDBWdKHrUfzhR9p8hC0DTlc0xoCwxMQAvD_BwE">Cynthia’s sweater </a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/4p5xOuZ">Whoop bands</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.awaytravel.com/products/bigger-carry-on-navy-blue">Away Carry-on Bag</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/2782_1333_173">Aerie real soft pjs</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3KD3eK9">“Poems and Prayers” by Matthew McConaughey</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3M4KaoH">“Greenlights” by Matthew McConaughey</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/4iRfZh7">Pink Car Vacuum</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/4pMZFAc">Yeti Espresso Cups</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/48MK11N">Gel Nail Kit</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/441Te3N">Pokemon Card Binder</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/48vzcQo">Remote Control Bugatti</a></li> </ul> <div>Featured Sponsors:</div> <ul><li> <strong>PrepDish</strong>–It’s basically meal planning and grocery shopping done for me.

Prairie Drama, Porch Pirates, and Tangled-Up Teens
NOV 21, 2025
Prairie Drama, Porch Pirates, and Tangled-Up Teens
<div>Another week, another Sidetracked stacked with unfiltered life chaos. Cynthia breaks down her girls’ trip—which included a hotel <em>Little House on the Prairie</em> binge and a heated debate over why Almanzo is clearly a 40-year-old courting a child—followed by her now-infamous “did you poop your pants?” bench incident, and the fence-straddle injury that officially shut down her reproductive department. <br> <br> Heather brings the world’s worst “wife” hat—so atrocious even a porch pirate said “absolutely not”—plus a teenage car moment that left everyone <em>literally</em> wired. And they both ask ChatGPT “What three celebrities am I a mix of?” with results ranging from Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines (you better believe Cynthia lost her mind over this.) <br> <br> Today’s episode promises electric wires, questionable fashion, prairie romance analysis, and a soft pitch to HGTV—you’re welcome. <br> <br> Become a Supertracker: <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">sign up here</a> <br> <br> Connect with Us: </div> <ul> <li>Website:  <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">Sidetracked</a> </li> <li>Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesidetrackedshow/">CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow)</a> </li> <li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SIDETRACKED-SHOW">sidetracked with cynthia &amp; heather</a> </li> <li><a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/ama">Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dontmomalone/?hl=en">Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cynthiayanof/?hl=en">Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof)</a></li> </ul> <div>Links Mentioned:  <br> <br> </div> <ul> <li>Order your <a href="https://sidetracked.promostore.com/">Must Be Nice hat</a> here before they are sold out!</li> <li><a href="https://www.karikampakis.com/">Kari Kampakis</a></li> <li><a href="https://seekhimfirst.com/products/finding-jesus">Finding Jesus Doll</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3LMRswX">Skin Fix</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.zappos.com/p/womens-rothys-the-casual-clog-dove/product/10025298/color/13834?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=pla_x&amp;utm_campaign=22102602674&amp;utm_term=_o_60252591&amp;utm_content=_g__w__l_Cj0KCQiArOvIBhDLARIsAPwJXObdX6Xa223oLg-bjyJSbIuOWRAB9HAd31G6GacPTMtfmEQO7rL7tTsaAsWJEALw_wcB&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADnIwa-TkRi1jPScDWJSdF2XPNJsi&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiArOvIBhDLARIsAPwJXObdX6Xa223oLg-bjyJSbIuOWRAB9HAd31G6GacPTMtfmEQO7rL7tTsaAsWJEALw_wcB">Rothy’s Clogs</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.target.com/p/kristin-ess-one-signature-shampoo-with-avocado-oil-castor-oil-daily-shampoo-sulfate-free-33-8-fl-oz/-/A-76577794?sid=1764S&amp;TCID=PDS-336241369&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=336241369&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAD-5dfYwGG7KyNm3KrY0buIZ_mtmZ&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiArOvIBhDLARIsAPwJXOZ0UDtsCcIQFCQErryEf0aF9KupjxjtcrMQA5KHC5hIQUouo0mFOaMaAgSwEALw_wcB">Kristin Ess Shampoo and Conditioner</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/l-occitane-almond-hair-body-mist-P519216?country_switch=us&amp;lang=en&amp;skuId=2890135&amp;om_mmc=ppc-GG_17234313526___2890135__9026954_c&amp;country_switch=us&amp;lang=en&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=17244046241&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADnIXb3WROKPmLHpYpHaKtQPnN3rU&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiArOvIBhDLARIsAPwJXOZQemiNl8XpZPIOUP-rTLVhhBvWKk55qYVIXkxzZl2BiNHITikPCbMaAj48EALw_wcB">L’Occitane Almond Hair and Body Fragrance Mist</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3X1qG6s">Birkenstock Dupes</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/480vi1T">Pluribus show</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/48iPcq6">Tennis Bracelet</a></li> </ul> <div>Featured Sponsors:<br> <strong>PrepDish</strong>–It’s basically meal planning and grocery shopping done for me.

