Call Your BFF

As Midwesterners, it's our duty to talk about the weather at the beginning of every episode... but, anyways... This week, we spiral into everything from discovering (at the worst time) that your car horn doesn't work to plotting our way into the witness protection program. Are dating show contestants even trying to find love? Did we miss out by skipping a wild spring break trip? And we're back on our conspiracy theories... Are car washes a scam? Is Mattress Firm a front? And why can't we choose where our tax dollars go?! Tune in for your usual Friday BFF banter

This week, Tia takes us on her solo hiking adventure and we love how the first warm days bring everyone outside. We also ask the age-old question—why did every kid want to be a marine biologist?

Tune in for your weekly dose of chitchats with your virtual BFFS!

DoorDash, we love you, but your algorithm needs work. Wildly inappropriate songs we had no business singing as kids. …and more random chaos, as always.
