43 - Just thought we were sharing
October 09, 2019 13:33 - 52 minutes - 36 MBIf you’ve ever traveled, you know there are some innate pet peeves, basically anything relating to the airport is fair game for being shitty. Now, when you travel with 11 people, there are some unforeseen pet peeves that arise when you finally get to your destination. Listen in for Michael to give you the full rundown - spoilers, they involve traffic, jack in the box, being an early rise and having your stuff stolen. We also get into pet peeves that bother us on a day to day basis like apple...
42 - Shit has happened
October 01, 2019 13:37 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MBWe took a two week hiatus because, shit has happened. I mean, c’mon, there is a white claw shortage. How do you expect us to function in these trying times?! Aside from that we had to deal with ghosts, long work days and neighbors who just don’t get it. We know its been a while so fill up your cup and drink along with us as we get back in the swing of things! Timestamps below for sidebar nation! Shower Beer: 2:19 - Song association Pregame Pet Peeves: 11:14 - 12 hour days 14:07 - Moll...
41 - Always good for the booze
September 13, 2019 13:33 - 52 minutes - 35.7 MBThis week we aren’t feeling great, because we realize we’re getting old as shit and have no idea how the f*** new social media platforms work. We also have stomach aches, but thats beside the point. As per use, we hit up all our pet peeves of the week and if you’ve ever tried your hand at Sandra Bullocks impressive glass playing talent from miss congeniality, you know that music is definitely added in later because it is incredibly difficult. Just ask michael and his 5 boxes of wine glasses....
40 - That’s to his deficit
September 03, 2019 09:00 - 52 minutes - 35.6 MBHave you ever tried to get around Denver? Spoilers everything is somehow 20 minutes away. No matter how seemingly close or far away, it will take the full 20 minutes to commute. Now, if you thought trying to commute in Denver was a pain, wait until you hear about the struggle that occurs when attempting to catch the LifeTime shuttle. If you know who drives that thing around, help hook us up because clearly nothing attempted thus far has worked out. Timestamps below for sidebar nation! Show...
39 - Meat Sacks
August 28, 2019 09:00 - 43 minutes - 29.4 MBWe start off this weeks episode with a classic red flag or deal breaker game and spoilers! calling someones boobs jiggly gobs or pudding nipples IS a deal breaker. If you’ve never had to deal with manicures, just know you’re lucky that you’ve never had to deal with the wrath of gel nails. If you have had to deal with them, pour yourself a stiff drink and commiserate with us. We talk about how the hell we’re going to get grannies recipes and why Wendy Williams is simultaneously the very worst...
38 - Not Eva Longoria
August 21, 2019 04:20 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBWe start off the episode with a shower beer that proves it’s a miracle we made it through elementary school. Molly goes on a rant about all things driving related. Essentially, if you have ever driven somewhere, chances are you have probably pissed her off. Fun fact, you should really only be going the speed limit if there is a cop nearby - so approximately 99% of the time we should all be speeding. Michael talks about the disasters that drink mountain dew, which quite frankly, we forgot was...
37 - We’ve sobered up
August 14, 2019 10:00 - 47 minutes - 30.2 MBAs promised, here’s part 2 with Claire! We stay sober this episode. If you listened to last week, you’ll know why. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t drink while enjoying this episode! (Rex was a monster while recording, so go ahead and drink whenever you hear the sassy pup.) While we’re on the topic of Rex, we finally discuss his bad reaction to flea and tick meds. This snowballs into a discussion of why humans should have their own form of bed bug repellant when traveling. Oh BTW, be...
36 - And then you swallow
August 06, 2019 12:08 - 1 hour - 47 MBThis week we have our great friend and roommate on the pod! We welcome Claire with a shot and don’t stop taking them this whole episode. Listen up sidebar nation, because we’re about to take you on a journey you were not ready for. Instead of giving you a summary, we’re giving you a drinking game to get as lit up as us. Rules are as follows: Take a sip - whenever you hear Rex’s collar or we go off on a tangent. Take a shot - whenever we take a shot. Finish your drink - when Michael and Molly...
35 - The catch up episode
August 01, 2019 13:11 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MBIf you read the title, you know it’s the catch up episode! We’re short on time, but have all the pet peeves so we jump straight into all our pet peeves of the week. If you’ve walked into the office and realized you’re going to need a full weekend bender to drown out how terrible your day is going to be, wanted to avoid everyone at the gym who won’t stop talking to themselves or had to put mind over matter one too many times this week to survive the day, we have you covered this episode. Time...
34 - Children should be neither seen, nor heard
July 24, 2019 09:00 - 53 minutes - 36.1 MBWe start this week deciding if shark tank products are worth spending our money on or if we should just buy another round of drinks at the bar instead. We then snowball into all the awful things people do that incite us to drink. Such as, people with babies at theaters… LATE AT NIGHT. We’re not being dramatic. It was 11:30 pm. People who invented human shock collars and then of course, the people that actually use them. A therapist who thinks sexual assault and diets are equally awful. And f...
33 - Milky Vodka Soda
July 16, 2019 13:57 - 55 minutes - 38.7 MBLets just start this week off by saying mannequins are the worst creation of all time. Anyone who says otherwise is probably a sociopath. 'Speaking of mannequins', sex dolls also come up this week and if you agreed that mannequins are f***ing awful, just wait until you hear what we have to say about the dolls! We also touch on small town coffee shops and their old schools methods, terrible phrases and why trying to find more than one eScooter causes us to drink. Timestamps below for sidebar ...
32 - customerservice
July 02, 2019 15:13 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBIt’s officially summer and that means cabin season is upon us, which subsequently means we have all of the nature pet peeves. If you enjoy the outdoors (and rodents) you can skip this episode because we have nothing nice to say about nature this week. Basically, all ticks need to die, mosquitos need to not touch us and mice need to be more afraid of humans and back the f*** off. We also realize that no matter how sweet little kids seem, they might be better fighters than half of the people w...
31 - Shockingly busy no messages
June 25, 2019 13:53 - 1 hour - 48.2 MBOur favorite PA, Isaac Waalen, is on this weeks episode to tell us what health trends are worth your time and what ones are pyramid schemes by instagram influencers. Things get real when we start tearing up this weeks pet peeves! Let us sum it up for you: Never tell a busy person, they aren’t that busy. Maybe don’t send a ‘wish you were here’ text to someone living across the country and very clearly cannot attend your party. And last but not least, don’t let video games be the reason you’re...
