Description

Send us Fan MailEveryone has pet peeves… we just decided to say ours out loud (hopefully not so loud that we annoy you).Some of these are minor. Some are completely unhinged. And some might actually be… neurological.You might be dealing with misophonia—that very real phenomenon where certain sounds (gum smacking, soup slurping, aggressive keyboard typing on airplanes ) instantly trigger your nervous system.But not all pet peeves are about sound. Some are about something deeper—like sensing inauthenticity, fake happiness, or just… off energy.As we spiral through our list, we start to realize these aren’t just random icks. They actually reveal a lot about our (very high) standards, our boundaries, and what we really value in other people.We get into:The sounds that instantly trigger our nervous system (misophonia is real)The connection between high standards, hygiene, and visual chaosSocial media “happiness” that just doesn’t feel authenticThe unspoken rules of airplanes, family dynamics, and work jargonSome of these are relatable. Some are irrational. All of them are honest.If you’ve ever felt irrationally annoyed and needed validation—this episode is for you. And if you just need a good laugh… this is also for you! We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place.
