Step into a new episode of Can You Say Mama, where we dive into millennial culture, dissect pop controversies, delve into parenting milestones, and much more. From the creation of new slang to navigating the complexities of mom life, we’re speaking our minds on so many topics!
We kick things off with a deep dive into the millennial-made treasure trove of slang, spotlighting gems like "cheugy" and "rizz." Ever wonder who comes up with this stuff? We're peeling back the layers on these buzzwords that have everyone from TikTok teens to puzzled parents scratching their heads. It's all about decoding the vibe of the times, laughing at ourselves a little, and figuring out if wearing skinny jeans still makes us cool or if we've officially become cheugy.
The spotlight then shifts to the whirlwind of speculation surrounding Taylor Swift and whether she'll make the globe-trotting trip from Japan to see Travis Kelce play in the Super Bowl. This saga isn't just about celebrity schedules; it's a testament to the power of celebrity relationships in the public eye and their influence on fan communities and media narratives. We delve into the frenzy of fan theories, the logistics of international travel, and how Sacha truly knows nothing about sports!
Next, we tackle the trend of choosing baby names. Cassie does a TikTok dive and really hits a homerun with the stories selected - spoiler alert: would you name your babies Dawasha & Dadrya?
Lastly, we discuss the journey of weaning from breastfeeding, a deeply personal yet universally relatable phase for many parents. This conversation aims to shed light on the emotional and practical facets of this transition, offering insights, empathy, and advice for navigating this change.

PMS, Full Moons, Psychic Dreams & Aliens

In this new episode of Can You Say Mama, we stray from all mom talk to delve into some of the most fascinating and lesser-explored corners of human experience and mysteries. We catch up with each other from the holidays, dive into our potential future travel plans, and you'll get a review of the Nixit Cup!

Our hosts shed light on this intriguing subject, exploring the psychological and physiological aspects that might explain these experiences. Is it a myth, or is there a deeper scientific explanation waiting to be uncovered?
As we move on, we chat about full moons and when Mercury is in retrograde - is this true, or a popular millenial excuse?

Finally, we jet off to Miami, a city known for its vibrant culture and, as some believe, extraterrestrial visitors. We'll examine the reports of alien sightings and unexplained phenomena that have turned Miami into a hotbed of UFO activity. Are these visitors from another world, or is there a more earthly explanation?
