I Have A Story For You

21. Clearing The Bench (Season 1 Finale) Jul 22, 2020

In the Season 1 Finale, the ladies reveal the origin story of the podcast, recap their beloved benches, and decide who needs to get traded. Their benches have accumulated a ghost, zombie, nice guy, tootsie pop, and a pilot or two, and the girls meet to decide who will make it into next season’s starting lineup. Celine tried to defend a ‘how’s your day' text, but things get uncomfortably heated as Angie and Amber aren’t having it (Angie even brings in the big guns and references Matthew Hussey... #WWMHD). Will Angie text the guys back, will Celine start her bench, and will Amber commit some starters? Also, there is a super special bench update for Casey that of course involves a helicopter (we’d expect nothing less). We've learned not to cross stitch or make chicken noodle soup, but listen in to find out what else the girls are taking away from this first season. Be sure to follow on the gram at @ihaveastorypodcast, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, and follow on Spotify to be SURE you don't miss the start of Season 2... we'll be back soon, Squad! #WELUVU

As you heard in this episode, Casey offered to match the cost of he and Alana’s helicopter date with a donation to charity. Casey’s donation will go to Susan G. Komen, which saves lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer. To learn more and make a donation yourself, you can visit komen.org.

20. All About Reality TV... From The Temptress Herself! Jul 15, 2020

Katheryn Golden from Temptation Island joins the girls to chat all about the reality TV show that kicked off her rise to fame (and her hometown scandal behind it all), the inside scoop about what goes on behind the scenes of reality TV, Temptation drama (and who has BROKEN UP since her season ended!!!!), and so much more! Katheryn sticks around to hear all about Angie’s birthday weekend (that she ditched)… and Katheryn’s policy against boyfriends being allowed on Broadway is reaffirmed by an alarming story from Celine’s past. This episode is #unofficiallysponsored by birthday balloons… listen in to hear why!

18. The Roast Jul 08, 2020

Angie gets roasted for her Type 1 outbursts, includer tendencies, and habit of calling out dudes on their dating app matches. She admits she has no filter, and Amber and Celine can’t WAIT to get to embarrass her in return (or grab her a muzzle). The girls have an update on Casey’s dating life and revisit the topic of co-ed friends (a saga). Celine has a new bench member from those slippery DMs, and the ladies debate whether or not being called “cute” is a deal breaker… do we now know for SURE why Angie’s single? Angie announces her scouting plan for @bnacarpet to be a part of the Story Squad (side note, for a fun drinking game, take a shot for every time she says BNA carpet)... but the most important update of this episode is about who’s the biggest ghost of all ghosts.

17. I Like My Girls A Little Bit Older… The Young Guns Jul 01, 2020

The girls share their newfound love for Black Label Trulys (#unofficialsponsor) and their role in the past weekend’s activities, which included Amber falling off of a log at a waterfall and Angie trying to get down a river without a paddle. Amber introduces (via shout-out) Farm Boy, who seemed to be into her even though he was a decade younger... AND Amber took a shit in the woods on their first encounter. The girls discuss the pros and cons of younger guys and how Baseball Boy might be on the way to losing his bench spot. Angie is now killing the game after her intervention, and the girls seem to have differing opinions on dating virgins. Is Amber at risk of making another cross stitch mistake? Angie’s still pissed that Hollywood producers were filming Vanderpump Rules instead of the Nashville server scene cirque-early 2010’s (...a saga).

16. Angie's Getting Married! Jun 24, 2020

The ladies sip on their fav $7 champagne (#unofficialsponsor) for not only Celine’s birthday (even though we all KNOW that diva isn’t drinking it), but Casey is back in town AND Angie met her future husband. They break down the details of running into Ouchebag, having a Bumble fiasco, and Amber falling on grenades first - but Angie finally met him! Get your drinks ready to celebrate with her (and take some shots) as they introduce Baseball Boy to her starting lineup. ATTN Squad: Make sure to get in touch with the girls to weigh in about whether or not Cinnamon can still be the star of the podcast AND let them know if you want to be considered for Casey’s next first date on a helicopter ride wherever you live. Casey will donate the equivalent of the cost of the date to a charity of our choice!

15. What’s The Deal With Celery Juice?! Jun 17, 2020

The ladies are joined by Leigh “Taylor” Richardson to hear about how celery juice and following the suggested practices of @MedicalMedium have changed her life. The girls are on board and have all been juicing celery on the reg since recording this episode (you will be too). Amber fills the group in on her recent struggles of dealing with her vanity, being challenged with sunburns and tan lines from granny panty swimsuit bottoms while visiting a guy… and why Gold Bond, plus self tanner, plus another layer of Gold Bond... while peeling and trying to be sexy in white sheets... might not be such a great idea.

