The Ripple Podcast

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: SongsThis 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.

We're back! After a year-long "creative sabbatical" (read: procrastination, laziness, life...), we're here to save your earholes from boredom. We're launching our new format with a little less true crime and a little less gore but with the same laughs, unfiltered comments, and sisterly hazing. Angela and Rosa are unwrapping some of Reddit's best (and worst) holiday stories, think a Hallmark movie gone wrong. Listen for the laughs, stay for the judgy remarks, and maybe subscribe and tell your friends so we don't disappear for another year.
