What happens when a registered nurse and a registered veterinary technician compare notes about the things people do in the name of healthcare? Apparently, a whole lot of questionable decisions.

This week on Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we're busting healthcare myths, sharing stories from human and veterinary medicine, and discussing everything from Q-tips and medication mishaps to flea prevention, essential oils, and the surprisingly common problem of people mistaking their dogs' nipples for ticks. Yes, really.

Along the way, we tackle medical misconceptions, patient and pet owner education, pain management, and why listening to your healthcare professionals matters.

It's equal parts healthcare education, ridiculous stories, and completely unsolicited commentary. Because whether your patient has two legs or four, there's always something to talk about.

Really… you can't make this stuff up.

Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas is a GrifChap Studio production.

What do college course numbers actually mean? Why don’t schools teach us how to do taxes? And most importantly—can a fish double as deodorant?

This week on Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we’re bouncing from the things that have disappeared from our hometowns to the questionable usefulness of some college classes, the mysteries of registrars, zoology, weird animal facts, therapy, anatomy, and an unexpectedly long journey from Carpe deodorant to carp at Bass Pro Shop.

Plus, we share what’s coming up for us outside the podcast, including new educational YouTube projects, more adventures out in the community, and some of what we have planned for Season 2.

Somewhere along the way, Michael-Thomas says, “Slap that fish under your pit.” And frankly, there was no recovering after that.

Sierra and Michael-Thomas are back—and apparently, the air is real close out there. In the Season 2 premiere of Really…, they recap a summer filled with Tybee Island food, boating on Lake Jocassee, body-confidence breakthroughs, favorite music and audiobooks, a Pink Floyd planetarium experience, an unexpected tick-borne illness, and a Fourth of July storm that sent an 80-foot tree crashing into the neighborhood. Plus, they preview a new season of road trips, local stories, special guests, and more time together—in person and occasionally on location. Welcome back to Really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas!