30 - Take your shirt off!
June 19, 2019 00:42 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBThis weeks episode is all about people not following social norms and how they make everyone they come in contact with uncomfortable. You’re over the age of 21 and sober mouth kissing your date in the middle of a restaurant? No, no, no. That’s not ok. Know what else isn’t ok? Writing a Facebook post for your 17 friends to see in an attempt to draw attention to yourself for something incredibly unimportant. Let us help you out, no one cares. We spill some tea on our favorite real housewives ...
29 - Triple George
June 11, 2019 11:39 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBIt’s pride month, so you better believe we have a pride themed shower beer! Get your cocktails ready to drink along! We also recently celebrated our college 5 year reunion and dive into some of our all time college pet peeves. If you’ve ever come to know the dangers of playing catch up, attempted to find parking at the U of M or found yourself making out with someone you really wish you never crossed paths with, this episode will bring back a flood of memories we hope to never have to relive...
28 - Still tastes like vodka
June 04, 2019 12:26 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBLast week we informed you of the ideal date timeline. This week we tell you how to avoid getting catfished by hot dudes in backwards hats. (Hear us out on this one. It will make sense, we promise.) So yeah, we basically give better dating advice than Chris Harrison. After we dole out the dating realness, we jump to more gender reveal pet peeves which can be summed up as, ‘if you can’t figure out how to open a box, should you really be pro-creating?’. Time stamps below for sidebar nation! S...
27 - Mother of dragons
May 28, 2019 12:14 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBCan we just say, what the f*** happened on game of thrones? We pass up a shower beer game to discuss what went wrong in the series finale. We share all the spoilers so skip ahead if you’re one of the few people who doesn’t care or hasn’t watched yet! Our weekly pet peeves can be summarized by, ‘what’s wrong with people?’ Basically, if you don’t pick up your dogs poop, don’t wear a sports bra to the gym or think having sex on a full stomach is a good idea, we have some earth shattering news f...
26 - She’s going to tip over
May 22, 2019 04:02 - 1 hour - 41.8 MBThis weeks episode is about Molly and Michael giving zero fu**s about everything. Oh, you don't approve of my complete diversion to someone, so you decided to scold me via DMs? Hmm. Don't care. Whoa, you hit a raccoon while trying to deliver a papa johns pizza?!? I don't care. You have eight brain cells left and forgot how two lane roads work?? Ok, we actually do care. You're going to kill someone. Go f*** yourself. Timestamps below for sidebar nation! Shower Beer 1:35 - Hot or no...
25 - Does it break when you touch it?
May 15, 2019 03:43 - 1 hour - 38.9 MBWe have a kick a** guest this week, David Geist, to help ignite some new perspectives on things that have always been true, but people don’t realize or like to admit readily. For instance, the amount of time it takes to prep for an event shouldn’t take longer than the event itself. A wedding should never have huge time gaps between the reception and the rehearsal, (but it should always have an open bar). Being overly cautious can be just as detrimental as being careless. And finally, Ikea fu...
24 - We're in the womp womps
May 08, 2019 04:14 - 59 minutes - 41.5 MBThis week we’re here to spill all the tea and fill you in on America’s biggest secret, which is, ‘Charleston really isn’t all that great’. That being said, we’re totally going to plan a trip there to gawk at all the human garbage. Don’t worry though if you’re a Charleston fan, we have other pet peeves for you this ep! Things like, If your actual birthday was a bit of a dud that made you feel ‘old’ and lame, we’ve got you covered. If you purchased a puppy and had forgotten how much of a pain ...
23 - Clearly intelligence is not a factor
April 30, 2019 13:28 - 55 minutes - 40.2 MBIf you ever wondered about DIY hacks for a polka dot wall, curling your hair or making a fidget spinner, we’re here to tell you they’re not worth it. This weeks episode is a series of DIY hacks and bloggers followed by issues we encounter on a day to day basis (like stickers on everything you’ve literally ever bought in your life) and things we hope to never have to deal with again (like your car getting towed). Timestamps for all of sidebar nation below! Shower Beer 3:42 - Home Hacks Pr...
22 - It’s like Botox
April 23, 2019 12:50 - 53 minutes - 37.1 MBIf you’ve ever needed vacation days to recover from your vacation, this episode is for you! We dive into the stressors of traveling and why all inclusive hotels are the best when drunk, but the absolute worst when it comes to maintaining a summer bod. The pod takes a severe left turn and when we cover behaviors your mom wouldn’t approve of! If you’ve never witnessed someone clipping their finger nails in public, smelled liquid ass in a stairwell or had a yippy chihuahua take a bunch of dumps...
21 - Me Against The Subaru’s. Let’s go!
April 16, 2019 13:00 - 56 minutes - 38.5 MBThis weeks episode revolves around people not doing their jobs - basically don't tell us you're going to do something and then not do it. Motor vehicles are also pet peeves this week because, motorcycles are back. Also, if there are any physics majors out there can you let us know how getting hit by a car works? We clearly haven't watched enough tv to have figured it out. Timestamps below for sidebar nation! Shower Beer Red Flag, Deal Breaker - 1:52 Pregame Pet Peeves 19:00 - Drinking i...
20 - Sprinkles are for cupcakes, not for toilets
April 09, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBThe time has finally come! We have our number one fan and friend, Val, as a guest on this weeks episode! We spill all the tea this week and while we have endless pet peeves, we also have some tips. For instance, you don’t need a dating app if you’re easy. And by easy, we mean confident. If you’re calling your glam squad to do you hair and makeup before going to the gym at 5 am, you’re the worst and you need to stop trying so hard. Oh, and most importantly, DON’T BE AN A**HOLE! Timestamps for...
19 - Y'all wanna cleanse?
April 02, 2019 03:27 - 1 hour - 44.8 MBKnow what is the worst? Waking up to a group of burly construction men outside your door. Or maybe its having a horrid hair day and your co-worker telling you that you look the same as usual. It might even be the never ending minute to minute basis that people suck at posting to social media. We'll let you decide what is actually the worst on this weeks episode! Timestamps for all of sidebar nation below. PS - we love sidebar nation to pizza luce and back. Shower Beer: 2:00 - Recast, Rene...
18 - I take it back, I'm not sorry
March 26, 2019 13:23 - 1 hour - 44.5 MBWe quickly come to realize all the annoying things happen in March. Endless heckling from girl scouts to buy mediocre cookies. (No, don't want to buy your girl scout cookies, Jessica!) There are never ending college basketball games and it's one of the few times a year we aren't blessed with that disaster tv show the Bachelor, or one of its many spin offs. You'll be hating March by the time you're done listening to this episode too. Timestamps for sidebar nation! Shower Beer: 3:20 - One ...

