We recorded this a bit ago, but life happened, and it took a while to actually post. Whoops. In this episode, we talked about the parasite found in lettuce, Google’s bizarre “debug project,” and consenting bugs, as well as the heartbreaking story of a little boy who was pronounced dead only to later be found alive. We also discuss the tragic drowning of Nolan Wells and similar disturbing drowning cases, Alex Sunny’s unexpected move to Afghanistan, and then debate CERN, the Mandela Effect, and The Energizer Bunny. Lettuce parasites, bugs giving consent, Afghanistan, CERN, Just another normal episode.

Summer break is officially here, and we're catching up on everything we've been up to, from everyday life updates to all the weird, wild, and unsettling stories that caught our attention. In this episode, we chat about the mysterious underground tunnels in New York and the claims surrounding the disappearance of 71 girls, the viral Vinted child trafficking conspiracy, the mysterious Buddhist speakers discovered in Mount Shasta, and the teacher who sparked controversy after panhandling and documenting it on TikTok on the first day of summer. Whether you're here for the true crime, the conspiracy theories, or just the conversation, there's something for everyone in this episode.

This is a packed episode starting with updates on the Haley Beck case, d4vd, and Makayla Rene Settles from our previous episode. Then we start yapping (here's looking at you, negative podcast reviewer guy) about everything from the chaos of Spirit Airlines to the wild idea that average citizens can actually help pay down the national debt. Things get eerie as we talk about the suspicious fog rolling through Northern California, and some unsettling history, including the 1950s testing in San Francisco and the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study. We also get into what schools are (and aren’t) teaching, the strange connections between missing scientists and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the ever-confusing Mandela Effect, and the mysterious death of Stanley Meyer. It’s a mix of updates, conspiracy, history, and “wait… what?!” moments you won’t want to miss.

We dipped back into our true crime roots just a bit and talked the latest on Makayla Rene Settles and her terrible story, D4vd’s recent arrest, and the drama behind the Alani Nu lawsuit. We’re also talking concerts, cocktails, and the moments that bring people together. Plus one story that’ll actually restore your faith in humanity: the principal who stopped a school shooter and ended up being crowned prom king. Makayla's gofundme: https://gofund.me/f01255aae

Angela and Rosa are back and covering everything, from the Katy Perry & Ruby Rose drama to a wild misconduct case involving a teacher, and a burglar who is sneaking around but clearly forgot pants were part of the plan. We’re also getting real about sickness going around schools (seriously… keep your kids home), diving into the chaos of Goodwill shopping and the Bins, and laughing about hobbies we swear we’ll start… but probably never will. Oh, and somehow we ended up talking about Scientology and some very questionable, X-rated national park situations.

We’re back!! After our last episode on 3/27/25, The Ripple Podcast is finally back with a brand new episode, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic catch-up you’ve been missing. Angela and Rosa dive into life updates before spiraling into the latest headlines that caught their attention. We’re talking everything from Kristi Noem's cross-dressing husband, and reality TV drama: Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and The Bachelorette, that just may be a wild conspiracy theory you’ll have to hear to believe. We also get into some seriously bizarre stories, including a shark caught off the California coast and a shocking case involving a quadriplegic murderer. And of course…there's plenty of side tangents, interrupting conversations, and sisterly banter, that give you a full glimpse into our wonderfully ADD brains. It’s unfiltered (unedited), all over the place, and so good to be back. Hit play and catch up with us

In this episode of The Ripple Podcast, we dive into some of the most chaotic kid stories the internet has to offer. First up, a stepdad learns the hard way that reflexes and pranks don’t mix when he accidentally lands a punch on his stepdaughter, and the dominos fall in his relationship with his wife. Who is at fault? Then, we meet a woman who graciously takes in her divorced sister—only to realize her niece is an out-of-control terror while mom does absolutely nothing to stop it. Que the psycho theme... A woman falls head over heels for her charming neighbor—until she babysits his three daughters and thinks he's in an unhappy marriage, with a baby on the way. Yikes. We also share a few more wild kid stories, debate the most popular baby names, and make a hilariously bad attempt at talking sports. Buckle up in your carseat—this one’s a ride.

