Featuring an unprecedented number of food-related tangents (pickles, grapes, soup, etc.), are our cohosts avoiding an inevitable ending (to their friendship)? Or are they just hungry? Chelsea may lament the fact that Sally ever met Harry, but listeners will thank whatever deity t...

This week on LAFS, our hosts literally and metaphorically go home for the holidays with Single All The Way—Chelsea’s reverse episode pick. They remind everyone that unlike Rudolph, your nose doesn’t need to be in anything this holiday season.

Alright, alright, alright! After a heated debate about sandwiches, Chelsea and Madison enter Matthew McConaughey's rom-com era with Failure to Launch (2006).

Chelsea steers the pod into uncharted waters as cohost Madison steps back from the helm and the duo embarks on their first reverse episode!

Madison has a brief crisis about not vetting this week's sponsor; Chelsea theorizes about the impending W...

Chelsea and Madison apologize profusely to the listener that recommended they watch Rosaline (2022).

Chelsea explores the pitfalls of not taking more creative risks. They rewrite the entire plot of the movie and make it much m...

Opinions clash in the recording studio this week as co-hosts Chelsea and Madison dig into Sweet Home Alabama (2002). Is this Hallmark-esque Reese Witherspoon flick really as sweet as tea in the South?

But at the very least, if nothing else comes of the convers...
