2 Dumb BellesEpisode 28_People are falling in love with ChatGPT...?Kate and Lindsay have a new obsession and that includes: learning ALL ABOUT people who have AI companions. And not just a chatbot "friend," but people who take these chatbots to the next level and things become VERY romantic. We're conflicted. On one hand, good for you. If this makes you happy and feel less alone, then who are WE to judge. On the other hand...when you say that you're in love and that you can't live without your AI partner, and you consider yourself a "robosexual" (look it up, it's a thing), then we don't k...2025-07-2042 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 27: Are You Using the Wiggle Jiggle? (...And other fitness trends!)Some fitness trends are better than others. Take, for example, the weighted vest. Show of hands: who has one?? Doesn't everyone? Also take, for example, the Oura ring. Show of hands: who has one?? And again: doesn't everyone?! In this week's episode, we're discussing a few popular fitness trends that people are doing right now, including those weird vibrating plates (which we refer to as the "wiggle jiggle"), the aforementioned weighted vests and Oura rings, and even trends in recovery such as ice baths and red light therapy. Which of these do we believe in? Which of these just...2025-07-0836 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 26: Summer. Is. A. LOT.We're all over the place this week, but in a fun way, we promise. Summer is a LOT. If you know, you know. We're feeling a little overwhelmed this week b/c we both have a ton going on (just like all of our listeners). We get a quick hello from everyone's favorite 2DB guest, Grover Smith! And we also touch on important topics like: Summer camps - can you call it a "camp" if it's only 90 minutes in length?!! Brain rot + kids with their iPads Lindsay making "drugs" with her 11 year old Work/life balance and the...2025-06-1737 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 25: Our Fave Places to Travel!Where are the BEST places you've ever traveled? What's on your bucket list? There are so many great places to go. Kate + Lindsay share they're favorite locations, as well as the places they REALLY wanna go, and a few places that everyone seems to want to go that we sorta DON'T wanna go to. We also touch on Lindsay's business idea of the Gay Man Snuggle Club (investors, please contact us directly).

2 Dumb BellesEpisode 24: We were so dumb in high schoolKids' brains aren't fully formed until they're in their mid- to late-20s. Kate and Lindsay's brains were certainly no exception. We did some really dumb stuff when we were in high school. But we can be forgiven, right?!? We had zero capacity for good judgement! Kate and Lindsay sit down to share some of the really stupid things they did as teenagers. From driving to Taco Bell in the middle of the night without headlights on (and subsequently getting pulled over in the process) to smoking cigarettes in the girls bathroom at a football game to...2025-05-2739 min

2 Dumb BellesEpisode 23: TV Shows, Fond Farewells, and WatermelonWe're a little all over the place this week, but in the best way. What TV shows do you love most? What do you watch when you're feeling stressed? Sort of like a "comfort" show? We have some thoughts on that. We also talk about friends, fruit, and we end with a pretty awesome joke. Why WOULDN'T you listen?!? Also, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty...three! Because we forgot to use that song lyric when we recorded episode 22. We let our big moment pass us by! Thanks so much to all o...2025-05-1334 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 22: The Grover Recap, Mother's Day, and the Grossest Story EVERWarning: Around minute 25, Lindsay starts to tell the grossest story you have ever heard in your life - so if you're squeamish or don't do well with yucky stuff, turn this off as SOON as you hear her mention it. Lindsay has a stomach of STEEL and she listened to the story while out walking her dog and had to sit down in someone's yard because she thought she was going to barf. So there you go. But in other MUCH MORE FUN news, Kate reviews the interview with Grover (were his stories accurate?!?) and we discuss M...2025-05-0738 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 21: Our FIRST GUEST is none other than...Dumb Belles! We have the BEST GUEST in the studio (can we call it a studio?!?) today! It's none other than...drum roll...Lindsay's brother from another mother...Kate's "Man Candy"...GROVER SMITH! We've brought in our favorite "BEAU" Flex - Kate's husband! And he's here to spill the tea and share the HOT GOSS! Listen to Grover *CRUSH* the Newlywed Game, learn all about his Army career, and find out how he met Kate and how he was (and STILL IS) enamoured by her. It's the cutest conversation to date. You'll love it and you'll say "...2025-04-2840 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 20: Our Summer Bucket Lists!Summer will be here in NO TIME! What fun stuff do you have planned? We have a few things we'll be doing over the summer and we're sharing our "bucket list" with you. Because Summer rolls in so fast and then LEAVES us just as quickly, now is a good time to start making plans! Unless, of course, your only goal is to survive working + momming (and the 17 million things that go along with both of those things) during the summer months; we totally get that, too! Like the pod? Please give us five stars, and please s...2025-04-2233 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 19: Ladies! Tips for Nutrition + Maintaining Muscle MassLadies, your favorite dumb belles have some KILLER nutrition tips for you today. For those of us, um, at a "certain age," maybe we're finding it challenging to keep the muscle mass that we used to have. Or maybe high cortisol levels are causing us to keep unwanted fluff around our tummies. Or maybe we just don't know what to do when it comes to consuming enough protein. And what about preventing blood sugar spikes? And supplements - are any of them worth it? Give us a listen and maybe you'll take away some helpful information to k...2025-04-1535 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 18: Broken Bones + Other Dumb AccidentsThree words: Piggly Ding Dong. Listen to the episode to understand. Also - broken bones, sprains, and other injuries! How many surgeries have we had?!? How many things have we broken? How did we not spiral during our injuries, and what did we do to stay active during recovery? Did we rest like we were supposed to? It's the hardest thing to do (that, and healthfully asking for help). Also: Kate and Lindsay will be joining the Great Midwestern Pilgrimage to warmer climates during Spring Break, so we'll miss you the week of April 7th! We'll see y...2025-03-3040 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 17: Ghosts! UFOs!