Pancreatitis, Pre-Check, and Pronouncing Gayla
<div>Heather and Cynthia come in hot today talking about the “not a birthday party” Heather planned for Cynthia — featuring Bridgerton gowns, Boy Scout uniforms, and Heather wearing her mom’s silk ball gown that allegedly ties 11 different ways (some of which should  probably never see daylight).<br> <br> Vegas also makes an appearance — where Mike booked a 6:30 a.m. flight “because it was cheaper,” entered Cynthia’s birthday wrong, and waltzed through TSA PreCheck while she stood with the masses questioning her life.<br> <br> It’s peak Sidetracked today: medical drama, surprise costumes, a gala/gay-la/gah-la pronunciation debate, husbands panicking over dress codes, and moms turning hospital IVs into spa fantasies. <br> <br> Come for the gallbladder chaos; stay for the gala spiral — and leave wondering if Cynthia has a slot machine problem. <br> <br> Become a Supertracker: <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">sign up here</a> <br> <br> Connect with Us: </div> <ul> <li>Website:  <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">Sidetracked</a> </li> <li>Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesidetrackedshow/">CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow)</a> </li> <li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SIDETRACKED-SHOW">sidetracked with cynthia &amp; heather</a> </li> <li><a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/ama">Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dontmomalone/?hl=en">Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cynthiayanof/?hl=en">Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof)</a></li> </ul> <div>Links Mentioned:  <br> <br> </div> <ul> <li>Order your <a href="https://sidetracked.promostore.com/">Must Be Nice hat</a> here before they are sold out!</li> <li> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQcc3pwkomw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">IG Reel of Cynthia’s Bday Celebration</a> “Oops Wrong Party”</li> <li>Pre-Order a copy of <a href="https://amzn.to/4oijRcG">“How’d I Miss That”</a> (Cynthia’s New Book)</li> <li> <a href="https://www.ourcalling.org/">Our Calling</a> Homeless Ministry in Dallas</li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-boys-girls/id1366344369">Raising Boys and Girls Enneagram Series</a></li> <li> <a href="https://amzn.to/3WEcxMu">Digital Satellite</a> to get local broadcasts/Sports</li> <li> <a href="https://amzn.to/4oONBxz">Slow Horses</a> [SHOW]</li> <li><a href="https://www.madewell.com/p/womens/accessories/bags/bucket-bags/the-essential-bucket-tote/NM988/?ccode=BR0129">Cynthia’s New Purse</a></li> <li> <a href="https://share.nuuly.com/heather536">Nuuly</a> (sign up and save $30 off your first month!)</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3qGGk5ymQ4">TipToes Trailer</a></li> <li> <a href="https://amzn.to/4oO0zM8">Heather’s New Blinds</a> (no tools needed to install!)</li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3Ls6Z5a">Aloha Bags</a></li> </ul> <div>Featured Sponsors:</div> <ul><li> <strong>PrepDish</strong>–It’s basically meal planning and grocery shopping done for me.

A Bomb Yeti, Butter Sculpture, and 10 Pizzas later
<div>Heather and Cynthia kick things off with a “poop—sorry, chocolate—brown” homecoming dress and TSA confusing a sentimental Yeti stuffed with a toothbrush charger for a small explosive. In related headlines, Heather shares her Oprah dream (because Cynthia <em>really</em> loves hearing people talk about dreams), and there’s talk of a garage door, a mysterious Snapchat troll, and ten unsolicited Papa John’s pizzas.<br> <br> Today is fully on brand for <em>Sidetracked</em>: mom drama, mean girls, rollercoasters with strangers, and the shocking revelation that Carol Burnett is still alive. Come for the color analysis; stay for the butter sculpture pitch (a Croc with gibbets, obviously), and never forget the age-old truth that people be people-in’.<br> <br> Become a Supertracker: <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">sign up here</a> <br> <br> Connect with Us: </div> <ul> <li>Website:  <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">Sidetracked</a> </li> <li>Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesidetrackedshow/">CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow)</a> </li> <li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SIDETRACKED-SHOW">sidetracked with cynthia &amp; heather</a> </li> <li><a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/ama">Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dontmomalone/?hl=en">Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cynthiayanof/?hl=en">Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof)</a></li> </ul> <div>Links Mentioned:  <br> <br> </div> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.hillhousehome.com/products/the-mila-dress-chocolate">Heather’s chocolate colored dress</a></li> <li>Try out<a href="https://share.nuuly.com/heather536"> Nuuly</a> (get $30 off first month)</li> <li>Heather’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/seattlehanddoc/">new fave IG follow</a> an orthopedic surgeon and his chef wife.
