Wendy did her homework this week and has a lot to say about a couple of last week's topics and we commiserate with our single gals about the treachery that is dating - particularly, dating via the internet.

19: Strawberry Yum Yum Jul 25, 2023

Your favorite girlies wouldn't record an episode and then not get around to posting it for a week...would they? We would and we did, so that means y'all are hearing us stress out about things that are already in our rearview mirror. It's still fun and unhinged per usual so listen anyway to help us give advice to a listener, hear our takes on things that have been all over your feeds and a weird new side hustle.

18: (Hanging on by) Threads Jul 11, 2023

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.

18: Boundaries Jul 05, 2023

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.

17: Alexa, Play "No Air" Jun 26, 2023

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.

16: Beige Flags Jun 13, 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 Jun 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 Jun 03, 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 May 24, 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 May 18, 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 May 16, 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 May 02, 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 Apr 29, 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.

8: Butt Stuff w/ Mina Starsiak Hawk Apr 18, 2023

Comin at ya hot and nasty with another 40 Under 40...give or take an hour.
