Momma Said We're Idiots
This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, Whitney takes Momma Ashley on a luxury bus to Austin, where Mom tries a Waymo for the first time and then listens to last week's episode only to declare, "Y'all are idiots," leaving Courtney convinced she's suddenly on probation.
The sisters chalk it up to Momma running her own assisted living facility while caring for Aunt Karen, who slipped on kitty litter and broke her leg. Meanwhile, Whitney mixes vodka Diet Dr. Peppers in lieu of pain meds, and Courtney reports back from a "panty dropper" mushroom lunch...
Introducing 'Momma Said What??'
This week, Courtney and Whitney introduce their new opening segment, "Momma Said What?," a weekly recap of the funniest, sweetest, and WTF things their beloved Momma Ashley has said or done recently. But Momma's weekly "funny" involving a blown transformer and broken microwave reminded Courtney of a recent run‑in with their dad at the hair salon, where he put on one of his famous one‑man shows about his Bristol Farms grocery‑store debacle.
The crackups continue as the sisters touch on Courtney's silent staredown with comedian Bill Hader in L.A., adding to her li...

Divorce Boot Camp and Bathtub Beef
After paying tribute to the one-year anniversary of the Los Angeles fires last week, Courtney and Whitney finally circle back to their usual nonsense including questionable food, wood conundrums and the slow realization that everyone they know is either perimenopausal or allergic to something.
The sisters recap Christmas and NYE from Dallas to Broken Bow to Vegas, including bathtub braised short ribs, sea bass in tomato "Comcast," and why Caesar salad was banned during "Divorce Boot Camp!"

Birthdays, Bondage Sets, and Bedside Tomatoes
The sisters are finally catching their breath after pulling off what might be Whitney's most ambitious idea yet: turning her house into a full 1920s speakeasy for Lance's 50th.
