    You know when you're really bad at texting back, and then most of your replies to your friend end up becoming "oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I totally typed out a reply and forgot to send." That's what this episode was. We recorded it a while ago, but then someone (Halle) really dragged her feet on editing because she was getting annoyed by audio issues again. Yes, it's a tale as old as time. She's not working on it. This episode starts with a bang where Hannah and Halle have completely forgotten how to introduce it. The rest, I don't even know. Enjoy!!!

    Yeah, they're talking about smut books again. But what Halle insists is in a really cool and tasteful way (it is not). In other new, Hannah continues to flaunt her social media break, and Halle details yet another man calling her a narcissist. Can we blame him? She writes these descriptions in third person. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebeefspecial/message

    Listen. This was recorded a while ago, but Halle could not figure out Reaper to save her life. She lost the end of the recording and tried to redo it as if it was never gone but she's not an actor so she had to fess up. But whatever! It's here! The very first episode recorded in person now that Hannah and Halle live together. They give a little synopsis on what they've been up to and then maybe get into some beef? Who knows. Listen to find out. Love you. Tootles

    Say it ain't so. An episode? While Halle is galivanting around Spain? I know I know. She's so generous to edit this. The reality is she is ill and bored and missed the poddy. And this episode was supposed to come out before she left on her big adventure, but as always, life gets in the way. Regardless, it's here! And it delves into Halle's TikTok comment section, Keke Palmer's penniless baby daddy, and Jonah Hill's toxic therapy speak. Hope you enjoy

    Blame Tears of the Kingdom for this episode being late. Halle's on a bender and there's no end in sight. Anyway, this episode features a lot of celeb drama, specifically around Kiley and Timmy and Sydney Sweeney and whatever the other guy's name is. We get into it all or as much as we can given how much time we spent going over our celebrity crush rating system. Hope you enjoy

    Content warning: anime cringe. We're kidding. It doesn't get that bad, but Hannah and Halle do admit to having read anime fan fiction, so does it really get worse than that? Not sure. This episode also features beef from a lovely listener and is about one of Hannah and Halle's favorite topics to give unsolicited advice on: dating. Sure there are some other things discussed in between, but I can't recall them so clearly they're not as important.

    In this week's episode, Hannah relays her TSA PreCheck troubles, Halle (fresh off of Hinge) hashes out her online dating pet peeves, and the two briefly discuss irony poisoning before severely veering off the subject. This episode was recorded after Halle's post-therapy session come down so there was a lot on her mind, as always. Some rants made it, some didn't. Just the name of the game.

    I know, I know. I can see you're overcome with excitement seeing that we have finally released an episode. Wipe those tears of joy and strap in for Season 2 of The Beef Special. It's going to be insane and by that, I mean relatively similar to the last season. Except now we'll have some guests! But in this first episode, we're kicking things off with the usual suspects. Hannah and Halle recount Hannah's bender of a birthday where Halle details the jealous(?) glares from all the local brewery patrons. Hannah discusses her unusual bug sightings and the two talk about jealousy in its many forms, with expected tangents in between.

    This was meant to be an anti-beef special episode that we recorded a couple of weeks ago, but the topics were so random it didn't even feel like part of the podcast. I was honestly not going to publish this, but after seeing the Spotify Wrapped I found the much-needed motivation to get it out there. I know we're not going back to regular episodes until the new year, but hopefully this will tie you over until then. In all seriousness, thank you for listening.

    Our worst fears came true. Halle continues her manifestation by being the biggest baby recovering from the flu, as she has to make sure you know how sicky she is. Hannah...oh Hannah and her introspective beef. In true INFJ fashion, she makes it abundantly clear that she is the most tortured soul in existence. How does she ever get anything done? The two then discuss the 'misery loves company' side of Twitter as if they don't actively engage in it. Their cognitive dissonance knows no bounds. Hope you enjoy

    Disclaimer: Halle had the flu while recording this episode, which means she was in her weakest form. And her weakest form oddly resembles that of a man: talks too much, brags about how much money they make, and laughs in just a god-awful manner. It's horrifying and sometimes funny. She made a plea to rerecord this episode which she herself denied. Odd and yet fitting for the male persona. If she does not recover soon, we fear we may lose her forever. God knows the last thing we need is one more man in this world. Anyway, Hannah was at peak performance, as always. And Riley submitted beef which was, similar to this episode description, longer than what it needed to be.

    In this episode, we polled listeners and friends to get their thoughts on the rights and wrongs of snooping through a partner's phone. Hannah and Halle shared some of their own experiences on the subject that will probably make you think less of them. Honorable mention goes to Halle for laughing so hard that she cried during this episode. For what reason, you ask? Herself. A bit narcissistic, I know. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thebeefspecial/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thebeefspecial/support

    Do people read these? The way the entire contents of the episode escape my mind after we record them actually scares me. What did I say? I don't fucking know.
