In this episode, Brittany and Sydni sit down with the simple goal of answering some of Yahoo Answers’ most unhinged questions… and then immediately lose control of the conversation. What starts as chaotic crowd-sourced Q&A quickly turns into an hour-plus deep dive into Sydni lore, including stories about Brittany’s mom accidentally setting the kitchen counter on fire with a forgotten candle, Sydni’s lifelong relationship with pickles, her feral ability to roam their hometown unsupervised at 13, and her truly concerning method of eating chocolate by melting it in a Ziploc bag in the shower and squeezing it out like a snack tube.

There is no structure. There is no resolution. Just spiraling tangents, sibling trauma, and the kind of stories that definitely did not need to be shared publicly — but absolutely were. If you like episodes that start with a plan and end with lore you didn’t ask for, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Brittany and Sydni try to answer the most pressing Yahoo Answers of our age. From eating the Mona Lisa to getting Silly Putty stuck in your pubes, they are here to solve your crisis. In true Hot-Mess fashion, they end up stuck in a deep dive that takes them on an hour and a half tangent on everything from childhood trauma to haunted houses. Stay tuned next week for the chaotic tangent episodes!!!

On this bonus Saturday episode, Sydni entertains us for a brief 10 minutes with some of the Daddest Jokes she could find. Never mind the fact that she thought that 20 jokes would somehow take her 30 minutes to tell. So we present to you this, our shortest ever episode, for a little extra entertainment to ring in the new year.

In this episode, Brittany hosts and once again uses the podcast as an excuse to talk at length about the greatest actor to ever live: Nicolas Cage. This is the second episode dedicated to him, and frankly, it won’t be the last.

Brittany gives Sydni iconic movies and characters — including Titanic, Harry Potter, Twilight, The Wizard of Oz, Cast Away, Forrest Gump, and characters like Voldemort, Bella Swan, and Poison Ivy — and together they break down exactly how Nicolas Cage would method act to prepare for each role. The answer is always unhinged, deeply committed, and somehow involves physical transformation, emotional suffering, and at least one questionable life choice.

This episode is half character analysis, half Nicolas Cage appreciation hour, and fully committed to the belief that he could play literally anyone if given enough prep time and artistic freedom. If you love Nicolas Cage even a fraction as much as Brittany does — or if you’re ready to understand why you should — this episode is for you.

In this episode, Sydni hosts and puts some of the world’s biggest brands on trial by asking one simple question: what if companies were actually honest? Brittany and Sydni take turns creating much more realistic slogans for places like AirBNB, KFC, Dunkin’, Burger King, and more — and shockingly, none of them are flattering.

Things take a personal turn when Brittany shares a truly cursed AirBNB experience involving friends, false expectations, and the kind of stay that makes you reconsider hotels forever. Between fake marketing, real-life disappointments, and way too much laughing, this episode is basically a warning label for modern convenience.

If you’ve ever felt personally betrayed by a brand, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Brittany hosts and puts Sydni through a rapid-fire series of deeply unnecessary questions that were never meant to be answered out loud. What starts as innocent “Would You Rather” prompts quickly spirals into full-blown chaos — including a scenario where Sydni somehow flushes her pants down an airplane toilet and crashes the plane, and another where she’s forced to choose which Harry Potter character she’d sacrifice in order to get into Hogwarts.

There are no rules, no safe answers, and absolutely no attempt to rein things in. Just unhinged hypotheticals, aggressive overthinking, and the kind of logic that only exists when you commit fully to the bit. If you like episodes where things escalate for no reason and somehow get worse every five minutes, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Sydni hosts a completely unhinged breakdown of Lord of the Rings characters by answering the question Tolkien never wanted asked: what would each of them smoke, and what would they drink? Brittany and Sydni go back and forth assigning everything from pipeweed to cigarettes to wildly questionable substances and drinks to the Fellowship, villains, and fan favorites alike.

With absolutely no respect for canon and full commitment to chaos, the sisters spiral through Middle-earth using nothing but vibes, character energy, and very strong opinions. High fantasy meets high fantasy in an episode that proves not even Tolkien’s world is safe from Hot-Mess logic.

In this episode, Sydni unleashes a collection of Reddit’s finest “Kevin” stories on Brittany — the legendary tales of people who genuinely mean well but somehow manage to create disasters simply by existing. From the dude who crashed his entire workplace by opening 1,200 tabs at once, to the guy who dug a perfectly measured rectangular hole only to buy a round pool… it’s a full parade of chaos, confusion, and unintentional comedy.

As Brittany tries to process each new Kevin incident, the sisters spiral into laughter, secondhand embarrassment, and the universal truth: everyone knows a Kevin… and if you don’t, you might be the Kevin.
