Summer has officially arrived and the Fishes are leaning all the way in. This week we're talking smart soccer balls at the World Cup, wisdom teeth and root canals, shrinkflation hitting our grocery carts, and why your favorite M&Ms may be changing colors.

Then we dive into memories of perfect summers, summer flings, camp adventures, and the songs that instantly transport us back to lake days, road trips, and warm nights. We wrap things up by sharing our favorite summer potluck sides, from cowboy caviar to crunchy cabbage salad and German potato salad.

The Perfect Summer: A Recipe

This week on Three Little Fishes, we're talking about what we're watching, loving, and laughing about—from a behind-the-scenes Shrinking event and a Rod Stewart concert to new shows that have us hooked (or disappointed). Then we tackle a more meaningful topic after attending a friend's mother's funeral: how we say goodbye, process grief, and honor the people we love. We wrap things up with a surprisingly delicious dairy-free fettuccine Alfredo that's comfort food at its finest.

How We Say Goodbye

This week on Three Little Fishes, the sisters cover a little bit of everything — from the Indy 500 and binge-worthy watches to the complicated conversations around OnlyFans, judgment, and survival. Then they dive into the mounting pressure facing today’s teens during junior year: SAT prep, acne treatments, college anxiety, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes parents accidentally become part of the stress. They wrap things up with easy crockpot pork tacos, hungry college kids home for the summer, and practical dinner ideas that stretch across multiple meals.

SATs, Skin Care & Social Judgment

Three sisters. One hundred episodes. Countless laughs, tangents, parenting stories, tech disasters, and honest conversations. In this special milestone episode, the fishes look back on how the podcast started, what they’ve learned, how life has changed over the last 100 episodes, and why authentic connection matters more than perfection. It’s funny, reflective, vulnerable, and very, very real.

100 Lil Episodes

This week on Three Little Fishes, the sisters tackle everything from bizarre new M&M flavors and whether Cheez-Its are secretly worse for your teeth than candy, to Cameron Diaz becoming a mom at 53. Then they sit down with special guest Peter Jakuc for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to host the PGA Championship — from volunteers and security to transforming an entire golf club into a temporary city. Plus, Nancy shares an easy grilled flank steak dinner that stretches into tacos, nachos and more.

Golf, Gossip & Grilled Flank Steak

This week, we’re catching up on what we’re watching, sharing Mother’s Day plans, and diving into a surprisingly complicated topic: boundaries. From wedding guest list drama to navigating “tricky people,” we unpack when it’s okay to choose yourself—and what it might cost. Plus, an easy, go-to dinner everyone will actually eat.

The Art of the Guest List (and Who Doesn’t Make It)

This week, the sisters are talking about something everyone is feeling right now—how to make your dollar stretch.

From thrifting finds and resale wins to gas hacks and grocery strategies, they share real-life ways they’re cutting costs without cutting quality. Plus, practical tips to make food last longer (because throwing it away feels worse than ever right now).

And for “What’s for Dinner,” a surprisingly simple, budget-friendly risotto that tastes anything but cheap.

Because stretching your dollar doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the things you love.

Stretching Your Dollar (Without Losing Your Mind)

This week the sisters are back with a packed episode! We're diving into what's on our watchlists right now — from Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison to Dan Levy's hilarious new show Big Mistakes, Ryan Gosling's slow-burn Hail Mary, and why we're both loving and frustrated with Hacks, Shrinking, and High Potential. We also brought in a special guest — an Emmy Award-winning television professional — to break down why you're still sitting through commercials even on the streaming services you pay for. Spoiler: the economics of TV are messier than you think.

Then we get real about health. Nancy had a mammogram and had THOUGHTS. Why is this still the best we've got?! We dig into the stats on breast cancer, why early detection is everything, and what better options might be out there. Plus, Kathy breaks down the shingles vaccine — what it is, who needs it, and why you really don't want to skip it.

And of course, we wrap up with What's for Dinner!

Squeeze, Stream & Shingles: What We're Watching, Why Mammograms Are the Worst, and the TV Business Explained

This week, the sisters cover everything from wellness trends like cold plunges to surprising health headlines—before diving into the emotional rollercoaster of kids transitioning into middle school. They unpack shifting friendships, mean text messages, and the challenge of helping kids build boundaries without stepping in to fix everything. It’s an honest conversation about letting kids struggle safely, navigating social dynamics, and what it really means to support your child as they grow up.

Cold Plunges, Mean Texts, and Letting Go

This week, we’re talking mac & cheese success stories, dusty closets, March Madness, and a few hot takes on pop culture—but underneath it all, we’re asking a bigger question:

Why are we so tired?

Nothing’s wrong. Life is good. And yet… we’re running on empty.

We get real about what self-care actually looks like right now—from cold plunge curiosity to the reality of trying to recharge without adding more to your plate. It’s honest, relatable, and probably exactly how you’ve been feeling too.
