Filterless Females

We all know self care is important, especially when life is so crazy and busy all the time. Do you ever feel like taking time for you is so forced that you don't actually enjoy it? This weekend Fick and Foust returned to the theater for a new season, which kicked off with Mrs. Doubtfire. Tune in this week as share our thoughts on the performance and much needed R&R.

We're both recovering this week from our own body cleanses. What this week taught us was take care of yourself. Easier said than done (trust us we know!), and unfortunately sometimes our body goes to extreme measures to tell us to slow down. How are you going to take care of yourself this week?

As we mark the official, unofficial end of summer we are looking back at how weird this summer actually was and how we made the best of un-summer. What were your favorite memories? And if you find this episode ends abruptly that just means the universe had other plans to keep us truly Filterless. Happy fall y'all!

It's always fundraising season for us, but we have a lot of meaningful events coming up that support so many things near and dear to our hearts. Learn more about our why's in this week's episode. Oh and F you pointy, prickly things!

It's another car show and we are frustrated. We're talking about what we do when every day seems to be one of those days, and our best coping strategies. F you frustration!

Some call it multi tasking, others excellent time management. In an effort to maximize our time and try out new ways to not hear Fick during an episode, we're recording from the road while dishing out our best and worst organization tips. Dining rooms and basements look out cuz we're coming for you!

We're getting real and honest this week (as if we never do) as we talk about how we can get so much support from so many places, yet none when we really need it. And a very special delivery…nope just kidding.

Is technology your friend or foe? This week if it's electric, it's not working. UNTIL we get just a little glimmer of luck and things work out. And if you have kids on summer break, you know electronics are a huge challenge for the next few months. Tune in next week to hear about how Vino was framed for murder.

We swear we weren't ghosting you. It's been a crazy few months for Fick and Foust but we're ready for a comeback that goes back to why we started. The last few months have been proof that no one can control the sh*t life throws at them, but somehow we make our way through it. This week we're talking about under or way over sharing on social media. Are things out of control or are we just out of the loop? And just how much is too much? Tune in and share your thoughts with us.

It's that time of year again! How often do you purge all the sh*t in your house? If we could have a dumpster and go throw away all the things we probably would. But instead we are sorting and scrubbing our way through our houses on this never ending journey to organize all the things. Join us as we discuss what we hate, love and mostly hate about the process.

What is something you hate, but have to do, and know nothing about? Pretty sure you said taxes, too. With just over a month to go before tax season ends, we're getting our paperwork in order. And to celebrate when we're done, we're going to Costco for reams of paper, sweatpants, mega muffins and an umbrella!

The last day of February is always Rare Disease Day because it is the rarest day of the year. For reasons very dear to us, we are raising awareness for the 300 million people around the world living with a rare disease.

In honor of Heart Health Month, we're talking about the things people don't want to bring up. Tune in for tips on staying heart healthy, warning signs and things that will make you say WTF?! Oh and Happy Valentine's Day!

Trivia Night sponsored by the month of January! We're testing our knowledge of the month of January from birthstones to historical facts. And great news for our dry January peeps - it's almost February!

Our first weight loss challenge in about 2 years and we just don't know how to feel about it yet. We're already starting week 3, doing homework and setting goals to keep us going. But, just as everything lately, it's hard! What goals have you set recently?

It's a no secret that the Buffalo community has been slammed with so much the last few weeks on top of what was a rough 2022. But it's also important to recognize how what happens to your community can trigger personal traumas and emotions. Here's to hoping things turnaround for everyone (after the full moon of course)!

Eating too much or not enough. Too many snacks without enough “real” food. Life can get hectic but we're taking time to reflect and remember to slow down and take care of ourselves.

This episode was all about our awesome thanksgiving and time with family… until the holidays crept up on us. And oh Reg! Get ready cuz it's that time of year! We hope you can find some time to spend with the people you love and appreciate whatever this season means to you.

This week we're reviewing Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. What we thought of “our Tina's” and of course what's new in theater etiquette. Good news, no one got puked on! Happy Turkey day! We'll be back in a few weeks.

Raise your hand if you're overwhelmed by life right now. We are all doing all things at a rapid pace, and most days it feels like we didn't train for this marathon at all! Listen in for all the feels we're having right now, and the ones we just cannot explain.

Join us this week for tales of dreamy visits, signs and messages sent to us from lost loved ones. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, there's no doubting these connections we have made.

Whether you know it at Emotional Well Being, Mental Health Awareness or National Applejack Month (

A new theater season kicked off for us and we're talking about The Prom, and murder mysteries, and cold season, and bad drivers, and food. Basically we've got it all!

We're back but still a hot mess. Hot aboard for an update on where we've been the last 5 million years since our last show and what to look forward to in upcoming weeks.

Meal planning sucks. Yeah we said it. We know we need to do it and sometimes it's amazing, but most times it doesn't work. To make a hard task even harder, we now have the added challenge of increasing grocery costs and shortages of things we used to buy. So while we know how we should eat, we're more and more restricted to just what we can afford which isn't always the best choice. What are your best meal planning tips? We could use all the help we can get. TikTok videos need not apply due to their awesome yet impractical content.

It's been a day, a week, a month, a life! We have a lot to unpack in our little bit of time together this week. Like with so much focus on gender and sexuality we are still missing out on those who are otherwise abled. Disabilities are known, yet not discussed or accepted as other human rights and issues. It's 2022, and the lack of awareness and acceptance is simply unacceptable.