14. Love and Dating… Coach Us Plz! Jun 10, 2020

Love and dating coach Natasha Virdy created her own methodology to help single women stop attracting the wrong guys and how to be ready to receive the right man in their lives; so although they are distracted by Star Wars characters, sweet tea vodka (sponsor us plz), and Angie’s new perfect margarita, they dive into topics like how to manifest your true love (hopefully without kissing too many frogs along the way), soul mates, and twin flames. Amber updates us on her bench and how she ended things with White Bread (aka Vanilla, aka Steady Eddy). She announces that her favorite dates were’t from any dating apps at all but were results of her sliding into the DMs (and of course Tortuga)… patent on the process to follow ;). Amber admits her mess-ups in bringing gift baskets too soon in the past, and Angie is getting clearer in her communication with the universe to manifest love... because she is done kissin’ frogs.

13. Being Unapologetically You with Miss Minnesota May 27, 2020

The girls chat with former Miss Minesota Lucia Arseni, a smoke show Eastern European, who explains how she is living and loving life being unapologetically herself. They discuss the importance of being extra or glam for yourself and not others... and being comfortable every day in your own skin. They determine that you should only buy labels if you truly appreciate couture, you should be the same kind of confident in a onesie or red bottoms, and you gotta own it when you make a decision for your look each day. Lucia breaks down her bench and the criteria for the players on it, and they discuss the trouble (or not) with vanity during quarantine.

12. Trauma Therapy IRL (Part 2 of 2) May 20, 2020

A continuation from last week’s convo, the girls chat further with Trauma Therapist Alix Sugarman. Do you Netflix and chill foreverrrrrr when you get married? What voice in our head are we dismissing on a daily basis when it comes to dating? Amber gets credit for being a respectful dater, and we discuss (for better or worse) how our choices in relationships correlate with the comfort found in the experiences of our past. We talk about suppressed memories… should we be digging them up? Let’s find out!

New vocab for this week: Steady Eddy: noun. informal. A guy who is just as vanilla as he is white bread.

Trauma Therapist Alix Sugarman Zooms in to chat about finding her voice as a therapist and to weigh in on some of the girls’ ‘I’m fine’ moments. They normalize some of the hardships we all struggle with on the reg, and Alix gives the girls tools and insight about how to be good friends and listeners. Alix also provides some tools for checking in with ourselves and our bodies when trauma and painful memories come up. Is it normal to bring up past traumatic experiences all the time, even though they’re not technically still bothering you? Do we as women need to challenge the subconscious programming about how we present ourselves in this world? Tune in to find out!

07. Rando Sesh May 06, 2020

In the most random episode ever (sorry not sorry), the girls talk about using their movie marathons as excuses to get out of “marathon dates” and phone calls. Angie tells about jumping on the Vanderpump Rules train and reminisces about her restaurant drama days… and the (oldie but goodie?) show gives her hope for the crazy kind of love. Amber believes in herself and knows that she is setting a higher standard for her dates and guys, but her dreams of being able to pull off a hat are dead. They tell about having to get some thick skin to hang with certain toothless bullies and that well, sometimes you gotta ditch your champagne and get outta there (only if the bottle is under $7 though). The girls also discuss how to handle out of town gentlemen visitors… and is Angie going to make them sleep in the guest room??

06. Zombies in Quarantine (Part 2 of 2) Apr 29, 2020

The girls continue their conversation from last week, discussing how the quarantine has turned into the new “holiday,” bringing back all the zombies (the guys who were once just ghosting but are now resurrecting from the dead)… but they also reveal their own zombie habits. In more pressing matters, Angie’s been single for like seven years and needs a date... so we recap the dates of 2020 and discuss the annoying popularity (or skillful act) of using social media and still not texting back. The girls debate what’s actually the right way to let a new relationship fizzle out... do we all turn into ghosts???

Celine shares that she LITERALLY got taken out of the microwave, and she tells the tales of the boys who have ghosted and are now resurrecting from the dead in quarantine - turning into full-blown zombies.

04. It's Hard to Date in Nashville! Apr 15, 2020

The girls chat with their friends Eric and Ryan to get the guys’ perspectives about dating in the ‘big city but small town’ of Nashville… Is chivalry dead in a world with endless options of Insta-famous hotties and non-committal musicians? How can we make convo at Target… or at the gym, when everyone has earbuds in?! Eric and Ryan share the love stories of their parents’ and grandparents’ meeting too (awwwwww right!?!?).

The girls and their guy friend Casey McKibben swap stories about first dates in helicopters, best first impressions and catfishes, why you should always FaceTime before meeting someone (because you have no idea the eyebrow situation you are walking into), how they feel about traveling with ‘just friends’ of the opposite sex, and why tootsie pops are not good flower substitutes.
