S5 Ep. 36 - Raw Dogging Nostalgia and Dale's Dating Game 03.11.2026 37:04
Dale is ready to cancel half of reality television, and Rachel has some thoughts. From The Voice and American Idol to Dancing with the Stars and The Challenge , they're questioning whether talent still matters or if social media followers are running the show. Naturally, the conversation turns into a heated debate over Grease versus Grease 2 before Rachel brings back her favorite segment, “Wh...
S5 Ep. 35 - THC Maxx and the Dating Olympics 27.10.2026 35:13
Rachel has officially taken retail therapy to a whole new level. Between her adventures at “THC Maxx,” late-night TikTok Shop purchases, and a bedtime routine involving mouth tape, a silk bonnet, earplugs, and a weighted sleep mask, Dale is questioning everything about her lifestyle. And just when he thinks things can't get any stranger, Rachel announces she's preordered a Bernedoodle na...
S5 Ep. 34 - Grown, Sexy, and Stuck in the 90s 20.10.2026 37:11
After 30 years of friendship, Dale finally calls Rachel sexy, and she's not about to let him forget it. The conversation quickly moves from Rachel's reconstructed boobs to Pauly D's engagement, their shared obsession with Jersey Shore, and Rachel's determination to finally meet her favorite DJ. Then it's time to break down the Big Brother finale, including Dee's elimi...
S5 Ep. 33 - What in the News Is Going On 13.10.2026 38:43
Dale and Rachel have a lot of questions about what's happening in the world, and Dale's brand-new news segment is delivering stories nobody could make up. A mom allegedly leaves her three kids home alone to take a cruise, a woman sues a Las Vegas nightclub after getting injured riding a mechanical penis, and an intoxicated airline passenger takes her in-flight entertainment way too far....
S5 Ep. 32 - Sleepaway Camp, Twerking, and Zero Letters Home 06.10.2026 34:44
Rachel sent her nine year old to sleepaway camp for seven weeks and quickly discovered her daughter was doing just fine without her. No letters home, no missing her parents, and absolutely no electronics. Instead, she became color war captain, started her own nightly “Sienna Show,” and apparently taught an entire group of kids how to twerk. Her one visiting day request? Penne alla vodka and McDona...
S5 Ep. 31 - Gym Etiquette and Bathroom Emergencies 29.09.2026 45:39
What do you do when you’re a guest in someone’s house, use the bathroom, and the toilet absolutely refuses to flush? Rachel and Dale tackle the nightmare scenario, which somehow leads to farting during physical therapy, whether you can ever show your face again afterward, and Janine revealing an actual bathroom disaster involving a toilet brush that never needed to happen. Then it’s time for gym g...
S5 Ep. 30 - Big Brother Got Way Too Suggestive 22.09.2026 41:20
Dale and Rachel are deep into Big Brother , but one competition has them questioning what exactly they were watching on primetime television. Between the hip thrusting, extremely committed tongue work, and camera angles nobody asked for, Rachel now knows way too much about the contestants. They break down their favorites, Dale’s connection to Dee, and whether they can convince her to come on the p...
S5 Ep. 29 - Steve Aoki Caked Dale at the World Cup 15.09.2026 44:32
Dale and Rachel are back for season five, and apparently Dale spent his summer getting internationally caked in the face by Steve Aoki. He breaks down his World Cup hosting gig, why he personally supplied the Publix cake, the ridiculous amount of approval it took to get it thrown at his face, and what it was like hosting soccer fans from around the world. Rachel has a major summer update of her ow...
S4 Ep. 28 - Baby Jessica Got Arrested and Rachel Got a Book Deal 26.05.2026 35:38
Then the headlines come in hot: TSA officers at Miami International got caught stealing wallets mid-screening in a coordinated distraction scheme, a nurse wins $300K from Carnival for being over-served tequila over nine hours on a cruise (14 shots, grown adult, still won), Baby Jessica from the Texas well incident grew up and got arrested for domestic assault, a Boca woman crashed into a school bu...
S4 Ep. 27 - The Boca E-Bike Incident and Dale's Stingy Instagram Grid 19.05.2026 33:56
Things kick off with a full breakdown of the e-bike drama taking over Boca. A middle-aged man threw water bottles at a kid, grabbed his phone, and somehow rallied a crowd of neighbors like he put out a bat signal. Rachel and Amy unpack why this guy isn't in handcuffs, what it means for every teen in the community, and why e-bikes in the hands of unsupervised kids are a whole separate problem...
S4 Ep. 26 - The $500 He Never Asked For Back 12.05.2026 42:13
Dale has been sitting on a $500 loan for almost a year, has seen the guy in person, and still hasn't said a word. Rachel and Amy Lundy — creator of MOABs, the Mother of All Baby Showers, and today's in-studio guest — talk him into sending a Venmo request like a normal person. He won't. Meanwhile, Rachel's daughter crashes the call-in line, reports on the missing hair dryer, eat...
S4 Ep. 25 - Bring Your Child to Work Day With a Nine Year Old Who Has No Filter 05.05.2026 38:38
Rachel's youngest crashes the pod on Bring Your Child to Work Day, and the nine-year-old wastes zero time fact-checking adults, interrupting tangents, and quietly stealing the episode. The trio covers Justin Bieber's Coachella laptop loophole, why he couldn't legally sing his own songs live, and whether Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter's collab was genius or just a little too forc...
