They say opposites attract. For Sam and Bill that saying has never rung more true! Tune in as these two navigate their way through their own "grownup" relationship, while simultaneously trying to plan their BIG DAY. Send help, and therapy credits.
Bill and Sam close out the wedding chat montage in their final episode of this 4 part series. They let you know how to prevent mistakes they made, spill some tasty wedding dramas, and have somewhat of a beef midway. Plus, the future transition of this show has been decided.....
Episode 3 of 4 on the big day party-down! Bill and Sam share their secrets as to why they looked so fabulous, disagree over Spiderman, and reveal what they gifted one another! Although Bill gave a gift every rom-com lover dreams of, Sam shocked with something quite......scandalous. Little fails, little advices, come along for the ride.
In this part 2 of 4 series, Sam and Bill cover their wedding additives that aren't at everyone's party, but certainly added to the experience! These are the goods that got people REALLY impressed, because it just made the night stand out. Also, Sam accidentally almost drugged all their guests. Don't get weird about it.
AHHHHHHH!!! This happened, Bill and Sam are hitched, can you tell they are still on cloud 9? There was just too much to discuss, so this is episode is part 1 of 4, where the married couple breaks into the wedding staples . Get ready for some detail. Oh also Jake where is your gift.
Wow. This is the last episode as an engaged couple, only 48 hours away from being married! Bill and Sam discuss their fears, last minute happenings, DEEP advice from Sam's dad, what dollar amount you need to pay taxes on from a wedding gift, and whether or not they an have sex in the venue's bridal suite. So many thoughts. See you on the other side.
Sam and Bill hash out their "do not play" list for the wedding, applied for their marriage license, and try to list out their own flaws for one another as a partner exercise. WHICH basically turn the rest of he episode into a peaceful beef. No shock there. OH and Bill as a baby is horrifying, Just wait.
Sam tries her best (still somehow hungover?) to recap the bachelorette weekend for Bill, describes having her first edible, and attempts to theorize what kind of penis she'd have. Bill presents 3 mini-moon locations he's narrowed down, and they have some hot takes on what eloping actually is vs. isn't! One of their friends is doing it and it's sure as hell stirring up some feelings!
This. This is what happens when Bill is left alone to record an episode without Sam. Anime, climbing, strippers, sex kung fu. Sam only claims responsibly to this caption, and nothing more.
Bill finds a note from Sam's ex boyfriend in her old room, and decides to do a dramatic reading of it, while they read it for the first time. YIKES. It might be the first time Sam is embarrassed on this whole damn podcast. They also vent about their current wedding bull crap, and Bill pulls out quite the beef.
Sam and Bill sat down (again) with special guest, Jackie, from Dog Friendly Living! They chat about different ways couples can include their dog on the big day, because whom are we kidding. The dogs are the real stars of our relationships. They also cover some every-day-dog-parent advice, and tangent on people who don't like pitties out of ignorance. Take is personally.
Yep. It is what it is. On top of coming clean, Sam and Bill chat about their cake tasting, and parents who take back their check after their kid gets divorced. What?!
Sam sits down with her friend Karina, the professional wedding planner who's been whispering advice in her ear for the past year. They answer questions from followers, chat about what someone can expect from hiring a good wedding planner, and what someone might expect by NOT hiring one. Woof. This is one hell of an industry!
Bill and Sam had their joint wedding shower! Sam drank too much and Bill felt up legs and fell asleep on the bar. Obviously, the day was a massive success and they now have wisdom to impart on you. Take notes.
On this very special episode, Sam sits down with "Date Yourself Instead" queen, Lyss. She's been in the world of influencing for over 10 years, and has basically been in a relationship the entire time.....until recently. Instead of turning to another partner, she's turning to herself. Healing, learning, and ultimately creating her best self without distraction. Sam believes that if you EVER want to be ready for a lifelong commitment to a partner, first you have to actively take this adventure. So let's get personal....
Sam had quite the first-wedding-dress-fitting moment when her seamstress told her how drastic her difference in boob sizes was! Bill has been keeping an old photo of him and his college ex in storage, and the two discuss purging ex's from social media. All in all, this one is quite the balance of advice and fuckery.
