No matter the planning and coordination, life always seems to throw in a splash of chaos. The true test is how you embrace the chaos, and how you laugh about it after. Two friends have decided to tell their stories and embrace the chaos via a podcast.
Nicole Johnston & Hope Paccione
Nicole and Hope decided they should test their general knowledge by taking a "Are You Smarter Then a Fifth Grader" style quiz. The results? They are scrapping by on the skin of their teeth. Listen along to hear the actual wheels turn in the two Chaos Gals heads while they try an answer some math, health and history related questions. As as added fun, this episode is a potpourri of random stories from Hope's recent bad day all the way back to the dawn of "Land Before Time." Play along and see if you are smarter than the Chaos Gals. We figure you probably are...
Some people spend as much time as they can connecting and being one with "the nature". Nicole tried once and has since cancelled her subscription to all future outdoor activities after a "white water rafting" excursion with some family turned into 7 hours spent in the first ring of hell. Thank god she survived to tell the story for the listeners enjoyment on this podcast.
Roses are Red Chaos is all around Hope hates this holiday And we still love Troy Bolton too! Ignore the fact that it doesn't rhyme. The girls senior skipped on poem day in 12th grade english. The dynamic duo of Choreographed Chaos talk all about all things love related; relationships, romantic gestures and horribly rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes. Grab a glass of wine or a whole bottle of whiskey and join Hope and Nicole for an evening of laughter and mispronunciations.
The Choreographed Chaos Gals are well rested (ehh, they've slept at least a few hours) and emotionally centered (haha...jokes) to start Season 2 of The Podcast. They hit the ground running in their usual scatterbrained forms while chatting about throwback children's books, their TV show pitch ideas and the natural high from bulk buying. They also take a moment to investigate what the Stars have written for them in 2021 through their astrological horoscopes. Mark your calendars, May 26th is gonna be a big one for Nicole.
The Choreographed Chaos Girls decided to take a much needed break before we officially start Season 2 of the podcast on February 4th, but we didn't want to leave you too long without a little dose of our special kind of chaotic energy. Prior to starting our break, we recorded this episode discussing holiday traditions, Nicole's greatest life accomplishment in an ornament, and our 2021 resolutions. Enjoy this holdover episode that we couldn't let go to waste while we reset and refresh for Season 2! **Special note from Nicole: So it turns out that the soup can ornament that I talk about A LOT in this episode, is in fact not the top of a soup can but the top of a juice concentrate container. Which means my whole life has been a lie or that I am dumb, probably a combination of both. **
After taking a short mid-season break, the Chaos girls are caught back up with this chatty episode. Take a listen while enjoying a glass of wine or a tub of ice cream while Hope and Nicole discuss Christmas cards, matching jammies and nose swabs. All the comforts of the 2020 Holiday Season!
Anybody can make a "top 10" list, but it's way more fun to make a "Worst 10" list. Nicole and Hope try their hands at a twist on the traditional ranking list by ranking their least favorite songs to ever hit the musical airwaves. The lists might just be filled with many "unpopular opinions". Find out what former boyband member Nicole can't stand since his solo career. And hear what dislike of Hope's caused Nicole to consider ending the podcast forever....
*Deep Narrator Voice* They were actually pretty darn far from fine. Nicole and Hope catch up with each other over a flurry of recent activity including election coverage and puppy costumes. Most of this episode is spent talking about a topic near and dear to both of the Chaos Ladies; mental health. As an opening discussion to future episodes, Hope and Nicole talk about their journey to understanding their mental health struggles and what challenges them each day in order to keep a mental balance.
Hope and Nicole love an evening spent with screaming youths holding a $15 vodka tonic listening to live music. In this harmonious episode, the Chaos Girls talk about their favorite concert memories, including their closeted love for One Direction. Don't worry, they aren't those zealous fans with t-shirts with Lewis', Neil's or that one that no one remembers faces on them....
