It appears Deb is at it again, making anyone who mentions the pod swear up and down not to listen. This week, listen along as Lauren regales us with the tale of one poor dental hygienist who was forced to make an oath to Deb that she would never subscribe. We get into that heartwarming tale of maternal support and then pivot to a recent a flight Lauren took that almost ended in blows. Chanler breaks down the West Elm Caleb situation and we discuss Bella Hadid's decision to lay off the sauce. Finally, we chat a controversial question: should you share phone passwords with your partner? Buckle in. Also, apologies for the bodily noises. This ep is truly disgusting and should be cancelled.

This week we are diving into all things dating and romance, prompted by the great love of our time shared between (of course) Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. We chat all our thoughts on the engagement ring and drinking each other's blood before turning to decidedly less deviant (but equally sordid) topic: our own dating and romantic histories. We extoll the brief bit of wisdom we have and chat when to sleep with someone, ghosting, big red flags to watch out for, and misconceptions about secular courtship. Buckle in, bb's!
