The Side Chat

The Side Chat

By: Kristen Walters, Tricia Olds, Caitlin Kean

Language: en

Categories: Comedy, Improv, Kids, Family, Parenting, Society, Culture

Everyone knows the best conversations happen in the side convos outside the group chat. Join Krissy and Caitlin as they SIDE CHAT about all the unhinged things going down in the main chat. Each week, the girls discuss (and let's be honest, judge) listener-submitted stories of wild, out-of-pocket, and otherwise wtf experiences popping off in real-life group chats. Along the way, they deep dive into everything pop culture, motherhood, adult friendship, and beyond–all while talking over each other and laughing too hard at their own jokes. Hosted on Acast.

HOT AND FUN
Jan 09, 2026

Happy new year, side chicks! After a wee holiday hiatus, the gals are back with a VENGEANCE - we're talking real hot girl sh*t like 2026 vision boards, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and ADULT HIP HOP DANCE CLASSES (you read that right). Plus, a SIDE CHAT so messy it likely violates an NDA involving a jilted ex and a holiday card so unhinged that it makes Lily Allen's album seem tame.


Also - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRISSY!!!!

Famous Last Words
Oct 31, 2025

Darkness falls across the land

The midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood

And whosoever shall be found

Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell

And rot inside a corpse’s shell

The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years

And grizzly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doom

And...

Memory Leak

There comes a moment in everyone woman's life when it's time to put down childish things and instead, pick up the mantle of our fore-mothers and embrace the ancient wisdom and innate knowing that only comes with maturity: the ladies of The Side Chat have officially aged into the DWTS discourse. And honestly, it feels RIGHT**

Primal Urges
Sep 24, 2025

Something has taken ahold of The Side Chat - something primal, uncontrollable... something not totally of this world. An impulse that transcends simple wanting or desire. It's the urgent, undeniable NEED TO MAKE CHILI.


Clearly when the ladies are without Trish, the show goes a bit off the rails. And by "off the rails" we mean topics that NPR has deemed "too mild for primetime." But if you're interested in hearing hot takes on movies that have been out for 30 years or ever considered Dorothy Hamill an unsung hair icon, this episode is for you.

Dysegulators! Mount up! A rare Friday special episode of The Side Chat simply because Caitlin couldn't stop doomscrolling for 5 seconds to get the ep up any earlier.

There's No Time!
Sep 10, 2025

It's a new week on The Side Chat but the ladies have NO TIME to play nice - Trish is literally wasting away and the clock is ticking!!! Things the gals have no time for: fitness journeys, the VMAs, and questionable decisions to eat 4 day old pad Thai with shrimp. And they DEFINITELY don't have time for a SIDE CHAT about workplace drama involving an inappropriate boss sending friendship n00ds WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

Virile King
Sep 05, 2025

This week on The Side Chat, the girls are running away from home and straight into the unsuspecting arms of Mitt Romney. Kris poses a classic question: what would you do if you won the Powerball (a whole HALF A MILLION DOLLARS*)? But it turns out, that’s hard to answer when your dreams have already come true—namely, scoring a no-contact selfie with your favorite local politician in a Walgreens parking lot after years of manifestation. From there, the ladies dive into a piping-hot SIDE CHAT about a playdate payment plan that always ends in nonconsensual pizza–in the mo...

Having a SUMMER

Playlist Politics
Aug 08, 2025

Surprise! It’s a special Friday drop and your favorite trio is back! The ladies are getting real about the little things no one warns you about as you get older. From age spots to mustache maintenance and bikini line honesty that only happens between close friends, the girls are talking about all the things that quietly creep in with age. After Tricia shares her very unexpected past as a child dance judge, the gals SIDE CHAT about the unspoken responsibilities of shared playlists and party aux etiquette—because someone has to keep the vibe going (and that someone is Kris...

Couples Therapy

It's another week on The Side Chat and Trish and Caitlin are playing 1v1 as Krissy continues her jetsetting ways ("this is going to ruin the tour... the world tour"). This episode is basically Couples Therapy except without a licensed professional to offer any real guidance or even general direction. The ladies share their strategies for getting the voices in their heads to cooperate (not now, Brian!) and reveal a little game called "Airport Husband" that producer Evan mightttt not be especially into. After determining their post-apocalyptic spouses, the gals segue over to a two-part SIDE CHAT about a doomed...

