Three Lil Fishes

Selling a home can be an emotional roller coaster, and buying one comes with its own set of surprises. This week on Three Little Fishes, we're pulling back the curtain on the real estate world with special guest Blair Teasdale, a real estate veteran with 30 years of experience and Managing Broker at Corcoran in Nashville.

From the best time of year to list your home to the staging secrets that actually make a difference, Blair shares practical advice for getting your house ready to sell, pricing it right, and avoiding costly mistakes. We also talk about what...

When it comes to our kids and sports, how do we know when to push through and when to say enough is enough? This week, the Fishes get real about student-athlete injuries, the difference between soreness and pain, and the tough balancing act of protecting our kids while letting them do what they love. Plus, Halloween adventures, some football controversy, and a cozy fall corn chowder recipe. Because sometimes the most important thing we can teach our kids is to listen to their bodies.

Halloween is the perfect excuse to talk about the things that scare us — from ghosts and creepy cabin stories to the very real anxieties that follow us into adulthood. This week, the Three Lil Fishes swap spooky thoughts, laugh about Halloween fun (and the effort it takes to have some), and explore why certain fears stick with us. Because sometimes the scariest things aren’t hiding in the dark — they’re already in our heads.

What’s the difference between being nice and being kind? This week, the sisters explore people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and why doing the right thing sometimes means making someone uncomfortable. Inspired by Matthew McConaughey's thoughts on raising good men and Kristen Bell's struggle to speak up, they get into the messy reality of friendships, family, honesty, and learning to stand by your values without losing your compassion.

Plus, the latest TV we're watching, a conversation about Christina Applegate's health news, and Lynne shares an easy, comforting Irish stew inspired by Mary Berry. Because being kind is important, but so...

What happens when jury duty turns out to be more than just a day spent waiting around a courthouse? This week, Nancy shares her first experience serving on a jury, from the surprising realities of the courtroom to an embarrassing paperwork mishap and a verdict that left her feeling more hopeful about our justice system. Kathy also shares her husband's experience as an alternate juror, and the sisters discuss why jury duty matters—even when it means sacrificing time and money.

Plus, the sisters weigh in on AI-written dating texts, the debate over what women wear to th...

It’s officially fall, y’all—and the Three Little Fishes have opinions. This week, the sisters talk about everything making them crazy lately, from $6-a-gallon gas and endless heat to rainy weather, shorter days, leaves in the garage and the return of skinny jeans. Then they put their fall favorites to the ultimate test with a round of Yay or Nay.

Pumpkin spice in everything? Candy corn? Haunted houses? Football in 80-degree weather? Matching Halloween costumes? Getting lost in a corn maze? Find out where the sisters agree, where they absolutely do not, and just how well t...

Food recalls seem to be everywhere, and this week the Fishes are asking a slightly terrifying question: Can we trust what we're eating? From foodborne illness and contaminated produce to recalls, raw foods, organic produce, farmers' markets and even canned chicken, the sisters dive into what can make our food unsafe—and what we can actually do about it.

Lynne shares the unforgettable story of getting violently sick from a spinach salad while trapped in a Nordstrom bathroom, Kathy talks about her own recent bout of food poisoning, and the sisters debate whether washing produce is enough, wh...

This week, the sisters have a lot to talk about.

In What’s the Buzz, they catch up on some heartbreaking celebrity news, celebrate a few happy announcements, and talk about Sydney Sweeney’s very provocative new sports-betting campaign.

Then, in Let’s Jump In, the conversation gets more serious. The Sydney Sweeney ad opens the door to a bigger discussion about the explosion of online sports betting, especially among young men. How much is too much? Does constant access make gambling more dangerous? And are we doing enough to teach our kids about the risks...

We're back for season 3!

Friendships don’t always end with a fight. Sometimes people simply get off the train—and sometimes we have no idea why. This week, the sisters talk about the complicated, sometimes painful reality of adult friendships: how they evolve, why some fade away, whether old friendships can be rekindled, and what it really means to have people who show up for you. Plus, Lynne shares what she’s binge-watching and the sisters finish with a healthy dinner, sourdough, banana bread…and, naturally, wine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

This week, the sisters cover a lot of ground—from a surprisingly effective skincare tip you’ll want to remember, to the very real stress of figuring out what to wear to a black tie optional wedding without losing your mind (or your budget).

In “What’s the Buzz,” things take a turn into the irrational (and maybe not-so-irrational) as they unpack fears around flying, bridges, gondolas, and self-driving cars—basically, all the ways modern life can quietly freak you out.

Then it’s onto the main event: surviving the back half of the school year. With jun...

This week, the Fishes cover everything from a harrowing flight home from Dallas Mom’s Weekend to the shifting world of Girl Scout cookies and the debate over Crime 101. But the real question is: who’s running the kitchen?

When a son takes a trash bag to the pantry in the name of “health,” it sparks a bigger conversation about the invisible, thankless job of feeding a family—from when they're in diapers til they're handed a diploma. Protein, fiber, evolving metabolisms, and the emotional labor of stocking the shelves… it’s all on the table.

From a 41-year-old gold medalist to online criticism of young competitors, they unpack resilience, grace, and perspective.