Looking for a non-touristy staycation or hosting out of town guests? We just had a whirlwind amazing weekend with friends and did sooooo much in just a few days. Family-friendly or just adults. Tune in for the all the places we went in a jam packed weekend and share your favorite local spots with us!

Tomorrow may be the first day of summer but we're already talking about what we did on vacation! Travel tips and experiences from planning a getaway this summer to actually going. What to expect. When things go wrong. And why is it all so expensive?

Our last theater review of the season. And it was AMAZING (cuz who doesn't love The Temptations?!). Highly recommend. We also recommend a few theater pointers before next season.

Mental Health Awareness month continues with a much needed discussion about anxiety vs. depression, and what does happen when you spend way too much time just going through the motions. And all those “what ifs?” that could change everything. Also seeking help from someone who can explain monster trucks to Foust.

We're kicking off Mental Health Awareness month with one of our closest friends, Anxiety. What's the difference between feeling anxious and an anxiety disorder? Our go to coping strategies. Building awareness and seeking help. Anxiety looks different for everyone, which means what works is different for everyone. When in doubt, phone a friend and ask for help. Take care. And don't forget to celebrate your mamas!

This week we're reviewing the musical Anastasia, while others need to review their theater etiquette. And with so much going on we almost forgot it was our anniversary! We share our favorite moments from the last two years. Thanks for joining us on this wild ride. Cheers to even more adventures together in the years to come!

Ready or not it's Easter time. This week we're preparing for brunch, dinner, egg hunts, egg dye, Peep pancakes and houses. Despite stresses life throws at us all the time, we're ready to enjoy time with family and friends.

Another theater review coming your way. And it was sooooo good! Join us for our recap of To Kill a Mockingbird, solving shipping issues and skin care concerns.

If you've been through it, you know the grief never actually goes away. But the way you handle it changes over time. This week we take deep dive into how we've evolved over the years after major losses. What's changed? What never will? How are we keeping memories alive?

We circled around the topic but it all had one main theme: everything is overpriced and impossible to find. Fick has loads of tips for a new frugal, organized system to sorta help but groceries still cost way too much and there appears to be a massive demand for cauliflower rice. Foust is offering free lessons in how to make left hand turns to help save your car from a very expensive accident.

It's about time we can talk about a good musical! We're discussing My Fair Lady the musical and lots of other things this week. And Foust needs all the tips you can share about ingrown hairs. Meanwhile, Fick hates spring.

We're due for another episode of all those things that really tick off all of us. Broken heat. Responsible eaters. Taxes. Roombas. What's on your list these days?

Another night at the theater and we aren't really sure what that was. Pro tip: If you're planning on seeing a classic musical and hear the word “reimagined” just turn around and run away. This one was so bad. Sorry, not sorry for this review.

This week we're throwing it back to one of our favorite episodes from season 1. And a very fitting one after this week's amazing halftime show! Enjoy the life lessons.

This is a gonna be one SUPER bowl, but not cuz of the teams playing. We've been pumped about this halftime show since the day it was announced. To celebrate we are talking life lessons inspired by these great artists. So go Rams. Go Bengals. We're rooting for the greats. So PLEASE can someone just give the Dogg a Grammy????

This is not a resolution, it's life. We don't know wtf happened but it's February and we're still trying to find our way. And we need new workout ideas so send them our way.

As we approach two years since this pandemic started, we're highlighting how it has affected us from the beginning to now. And how the constant change of rules leads to confusion and how it's affecting our kids. What happens when you follow all the rules and then the rules change? We're all suffering for different reasons and we need to learn to get along cuz this sh*t isn't going away.

Remember the olden days of social media with play-by-play updates of what you were doing and connecting with long lost relatives? What happened to playful jokes, kindness, posting on walls? This week we're talking about changes in social media platforms, how much it's changed since we started using it and those adorable puppy reels!

Happy new year! Fick and Foust rang in the year on very different ways. So we have to ask, are you a Fick or a Foust? This year we're not making any promises or resolutions, but hopeful for better days ahead. Plus, tips on how to get an 8-year-old to try the ham! Cheers to 2022!

And a very happy holiday! It's our last episode of the season already! We're feeling as rushed as literally everyone else in the world. But whether you're ready or not, the holidays are coming. We're looking forward to a new year and our goals too. Like reading more and learning more about things like Parkour and the true meaning of communism. Have a happy, healthy and safe holiday (total mom talk)! We'll see you in 2022!

Remember WTH we're supposed to be doing. And what day is it actually? Amazing that anything gets done when it's supposed to be done especially in the chaos we call life. Happy holidays!

This week we're talking about Pretty Woman the musical and all of life's randomness. But what we really want to know is have anyone ever actually used an entire chapstick?

Even in the chaos, we're so thankful for our holiday weekend and all the memories. Just remember broken phones, getting towed out of ditches and witch hunts are all part of the adventure.

We may not be looking for our lost shakers of salt, but we're definitely ready for some R&R! This week we're talking theater and our reviews of Escape to Margaritaville. Happy thanksgiving! We're thankful for all of you.

We celebrated our first Friendsgiving and this is definitely going to happen again! Listen to us dish out all our favorite things about Thanksgiving, what we're grateful for and that Alexa did now! Beware! Halloween might be over but this was one mean trick.