S4 Ep. 24 - Red Flags, Crocs, and a Bad Connections 21.04.2026 33:36
Rachel posted what she thought was a hilarious reel of her daughter breaking every rule at a dog adoption event — finger in every single cage — and one pointed comment was enough to put a pit in her stomach and make her take it down. Dale gets it. The whole thing spirals into a real conversation about how one contrarian comment can ruin your day even when you know it's just someone looking fo...
S4 Ep. 23 - $100 Hot Dogs and Our First Guest Call Ins 14.04.2026 37:52
Dale and Rachel kick things off with some truly questionable food trends, including a $100 hot dog covered in caviar and gold, fair food debates, and a passionate takedown of white chocolate. Somewhere between Biscoff funnel cake cravings and Hot Cheetos dumplings, things go exactly where you’d expect and also nowhere you’d predict. Then they try something new and bring listeners into the show liv...
S4 Ep. 22 - Dale's Germaphobia Gets The Best of Him at E11EVEN in Miami 07.04.2026 38:31
Dale and Rachel kick things off with a full in-studio moment featuring their sponsor finally showing up in person, complete with a custom jingle and a little champagne energy to match. What starts as catching up with an old friend turns into a surprisingly honest conversation about personal injury law, billboards, and why people only appreciate lawyers when they actually need one. From there, thin...
S4 Ep. 21 - Why The Bachelorette Was Canceled Last Minute 31.03.2026 39:06
Dale and Rachel get right into the chaos around The Bachelorette getting pulled just days before it was supposed to air, and they have a lot of thoughts. From messy casting decisions to whether the network knew more than they let on, they break down how it all unfolded and what could have been done differently. It turns into a bigger conversation about reality TV, accountability, and how far shows...
S4 Ep. 20 - Would You Ever Take a Bath in a Hotel Tub? 24.03.2026 35:01
Dale and Rachel start off with a debate that quickly spirals into a full germaphobe confession session. From hotel carpets to shared bathtubs and those mystery shampoo bottles mounted in the shower, they compare their personal travel habits and the lengths they’ll go to avoid other people’s germs. Let’s just say hotel flip flops, towel walkways, and strong opinions about public hygiene all make an...
S4 Ep. 19 - Are Your Quirks Actually OCD 17.03.2026 34:26
Dale starts things off with a story about a friendship that abruptly ended after he gave some blunt advice about dating patterns. What he thought was an honest moment between friends quickly escalated into someone deciding the friendship should end altogether, which leads to a conversation about how honesty, tone in text messages, and personal insecurities can completely change how things are rece...
S4 Ep. 18 - The Curious Case of the Disappearing Condoms 10.03.2026 36:52
Dale and Rachel start out talking Olympics drama, curling controversy, and the fact that 10,000 condoms disappeared in three days at the Village. But as usual, the jokes lead somewhere deeper. Rachel also shares her first experience at Buc-ee's. The conversation starts with Buc-ee's famous brisket sandwiches and takes a tangent into reality show chaos, and a very real rant about parents...
S4 Ep. 17 - Why We Need To Cancel Valentine’s Day 03.03.2026 46:38
Rachel and Dale are not buying the hype when it comes to Valentine’s Day. The whole thing feels like a setup, the pressure is weird, the restaurants are overpriced, and somehow you are still expected to post a perfect little highlight reel like everyone else. From there, they get into the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime performance and how the reaction to it says more about people than the show itse...
S4 Ep. 16 - If You Have to Leave a List for Your Husband, That’s a Problem 24.02.2026 36:48
A viral video about wives leaving their husbands a checklist for watching their own kids turns into a real conversation about parenting, partnership, and what it actually means to split the load. Rachel is clear. A husband is not a babysitter. If you have to explain how to feed your own child, something is off. They get into gambling with your life for money, car wash price gouging, why some peopl...
S4 Ep. 15 - When Sharing Too Much Goes Sideways 17.02.2026 37:58
Rachel and Dale start from a simple question they have lived out for years. They have never crossed the platonic line. That somehow opens the door to everything else. Boundaries that feel blurry. Oversharing that turns private moments into content. Parenting in the age of social media. Period parties. Sonograms online. New slang that makes adults feel old overnight. And the quiet pressure to post...
S4 Ep. 14 - Uncle Dale Reporting for Duty to Parent Rachel's Teenager 10.02.2026 41:09
Rachel and Dale are basically walking proof that a long friendship can stay truly platonic, but we still have to ask the obvious question. Is that rare for a reason, or are people just messy with boundaries. We start with real life stuff like parenting a teenager and trying to keep your cool without losing your mind, then we get into the kind of family dynamics that can quietly ruin a relationship...
S4 Ep. 13 - What Is the Right Thermostat Temperature for a Relationship? 03.02.2026 38:06
Rachel and Dale start with a very serious debate about air conditioning etiquette and what counts as “acceptable” when it comes to temperature, then spiral into snow angels, South Florida winters, and whether TikTok is ruining everyone’s attention span. Rachel’s daughter joins the chaos with peak teen honesty, including what’s officially cringy, what’s not, and why adults love acting like their er...
S4 Ep. 12 - Reborn Dolls, Rude Servers, and the Weirdest Holiday Conversations 13.01.2026 37:14
Rachel and Dale kick off the holiday stretch the way they do best, by spiraling through the strange headlines and the everyday moments that somehow say a lot about people. They start with the story of a woman who faked an entire pregnancy with a reborn doll, then bounce through a service that roasts your boss for you, a revenge spray paint moment that is honestly unforgettable, and why people feel...
