They discuss the culture of Venmo and how it’s transformed how we relate to our friends owing us money and exposes people who are cheap. Finally, they take a few letters, including one where a listener’s boyfriend’s sister owes her money.

Jordana and Sami start off talking Vanderpump Rules. Did Scheana finally wake up to reality? Do Jax and Brittany really love each other? After, they move on to Instagram Stories.

Sami quips that they're special because the engagement is between "you and your DMs." They discuss the sincerity and earnestness of the Insta Story. Sure, some of it is real, but some of it is puffery. What's definitely real is that Sami is afraid of Jordana's judgment.
