We're recapping our Halloween night out as Mia Thermopolis and Princess Mia, attempting to play matchmaker with a 40-year-old finance guy dressed as Beetlejuice, and mourning the mysterious disappearance of Kelsey's beloved Celine sunglasses (St. Anthony, we're counting on you). We're also getting into all things pop culture: breaking down the Dancing with the Stars Disney Night performances, our favorite dances, questionable song choices, and the Love Is Blind finale (SPOILER ALERT!). Plus, we're sharing our October favorites, from beauty and fashion finds to books and everything in between. Basically, we've got reality TV opinions, questionable matchmaking skills, and a missing luxury accessory to investigate. Just another week on Normal Shit.

What the actual hell did we just watch?! This week on Normal Shit, Kelsey and Olivia are breaking down Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything, the wild, three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary that left us with approximately one million questions and absolutely no consensus. Is Elizabeth Holmes a master manipulator, deeply misunderstood, or somehow both? Is Billy the most suspicious man alive? Are they actually in love, or is something much more calculated going on? We’re unpacking the shower scene heard ’round the internet, the suspicious timing of those pregnancies, Billy’s power of attorney and questionable social media antics, Amanda Seyfried’s jaw-dropping entrance, and Nathan’s unmatched ability to make every interaction excruciatingly awkward. Plus, we debate whether Amanda was the right person to weigh in and why our opinions on Elizabeth kept changing throughout the entire documentary. We officially have 47 new conspiracy theories. Let’s discuss. Spoiler alert: We get into the entire documentary, so watch You Can See Everything before listening! Normal Shit | A podcast by Kelsey Barberio and Olivia Lagaly

Dancing with the Stars Horror Night! We discuss Shirley Ballas’ brutal scores, Connor’s standout performance (proud of our king), the double elimination, and Val Chmerkovskiy’s return after the Carrie Ann Inaba Will Smithcontroversy. Then we chat Love Is Blind Rob and Michaella’s ever so concerning dynamic, the season’s lack of convincing couples, and why we’re not exactly betting on many (or any) weddings. Plus, Chrishell Stause and G Flip’s shocking breakup, Savannah Chrisley’s engagement and pregnancy announcement (and the jaw-dropping details surrounding her fiancé and the RING... omg), and a wholesome Tara Lipinski family moment to end things on a happy note. As always, expect strong opinions, celebrity gossip, and absolutely no shortage of things to discuss. Follow Normal Shit for more pop culture commentary and reality TV recaps!

We’re breaking down Love Is Blind Season 11 through the second drop of episodes, and it's... something! From Connecticut’s self-proclaimed "rich" boy who is absolutely not giving JFK Jr., to the love triangles, general lack of love, and men who are pretty much the worst, we’re getting into all of it. Who’s actually here for love? Who’s going to make it for real? And, damn, is this really the best they could find in Boston?! The pods are open! Let us know your thoughts.

It’s Dedication Night on Dancing With the Stars, and we have THOUGHTS. 💃 From the emotional performances and heartfelt tributes to the Val Chmerkovskiy drama that has everyone talking, we’re breaking down the biggest moments of the night, the dances that got us in our feelings, and everything happening on and off the ballroom floor.

Is Harry Styles actually dating Zoë Kravitz?! We’re unpacking the blind items, recapping his concert at Madison Square Garden, and getting into this week’s biggest pop culture headlines. From Kelly Clarkson’s bird-buying Pretty Woman fiasco and Selma Blair’s plane incident to Ciara Miller's elimination on Dancing with the Stars, Collin Gosselin family drama, and Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke making MONEY, there’s plenty to discuss. Then we go through some of our Netflix documentary picks of the week: The Widower: Til Death Do Us Part and the Doc Antle/Tiger King mini-series. It’s another week of celebrity gossip, reality TV drama, and completely normal shit. Normal Shit | A podcast by Kelsey Barberio and Olivia Lagaly

From The Swan documentary and its absolutely wild behind-the-scenes details to Kim Kardashian’s aggressive multi-nanny system, Khloé Kardashian’s double-king bed, the Pillowfight Championship, the death of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's boyfriend, and Breaking Bad being named the #1 show of the 21st century, we’re unpacking the pop culture stories that we can't stop talking about. Plus, our thoughts on Verity, dogs' new favorite show Sealook, the return of Special Forces and Dancing With the Stars, and our September favorites, including Louboutin flats and an addiction to bidding on Free People jackets on TikTok Shop. Come for the celebrity/pop culture chat, stay for the extremely important question: who decided competitive pillow fighting should be a professional sport?

