Theme: Baby goats, Hero dads, Bronzer Dupe Win, New Obsessions, Diddy Case, Real life Dexter, AITA, Book Club Review

Welcome back to This Is My Circus — the podcast where parenting meets pop culture chaos, and goat cuddling is cheaper than therapy. This week, we’re bringing stories that range from adorable to unhinged, including TikTok trolls, cruise ship heroes, and a real-life Dexter you won’t believe.

In this episode, we cover:

• 🐐 Our literal goat cuddling experience (yes, we paid extra and yes, it was worth every penny)
• ⚠️ A Disney Cruise dad jumps overboard to save his daughter — and treads water for 20 minutes like a legend
• 🩺 A new nurse spreads affair rumors… about a daughter and her dad? Yikes.
• 🧴 Drugstore beauty wins: The $1.25 bronzing drops you need now
• ✈️ Meredith’s obsession with Emirates airline and why we were meant to fly first-class forever

🧼 Real Talk + Life Lately:

• Our chaotic Dollar Tree finds (thank you Nina Pool!)
• Tried the new local spot, The Cattle Car — rustic glam + great food? Yes please.
• Gas station pranks, and the weirdest storms of summer

🎙️ “Am I the A-Hole?”

A hospital social worker gets a nurse fired for spreading gossip that she’s having an affair with...her dad.
Verdict: Not the A-hole. But also...what’s going on in that hallway?

🧠 Deep Dives + Weird News:

• A real-life Dexter in Brazil: Pedro Rodriguez, aka “The Brazilian Vigilante,” claimed over 100 victims — but only the “bad guys”
• Four 5th-grade girls plot a classmate’s murder over cheating rumors. WHAT.
• A wind turbine blade falls into traffic — Final Destination flashbacks incoming
• Conspiracy TikTok alert: CIA files, Mandela effects, and the rabbit hole you’ll never crawl out of

📚 Book Chat: What She Left by H.K. Christie

We wanted to love this one — the mystery, the flawed PI mom, the buried secrets — but the robotic narration and stiff dialogue took us out of it.

⭐️ Rating: 2.5/10
💬 Strong premise, poor execution. The addiction arc was solid, but the pacing dragged and the delivery was dry.

📖 Next Read: You by Charles Benoit

A dark YA thriller told in second person. It’s short, intense, and under 4 hours — let’s see if it redeems our reading week.

📚 Book Chat: The Vacancy in Room 10 by Seraphina Nova Glass

We had high hopes for the premise — secretive husband, suspicious death, eccentric neighbors — but the plot wandered and lost us.

⭐️ Rating: 4/10
💬 Best parts? The quirky residents and the fixer-chick named Cass. Worst? Everything else.

Theme: Domestic Chaos, Sean Diddy Combs Court Case Updates with Jay-Z allegations, Killer Kangaroos, AITA, Book Club Review!

Welcome back to This Is My Circus — where the chaos is real, the animals are escaping, and the only peace you’ll get is in the bathroom with a burrito.

This week, Stephanie and Meredith break down:

• The latest Diddy courtroom chaos — another juror booted, leaks in the courtroom, and Secret Service Sam’s questionable switch-up.
• The bizarre and unconfirmed Jay-Z paternity allegations and why he’s refusing a DNA test.
• The real criminal? A kangaroo in South Carolina and a dead hammerhead shark dropping from the sky. (Sharknado is real.)
• Plus: Fake food poisoning to escape the kids. Worth it? Totally.

🐾 Animal Drama Rundown:

• A wallaby loose in Tennessee
• A kangaroo “murder?” in Myrtle Beach
• An emu on the run
• Zebra Ed now has a book deal
• And a “baby shark” falling from the sky during disc golf

📱 In Pop Culture + News:

• Converse ripped off a small designer, and we’re mad about it
• Summer camp for women? Yes, please. But we want glamping, not Girl Scouts.

📚 Book Chat: The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

A swoony and laugh-out-loud rom-com that hit all the right notes. We LOVED it.

⭐️ Rating: 10/10
💬 Enemies-to-lovers, seafood poisoning, fake honeymoon, real feelings.
🧴 Heat level: One chili pepper (light sizzle, lots of feels)

It’s the perfect palate cleanser after a string of intense reads — a must-read beach book if you love a slow burn with heart.

🎙️ Segment Highlights:

• “Am I the A-hole?”: A mom fakes food poisoning to eat a burrito alone in the bathroom. A true hero.
• Why we both started new businesses (Refined Occasions & Honey Drop Media)
• Our summer is chaos and we’re drowning in Garfield underwear and deodorant-level espresso hacks

📖 Next Week’s Read:

The Vacancy in Room 10 by Seraphina Nova Glass
