Episodes

16: Beige Flags 13.06.2023

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?

15: Loser Men 06.06.2023

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.

14: Scared Shitless w/ Elaine 03.06.2023

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.

13: Basics > Extras: Tom Sucks 24.05.2023

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. 

12: Internet Icks 18.05.2023

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. 

11: Uhaul Wars 16.05.2023

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!

10: Hung for the Holidays 02.05.2023

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!

9: Not Another Late Episode 29.04.2023

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.