IT'S SEASON 3, SIDE CHICKS! The ladies of The Side Chat are back after their first week off in a full calendar year and it's truly too soon to tell if they even remember how to podcast. But they've got BIG plans for the new season including new special guests - so they had to start off strong with a mystery guest who's as wise as he is toothless - and honestly he might just be coming for the girls' hosting jobs.

Brablems (8008)

It's the Season 2 Finale and the ladies of The Side Chat are going out with a bang (and a bra)! Coming off the heels of Cait and Krissy's recent confessions about their lack of basic bra hygiene (#castironskillet), the gals are joined this week by a very special guest - Rebeka Polgar, founder of Tigers Eye - an award-winning company on a mission to design the best sports bra ever created, backed by science. Rebeka breaks down why supporting the girls is so important - and even issues a sweat-smell challenge to Krissy who has been training her whole...

Summer Shuffle
Jul 02, 2025

This week on The Side Chat, Trish has been felled by the cruelest injustice of all: a summer cold. So Cait and Kris (and their ever-present anxiety) are left to carry the pod (and their nearly year-long streak of recording without break). Cait kicks off a fresh installment of Caitlin’s Chaos Corner, this time featuring her move - a days-long comedy of errors not for the faint of heart. From there, the nostalgia hits hard as the girls spiral back to the golden days of long distance dedications to their middle school crushes on Jammin' 94.5. Then Kris and Cait di...

HOT IN HERRE
Jun 25, 2025

It’s Episode 20 (maybe?) and The Side Chat might just be too hot to handle this week. Caitlin’s Chaos Corner is back (was it ever even gone?) and the ladies are talking post-nursing-brain recovery, relationship slumps, and the way our kids are leaving us emotionally mangled and scrambled. After a triumphant return from the Midwestern HR lady, the gals tackle a SIDE CHAT about a post-divorce rebound happening so fast it makes J.Lo’s (and Fred Armisen's) marital history look amateur.

*This episode in no way brought to you by Chuck E. Cheese* It's a monumental week on The Side Chat: the national nightmare that is Caitlin's Chaos Corner may finally be coming to an end. Cait is bringing serious Lucky Girl energy to the pod this week with a hot n fresh update on her personal housing crisis. Indeed the vibes are so good that Trish is putting out the vibe herself with an open-ended proposal to producer Evan should any unexpected accidents befall Caitlin. After diagnosing Kris with podcast-related amnesia, that gals actively don't get paid to talk about...

Nasty Lucky Girls

Calling all lucky boys and nasty girls: it's a new week on The Side Chat! And since we all know women be shopping, Tricia takes us inside a seldom discussed but nevertheless monumental motherhood milestone: shopping for new bras when you're ready to retire your nursing bras. And with new undergarments come new horrors as Cait and Krissy bond over their abject lack of care or maintenance for their bras–preferring instead to give them "the old cast iron skillet treatment." Despite such deeply shameful confessions, the pod continues with a discourse about how Cait needs to stop saying "there's a...

Integrity Pledge

This week on The Side Chat, Tricia joins the pod fashionably late thanks to baby bedtime battles–but fear not! Krissy and Cait are more than happy to fill the time making plans to drunkenly endorse each other for extremely unprofessional skills on LinkedIn. Over in Caitlin’s Chaos (and Asbestos) Corner™, Cait gives Krissy actual hives by making yet another offer on a house—this time, sight unseen. (Spoiler: still homeless but it's a hell of an HGTV show.) Once Trish joins and the team is operating at full strength, the gals spiral over the cosmic injustice of Mother’s Day comi...

Grab your Throat Coat, it's time for another episode of The Side Chat. It's Memorial Day which ironically means the girls can't remember the last time they had childcare. Tricia's flaunting that DRIP (postnasal), Krissy finally confesses she's Canadian (eh!), and Caitlin can't stop making offers on houses in the Greater Boston area. Along the way, the gals unpack why home inspections may be the new therapy ("Tell me what's wrong with me FOUNDATIONALLY") and why you never want to bring a blacklight to the Jack Shack. After a quick musical sting dedicated to our exactly zero high school listeners...

