  • Meh

    As a wildly representative of what you get after Holly’s exit, April 2026 featured three chronically underemployed, MAGA-leaning podcasters offering thoughts on (others’) retirements. Kelly is harmless. The others need to look beyond the lies and venom feeding their contentment. See a doctor. Turn off RFK Junior. You’ll understand obesity and stomach issues 🙏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

She Dances: A Love Letter to Dancers Everywhere (Steve Zahn Joins Melissa & Kelly)
Q: Hi moms. My name is Julia. I'm from Miami and I'm curious how the competitions backstage and judging actually work.
Kelly explains that younger or less storyline-heavy dancers like Brooke often had solos that weren't shown because there wasn't a strong conflict arc in those storylines, while more competitive peers like Maddie and Chloe dominated the focus; backstage dynamics and the TV-friendly edits were crafted to create engaging TV while remaining true to the performances.
Fasnachts, Facials and First-Class Dreams
Q: My question for you ladies is, if you could sit next to one person on an airplane for 16 hours, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Both hosts picked a parent—Melissa chose her mom and Jill chose her dad—emphasizing a desire for meaningful, personal conversations and to gain wisdom or closure through that extended time together.
Florida Bound With Full Hearts: A Wedding Countdown!
Q: How did you guys balance just simply feeding your kids at night and tending to family obligations while having dance every night?
The hosts share their experiences of organization and letting go of perfection, emphasizing the importance of accepting help from others and the challenges of managing a busy lifestyle with kids involved in dance.
Melissa’s a Brat, Kelly’s Dress Is Missing & Jill’s Watching Pair Skating
Q: Was Maddie a brat during season one, or did producers make her seem that way?
The panel states that none of the kids were brats, especially Maddie, who was directed by producers to say she was the best.
Baby Showers, Bridal Showers & the Reality of Raising Kids on Camera
Q: Did you ever struggle being on the road so much, and the schedules and everything else on top of regular parenting?
It was hard to discipline them with cameras on and microphones on, and I often let them get away with more because of the pressure they were under.
