Something About Sid The Sloth - Rach's Birthday Episode Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

We decided to cheer things up this week in honor of Rach's birthday/to recover from last week's really heavy episode! The girls start off with an update on Rach's emotional state, admitting some of their favorite guilty pleasures, and Rach pops off about her favorite sport - Formula 1 racing. The girls exchange their earliest embarrassing moment stories - send us yours so we can read them in an upcoming ep!
The meat this week is an AITA birthday edition! We read a couple reddit threads and share our opinions on them, and we do a bit of a deep dive into Rach's psyche behind why she secretly hates celebrating her birthday. Jess surprises her at the end with the most thoughtful gift imaginable, and (surprise surprise) Rach sheds some tears again.

The Pork Chop - Grief + Loss with Meg Nye Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

**CW: Death, suicide, grief are the subject of this episode starting at 31:21** We are so excited to finally introduce our good friend Meg Nye on this week's (very heavy and verrrry long) episode of the pod. Meg is one of the funniest people we know, and is here to tell her story and provide guidance for this highly requested episode. Before we get into the real tough meat this week, the girls banter in typical FB&W fashion. Jess tells her and Meg's origin story, Rach comes clean about her FYP, and the girls go on a long tangent about technology and social media and how it has affected our lives and society.
Our topic this week is a heavy one, and one we want everyone to approach cautiously and when you are in the right headspace - your mental health is the most important! This episode is really long, but is filled with honest conversations specifically regarding losing loved ones to suicide. Meg tells the story of losing her best friend, her heartache with that, and the wisdom she is able to provide is truly unmatched. Rach opens up about her struggles with self-harm, suicide and depression. And Jess shares some heartbreaking news that happened in her family over our break between season 1 and 2. There are plenty of tears shed this episode, so make sure you are in a safe space to listen and absorb. This is a really freaking good one, and all the credit goes to Meg being willing to share her story and love for Jenny. Let's all have a peanut butter cup in her memory.
If you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of self harm or suicide. PLEASE reach out to a loved one or the National Suicide Hotline - 800-273-8255.
We love you.

For Better & Tangents // Ladies & Worse Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

What happens when Jess gets sick and we need a last minute fill in?? JERI HAPPENS THATS WHAT. So welcome to an episode where Rach sits and talks to her other best friend and podcast superstar, Jeri of Ladies & Tangents. Rach tells yet another embarrassing story from her past, and forces Jeri into a segment she calls, "making Jeri do British accents with Love Island slang". How many regions in the UK can Jeri take us to? Infinite. How many times does Rach attempt and fail at a British accent? You'll have to listen to find out! Rach and Jeri read some wedding AITA (am I the asshole) Reddit threads and give their two cents as wedding professionals. Get ready for a super fun episode with lots of laughs, TMI moments, and plenty of opinions on assholes.
If you've been living under a rock and haven't listened to Ladies & Tangents yet, make sure to follow along with them AND buy tickets to their Moment House live show on December 7th!! Jeri (and Ciara) we fucking love you and thanks for being our friends. We are so proud of you!

Yours Be Poppin - Green Flags Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

The FB&W gals are back with another episode full of semi-solicited advice and weird sexual confessions. Jess talks about her trip to Nashville, and Rach reflects on a suppressed memory from her time in Austin a few months ago. Rach is back with some top quality content for the 'Shit Josh Says" segment, and a SFOTW. Jess has to come clean about spreading false killer whale content last week, and tells the true story of Keiko (spoiler, it almost made the whale hater Rach cry). The meat of this episode is all about GREEN flags for relationships/dating life. Jess and Rach get personal this episode about applying these to their own lives, and will hopefully provide some insight to you on what to look for in your next relationship, or maybe its time to *take a peek* at your relationship now.

Loose Meat - SZN 2 Premiere Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

GUESS WHO'S BACK (back back) BACK AGAIN!! The For Better & Worse gals are BACK and better than ever after over a month off! Dang - we missed ya. Jess and Rach play a big ol' game of catch-up since they hadn't seen one another since the last time they sat down to record. So get ready for some serious tangents and small talk. Jess is a big show girl now and Rach proves she is as irrelevant as ever. Rach talks about her recent travels and what adventuring with an Enneagram 6 looks like... and then the girls get into the loose-meat for this episode where they rant/share their "hot takes" for you guys. How do we feel about the insta-worthy dip kisses? Did Jess share one of the worst opinions of all time? And what the ever loving hell was wrong with the writers and producers of Free Willy?? Toward the end of the episode the girls get real about people pleasing, and have an honest conversation about their stances on it and how it can be harmful, and the reasons why we do it. This episode may be loose but its packed with goodies for ya'll and we hope you enjoy! See you NEXT WEEK.
