Ashley is finally back! We celebrate with tons of tangents and some extra chatter. There are jokes, but also very serious moments where we discuss current events impacting women's rights. It's been a tough couple of weeks. We hope this episode gives you a moment (or 2 hours) of joy during these trying times. Love you, chatterboxes.
Ashley is still OOO (our figurative podcast office. She is away on business, so very much in the figurative office office), so I (Lara) am joined by my husband and fellow Survivor fan, Matt to discuss Episode 9 of Survivor season 42!

Of course, we also share our weekly luxury items including a joint item - couples therapy! We talk all about our j0uRnEy and why we recommend it to everyone! If you aren't a Survivor fan but just want to hear our dirty laundry, that convo starts around 1:30.

We're almost to the finish line and we're here to break down the penultimate episode of Survivor Season 41. After last week's epic tribal discussion on how race and diversity play a part in the game of Survivor (and real life) we continue our discussion on these topics. As usual, we are trying our best to talk about this with the nuance it deserves and we appreciate your patience as we often stumble through it. But also - our take on the Sex and the City reboot, DVD box sets, and that time Ashley knocked someone's teeth out.
Another new twist, but more importantly an impactful conversation about diversity within Survivor. Plus, out thoughts on Clayton on the state of Bachelor nation.
