We're diving right in and talking about some of our favorite toys we played with as kids, how wild Rubik's cubes are, we have a little gecko friend now and why don't more bugs feast on us while we sleep?! Yikes. Additionally, we're excited to see a LITTLE growth on Ali's TikTok, but it does come with a price, we discuss bananas multiple times, Abraham Lincolns pen, and we try and get past THE CREEZY CONUNDRUM. This episode was great/creezy and we hope you enjoyed it! Sending you lots of love and good vibes this week!

The actors are now on strike as well & FOR GOOD REASON. This AI proposal is WHACK. Vanderpump Rules was nominated for 2 Emmy's & Ali thinks the noms were well deserved. Ali has been very active on TikTok but she struggles with the cringey hooks used to reel people in. Feels icky. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode!

It's cute & funny & a good scroll now but how long will it last before the Finstas start their own Threads account & troll for days? Hoping things don't move in that direction buuuuut most apps do unfortunately. The Taylors are back together again but not in the Back to December kinda way. Ali loves Speak Now TV & especially loved the SharkBoy cameo in the “I Can See You” music video. When he came out onstage during Ms. Swift's concert, Mr. Lautner did a little impromptu flippy & thankfully he didn't flop. We realized this week that frozen pizzas are the adult version of Lunchables but somehow even lazier. We finished The Bear which is very sad because we loved it but we started a new show called The Other Two & sad news there too, it's only 3 seasons in & it got cancelled. Sad & sad but that's okay because we're Happily Stuck Forever & Always & we hope you enjoyed this week's episode!

We know it's the 4th and everything but our dogs are literally about to have full blown heart attacks from these neighborhood fireworks. You're going to injure yourself or burn somebody's house down so can we leave the firework shows to the professionals!? Kelsea Ballerini is the latest to get hit in the face with a flying object while performing live & Adele is not having it! We loved her little onstage rant and THREAT of violence lol. But seriously, we're all adults. We should know by now that we don't throw things at people. Would you stay in Barbie's dream house? Apparently it's listed on AirBNB now so your dream can come true! We also fill you in on what we're listening to (the NEW Japanese House album - so good, & OMG Speak Now TV comes out on Friday!) and watching (The Bear season 2 is wrecking us in all the right ways).

    Welcome back to HSF&A! Apparently Ali wants to become a makeup artist just so she can give herself faux freckles since she doesn't trust anyone else to do it. Another week, another weird fan interaction onstage. PINK had a bag of ashes thrown at her and now you can take a picture of your food and an app can tell you how many calories it contains? Bryan is skeptical but he wants to try it! This week we're also talking lots of music we're excited about like Valley's newest album that we love and how Cyndi Lauper must be pissed about Lennon Stella covering Time After Time because I'm sorry - it's better than the original. Also, remember when Hoobastank's “The Reason” absolutely swept the nation? More like the entire world. We saw The Flash & it was AWESOME. Thankfully no noisy kids or women in their Mary Poppins snack purse were sitting next to us this time around. & the volume was just right. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode!

    Welcome back to HSF&A! We start this week's episode with a frightening story of how Bryan almost burned the house down COOKING CHICKEN. Ali just learned a couple days ago that Bryan thought her dewy makeup was just Ali's makeup melting off her skin. We also talk about one of Ali's biggest insecurities, being misunderstood and give some hard truths on how to just be the bigger person especially as it relates to comment wars on social media. Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant & announced it in the cutest, most nostalgic way possible. And speaking of Keeping Up, whose side are you on in the Kim vs. Kourt Dolce & Gabbana feud? We're not really on anyone's side but we give our thoughts on copying vs. inspiration. And can we please stop chasing irresponsible viral moments a la the Bebe Rexha phone assault? People are just WAY too desperate for attention these days & it's not okay. Lastly, we watched the Smartless doc & realized Jason Bateman is the older, famous version of Bryan. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode!

