Kristy's Headed to South Africa, Lioness Is Losing Toes & We Have A LOT to Talk About Sep 14, 2026

Send us Fan Mail

Before Kristy heads to South Africa for her bucket-list adventure (and we take a two-week podcast hiatus!), there is A LOT to talk about.

We recap a wild week at the US Open, including Ben Shelton's incredible run, the late-night matches, celebrity sightings and, of course, Jalen Brunson somehow being EVERYWHERE. From the US Open to Madison Square Garden to SNL… we cannot escape him — and we're totally fine with it. 😂

Then there's Alex Earle. We revisit the ending of her Netflix show, the Braxton Berrios/Landon drama and why we are still rooting for Braxton. Plus, Martha Stewart makes an appearance on The Real Housewives of New York, and we have questions about everything happening over there.

We're also talking about:

📺 The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — it's back and we're officially hooked
📺 Lioness — will they EVER rescue Joe?! And yes… there is a missing toe
📺 Crew Girl — why we wanted to love it but just… don't
📺 Big Brother — the gameplay is actually GOOD this season
📺 Ransom Canyon getting canceled (and our outrage!)
🎵 Ted Lasso, Olivia Dean & the one song that makes you HAVE to jump
❤️ Andy Cohen's daughter Lucy and the “grandpa” moment
👑 Judge Judy's retirement
👶 Lady Gaga becoming a mom
✈️ Kristy's South Africa countdown, packing stress, wine, chocolate & Michelin-starred restaurants

And before we go, we're playing “9/11: Before or After?” — five pop-culture moments that will make you realize just how much time has passed since September 11, 2001.

Plus, some laughs, some nostalgia, some very real conversation… and one last glass raised before a two-week break.

We'll miss you — but don't worry. We'll still be hanging out on Instagram while Kristy is off chasing elephants. 🐘❤️

Listen now, and while we're gone, catch up on some old episodes and tell a friend about WN2T!

We Need 2 Talk About Turning 60, Alex Earle & $100 Nuggets” Sep 07, 2026

t’s a BIG week on We Need 2 Talk! We’re celebrating turning 60, gearing up for football season, talking US Open drama, and somehow discovering that six caviar-topped chicken nuggets can cost more than four movie tickets and four giant popcorns. Yes… really. 💸🍗

We get emotional talking about birthdays, getting older, memories of our moms, and what it feels like to step into a new decade—with a bucket-list trip to South Africa just around the corner. Then we dive headfirst into the things we’re currently obsessed with, including Alex Earle’s wildly fascinating family story, reality-TV drama, CT and Phaedra’s VERY unexpected relationship rumors, Big Brother, Love Island, and the return of some of our favorite TV characters.

We also debate whether Theo James should be the next James Bond, try to make sense of Guy Ritchie’s latest mind-bending TV world, discuss Ryan Reynolds’ questionable new movie, celebrate the perfect ending of Trying, and wonder why Sullivan’s Crossing keeps getting renewed.

Plus: Tom Hardy is coming back, the Met Gala is in chaos, the US Open is charging outrageous prices, and we discover a blanket so good we may have found our next podcast sponsor. 😂

And of course, we finish with this week’s game: The Prices Open—where we find out whether US Open concessions really are more expensive than everyday life.

It’s emotional. It’s ridiculous. It’s expensive. It’s very, very us.

We Need 2 Talk.

Dolly Parton, Jam & Why We’re All Stupid People

It’s Sunday, we’re at the beach, and somehow we have A LOT to talk about. 💅🏻🍸

This week on We Need 2 Talk, we’re raising a glass to the legendary Dolly Parton and talking about why her passing hit us so hard — from the emotional tributes happening everywhere to her incredible legacy, her 60-year love story, Dollywood, the Imagination Library, and some amazing Dolly facts you may not know. 💕🎶

Then things take a hard left into THE GREAT JAM DEBATE. Does anyone actually eat jam on a regular basis? Apparently, the answer is YES. We hear from the “jammers” and remain skeptical. 🍓😂

We also get into the bizarre world of targeted TV advertising, including some VERY specific Roku commercials, and how ChatGPT is helping us hunt down better deals on our internet and streaming subscriptions. Is AI actually saving us money? Maybe. Is it also making us realize how much we overpay? Absolutely.

Plus:

📺 Ted Lasso — Roy Kent, Keely, friendship, relationships and the return of the clique.

