My Cousin Across the Street https://mycousinpod.podbean.com Ever wonder how two Mexican girls survived the era of The Price is Right, VapoRub, 7-Up, and enough generational trauma to fund a therapist's retirement? Welcome to My Cousin Across the Street. We’re Mia and Liz, and because you're listening, congratulations—you’re our cousin now too. We’re trading the rotary phones for microphones to dissect the chaos of our childhoods and the absolute audacity of being women in our 40s. From our current mental health struggles to the nostalgic goldmines of our youth, we dive deep into who we became while trying not to lose our minds along the way. Expect unfiltered sarcasm, actual deep dives, and zero sugar-coating. Grab an iced coffee (or something stronger) and join the family meeting. An Espresso Martini will check off 2 boxes, just sayin'. We're your cousins now! Hi cousin!]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:42:45 -0700 https://podbean.com/?v=5.5 en Copyright 2026 All rights reserved.

It's the most wonderful time of the year... SPOOKY SEASON! 🎃👻 In this episode, the cousins are back to dish about ALL things Halloween — from costume planning (Ghostbusters? Big Lebowski? Cousin Eddie?!) to surviving haunted corn mazes with chainsaw-wielding maniacs. We're talking horror movie recs (old school vs. new school), the true crime stories that inspired your favorite scary movies, and why you should ALWAYS trust your gut when it comes to people. Plus: DIY Halloween decor on a budget, the 7-Eleven gas app that's literally changing lives, why moving right before the holidays is a nightmare of its own, and a very important debate about Alani flavors. Oh, and somebody's son may or may not have gotten outed by a bestie's kid at a haunted house. 🤦‍♀️

Grab a cookie (crunchy, from a casserole dish, obviously) and some caldo, and join us for the spookiest, silliest, most chaotic episode yet!

We go down a rabbit hole on internet fetishes (burping? feet? dirty socks?), stumble on a wall of "furry" masks at Spirit Halloween, and share the wildest secondhand stories about accidental innuendo shirts (yes, tits-and-ass golf shirts are real).

 

Along the way we cover:

🎃 Pumpkin spice everything — including pumpkin spice beer and BuzzBalls

🧵 Why tailoring is way harder than making clothes from scratch

💸 The weird economics of OnlyFans-style side hustles and "getting groceries" out of it

🦊 Furries, fursonas, and why we found masks at Spirit Halloween shocking

👕 The funniest clueless-shirt stories you'll hear all year

🎡 Dollywood, Disneyland, and Universal theme park horror stories

📚 Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and her incredible legacy

🍔 Potluck etiquette and the cheapskates who always sign up for "chips"

 

It's a chaotic, hilarious, no-topic-off-limits conversation between two friends just talking about life — nostalgia, fetishes, family, and everything in between.

Mervyns was the GOAT and L.A. Gears were the shoes that everyone had to have. 

Mia isn't allowed to have carbonated drinks anymore and Liz needs wear bloomers or something because as much as we need views, we can't do it like that on the YouTube Liz!

 

What would after school have been without TRL, MTV, The Rosie Odonnell Show and every other talk show? It's back-to-school season, and these two cousins are diving deep into 90s and early 2000s nostalgia! In this episode, we reminisce about Mervyn's, Miller's Outpost, and Kmart shopping trips, iconic brands like LA Gear, Jordache Jeans, and Champion, plus TRL, MTV countdowns, and our teenage heartthrobs (RIP Jared Leto's My So-Called Life era). We talk 90s Halloween costumes, scary movie throwbacks like The Purge, perimenopause struggles, favorite tequila and boxed wine memories, classic afterschool snacks, Hello Kitty and Sanrio collectibles, Lego builds, and why Kohl's could never replace Mervyn's in our hearts.

 

If you grew up in the 90s or early 2000s, get ready for a nostalgic trip down memory lane filled with laughs, throwback pop culture, and real talk about getting older.

This week your cousins are spilling on everything from heartburn remedies and leftover wars to the real talk nobody wants to have at family events — toxic family dynamics, setting boundaries in Latino families, and why being told to "just forgive" can actually do more harm than good.

Plus, we take a detour into the best confidence boost you never knew you needed: the gay club.

Two cousins reminisce about growing up Mexican American — from deli gizzards and grandma's tamales. They dig into the lost language of Spanish amongst our elder's generation, family parties with cactus casualties, '90s TV and music nostalgia, and hard conversations about generational trauma, boundaries, and finally choosing to talk things out instead of staying silent.

Two cousins who grew up right across the street from each other finally sit down to talk about it all: the shared childhood, the dysfunction hiding behind closed doors, and the resilience it took to become who they are today. From '90s nostalgia and questionable hair routines to conversations about enabling, gen-trauma, and learning self-accountability, this episode is equal parts hilarious and real. Grab a drink, settle in, and welcome to the family, you're a cousin now.
