In this powerful and emotional episode of Talking Trash and Tacos, Sarah and Jessika dive deep into the real numbers, raw stories, and messy realities behind the headlines. From childhood trauma and runaway stats to stranger danger myths, broken foster systems, and rising online predator threats — we unpack the uncomfortable truths people don't want to talk about.

In this episode, Sarah and Jessika are back with some serious trash talk—and a few PSA warnings you didn’t know you needed. From brain-eating amoebas and Disney lice checks to TikTok challenges, scammy stores, and fake social media friends, this one’s full of chaotic realness. Plus, a Blink documentary recap, a debate over using soap, Cleveland's bed bug reputation, and Toledo’s latest viral mess. It’s weird, it’s funny, it’s probably not safe to drink the water… enjoy the ride.

What starts as a sweet surprise birthday trip to Canada turns into absolute chaos when Sarah and Bryan get pulled over at the border—and ultimately banned from Canada for life. Why? Well... surprise bullets in the van, a suspicious butt pad situation, and a border patrol officer with questions. Lots of questions.
In this wild ride of an episode, we break down:

The emotional rollercoaster of being detained and searched
How a single ammo pack from Grandpa’s house caused international drama
What it feels like to almost get strip-searched with padded underwear
The crazy truth about who owns the Ambassador Bridge
A sweaty, no-A/C paint night where everyone bonded over thyroids and melty makeup
Facebook unfriending confusion (and why Sarah’s daughter isn’t mad at you)
From border busts to birthday busts, this episode proves no celebration goes smoothly in our world—but there’s always a good story. Buckle up. This one’s unforgettable.

In this no-holds-barred episode, Sarah and Jess dive into a whirlwind of wild Toledo headlines—from Five Guys employees packing heat to a teen girl charged in a shocking stabbing just blocks from their rental properties. The duo unpacks the gray areas of domestic violence, teenage impulse, and police responsibility, all while keeping it real with their signature mix of humor and heart.

The conversation takes a turn toward Toledo trash talk, including drama in the local podcast scene (yes, Andrew Z and his wife again), viral Facebook fights, and even an unexpected tip about a married pastor with a secret. Plus, the girls try kava for the first time, talk THC drinks, oxygen bars, and what it’s like being blocked from the Nosy Asses of Toledo Facebook group.

As always, they reflect on life, loss, and the chaos in between—leaving you laughing, thinking, and wondering what the hell is going on in Northwest Ohio.

Step into Toledo’s dark past with Sarah and Jess as they unravel the mystery of the Toledo Clubber—a 1920s phantom attacker who left a trail of fear and unanswered questions. From bar shutdowns and funeral home scandals to ghostly legends of Dr. Crow’s melonhead children, this episode is packed with bizarre history, creepy folklore, and local trashy tales you won’t hear anywhere else. Grab your tacos, Toledo—this one’s a wild ride through crime, chaos, and a touch of the paranormal.

This week, Sarah and Jess tackle one of the heaviest topics yet: pedophiles, grooming, and the myths society still gets wrong. From busting the “stranger danger” stereotype to calling out the red flags hiding in plain sight, the Trashies pull back the curtain on the uncomfortable truths parents need to hear.

They dive into shocking Ohio stats, expose how institutions like churches and schools cover up abuse, and debate controversial punishments—from chemical castration to Miracle Village, a Florida community made up entirely of sex offenders. The conversation even pushes into the future, asking whether AI-generated child exploitation images should be punished like the real thing.

As always, there’s plenty of raw honesty, unfiltered banter, and a dose of sass—but the message is clear: stay alert, trust your gut, and protect the kids.

If you or someone you know needs help, call the RAINN hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

What’s it really like to share a body but have your own mind, heart, and dreams? In this episode, Sarah and Jess dive headfirst into the bizarre, brave, and sometimes jaw-dropping world of conjoined twins. From TLC stars who drive and date, to historic twins with dozens of kids, to the hilarious thought of what we’d be like stuck together — nothing is off limits. We talk love lives, bathroom battles, reality TV, and even OnlyFans rumors (yep, we went there). Equal parts shocking, hilarious, and fascinating — this episode proves truth is stranger than fiction.

Welcome back to Talking Trash and Tacos! Today, we’re rolling the clock back to the summer of 1971—right here in Toledo—where a nineteen-year-old girl’s story blew open one of the biggest police scandals in city history.

This isn’t just a tale about late-night skinny-dipping at Willys Park. It’s about power, intimidation, and secrecy—and what happens when the very people sworn to protect are the ones breaking the law. It all started with a young woman named Diana Mulins Lieberois, whose encounters with Toledo police officers exposed a shocking web of misconduct.

We dive into the events that led to nine officers being punished (out of hundreds rumored to be involved), the pressure and harassment Diana endured, and how this case ultimately sparked the creation of Toledo’s Internal Affairs division. Along the way, we talk about the culture of the 1970s, the blurred lines between authority and abuse, and why stories like this still matter today.

From scandal and skinny-dipping to corruption and cover-ups, this episode peels back the layers of a little-known piece of Toledo history.
