Chickens Are The New Kittens

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, Beth is flying solo, so it might be boring… unless you’re into video games (then it’s probably not). She shares her favorite games, from consoles to phone apps—because yes, mobile games count! Beth talks about how gaming has become a surprising way her family connects, from epic on-screen adventures to competitive board game nights. You’ll hear about the laughs, the rivalries, and th...

Not just a T-Swift song. A whole vibe. After a week hiatus due to a family tragedy in Chelsey’s family, in this episode Beth and Chelsey allow themselves full permission to soak in their feelings and unapologetically air out all the things they are currently hating. Everything from minor inconveniences to full-blown existential irritations. No silver linings, no growth mindset, just vibes (salty ones). Along the way, they go off on...

In this episode, Beth dives headfirst into the emotional deep end after her therapist suggests she explore what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Spoiler: it’s not just about crying during sad movies—though Beth does cry at movie trailers, opening credits, commercials, and sometimes even random songs. She talks about what it’s like to walk into a room and instantly pick up on the vibe, how overstimulation sneaks in wh...

This week on Chickens Are The New Kittens, we’re building dating profiles for the real stars of our lives; our 6 chaotic chickens (including the loudmouths, the bullies, and the sweet baby nuggets), our 4 cats (ranging from emotionally unavailable to aggressively affectionate), and our stinky-but-stunning dog. We don’t stop there; Beth gets a profile too, complete with her 70-something-year-old soul trapped in a sweaty, overbooked ...

After a sun-soaked Fourth of July left us dehydrated, delirious, yawning, and slightly feral, we dive headfirst into the most ridiculous round of “Would You Rather” yet. Would you rather sweat maple syrup or have spaghetti for hair? Be trailed by a full marching band or give an unsolicited speech at a stranger’s wedding? Have fries for fingers? Maybe live with a mime for a year? Wear matching best friend outfits… forever? Yeah. It’...

Chelsey loves Disney fairy tales, who doesn’t! Singing mermaids, swoony princes, and sparkly happy endings. Beth is here to ruin all of that. This episode, Chelsey gushes about her favorite stories while Beth drops the dark, twisted, occasionally horrifying origins behind them. Think Sleeping Beauty’s non-consensual nap and awakening, Ariel dissolving into sea foam (or does she?), and a stepmom pining for more than one of Snow Whit...

What if your dream job landed in your lap—would you actually take it? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the ultimate “What If” spiral, asking the big questions like: What if we met 10 years ago… or never met at all? We explore how our lives could’ve twisted and turned through choices we made—and the ones made for us. From sliding doors moments to parallel universe versions of ourselves, it gets deep, hilarious, and a little u...

In this episode, Chelsey and Beth put on their lab coats and play Dr. Frankenstein, building the perfect man from the ground up! Faces, voices, ideal traits and a lot of laughter. From emotional intelligence and deep conversations to ultimate green flags and annoying but hot habits, we piece together the ultimate partner. While we agree on many must-haves, a few qualities (like love languages or morning energy levels) reveal some h...

In this special birthday episode, we celebrate Chelsey turning 35 with a rapid-fire round of questions about her favorite foods (spoiler: dessert is the main course), ideal days off, and a few juicy secrets. Over Mexican food and laughter, we cover everything from upcoming goals to dream days off—and yes, she does dodge a couple questions with her signature sass. It’s a light, upbeat ride full of giggles, unexpected answers, and lo...

In this upside-down episode of the Chicken Are The New Kittens, we dive headfirst into Stranger Things Monopoly — and things get weird and aggressive. Chelsey channels her inner Eleven and absolutely dominates the board, while Beth watches her properties vanish faster than Barb at a pool party. Chickens cluck, kittens meow, Beth and Chelsey snack (as usual), and Shamus spirals into sore-loser territory worthy of a Vecna-level tantr...

This week, we play a round (okay, many rounds) of FMK and it gets silly in the best way. From swoon-worthy celebs and comfort food classics to cursed internet trends and questionable life choices, nothing is safe. We laugh a lot, get mildly disturbed, and even shock ourselves with some of our picks. Sometimes we’re totally in sync, and other times we’re side-eyeing each other like, you seriously chose THAT? There’s nostalgia, chaos...

Happy 25th episode folks!!!

In this awkward episode we’re battling a weird echo in our mics, but much like our dignity, we refuse to let it go quietly. Armed with our best “sexy” voices (which mostly just sound tired and mildly unwell), we take turns whispering famous taglines from toys and snacks while the other tries to guess the product. It’s inappropriate in the weirdest possible ways; think seductive Hot Wheels and sultry Goldf...

In this episode, we let Buzzfeed tackle life’s most pressing questions—like what your dessert choices say about your pet count, and which personality trait is secretly running the show. We dove headfirst into a pile of delightfully unscientific quizzes, from spotting our red flags to rating our emotional availability, and the results were as hilarious as they were a little too real. Between the laughs, we stumbled into some unexpec...

In this episode of Chickens Are the New Kittens, we dive into the messy world of internet morality with “Fowl Behavior - AITA”. We take turns reading four Am I the A**hole? stories and put on our judgment hats to figure out who’s being reasonable and who’s just being a petty jerk. Some situations are hilariously amazing, others hit a little deeper, and a couple might just leave you shouting at your headphones in irritation. We talk...

In this episode, we put our friendship to the ultimate test with a game of “Friend Jeopardy”! With categories that cover our interests, goals, and more, we quiz each other on the little (and not-so-little) details that make us who we are. Do we really pay attention when the other person talks about their dreams? Can we remember the quirky facts from years of inside jokes and life updates? Does one of us not understand how jeopardy ...

In this episode, we’re diving beak-first into backyard bounty! We’re sharing our favorite tips, tricks, and home hacks for making the most of your garden goodies and farm-fresh eggs.

From clever ways to preserve leftover herbs, fruits, and veggies, to how we repurpose garden scraps as treats for Beth’s feathered friends, it’s all about reducing waste and enjoying the fruits of our labor. We’ll also crack into creative uses for all ...

Get ready to laugh until you cry as we chew on jelly beans and explore the wildly inappropriate world of Horrible Therapist. In this episode, we play the game for the first time—and let’s just say, the card combos were absolutely unhinged. Between awkward innuendos, disturbingly perfect matches, and moments that had us doubled over in laughter, we barely made it through with our sanity intact, and underwear tinkle free.

This game is...

In this episode, we scroll back through years of old text messages and DMs and try to guess which one of us said what—and wow, what a journey. From heartfelt check-ins to completely unfiltered rants about zits, poop, and farts, it’s a ridiculous and unexpectedly sweet trip down memory lane. We laughed (a lot), cringed (more than we’d like to admit), and were reminded of just how much life we’ve navigated together—one weird text at ...

In this episode, we take a hilarious deep dive into the black hole that is our video feeds. One minute, we're watching a simple workout tutorial, and the next, we’re knee-deep in dancing maids, lesbians with carabiners, and homesteaders raising chickens or fighting off emus. How does this happen?!

We break down the magic (or madness) of the algorithm, laugh at the absolute randomness of our pages, and question if our phones know us...
