In this episode, hosts Karen and Kyle engage in a lively conversation with comedian Lana Siebel, exploring her journey from being a refugee from Ukraine to becoming a stand-up comedian. They discuss the challenges of parenting, cultural identity, and the transition from acting to comedy. The conversation also touches on the dynamics of the comedy scene, political commentary, and the experiences of performing in front of various audiences. Lana shares her insights on motherhood, her experiences with her son, and her thoughts on current events, including the leadership of Zelensky. The episode concludes with humorous anecdotes and reflections on the challenges of being a comedian.  You won't believe our headline!!

Karen and Kyle  welcome back comedian Sergio Chicon for lively discussion of body parts,  fitness and well-being to parenting and communication. The worst mom of the week is perhaps the worst mom of the year. Sergio has insane stories about his reptile petS.

Kyle has jumped on the hormone therapy train and despite a single whisker, she's still beautiful and more importantly, her energy is up.  Karen is obsessed with the Handmaid's Tale and a little disappointed in White Lotus. The moms talk exercise and mood.  The worst mom this week (and a nominee every week) is Pam Bondi. And listen to what happened to the guy who only slightly resembles Elon Musk. 

Kyle and Karen are so happy to see each other after a few bumpy months.  Kyle is not enjoying menopause and Karen has a broken pelvis. The healthcare system is a necessary horror. And so, our listeners can try to avoid it by taking care of selves all the time. Casey Anthony is back in the news, and it’s gonna make you mad.  But we love you all so much.

The moms are joined by creative director and artist Brandon Page who went to High School with Kyle. They talk election results, Karen’s latest injury, and becoming more creative in turbulent times. Brandon talks openly about being diagnosed with autism later in life and how he understands his past better because of it. Karen's worst mom is just a spoiled celebrity kid and Kyle ends on a headline about a really weird Greek dude.

It's going to be fun for baby Goldie to grow up in a house with two brilliant comics.  Casey has one crazy story after another, including that time she learned she was pregnant.

Kyle and Karen go all political this week with guest comic Liz Miele.  She is a parent to the slightly obese Lunchbox.  Lunchbox is a cat. Liz would make JD Vance's head explode despite the fact that she would likely be a better parent than Kyle and Karen combined. We learn that Karen is a dog anti vaxxer.   Don't miss my Instagram    https://www.instagram.com/bergreenkaren/   Check out my new podcast SHUT UP MOMMY"S TALKING!   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shut-up-mommys-talking/id1553303853

Carla delights Karen and Kyle with a zillion stories about working with stars. Yes, she was just in this mega Ariana video, but she also did serious theater with Kelly McGillis. Kelly, if you are listening, Carla wants to reconnect. Her kids have been working since they were infants, and Carla sounds like the perfect stage mother. She's more Maria von Trapp than Kris Jenner.

As Joe gears up for the launch of his newest YouTube Special, the crew waxes nostalgic about 80s TV shows.    Karen goes into detail about her brush with Eve Plumb, setting off an intense Brady Bunch discussion.    Joe apparently is the worst parent of the week.  The show wraps with Joe's Tom Cruise story-- it's priceless!   Don't miss my Instagram    https://www.instagram.com/bergreenkaren/   Check out my new podcast SHUT UP MOMMY"S TALKING!   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shut-up-mommys-talking/id1553303853

Karen and Kyle chat with superstar Brian Kiley as he gears up for his Middle Eastern tour. We start the episode like grown-ups, discussing Brian’s origin story and the proper pronunciation of Qatar. However, things quickly go off the rails as soon as we touch on cannibalism. But the discussion about the nude beach at the end of the show is one for the record books.

Kyle chimes in from a decaying hotel room and is being stalked by a fan, but nothing will dampen her spirits because BFF Carmen Lynch is this week's guest.    The gals reminisce about the good old days when you could get a man by just following The Rules. Now, everything is different. The worst mom of the week is local as is our headline.    https://www.instagram.com/bergreenkaren/   Check out my new podcast SHUT UP MOMMY'S TALKING!   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shut-up-mommys-talking/id1553303853