March 19, 2019 13:18 - 1 hour - 47.1 MBIf you participate in our weekly, drink-whenever-there's-a-siren game, get your shots poured! We recorded over St. Pattys weekend, which inevitably means there are cops rushing to drunk bar brawls every 10 minutes. This weeks episode is filled with things we wish we could do better, things we wish people would NEVER do and things that just shouldn't exist. We're talking to you, lady in the minivan covered with hot wheels decals! Shower Beer: 6:25 - Shoot, F*ck, Marry Pregame Pet Peeves: ...
16 - You're a slut pig
March 12, 2019 09:00 - 59 minutes - 41.5 MBWe were going to quote R.Kelly's Ignition to convey the fact that there is in fact a party progression, but he's gross. So I guess we will have to introduce you to our newest segment, Shower Beer, by simply telling you the only way to successfully start a pregame is to pregame the pregame with a shower beer. All our pet peeves this week really just boil down to people being are always worst. What else is new?! Timestamps for sidebar nation below! Shower Beer: 2:33 - Two truths and a lie ...
15 - Unicorn D*ck Tiara
March 06, 2019 15:39 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MBThis week we go over bar faux pas like sleeping at the bar, showing up overdressed because you're thirsty for attention and being the most drunk person in the bar... at 8pm... at dueling pianos... If you failed at school you can both commiserate with this episode while simultaneously making us want to pray as we go over why math makes diy projects overly difficult and people who can't spell need to stop posting long "inspirational" messages on their instagram.

