    Theme: Domestic Chaos, Sean Diddy Combs Court Case Updates with Jay-Z allegations, Killer Kangaroos, AITA, Book Club Review!


    Welcome back to This Is My Circus — where the chaos is real, the animals are escaping, and the only peace you’ll get is in the bathroom with a burrito.

    This week, Stephanie and Meredith break down:

    • The latest Diddy courtroom chaos — another juror booted, leaks in the courtroom, and Secret Service Sam’s questionable switch-up.
    • The bizarre and unconfirmed Jay-Z paternity allegations and why he’s refusing a DNA test.
    • The real criminal? A kangaroo in South Carolina and a dead hammerhead shark dropping from the sky. (Sharknado is real.)
    • Plus: Fake food poisoning to escape the kids. Worth it? Totally.

    🐾 Animal Drama Rundown:

    • A wallaby loose in Tennessee
    • A kangaroo “murder?” in Myrtle Beach
    • An emu on the run
    • Zebra Ed now has a book deal
    • And a “baby shark” falling from the sky during disc golf

    📱 In Pop Culture + News:

    • Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (and why we can’t stand Whitney)
    • Converse ripped off a small designer, and we’re mad about it
    • Summer camp for women? Yes, please. But we want glamping, not Girl Scouts.

    📚 Book Chat: The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

    A swoony and laugh-out-loud rom-com that hit all the right notes. We LOVED it.

    ⭐️ Rating: 10/10
    💬 Enemies-to-lovers, seafood poisoning, fake honeymoon, real feelings.
    🧴 Heat level: One chili pepper (light sizzle, lots of feels)

    It’s the perfect palate cleanser after a string of intense reads — a must-read beach book if you love a slow burn with heart.

    🎙️ Segment Highlights:

    • “Am I the A-hole?”: A mom fakes food poisoning to eat a burrito alone in the bathroom. A true hero.
    • Why we both started new businesses (Refined Occasions & Honey Drop Media)
    • Our summer is chaos and we’re drowning in Garfield underwear and deodorant-level espresso hacks

    Run Time: 50 Mins

    Theme: Domestic Chaos, Sean Diddy Combs Court Case Updates, Trump VS Must, Crazy animal antics, AITA, Book Club Review!

    Welcome back to This Is My Circus — the podcast where parenting is chaotic, pets are weird, and the true crime tea is scalding hot.

    This week, we’re raising butterflies (sort of), rescuing frogs who refuse to stay rescued, fixing toilets like certified DIY queens, and confessing to powdering our boobs in a heatwave. Nothing is off-limits in this household.

    We’re also diving into the messiest headlines:

    • Simone Biles vs. Riley Gaines: The Olympic icon claps back, but fans aren’t having it — and her old tweets aren’t helping either.
    • Diddy’s Trial Gets Weirder: Is he mouthing threats in court? Stephanie Soo says yes, and now she’s had to change hotels eight times.
    • Trump vs. Musk: The Twitter breakup you didn’t know you needed.
    • Lizard corpses, snake sightings, and... zebra airlifts? Yup. It’s that kind of episode.

    🐾 Also this week:

    • A dead bird isn’t the only wildlife drama on our porches
    • RIP to a pet and the awkward cremation aftermath
    • Should you give a dog back to the family that dumped it?
    • ADHD hacks for free national park access (no gatekeeping here!)

    📚 Book Chat: That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally

    We’re OBSESSED. This twisty emotional thriller gave us all the feels — suspense, heartbreak, and ugly crying on the floor. If you love dual POVs, slow-burn reveals, and a book boyfriend who will wreck you emotionally, this one’s for you.

    🛑 Spoilers ahead. (And bring tissues.)

    Rating: 9.5/10
    ⭐️ Themes: Identity, survival, trauma, redemption
    💔 Side effects: Uncontrollable sobbing, book hangover

    🎙️ Segment Highlights:

    • “Am I the A-hole?” this week: A woman adopts a dog from a shelter. Then the original owners want it back. Would you give him up?
    • Butterfly updates (spoiler: one of them didn’t make it, and the other won’t leave)
    • Why powder on the bathroom floor is totally justified
    • That time we realized we should’ve been lion cuddlers

    🧼 Laundry Detergent Deep Dive:

    Tell us your laundry detergent loves. Do the scents actually last? Do we care if we smell like fruity pebbles? The answer may surprise you.

    📖 Next Week’s Read: The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

    It’s giving fake marriage, tropical chaos, and enemies-to-lovers — aka the beachy palate cleanser we all need after this week’s emotional rollercoaster.

  • 🎪 Episode 79 Parenting, True Crime and Chaos: Birds in the Dryer, Diddy on Trial, and Pool Mop Fails: Just Another Tuesday
    Jun 5 2025

    Send us a text

    Hosts: Stefanie Navarro & Meredith Hill
    Run Time: 46 Mins

    Theme: Domestic Chaos, Sean Diddy Combs Court Case Updates, Puppy Yoga, AITA, Book Club Review!

    🎧 In This Episode:

    Welcome back to This Is My Circus — the podcast that celebrates parenting misadventures, pop culture meltdowns, questionable home repairs, and our undying obsession with true crime and spicy books.

    In this episode, Stephanie and Meredith dive headfirst into the weekly chaos, starting with bird skeletons in the dryer vent (yes, you read that right), mechanic mishaps, and pool-cleaning shenanigans that involved zip-tying a Magic Eraser to a mop. Just normal stuff over here. 😂

    But we don't stop there...

    We dish the latest on the Diddy courtroom drama, from Secret Service Sam’s live updates to 50 Cent's savage AI memes and why “Itty Bitty Diddy” might be the new nickname you never knew you needed. Plus: who got kicked out of the courtroom, why Kid Cudi's car exploded, and what Cassie’s terrifying connection reveals about the bigger case.

    Also this week:

    • A heartfelt shoutout to listener Sarah (we see you, girl!)
    • Parenting sideline chaos at a basketball tournament
    • A possible ancestral connection to a death row inmate (?!)
    • Dinosaurs, dragons, and underground reptilians (blame TikTok)
    • Puppy yoga and Golden Girl realities
    • The book review that fell flat — and what we’re reading next

    📚 Book Chat:
    We review She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell, which had all the right ingredients — twin sisters, elite boarding school, mysterious death — but somehow still underdelivered. It was giving “Lifetime movie with no budget.” 😬

    👀 Next Week’s Read:
    That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally – a TikTok fave that promises suspense, memory loss, and maybe a murder. Let’s hope it redeems this week’s flop!

    🎙️ Segment Highlights:

    • “Am I the A-hole?” this week: A guy names his dog after his ex-best friend. Petty? Or perfect revenge?
    • The moment we realized… we are actually the same age as the Golden Girls. 😳
    • Why a Rottweiler cuddle session ended with a fall (and a Ring cam video request).