One of the most enjoyable parts of making this podcast for Hope and Nicole is discovering what random topics they are unknowingly passionate about. In this episode, the Chaos Girls discovered another passionate subject; driving in DC. As well, the girls opened up about their spending addiction. Cause you have to start by admitting you have a problem. They list off some of the silliest, most ridiculous and bank account concerning purchases they have ever made.
How many unrelated topics can Hope and Nicole talk about in one podcast episode while using sub-par transitions? We are so glad you asked! This episode manages to include topics ranging from appropriate Powerpuff Girls' footware choices to Paris Hilton's hit movie House of Wax and doggie blue jeans to ridiculous uses of mouse traps for "academic purposes". Just when you think you can't imagine any more drops and loops on this roller coaster ride, the Chaos Ladies plummet into everything tattoos. Including their tattoo favorite, body ink dislikes and their experiences getting their first tattoos differing betweens Nicole's state of zen and Hope's horror over Nicole's mom reaction.
Nicole and Hope talk about the pressing issues facing American's everyday; sub-par holiday specific candy. As well, the ladies take some time to discuss an actually serious topic, voting. Not so much the politics side of Election day, but instead their experiences and beliefs when it comes to the powerful act of casting a ballot. Diving into their experiences at the polls, anxiety over the voting process and why they are passionate about participating in this years election.
Nicole and Hope decided to put their friendship to the test by cross examining each other with a self-made BFF Quiz. You know, everything besties should know about each other from favorite candy, to biggest fears, and dream concerts. Hope feels like she did a good job. Nicole feels that Hope doesn't even know herself at all. Spoiler Alert. Based on this quiz, they won't be investing in Best Friend necklaces from Claires in the near future. Please note: this episode is not sponsored by Palmetto Cheese.
Nicole is excited for this episode cause seven is her favorite number. She is also excited cause she tells the story of how she finally got to live out one of her life long dreams being a witness to a minor "crime". I guess everyone has to have goals, right?
The first recorded car accident in the USA happened in 1896 in New York City. The most ridiculous accident in automotive history happened to Hope in Spring 2017 on a county border in North Carolina. Episode #6 centers on the smattering of car accidents and fender benders Hope and Nicole have experience since passing Behind the Wheel. Trust us, this is an episode you don't want to "drive past".
Hope and Nicole have strong opinions about many things, especially their love of Jessica Simpson (cough, cough Nicole) and Little House on the Prairie (odd stares in Hope's direction). The Chaos Girls decided to dip their toes into the world of deeper topic discussions with a discussion about everything friendship.
What's better then a dynamic duo? A tremendous trio. In the fourth installment of Choreographed Chaos, (The Podcast), Hope and Nicole invited Doug, the funnier Paccione sibling (sorry Hope) to join the mayhem. Doug brought to the tables hilarious stories of working in minor league baseball and small town livin'. Hope used this time to force Doug to relive middle school traumas and ask about dating life. Ahh, sibling dynamics. Spoiler Alert: Sports Mascots have humans inside the costumes. Sorry to crush your reality.
Lions, and Tigers, and Bears. Oh my? More like a rouge armadillo and two animated bears from a 1960's cartoon. Sounds a bit random? Yep, accurately this episode is. Hope tells a few stories related to one of her favorite topics, the absolute hysterical nature of her job. Also in this podcast, in what rarely seems to be a normal linear conversation, Nicole and Hope also deviated to topics that include magical abilities of manifestations, organized childhood activities and overly washed t-shirts. #poundsymbol
....and third chances....and fifth chances..... Ever watch a Hallmark movie and wonder what would happen to the characters without the cheesy movie magic? Don't worry, Nicole has lived it and is willing to share all the boomeranging details of her first high school crush. This second episode of Choreographed Chaos (The Podcast) is jam packed with discussions of early hipster culture, ugly Christmas trees and Disney princesses. Don't worry if you're confused, those topics have nothing in common other then this podcast.
If we are gonna be real podcasters, we better do this right with a proper introduction. Choreographed Chaos (The Podcast) will be a weekly chat session between two friends. We are looking forward to sharing a bit of ourselves with you through stories and discussions.
