Basically Famous

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.

Spencer found herself in a hairy situation this week and Wendy finally comes clean about her own gross girl habit. We're also talking tramp stamps, assholes on the internet and OF COURSE the #scandoval which lead us to the question: what exactly IS girl code and how many of us are guilty of breaking it? _______________________________ Need advice?