Summer of 2016

It's another week of THE SIDE CHAT and the ladies are living like it's the summer of 2016–even if they can't remember how old they were at that time. Things kick off with every parent’s worst nightmare: the ER visit. Specifically, when to casually (or not-so-casually) demand a plastic surgeon to protect your kid’s future modeling career. Somewhere between the hospital and an unsolicited 3-woman staging of The Departed: The Musical, the conversation shifts to Caitlin's Chaos Corner for a quick how-to on house hunting across state lines without your husband (but WITH his buy in) that results in all...

Family Matters

This week on THE SIDE CHAT, the ladies are buzzin' and beefin' as Krissy and Tricia continue their blood feud with Caitlin and the pod caught in the crossfire. But while Trish actually attends to family matters (and not of the Steve Urkel persuasion), Krissy and Cait take yet another journey to the outer limits of Caitlin's sanity thanks to what can only be described as another Biblical plague descending on her home–this time in the form territorial carpenter bees (NIM-BEES if you will). After a quick stop over to Caitlin's Chaotic Craft Corner™ for a lesson in DIYing your...

It's a new week on The Side Chat and the cortisol coffers are DEPLETED thanks to the white-hot anxiety rollercoaster that is trying to sell a home. A ill-timed water leak leads to some serious waterworks–both literally and emotionally–as well as a cast of New Jersey characters parading through the pod thanks to some overzealous voice acting from Cait. Despite it all, the gals unpack (let's be honest, try to convince themselves) that anxiety is NOT intuition and life isn't just moving from one problem to the next (despite what Caitlin's Uber driver may say).

Caitlin finally decides to stop vague-tweeting her life and the group dives into some major life updates, big transitions, and poor coping strategies.

That's right, the ladies are down a mom and Tricia and Caitlin are forced to soldier on with a glaring Krissy-shaped hole in the pod (and their hearts). But fear not, the gals still manage to go HARD IN THE PAINT despite Krissy's absence (nay, in her honor)–because we're no quitters (despite what it might say in Caitlin's calendar).

Long Skinny Boobs
Oct 23, 2024

This week's episode is broadcasting from the liminal space that is motherhood. The gals are discussing high school superlatives (#flirt), professional yapping (with or without charm), and pure unadulterated Millennial cringe. They also grapple with a SIDE CHAT about navigating an adult friendship breakup while still preserving the friend group dynamic. So grab your tickets to the Husband Fight Club, pour yourself a warm shot of gin, and throw your boobs over your shoulder–it's time for another SIDE CHAT.

Being in Cahoots
Oct 16, 2024

This week, the girls are bringing some serious Tuesday energy (historically the weirdest day of the week to podcast) as they discuss failed attempts at sober September (#SoberSix), lost wallets, and why haircuts are worth 3 therapy sessions. They also strategize about how to ditch your friend's lame tag-along husband with SIDE CHAT subterfuge and expert level scheming.


Fun fact: Evan edited this week's pod from his jail cell where he's currently serving 7-10 for parking in front of a school even though he told Caitlin he didn't want to.

Sleepy Treat Girls
Oct 09, 2024

This episode is for the girls who are neither early birds nor night owls (there are dozens of us!). This week the ladies are going deep on self-esteem in your late 30s: from mommy makeovers & preventative botox to establishing an early morning workout routine when all you want to do is Alex Mack yourself deeper into bed. So pour yourself a glass of Sutter Home and grab your Yasso bars and join us–because this certainly ain't the quiet car.

*Bonus Episode* Pulling a Trish
Oct 02, 2024

Two new SIDE CHAT episodes for the price of one! The gals are being visited by ghosts of boyfriends past as they discuss their questionable dating histories. They also unpack just who their algorithms think they are and dish on weeks-old celebrity gossip like they're TMZ or something. Listen to this week's episode and you could earn 200 stickers for your well-intentioned sticker chart–that's halfway to a puppy!