Bill and Sam give their take on choosing music for your wedding, how to win at hair trials, and the perils of trying to be all cute and adding wax seals to your invites! MAY be their worst idea yet, time will tell. Oh also, what the hell, Adam Levine?
Sam is quite all over for this one, and may still be a bit tipsy as she writes this (rumor has it). Bill and Sam talk about the COMPLETION of their invite journey, actual SABOTAGE of a listener, and stuffing their faces. Also, did she lose the pimple popping bet?!
Bill and Sam are visiting Laura (previously known as episode 28's Bachelorette Bitch) and her husband Scott! They rate two different weddings they were at over the weekend, and frankly have like 3 separate beefs. But at least this time, they have company to help hash out who's right!
Bill and Sam discuss the possibility of their alternate relationship paths if they never got together, and Bill reveals he's still technically on Bumble! Plus they spill the beans about some more intimate parts of the beginning of their journey together. Turns out they're both pieces of crap humans, for different reasons.
IT'S SAM's BIRTHDAY EPISODE!!! Now that that's out of the way, she needs some help from Bill picking out her first set of lingerie for him EVER. Plus they plan a very unconventional shower, and argue over how gross/not gross one of Bill's public habits may be....
Bill and Sam welcome Danielle Monaro and Jeff from IT to help battle out some of their wedding confusion! They figure the pros/cons to a first look vs meeting at the isle, figure out the dress code, and even reveal an embarrassing concern carried over from last episode....
Bill and Sam get into some of the harder marriage questions they've yet to discuss, and one of them is ABSOLUTELY more romanic than the other about it all. Plus, Bill logs back into his bumble account to rehash their first conversation ever! How the hell did this couple get here?!
Bill and Sam write vows for one another to read sight unseen, and he's ready to call off the wedding because of it! Plus they FINALLY have some invite tips, work out how they might include Savannah in the ceremony, and beef about whether or not Sam lost the pimple picking bet already!
It. Is. CRUNCH TIME!!!! Bill and Sam are less than 4 months away from getting married and this apathetic couple still has so much to do! As they inch closer, Sam basically fires Bill from his role in planning necessities because she just wants to sprint them to the finish line. Which frankly, sounds expensive. Basically, this entire episode is on big beef!!!!
Introducing the true star of the wedding ceremony, Officiant Baby Face Jake! He joins Bill and Sam to start discussing ceremony options, and it turns out he may be slightly less experienced than they originally thought. Oh dear.
$1,000 is on the table. If Sam can manage to make it to the wedding without picking at her skin ONCE, it's all hers. Otherwise the cash goes to Bill, and he's pretty sure it will be the easiest grand of his life! Plus they discuss having their brand new niece at the wedding, and somehow end up fighting about almost nothing at all.
Bill and Sam are now self-proclaimed travel experts! They came up with a list of resort Do's and Don't's after a few glorious nights in Sandals Royal Bahamian. Is it helpful? Probably not. But at least they returned with some interesting stories and a little bit of beef....
Bill and Sam sit down with their friend Laura, who is hence forth crowned the professional bachelorette bitch (compliment). She has some solid stories/advice, because not only is she attending Sam's, but she's been to over 15! 15!!! And has seen some SHIT!!!!
Bill and Sam have proposed to their friend Jake, and asked him to be their officiant! Which they were super stoked on until they realized, none of the couples he's married have made it. Yikes. PLUS, Sam has some strong feeling about the bridesmaid dress choosing world.
Diamond challenges Bill to trumpet along with her picks for our wedding playlist! If he wants to play with a live band on their big day, this son of a bitch better WURK!
DIAMOND IS HERE! She challenges Bill to a live trumpet/wedding contest, to see if he actually has what it takes to play on their big day! If he can't nail it, Sam says he can't play at the wedding. Plus, they are going through some real guest-list stresses thanks to accepting a generous financial gift from Sam's parents! Chaos.
Bill and Sam basically get NO WEDDING PLANNING DONE this week. Instead, they argue a record breaking 4 times, teach Bill how to "smize," and ironically take a quiz that says they are more compatible than ever. Honestly, this relationship makes no sense some days.
