Description

Welcome to “Bubbles and Bullshit,” a podcast where both the bubbles and bullshit are flowing! We’re completely inappropriate as we explore the real truth behind being single and approaching the big 40. We’ve attended hundreds of baby/bridal showers, given up on dating apps and are the sole survivors of non-engaged/married individuals in our families. We love our married and now even our divorced friends, take pride in being the coolest Aunt to their kids, but we would be richer than Kylie Jenner if we had a dollar for every time someone asked us if we found the one yet. Breaking news: We’re still single but hope to date someone worthwhile this decade. Sometimes, we get real crazy and talk reality TV, sports and the botox we still haven’t had the guts to get. Please grab a drink and listen responsibly.

Just when you want to stop talking about the Kardashians, there's a shotgun Las Vegas wedding and all the tongues. In this week's episode of Bubbles and Bullshit, Jen and Nicole talk through all the current events from the Grammy's red carpet to Kristin Cavallari just owning the news cycle and Tyler Cameron for the social media win. After all the pop news, the duo vow to go on a social media hiatus for the next week. Will it be hard? Will they be able to make it the week? And, what did the podcast hosts wager for the person who checks their IG the most?  If that doesn't intrigue you, then you'll definitely want to tune in for their frat party shenanigans and what they are planning to kick of their warmer weather days.
In this week's Bubbles and Bullshit, Jen and Nicole discuss the slap heard round the world and how far someone should go to defend their significant other. While the two don't condone violence, when is it too far and where is it appropriate to defend your loved one's honor?  The line is gray and situational based, but we should be able to show our love in some capacity that is not violent. In addition to the Will Smith vs. Chris Rock situation, the two discuss the Kravis PDA, Will Packers ability to deliver energy to what used to be a boring Awards Show and the red carpet moments.  Nicole could also not go a week without providing an update on her Buffalo Bills and their new Stadium. 
There are no lack of current events as the Kardashians (all of them) dominate the news cycle this week. From space and no space to Grammy's revoke and Wolf begone - all was pumped out of the Kardashian PR team this week. From there NFL trades continue to be baffling and Austen from Southern Charm creates an epic love triangle in Summer House.  Why can't everybody just get along...or keep their mouthes and pants to themselves? After all the pop culture news, the two talk about their inability to make decisions.  Why is picking out outfits or a place to grab drinks so hard?  They also dive into all the decisions people are faced and how sometimes the biggest ones are easiest. Just don't trust your gut and make decisions while tipsy.  No. 1 Tip delivered in this week's episode of Bubbles and Bullshit. 
After a month of travel, Jen and Nicole finally find time to get together and chat through all the happenings of the last month.  A lot has happened in the world from masks mandates being removed, people going back to the office and gas prices rising to record levels.   The duo talk about how they have started transitioning back to their travel work lives, as well as catch up on all the sports and pop culture news. They still dont understand why the MLB is in a lockout and are shocked to see Aaron Rodgers stay in the Packers for a record $200M salary.  Before they get into their topic of the day, they dive into Wordle, Nerdle and Lewdle - the dirty 5-letter daily world game. The words get a bit inappropriate as they dive into their guessing.  To round out the episode, the two dive into toxic positivity, which is the over exaggeration of positive vibes. While they admit to trying to be overly positive, or "Polly Positive," some times one just wants to be a dick and say screw it and tell people how they really feel. 
After a brief hiatus for COVID, Jen and Nicole are back at it updating listeners on their lives giving updates on their travels, latest TV show binges and how work is getting back to pre-COVID craziness. The duo chat through how as travel and getting back to the office ramps up they are faced with the worst things of pre-COVID and COVID making life challenging to navigate through. Some of the shows they talk through include Kristen Bell's newest Netflix thriller, Sweet Magnolias and the Tinder Swindler.  And, the two podcast host really want to know did Kristen hook up with Craig?  One of them is lying, and their money is on the Uncommon James founder. 
Weather put this week's Bubbles and Bullshit a bit behind schedule, but Jen and Nicole quickly catch up their listeners on their weekly shenanigans.  Jen was doing donuts in the snow and Nicole was prancing around in the hot tub. Seems about right. This week's topic focuses on common sense and people's lack thereof.  Did you know that the most intelligent humans tend to lack common sense? Or, how people have 0 common sense when it comes to the microwave? Jen and Nicole also point out the obvious situations where people are completely lost...the airport...when parking.In addition to talking about the weather and all things common sense, the duo also chat through the Bills epic win and the Cowboys epic fail.  Bills Mafia was in full effect with both Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas rooting the home team on from the sideline amidst the below zero temperatures. Other topics include Jana Kramer's recent social media diarrhea, Meatloaf's recent death and Nicole breaking her Botox cherry. 
In their second episode of Bubbles and Bullshit, Jen and Nicole take on all things FEAR. Inspired by the Will Smith quote that fear is fake, the duo talk through how it simply something manifested in one's own mind.  In all reality its simply a cop out. They caution there is a clear distinction between fear and actual danger and in order to move forward in life one must put fear to the side and trek forward. Before they dive into how fear is fabricated inside one's own ego, the two chat through the upcoming football playoffs with deep dives into the Bills and Cowboys matchups.  Nicole also divulges on her impromptu purchase while preparing for her playoff party for the game. Other NFL storylines includes a swan song for Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady's bromance for Gronkowski.

Why are doing nice and special things for people a bad thing? Why do nice guys and girls always finish last? As a continuation of their fake nice guys podcast, the That's What We Said Podcast hosts  talk about why being nice can backfire. It's definitely a tricky balance of being too nice while still keeping things exciting and adventurous.  No one wants a person in their life to make things too easy or too available, especially when it turns into a relationship where the energy is sucked out of the whole situation.  The moral of the story of this week That's What We Said Podcast is being nice shouldn't be a bad thing and the best things come out when you are just yourself. Before diving into all things about being nice, they talk about all the love and engagements in the air.

Cockiness anyone? In addition to all the shenanigans on who tickles their fancy and rapid fire on TV men they prefer, the two talk through OBX Season 2, the  Bachelorette and Greg's gaslighting, all the fun facts that Nicole learns from Pillows and Beer that help guide their podcast, as well as Josh Allen's new deal.  For all the 411 on how they barely navigate through life, listen in.