14 - I just really want diet water today
February 26, 2019 10:00 - 59 minutes - 41.5 MBCase day is our olympics and we’re praying hard this episode to get a jump start on the day! We give you all our best tips for surviving a case race and why you need to train to be one of the few victors. The episode takes a bit of a turn when we jump into office pet peeves like rogue animals that security won’t help with, skyways closing and not knowing whether or not to say hi to people in the hallways.

13 - Love your hair. Hope you win.
February 20, 2019 01:08 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MBThese microcosmic things are a big f***ing deal to us on a day to day basis. If you have ever asked yourself, ’Why am I getting targeting by ads in Polish?’, ‘Can food challenges go away already?’ or ’Why are they so homophobic?’, you will be able to commiserate all episode. Pour yourself a drink and pray these problems away with us!

12 - My goal for 2019 is to start a plague
February 13, 2019 04:58 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBWe want to start a plague so don’t tell us we don’t have dreams, OK?! This week alcohol can’t seem to curb our grievances so we had to turn to darwinism. That’s right - sink or swim, b**ches. It’s been an especially rough week with “60 day challenges” commencing, people leaving their shopping carts strewn about parking lots due to cold weather and drunkenly having a come to Jesus moment in a bathroom stall where you think, “I may be too old to go to bars with bathrooms that are this gross.” ...
11 - Pay your respects with a shot, then go party
February 05, 2019 10:00 - 57 minutes - 39.9 MBLet's get ready to rumble!!! That's a football saying, right? Michael's face is basically healed and the pod is as current as it can get. The Super Bowl has Molly and Michaels attention this episode, and by the Super Bowl, we mean the halftime show. While they did survive the polar vortex, they almost succumbed to death during a seemingly easy DIY project.

