It’s been a year of egg salad, Red Robin shoutouts, and tinned fish recommendations, and somehow, we’re still mad (and still recording).

In this anniversary episode of Wait, You’re Mad?, we reflect on the chaos and growth of year one: from our pettiest grievances to our proudest unhinged moments.

We’re serving up superlatives, revisiting our greatest rants, and pulling back the curtain on listener stats. Plus, we manifest some wild dreams for year two—including a hot girl walk episode and a live show, probably at a suspiciously carpeted bowling alley.

Whether you’re new here or have been mad with us since day one, this is your celebration too.

In this episode, Madi and Lexie dive into what it really means to live intentionally and protect your peace—without losing your power, your voice, or your sense of self. From nightly walks and morning journaling to red light therapy and the power of saying no, the conversation explores how small, mindful choices can lead to big shifts in clarity, calm, and confidence.

They reflect on the difference between true rest and performative calm, the ways they’ve learned to listen to their bodies, and why boundaries are a form of both self-respect and emotional honesty. Whether it’s deleting phone distractions or rethinking your default “yes,” this episode is about reclaiming your energy, redefining rest, and embracing a softer—but still strong—approach to life.

Plus: a very important tangent on TSA PreCheck and the REAL ID.

This week, we’re talking all things forensic psychology with Dr. Ash, a licensed clinical psychologist who works with individuals in the criminal justice system. We unpack society’s obsession with true crime, what narcissism and psychopathy actually mean, and why therapy on TV makes real psychologists cringe. From red flags in relationships to the myths that drive her mad, Ash gives us a raw, fascinating look behind the curtain—with just the right dose of humor and side-eye.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of mental illness, true crime, and criminal behavior that may be sensitive for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

Books Mentioned:
Without Conscience - Dr. Robert Hare
The Psychopath Whisperer - Kent Kiehl

This week on Wait, You’re Mad?, we’re owning up to our guilty pleasures — the cringe shows we can’t stop watching, the snacks we keep rebuying, and the oddly specific internet rabbit holes we fall into at 2 a.m. From the Titanic theme song to luxury candles, nothing’s off limits. But is it really guilty if it brings you joy? Let’s unpack the shame, the satisfaction, and maybe retire the term altogether.

This week, we're back with one of our favorite segments: W.Y.M. — Wish, Yes, Magic. We're talking about what we're calling in, saying yes to, and the little moments that made us stop and feel something.

Lexie is in attempting to become a golf girlie and fully committed to romanticizing the tiniest parts of her day. Madi is leaning hard into her old lady gardening phase, complete with Better Homes & Gardens advice.

We also unpack: the emotional toll of socializing as an adult, turning on the A/C vs. soaking in that sweet window breeze, a chaotic core memory from our high school golf days (spoiler: we were definitely personality hires), and why @CondimentClaire might be influencing our entire fridge situation.

Field trips: the ultimate classroom escape. This week, we're diving into the chaos, nostalgia, and unspoken rules of those magical (and sometimes tragic) school day adventures. From permission slip drama to elite overnight zoo trips, soggy PB&Js to bus seat politics, we’re covering it all. Plus, what we really learned from field trips.

This week, we’re throwing it back to the golden era of sleepovers — when all you needed was a living room floor, a Blockbuster rental, and enough sugar to stay up 'til sunrise. We’re swapping stories about questionable sleeping setups, prank calls via *67, ghost stories that ruined lives, and the iconic games that made (or broke) a night — like Truth or Dare and the ancient ritual of Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board. Plus, we’re revealing the songs that soundtracked our legendary homemade dance routines.
