We're off one week and so much happens in between! We're catching up on the stories that captured our attention the last two weeks, from the latest on Gypsy Rose and Britney, to the "unalived" preacher's wife in Myrtle Beach. This week's spotlight moment is a new mom struggling to feel supported by her hubby AND we finally settled on what to call our new segment! (P.S.

We're reclaiming out time from the absolutely unnecessary catch ups with former cast mates and getting into the Love is Blind Reunion so we can finally sleep and stop thinking (and talking) about this show. Until next time, Nick & Vanessa! _______________________________ Need advice? Wondering if you're the asshole or just need to vent?

This thing is, sometimes we miss a week of recording and then we wait to talk about things until we see each other and it can get a bit..chaotic. Also, we were going to split this episode into 2 because it's so long but didn't. We're talking about the BOYZZZZ of it all, royalty conspiracies and giving our breakdowns of the final Love is Blind episodes and all the couples just in time for the reunion. Love you, mean it! _______________________________ Need advice? Wondering if you're the asshole or just need to vent?

Your favorite girlies wouldn't record an episode and then not get around to posting it for a week...would they? We would and we did, so that means y'all are hearing us stress out about things that are already in our rearview mirror. It's still fun and unhinged per usual so listen anyway to help us give advice to a listener, hear our takes on things that have been all over your feeds and a weird new side hustle. 

Would you know a backhanded compliment if you received one? We're sharing some that we've received and maybe dished out, unleash the things bugging us this week and share our UnHiNgEd thoughts on the nest social app...but not before giving some NSFW advice to this week's basically famous listener.

Work, relationships, family - enforcing boundaries is an acquired skill necessary to keep us from losing our shit but man, is it hard! We're addressing a listener's conundrum about a troubled family member, what your hands say about you and whether or not we buy into astrology and horoscopes.

Of course, Oceangate is top of mind for everyone, including us! The irony is that we already had a list of things ocean-related to talk about and the message is clear: The ocean wants us out. We're catching up on our weeks, our inbox and welcoming our new studio dog, Brooks to the mix...Maggie's pissed.

There's a trend on TikTok where people are sharing their partner's "beige flags": Things they do that make you take pause, but aren't break-up worthy. The trend is hilarious so a couple weeks ago we asked listeners on IG what their partners beige flags were and some of these do not dissapoint! We also call Elaine at a very inopportune time to discuss her own beige flag...or is it red?

This week we're catching up on hotline submissions and there seems to be a commonality between most of them...just sayin'. Double lives, lies in the courtroom, misogyny - oy vey.

We're joined this week for a long-overdue gab sash with squat'n watt'n herself and ask her some listener questions about her favorites, her relationship and cringe moments. We also give our thoughts on a real brave AITA submission... Spoiler alert: she's the asshole.

We know, we know....we're not a recap podcast anymore but we've been DYING to break down Scandoval and share our takes on it. Even if you do not watch VPR, we think this is still one you won't want to miss. 

In the second episode of the week (who are we?) we're weighing in on an AITA submission to the hotline and talking internet icks. We all have them and we all know people who are guilty. DO BETTERRRRR....IYKYK. 

We are FINALLY neighbors and it only took three weeks, a lot of headaches and one road rage incident to complete. Hear about the treachery, our thoughts on the TSwift phenomena, Wendy's recap of the ACMA's and a very special cameo!

Our favorite kind of episodes are..unhinged. Maybe it's the stress of moving, or maybe its the fact that this is the 9th week in a row Wendy's been congested, but one things for sure...it's tinkle time!

TO BE FAIR, WE WARNED YOU THIS WOULD DROP LATE! We're back from our travels and catching up on all the things, swapping some stories from our trip and deciding whether or not its ok to correct someone else's children in public.

Comin at ya hot and nasty with another 40 Under 40...give or take an hour. Star of HGTV's Good Bones, Mina Starsiak Hawk joins us this week for an unfiltered look into her life behind the scenes, her bad habits and home decor trends that gotta hit the road. Catch her on the upcoming season of Good Bones, her new podcast, Mina AF and @mina_starsiak_hawk. _______________________________ Need advice? Wondering if you're the asshole or just need to vent?