This week, the sisters kick things off by talking about the Year of the Fire Horse—what that energy represents and why it feels like a moment for boldness, movement, and telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

They also recap Christmas highlights and mishaps, including family Wii throwbacks, holiday traditions that still hold up, and the now-famous butter-soaked cheesecloth turkey (because if you’re going to do it, you might as well do it right).

The conversation turns to pop culture with a rundown of the Golden Globes—what stood out, what surprised them, an...

The Fishes are just popping in today to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.  Hope you have a great time celebrating however you and yours do the holiday!

Finals week has officially hit, tensions are high, and the holidays are in full swing. This week, the sisters cover it all—from stressed-out kids and moody households to the eternal debate over real vs. fake Christmas trees (Lynne has very strong feelings and zero regrets).

Kathy shares the story behind her family’s legendary peanut brittle (yes, it’s better than See’s), Nancy admits her black-thumb struggles while marveling at Kathy’s green one, and we break down the hits and total misses of Elf on the Shelf.

We’re also joined by Danielle Fra...

It’s Holiday Traditions week, and the sisters are diving straight into the good stuff: their all-time favorite Christmas movies, the classics they revisit every year, and the ones they could happily never watch again. They’re ranking their top holiday songs — from cozy nostalgia to the universally hated tracks they’d ban from every playlist.

You’ll also hear about family traditions that still matter, from the annual Christmas train setup to the mysteries of the Elf on the Shelf. Plus: the Netflix holiday movie you should watch, and the one you can skip without a shred of g...

This week, the sisters catch up on Thanksgiving chaos — flat tires on the 5, tailgating at the Bears/Eagles game, Kathy refusing oysters, and a quick preview of the Big Ten Championship as Indiana faces the Ohio State. There’s even a quick holiday detour into honeycomb “coal” candy.

Then it’s Part Two with nurse practioner and skincare specialist Kim Engelhardt, who breaks down what actually matters for aging skin. Kim cuts through TikTok noise and focuses on the three essentials every woman should be using: vitamin C, sunscreen, and retinol. She digs into PRF vampire facials, collagen s...

This week, the sisters are all over the place in the best way. They kick things off with dog drama, sourdough starter anxiety, and a completely unnecessary debate over whether Oliver Hudson actually needs to act in a Hallmark-style holiday movie. ’Tis the season, so naturally they dive into the first festive pick of the year: A Merry Little Xmas on Netflix — worth it for Chet alone, who apparently spends half the movie half-naked.

Then they welcome menopause expert Kim Engelhardt, who breaks down what’s really going on with women’s hormones, why so many are dismisse...

This week on Three Lil Fishes, we kick off the holiday season with a conversation all about connection—the kind that happens around the table, through the stories we tell, and the dishes we keep making year after year.

Nancy shares how baking Producer Tim's grandmother’s apple strudel keeps loved ones close, even when they’re gone. Kathy tells how The Wizard of Oz became part of her husband’s Thanksgiving tradition, and whether she'll rekindle that tradition this year.  The sisters debate whether Ambrosia Salad deserves a comeback (Producer Tim says "Yes, please!"). They also reflect o...

Raising teenagers isn’t for the faint of heart — and these three sisters have the stories (and the gray hairs) to prove it. From curfews and mood swings to when to step back and let them figure it out, Lynne, Kathy, and Nancy talk honestly about surviving the teen years with humor, grace, and just enough caffeine. They also dig into why respect has to go both ways, how to stay connected without hovering, and the fine art of not losing your mind when your kid slams the door for the third time this week.

Oh, and stic...

PROGRAM NOTE: An earlier version of this episode had incorrect information about online betting trends.  We deleted that incorrect statistic from the episode.

This week, the sisters are talking tailgates, touchdowns, and total chaos. Kathy shares her game-day adventures at Michigan State — TVs, portable bars, and all — and the unspoken rule of tailgating: never show up empty-handed. The conversation rolls into college football’s NIL money boom and how the game’s changing for today’s student-athletes. Then it’s What’s for Dinner? — and things get messy when Kathy’s homemade noodle project takes a turn for the worse (let’...

This week, the sisters take on Halloween—its ghosts, myths, and mind games.
Nancy opens with a heartfelt tribute to Diane Keaton before diving into her uneasy relationship with Halloween (blame childhood warnings about razor blades in candy). Kathy brings the science, debunking that urban legend and sharing what Psychology Today says about why we love to be scared. Lynne’s in-laws swear they’ve met a ghost, and Kathy shocks everyone by revealing she has a friend who’s a real-life medium. The conversation spirals into whether mediums are actually reading energy… or just reading people, and how the br...

This week, the sisters dive headfirst into “The Craze Craze” — exploring why we can’t resist trendy toys, hot products, and the rush of being part of the moment. From today’s must-have collectible Labubu to the Cabbage Patch riots of the ‘80s, they unpack what makes us chase connection through stuff (and why paying more sometimes feels better).

Plus, Nancy shares a real-life horror story about discovering lice in her house — the stress, the stigma, and the pricey path to being bug-free. And for What’s for Dinner, the answer is simple: you’re off duty. Skip the cooking...