Here's the correct episode. Sorry for the mixup! Listener request: Songs This episode is all about songs and music. Our first story is about a brother who is asked to sing at a sibling's wedding but struggles with a painful past. Then, we explore the true story behind Fastball's "The Way". Next, a groom is furious after a guest's song steals the spotlight on his big day. And finally, a bride wants to dance to a song dedicated to her late fiancé. We also break down the top songs that shouldn't be played at weddings and discuss what we're currently listening to. Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes...we did try to have a lighthearted, fun episode about music. But somehow, death keeps sneaking into the playlist.

Ready to break a sweat...from laughing so hard? This week on the Ripple Podcast, we're talking about the wild world of health and fitness with some unbelievable gym stories. Angela tells a story about a man who recently joined a CrossFit gym - only to find himself the unexpected center of attention. His wife isn't too happy about all the extra spotters he's attracting. Rosa talks about a woman who just wanted to run on the treadmill, but because of an unexpected gym member, she's asked to change her gym schedule. And of course, we've got some of the funniest gym fails, awarkward encounters, and moments that will make you rethink your next trip to the squat rack.

This episode was originally released in 2021 and was among the most popular. We're re-releasing it and will return with a brand-new episode next week. If you want to listen to part 2, you can find it on episode 77

Weddings. We're following up on a story from our Self-Care or Self-Scare episode, and it gets nutty. This episode has the ultimate Bridezilla with criminal tendencies, grooms that should have been left at the alter, and guests that pregame so hard they don't even make it to the ceremony. We'll talk a bit about some of our favorite movies with memorable wedding scenes. We even go back and touch on how The Ripple Podcast started out...with some true crime talk. We review the recent Gabby Petito documentary and give our opinion. Grab a glass of champagne-or a whole botttle, depending on how this episode makes you feel-and get ready for some wedding stories that will make you say, "I do...not believe this actually happened."

This week, Rosa and Angela are diving into the world of self-care...but let's be real, sometimes taking care of yourself can go very, very wrong. In this episode, we unpack: A chilling tale of frozen lady parts (yes, you read that right). 18:45 A massage therapist who really doesn't understand boundaries. 28:00 A boyfriend that needs to take self-care of himself a little more. 33:05 A massage that needs to come with a health warning. 43:00 And a bridezilla that's going to wish she eloped. And just when you think we could possibly get any smarter, we uncover the strange origins of a word you probably use all the time (but never questioned). Self-care is supposed to be relaxing...but sometimes it's just a hot mess...just like us.

What do a suspiciously secretive girlfriend, an infamous lamp, an unemployed stepkid, and a potential Karen mom have in common? Absolutely noting - except they all ended up on this episode of The Ripple Podcast and we're about to unravel their chaotic mysteries one Reddit post at a time. Will we get the full story? Probably not. Will we make wild assumptions and overanalyze every missing detail? Absolutely. Will we come up with the most diabolical minor inconveniences for people who annoy us? You better believe it. Tune in for questionable decisions, pettiness at its finest, and the kind of life advice that should probably come with a warning.

This week on the Ripple Podcast, we had planned to talk about Karen's, but instead, we accidentally spent the majority of the time plotting our revenge on the guy who dumped the truck we sold him on the side of the road...and left us with the bill. Our conversation may have started with 'entitled people' and veered off into the subject of 'how do we make this guy suffer in a way that's legally questionable but morally justified'? If you're looking for tips on how to NOT sell a vehicle to an idiot, or you just enjoy listening to two sisters spiraling into petty chaos-this is the episode for you.

This week on the Ripple Podcast, Rosa and Angela dive into the delightfully chaotic world of petty revenge. We're coving stories so wild a neighbor was sent straight to the psych ward, an aunt who gets a taste of karma she'll never forget, a rogue cat whose bathroom habits make for the ultimate fence feud, a sticky (but kind of sweet) jam story, and a Cinderella story where hopefully someone learned what happens when you're rude. It's petty, it's ridiculous, and it's exactly the energy you need today to give your brain a break from grown-up life.