We welcome Mara to the pod and tear up topics like fat pets, bad salads, breaking your boyfriends car and nicknames you didn't ask for. We realize we all have inadvertently played the least fun game ever now called, 'are they drunk or are they dead?'. Spoilers, there is a story for each scenario. Sidebar nation timestamps if you want to skip around the episode! Deliriously tired bosses: 11:45 Bad drivers: 23:00 Beer Cheeks: ...
9 - I need a pelvic exercise
January 22, 2019 10:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MBMolly and Michael are back at it this week to explain why being a kind person always bites you in the a**. Michael divulges on his meal prep guide for the next few weeks and Molly tells how she found out there is a proper way to hand off a urine sample. This episode covers the pet peeves encountered on a day to day basis and how it leads to our incessant need to pray.

8 - Trash? Trash? Trash.
January 15, 2019 10:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MBMolly and Michael are in a MOOD this episode. If you suffer from affected personality disorder, outstay your welcome or can't figure out how to properly schedule a meeting with co-workers, congratulate yourselves because you made this episode possible. You're also the reason we have a slight drinking problem. Sobriety is boring so take a shot every time we say, 'edit this out' or 'hundred percent'. We know true sidebar nation fans can handle the quantity, but we included timestamps in cas...
7 - Fix your face, then we'll go
January 08, 2019 15:30 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBThe holiday gym-goers need to go home, amirite? The constant strain of waiting for an empty bench press and set of 15 pound weights put Molly & Michael on high alert for pet peeves. This week, we dive deep into our psyche's to unearth why Molly always has a resting heart rate of 1000 when she drives, why Michael can't stop crying, and why both of us can't sleep.

January 01, 2019 22:51 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBIt's a new year and the anger levels have reached a new high! We have a special guest, Christa Troup, who joined us after a long night of drinking! This weeks pet peeves involve getting woken up with a punch to the face to how there will be a renaissance of arranged marriages thanks to millennial mothers on facebook essentially creating tinder profiles for their babies. Sorry friends, this episode really goes off the rails courtesy of 36 hours of drinking straight. Timestamps for all of sid...

We invited fellow Olympian and best friend, Samuel William, to come and discuss all the pet peeves from college, newlywed life, and everything in between.

Sidebar nation is in full force and this weeks biggest pet peeve is Molly's absurd church wine mixed drink. You'll also be introduced to our favorite vodka, Nikolai. (You need to trust us. This vodka is so fetch.) Why mouth breathing and braces aren't sexy, yet foot jobs somehow are a thing. You'll also hear our thoughts on different relationship styles and why some are more annoying than others. We st...

December 11, 2018 03:59 - 1 hour - 45.8 MBWe're back in episode two to take you on a journey involving a deceitful pharmacist, a number of laxatives and one very long train ride to poopsala - er, Uppsala. Our mistake. We touch on the irrational and yet, terrifying idea of getting murdered by someone carrying a ladder. (Yes, you read that right.) Why commercials in the midwest are truly the worst and how sometimes you just need to tell a stranger to, 'BACK UP'. We start this weeks pod commiserating over our shared fear of ge...

December 04, 2018 01:32 - 46 minutes - 49.7 MBMolly and Michael welcome you to our first episode of the pod! In order to truly understand why we are low-key alcoholics, you need to understand who we are. In this first episode, take a walk through memory lane with us as we unearth our first few minor grievances. From allergies that spread your eyes a part to 'the man' keeping offices too cold to function, nothing is safe from our drunken wrath. Also, yes we know the audio sucks. We fixed it for Episode 2. Hang in there. Th...