🏠 Big Brother celebrates its 1,000th episode, complete with Julie Chen’s greatest fashion and hair moments.

🏝️ Outer Banks continues to test our commitment to television… and our intelligence.

🎬 The Last Sunrise on Prime gets a review — including a LOT of love for its stunning Mallorca setting.

😂 Leanne season two has us questioning whether “funny” hits differently when the subject matter starts getting a little too close to home.

🔥 Double Lives of Suburban Wives has officially become our latest can’t-look-away obsession. We need a reunion show. Immediately.

⚓ And we talk Below Deck, including the latest drama surrounding Nathan and why this season is still keeping us hooked.

And finally, because we apparently can’t have a podcast without a game, it’s Dolly Parton True or False! How well do we really know Dolly? The answers may surprise you. 🤠

It’s emotional, ridiculous, opinionated and, as always, completely unfiltered.

Stay pickled, everyone! 🍸

Nobody Eats Jam… And Other Things We Need to Talk About Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This week on We Need 2 Talk, we're kicking off the weekend with cocktails, opinions, and A LOT to talk about. 🍸

First up: Harry & Meghan may be heading back to the UK — and we have thoughts. Are they really ready to return to the royal fold, or do they need the monarchy more than they ever admitted? And, perhaps most importantly… why didn't Meghan's jam empire take over the world? 😂

Then things get seriously messy with Below Deck. We're talking about the shocking allegations involving Nathan and Gail, the restraining order, and how we're supposed to watch this season knowing what happened behind the scenes. Plus, the charter guests are driving us crazy, the chef is questioning herself, and we're wondering why some people simply cannot read a preference sheet.

Meanwhile, Outer Banks is back for its final season, and we're committed to seeing it through — even though we have approximately 847 questions about how these people survive without money, food, showers, phones, or apparently any normal adult supervision.

We're also talking:

🐶 The dog application that accidentally turned a loyal listener into a reference
📺 Ted Lasso, Lucky, The Brilliant Career, Tires and Trying
💎 The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Tracy Tutor joining the cast
😂 The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — wait until you hear why we're hooked
🏠 Chloe Kardashian's new Hulu show and why… absolutely nothing happens
👑 Taylor Swift's mysterious green clues and whatever she's about to announce
🎾 An unexpected Novak Djokovic sighting at a Hamptons beach club
📺 Rosie O'Donnell's return to late-night TV
🏈 Hard Knocks and the countdown to football season
🔥 And, of course, another intense episode of Lioness

And then it's game time!

This week we're playing We Need 2 Talk: Perfect Partner Trivia, featuring some very famous cats, including Garfield, Odie, Tom & Jerry, Puss in Boots and Sylvester. Let's just say… not everyone was prepared. 😂

Grab your drink, settle in, and stay pickled. 🥂

We Need 2 Talk is your weekly dose of TV, pop culture, celebrity drama, random observations, and two friends who always have something to say.

She BIT Her Boss?! Plus The Ick, Lioness & Our TV Obsessions Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

How do you get someone to stop stealing confidential information at work? Apparently… you bite them. 😂

This week on We Need 2 Talk, we finally get the full story behind Christy’s infamous workplace biting incident — including why she bit her boss, how her mother responded, and the unbelievable way the story came back years later at a business lunch.

Then we get into everything we're watching right now: the explosive return of Lioness, the new season of Ted Lasso, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Buccaneers, The Shards, The Waterfront, My Life with the Walter Boys and more. We debate which shows are worth sticking with, which ones we've officially abandoned, and why some series take WAY too long to get to the good stuff.

Plus:
🍸 Life without internet (and why booze helps)
💇‍♀️ The never-ending battle with humidity hair
🐈 Timmy the cat's latest escape attempt
🌀 Our bizarre $38 "wave bed" experience
🚢 Why cruises might give us the ultimate ick
💰 Our dream of having "helicopter F.U. money"
💕 Pete Davidson's dating life
😳 The things that instantly give us "the ick"
🏎️ Lewis Hamilton, F1 and celebrity summer sightings
🎬 Our thoughts on the latest Bravo/Below Deck crossover
🧠 And a round of We Need 2 Talk Time Travel Trivia

And yes… we need to discuss whether dirty feet, foot-picking and certain celebrity behavior qualify as an automatic ick.

It's another very chaotic, very honest, very We Need 2 Talk episode.
