Let's Blame Michael Jackson - Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria Oct 23, 2026

Show notes

We are mixing things up this week (aka pushing the hotline caller to next week) because Rach just couldn't wait to overshare on the internet. Rach and Jeri talk a LOT about the state of Wisconsin and they hate every second of it. Piper gives us all a new vocal stim before we get into the meat this week: Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria.

Do you think the only thing better than rejection is death? Does your skin catch on fire over a minor mistake? Are you neurospicy and want some co-miseration? Than boy do we have the episode for you! Rach leads the episode with some (boots on the ground) research she's done to help define an experience that has shaped her entire life. Drop allll the comments if you can relate.

HOTLINE CALLER #17 - Preparing for Postpartum Round 2 Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

For once in our lives our intro banter has basically one theme - to jury or not to jury?? Once we sufficiently express how excellent Rach would be as a part of the criminal justice system, we head into our hotline caller!

Lane is pregnant and due any day with baby #2! She wants to know what advice we have for preparing for postpartum, especially after dealing with depression with her first. Rach and Jeri give their perspective and experiences, and try to give some tips on how she might be able to make this process easier as she enters this exciting but unpredictable chapter. Bottom line - GOOD LUCK LANE!!

HOTLINE CALLER #16 - Age Gaps in Dating Sep 11, 2026

Time blindness, run-ins with the supernatural, and a potential avocado vandal is on the rise. The intro banter is bantering before we get into this week's hotline episode.

When You Give A Pirate Provisions - Bizarre Federal Crimes Sep 04, 2026

We interrupt our typical content for... whatever this episode turned out to be. The first half of the episode we go for a long tangent about parenting, and give some kid updates for ya! The meat this week is reading and reacting to bizarre federal crimes we found on the internet. Can dentures cross state lines? Would selling a Woodsy the Owl shirt land you in jail? And most importantly... can you feed a pirate?? Come along on this lighthearted and fun episode with us and learn some shit you will most likely forget in 3 business days.

HOTLINE CALLER #15 - Horrible Bosses Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

The truth comes out... Rach is a hisser, Jeri is a little addict, and they can't agree on whether Jeri should have twins or not. Our hotline emailer, "Allie" wrote to us about a work dilemma and toxic work atmosphere. Rach and Jeri give their two cents, and go on plenty of tangents along the way. Long story short - we should never work for people who make us feel like we are walking on eggshells, and sacrificing your peace for too long will leave lasting trauma (so GTFO, girl!!!).