Introducing distinguished guests, THE BROOKLYN BOYS! Sam and Bill are planning a holiday weekend wedding, and "some people" feel a certain way about that. They all hash out what guests want to experience at a wedding party, and how to potentially assess your wedding gift value! LET THE BICKERING BEGIN!
NOT FOR MOM AND DAD! Sam talks about shitting her pants this week, and Billy recalls his first orgasm....which was an accident....and apparently, at 15-years-old! WOAH! They also recap where they are failing in wedding planning, and fight over snacks.
Sam addresses some real anxiety she's been dealing with causing wedding nightmares, and literally cries. Which is totally on brand for her. Bill on the other hand is fed up with her subconscious expecting the worst of him, and tries to summon her to correct it! Also he wants angry sex.
Bill and Sam BOTH show up tipsy to celebrate him being DONE WITH SCHOOL! They recount their second date (which apparently was only good from Bill's point of view), spill their drunk "first tell's", and get into one another's red flags.
Sam spends literally more than a month's rent on a single purchase for herself, and wants to come clean about it. Understandably, Bill is NOT the most thrilled. He is, however, slightly more excited about having a joint stripper event, as was suggested by a listener!
Guest hosts Carla Marie and Anthony grace us with their opinions as Bill and Sam try to figure if they want any strippers at their bachelor/bachelorette parties! Now that Carla Marie is a bridesmaid, apparently she has plans. Plus, BOTH couples get to air out a beef!
First off, Sam is kinda drunk again. So let's get that annoyance out of the way. Secondly, these two discuss how they learned about sex, and what they are going to do with their imaginary child when that time comes. It's now probable it won't be Bill who does the explaining...
Bill stole Sam's thong when they were newly dating, and she JUST found them! EWE is that creepy?! Plus they discuss bachelor/bachelorette parties, and who is responsible for paying for them.
These disagreements are getting taxing. Bill and Sam take a "him or her" traditional bridal shower quiz, and disagree on a crap ton! Plus, Sam has an idea for her pending shower which is either absolutely brilliant, or completely evil. Jury's out....
Bill and Sam play this common "getting to know you game" to determine who knows the other better. Spoiler alert: outcome not great. Plus, this fancy couple went for their first facial, where Billy boy asked if he had to get naked. What the hell was he thinking?!
Bill and Sam recount their engagement party, and it turns into a giant passive aggressive clusterfuck. Plus Sam gives some "party decorating on a budget" tips, and has maybe HER MOST SATISFYING BEEF YET!
Friends, meet Jackeline, aka Dog Friendly Living, aka Savannah's trainer! She's here to save Bill and Sam's sex life from being slowly destroyed by their fur baby. Pet parents, get ready to take notes.
In preparation for a big day, Bill decided to bring in his trumpet and play for the first time in YEARS! HE STILL GOT IT! So while he's in a good mood, Sam tries to convince him they need a few nonconventional wedding additives.....
Sam reconnected with an ex boyfriend for an interview with njindy.com. and is trying to get a real gauge of how Bill feels about it......which may actually be worse by the end of the episode. Oops. ALSO, their dog Savannah is ruining sex.
Sam is drunk from a day-long binge, and felt the need to perform the entire Shrek musical montage. While tortured Bill is trying to wrangle her, he accidentally ends up making her cry, describing the song he wants their first dance to be to. Also they have a band.
Sam thinks all their money should be poured into improving the cocktail hour, which is arguably the MOST IMPORTANT part of a wedding! Meanwhile Bill shares DJ horror stories.....as well as the time he almost literally murdered one of Sam's best friends. For real though.
Bill and Sam start out a little more serious in this one, addressing the intense feels that go along with "long awaited" proposals from both points of view. And then they completely destroy that beautiful intimacy by fighting over men's wedding fashion, and toenail clippers.
Let's sit down with Andrew, the man who ACTUALLY proposed to Sam, and get his POV on the day! I mean, we already knew he was a huge part of the process, but this story is kind of ridiculous. Also Bill likes to baby talk his dog's poop. Apparently.
Sam said yes to her WEDDING DRESS this weekend and it happened so quickly.........like, maybe too quickly? Her standard panic ensues, while Bill tries to describe what he thinks she picked out. Plus, get your first real glimpse into their most common freaking fight.