We’re officially at the age where we’re supposed to have our shit together… so naturally, we went way too hard at our friend Tori’s wedding welcome party in Atlanta and ended up at the Claremont Lounge watching a Dolly Parton “9 to 5” performance, women catching dollar bills in a thong, and a rather strategically placed Solo cup, all while embracing some truly inspiring body positivity.Then we get into all the things we thought we’d be doing (or would have stopped doing) by 30. We thought we’d be married. Ready to have kids. Eating dinner at a real table every night. Keeping up with trends. Instead, we’re eating frozen meals, making mac and cheese at least once a week, still sleeping with our blankies and stuffed animals, and realizing we might not care what the younger generations are talking about anymore.Plus, we (importantly) discuss our current obsession with Adéla’s new song “Nicole Kidman”.Normal Shit | A podcast by Kelsey Barberio and Olivia Lagaly

Olivia is engaged! After all this time! (9 years) In this episode of Normal Shit, we’re getting into the engagement, how it all went down, the surprises that absolutely did not go according to plan, and some of the funniest stories from along the way. A very special episode about love, friendship, overthinking, anxiety, and the fact that nothing ever goes exactly as planned. Normal Shit | A podcast by Kelsey Barberio & Olivia Lagaly

This week on Normal Shit, Kelsey is officially one week into being laid off, and we're talking about the weird emotional roller coaster of losing a job, figuring out who you are outside of work, and what might come next. From freelancing and the future of traditional media to whether everyone on TikTok is now a journalist, we get into what it means to build a career in an industry that's changing FAST. Then things get significantly less serious: Kelsey somehow broke her oven, nearly broke her dishwasher, and walked into a shower covered in mysterious brown sludge. We also get into Olivia's experience with Botox, SkinVive, microblading, the eternal question of how much is too much, and whether it's actually okay to have forehead lines. Plus: our August favorites, including books, shows (Sterling Point, Monsters of God), beauty products (It Cosmetics CC Cream, Kosas Brow Gel & Nano Brow Pop), self-tanner (Jergens mousse), Dunkin' Refreshers, Gilmore Girls pajamas, workout hacks, and the products that are making our lives just a little bit better.

**SPOILERS for the entire Married at First Sight Season 20 season, finale, and reunion, obviously!** We made it to Decision Day… and the drama really lived up to our expectations. On this episode of Normal Shit, we’re breaking down the Season 20 finale, Decision Day decisions, and the reunion, including who stayed together, who absolutely should not have, the most shocking revelations, and all the moments that had us yelling at the screen. We’re talking marriages, messy breakups, reunion receipts, and our final verdicts on the couples of Season 20. Basically, we have a LOT to say.

How much should you actually spend on a wedding? We’re talking wedding regrets, what couples wish they spent more (and less) on, the rising popularity of elopements and smaller weddings, and whether spending tens of thousands of dollars on one day is really worth it. Plus, Olivia is potentially getting engaged soon, so we’re using real wedding experiences (including listener stories!) and some surprising statistics to figure out what kind of wedding she actually wants.

In this episode of Normal Shit, we're very much still recovering from the Hilary Duff concert (including the possibility that we caught the plague there). We recap the concert, the last-minute tickets, and why the whole experience felt like getting a little piece of our girlhood back. We also discuss why we desperately need more experiences that make us feel that kind of pure, nostalgic joy. Then we get into beauty and Botox: Olivia is headed to L.A. for a Botox, filler and skincare treatment and is VERY nervous about what might happen. Plus: reformed thoughts on House of Stassi , and why Married at First Sight might officially be beating Love Is Blind (& our thoughts on all of the couples).

This week, we’re taking a trip down memory lane. From crying at the Hilary Duff concert and reliving our Lizzie McGuire childhoods to uncovering old journals that absolutely needed to be burned. We’re revisiting the fashion choices that defined our college years (bubble necklaces, Chacos, giant sorority T-shirts and peak Tory Burch fashion), debating which brands deserve a comeback and sharing our latest documentary obsessions. Plus: Taylor Swift wedding conspiracy theories, a terrifying cruise ship disaster, and why we may never voluntarily set sail again (unless a cruise line wants to sponsor us, of course.) Normal Shit | A Podcast by Olivia Lagaly & Kelsey Barberio

Olivia shares what happened after her very first viral TikTok approached one million views, and why the experience wasn't nearly as glamorous as it looked. We discuss the emotional side of going viral, dealing with hate comments, body shaming, and whether chasing viral moments is actually worth it. We also break down the difference between influencers and UGC creators, how brands hire creators behind the scenes, and how you can make money creating content without needing a massive following. If you've ever thought about becoming a content creator, this episode gives an honest look at what the job is really like. Normal Shit | A Podcast by Olivia Lagaly & Kelsey Barberio
