The Party Animals, Dustin Baber, horrible dentist experiences, Dr.Dan, Emily gets fired up about pet shopping, Kaitlin gives up social media for Reddit, Matt and Emily are electric toothbrush curious....it's a SWEpisode, you know the drill friends. 

Please welcome the one, the only, Dustin Doyle to SWE! You may remember Kate Doyle from previous episodes and may think it odd they have the same last name. Well, it’s no coincidence. They’re married. Kaitlin and Dustin chat about football (of all things) and recap the Super Bowl. Dustin’s involvement in arresting a Real House HUSBAND on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. What it was like for Dustin and Kate to get married young. We love Dustin and so will you!

It’s SWEpisode day baby! Parker Peach is turning one and Kaitlin is turning...another year older. Scott risks his life and trashes Italian cuisine staples. For some reason Matt is putting rosemary oil on his head, and has unusually soft feet. Kaitlin is starting a social media fast but will also still sort of be on social media. Chipwiches.

SWE interviews are back! This week Kaitlin chats with new friend and podcast co-host, Kelsey Aldinger. Kaitlin and Kelsey talk kids and their shared love of Bravo shows, and dive into Kelsey's journies with IVF and foster care. You're gonna love her!

Caroline joins Kaitlin for a one-on-one sisterly chat. They dive deep into the Enneagram, childhood dream careers, Kaitlin's puffy vest freak out, gushing, and phobias. Enjoy folks!

Happy birthday SWE! We totally forgot and almost missed it (...whoops). In oblivious celebration of our birthday, we cover topics like; Supergoop! and how it's NOT owned by Gwenith Paltrow, Kylie Jenner's striking resemblance to Cillian Murphy (pronounced sil-lee-en according to Kaitlin), Kaitlin and Scott's magical, never-ending salt shaker, Emily's favorite childhood video game to play on the toilet, that time Scott got handcuffed, the magnificent gift from the universe (or just New Jersey) that is gold cards, and Scott's plethora of time traveling friends.

Everyone's favorite youngest sister, Caroline, returns to wreak havoc. Emily and Caroline ring in the New Year with a moving musical number. Emily and Matt finally move and tear Penelope away from her love interest, Vincent. Dad's Amazon account gets "hacked." Kaitlin and Scott encounter a seemingly unbelievable series of unfortunate Christmas break events. And Scott gets an "encouraging word" from the Lord. Welcome to 2024, folks.

OG SWE listeners may remember an early episode from the SWE Vault called Glory Days. Well, you’re in for a real treat because Kaitlin’s cousins, Lauren and Suzy, are back for Glory Days…Part Two. The girls dive into topics like skin care, hair care, foot amputations (gross), and New Year’s resolutions.

Kaitlin and Scott fly solo in this week’s SWEpisode and gather under the warm light of their Christmas tree for a cozy fireside chat. Kaitlin gives updates about a recent health challenge. Scott returns home after being away for work and nearly wipes out the entire Fabletics inventory. Kaitlin gets embarrassed by a shepherd (you’ll see). And Scott has some exciting news to share about his nephew.

The Chicola sisters are back with their usual shenanigans, and this time are joined by a very, very, very, very, very, very, very special guest. She's one of a kind. She's on in a million. And you'll have to listen to find out who it is. This episode is...well, it's something special.

This week on So…What Else: Matt and Scott reconsider their dislike of rompers only to learn they have gone out of style. Scott buys his first pair of sneakers. Everyone finally figures out how tall they are. Emily knocks over a mic. Matt flawlessly describes what a heatless hair curler is. Kait and Scott have achieved the impossible and found a show they can watch together. We’re all in love with Kirk Cousins. And the annual Christmas gift exchange is getting a makeover. Enjoy!

Emily's long-awaited, triumphant return to the pod. Daylight savings is stupid. Kaitlin and Scott unpack how using the Aro has positively impacted their lives. How does one eat a sandwich during a 50-mile bike race? Daylight savings is stupid. The crew ROASTS Emily because she deserves it. Scott has no idea what food is, what it's made out of, or how to use it for basic survival. Daylight savings is stupid.

Emily misses recording because she's ill (and a big baby). Scott, for reasons unbeknownst to any human being, confesses his unjust hatred of cookie dough. The Elliotts head to Disney World and Kait can't get enough of the Frozen ride. Matt and Emily finally closed on their new home and are now entrenched in a major (and some might say, completely unnecessary) flooring debacle. Happy Halloween party people!

Scott bravely battles an over-wintering(?) swarm of bees. Emily nearly loses an appendage at work. Kaitlin calls a baby girl a boy...in front of the baby's mother. Scott begins a new exercise journey that involves eating brownies while working out. And Emily reveals Matt's obsessive hoarding of white shoes. Happy 100th Birthday Scott! We love you!

Kelsey Baty sits down with Kaitlin to have a raw, heart-to-heart about the recent loss of each of their mothers. Both Kelsey’s mom and Kaitlin’s mom bravely fought glioblastomas. K & K talk about the challenges of walking the journey with their moms, the pain of losing them, how the experience has impacted their faith, and how they have picked up the pieces and begun to move forward in the midst of their grief.

Kaitlin finally joins the dark side and embraces Walmart for her shopping needs. Scott and Caroline save Penelope (a dog) from certain explosive doom. Matt and Emily reflect on their experience at a recent Jonas Brothers concert while Kaitlin and Scott decide they’re too old for concerts. The whole gang shares some grocery delivery mixups and (slimy) mishaps.
