Raising Barbara Jean and Wanda

We asked ChatGPT to tell us three things about ourselves we don't know — and it read us so hard we nearly cried on mic. 🤖 Kila & Ashley take the viral "ask your AI what it really thinks of you" trend live, mid-episode, and it comes back with answers about resilience, humor, and turning pain into purpose that neither of us saw coming.

Ashley breaks down what she learned from ADHD 2.0 (turns out ADHD brains only know two times: "now" and "not now") and how it affects us all. Plus the Hibach...

We're back after a month off — Kila had pneumonia (three shots, a round of steroids, and still wheezing), Ashley is deep in menopause hell, and Aniston's Mother's Day Photoshop of her mama as a 250-lb trailer-park queen with a brown-filter cigarette is officially the cover of Ashley's future memoir.