We also delve deep into the rumor swirling around that Taylor Swift & Matty Healy called it quits. We better get some good music from this whirlwind romance. We just got back from our family trip in San Diego & our nephews made us feel OLD with how smart they are! Whatever happened to digging holes & making forts for fun? Succession is finally over & we must say, the ending was oh so satisfying. Lastly, we give our thoughts on Apple's new VR Goggles as well as Photoshop Beta's AI Generative Fill tool. Are we looking forward to where tech is taking us or is the future just daunting? I think maybe a bit of both. We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

    Surprise! We decided to record a bonus episode this week after the EXPLOSIVE Vanderpump Rules Season 10 Finale that aired last night. The #Scandoval has finally broken on air and we have lots of thoughts. Does Tom Sandoval regret his actions or is he just sorry he got caught? Does Raquel Leviss understand the weight of her decision to betray her best friend? Are we finally seeing past the lovable golden retriever act Tom Schwartz has put on for years? What we can say for sure is we are still 100% #TeamAriana after last night's episode. Watching Ariana Maddix so articulately rip Sandoval to shreds with her words was gold & the way Katie Maloney & Scheanna Shay pushed their issues aside to have their friend's back was admirable. And somehow James Kennedy still had us giggling during the most dramatic episode of reality television in existence. We hope you enjoyed our very thorough dissection of Bravo history in the making!

    HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY to the Happily Stuck Forever & Always Podcast! First things first, we want to thank YOU for listening in for a whole year! We so appreciate the support - we have so much fun making these episodes for you! This week we discuss what we've learned after podcasting a whole year and of course, since this is a sports podcast we give some very insightful takes on the NBA playoffs. The Joker (the NBA player version) is just AMAZING. We are his number one fans mainly because we don't even understand how he is so good. Are you someone who takes risks with food expiration dates? Bryan does not but Ali takes it to a whole extreme. We also give a very educated breakdown on what it takes to be a big wave surfer because we're on season 2 of 100 Foot Wave. If you haven't watched it, you MUST. Speaking of great TV, the Pump Rules finale is on tonight & Ali hasn't stopped thinking about it for days. Bryan is just as excited. Not really but he will be watching tonight too. Lastly, Bryan has an interesting conspiracy theory about dentist/orthodontists being in cahoots. Hope you enjoyed this very random episode and once again, thank you for a year of listening to HSF&A!

We break down all the hot goss surrounding this rumor and have come to the conclusion that it's either true love, a big troll or publicity because they're writing music together. Either way, Ali is heavily invested and Bryan is too by proxy because it's the only thing Ali thinks about. We are still somehow NBA playoff obsessed and we don't think the obsession is leaving any time soon. Also, did you think Trader Joe's carried “healthier” food than other grocery stores or are we just dumb? Regardless, TJ's has some BOMB steak and seasonings and we know we're late to the party but better late than ever. We love you Trader Joe's. We finish off the podcast with our delicious quesadilla recipe that is so easy but you must try it! Hope you enjoyed episode 52!

Bryan overhears a Sugar Ray song in a show Ali was watching & it turns his day from bad to worse. & we realize how disturbing the lyrics in the first verse are. Speaking of weird lyrics, we also discuss the lyrics in certain songs that make zero sense & for some reason we're all okay with it? We get into our proposal story & watching NBA games - does that make us cool? Ali has a pride problem - she doesn't like participating in activities she's not good at especially if she has an audience. Have you watched Jury Duty or BEEF!?

Also experienced Mount Lemmon like never before & had the most awkward interaction with a server while eating dinner on the last night. Do servers normally tell you to be safe on your way out or did this dude think we were about to drive home tipsy? Spoiler alert, we walked back to our hotel - we would NEVER.

From the long, hard stares we experienced in the most beautiful city called Innsbruck, to the delicious tap water, to the breakfast buffets fit for a king, to the LOUD singing in the middle of the night in Vienna - we've got lots to discuss! Public restrooms were immaculate but does everyone need to smoke cigs at all hours of the day? And thanks so much for seating us without a  reservation but can we please have the check? Oh and can't forget about the absolute idiots trying to get sloshed on our 10 hour flight - that was fun. Hope they got fined.

Is being sick as a man different than how women act when they're unwell? Ali went on a thrift store shopping spree this week and she's got all the tips for trying on clothes out in the open - if you're not afraid to get some strange looks. HUGE announcement: Bryan understands a little bit of the Beyoncé hype, thanks to Ali sharing the Lemonade visual album with him.