Do you believe in ghosts/paranormal stuff? Find out if we do, and listen as we share a couple of stories that freaked us out. And we recorded our episode this week! You can find us on YouTube! We've been meaning to do this forever and we finally got around to it. So you can watch us in action. ;) As always, tha...2025-03-2332 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 16: It's SUNBLOCK O'CLOCK!Hey there Dumbbelles! Kate had skin cancer - find out how she discovered it, how she handled this health scare, how she resolved it, what her doctor and dermatologist did, and how she's doing now. Lots of you listening probably used a tanning bed when you were younger - remember the Playboy bunny stickers? (Insert huge eye roll). It's so important to take care of your skin and get things checked out. Spring Break is coming quick - be sun-smart and wear the sunblock! We'll also share a couple of our favorites: Lindsay's p...2025-03-2031 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 15 - Hormone Replacement TherapyIt's a one-woman show today! Kate has been traveling for work, and has selfishly left me all by myself, so I'm telling all about how I recently (just in the past few weeks) started hormone replacement therapy and it has literally CHANGED MY LIFE. I am NOT saying that you should do this if you're having perimenopause symptoms; everyone is different and for some of you, the risks may not outweigh the benefits, and you might choose to manage your symptoms in a much different way than I've chosen. But I wanted to share my story because I didn't...2025-03-1125 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 14: BOOK CLUB TIME!Hi Dumbbelles! The news is HEAVY right now. So tune in for something light and fun! Find out what we're reading, and learn what books made it to our "best books of all time" list. We'll give a quick review of some of our favorites ("quick review" because neither of us can remember much once we're done!) and maybe some of these will make it to your "must read" list. Or maybe you've already read a few of these! We'd love to know, so reach us on social media and tell us what you're reading and what...2025-02-2536 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 13: Cleaning and DeathHi there Dumb Belles! How clean is your home? There's a lot of discussion about "toxic" ingredients in our environment: candles, plug-ins, detergents, fabric softeners, and more. How can you make your home more "green?" We're discussing ways that we're improving our environment and trying our best to not poison our families and all of our visitors. Which leads us to...dying! All these toxic household ingredients will kill us in the end, but maybe we can find ways to put the FUN in a FUNeral! Special shout out to Beans Candle Company an...2025-02-1939 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 12: Galentine's Day!Hey there Dumb Belles! Today we're talking about all things Valentine's (well, GAL-entine's) Day! We're also discussing ways to keep our heads above water when it's COLD AND DARK AND BLAH in the great Midwest in February. Gross. We just want to be warm and see some sunshine!

2 Dumb BellesEpisode 11: We're In Our IDGAF EraHey dumbbelles! We feel like we've entered our "I don't give a %&#" era. Life is WAY TOO SHORT to care what people think, what they say, or what their opinion is. It's taken us both a long time to get to the place where we're unbothered by others. If you listen to the Mel Robbins podcast (she's amazing, by the way, you should really listen), she speaks about something she calls the "let them" theory. And we're here for it! :) Thank you for listening and as always, we'd love it if you would like and...2025-02-0536 min

2 Dumb BellesEpisode 8: Kate's Weight Loss JourneySettle in, Dumbbelles, this is a good one. Kate decided last year to begin a weight loss regimine that included a GLP-1 (a popular weight loss medication) and we decided to do a little interview with her about all the things that she experienced while taking this medication. Plus: how long did she take it? Is she still taking it? How much did she lose? What was the cost? And plenty more details, too. Please note that we are not suggesting or promoting use of this medication as a weight loss tool; this interview is j...2025-01-1552 min

2 Dumb BellesEpisode 4: Boobs and BotoxHappy December, Dumbbelles! Today we're talking about all things aging: how our boobies change and our bodies change, along with our skin, our hair, and even our hands (start moisturizing IMMEDIATELY)!

Or, what are some things that turned out to be completely terrible? We'd love to hear about it! Email us a...2024-11-2631 min
2 Dumb BellesEpisode 2: Our Workouts, Then & NowWelcome back, Dumbbelles! This week we're talking a little about Kate's most recent 1/2 marathon and how she CRUSHED IT, as well as the way we used to work out vs. what we do now, and how our perception on fitness has changed and evolved as we've gotten older. More rest days, more weights, and stopping when something hurts (what a NOVEL idea). Whether you're brand-new to working out or you've been a life-long exerciser, you'll find this one interesting.
