27: Reformation Stock Plummets Thx 2 Lily James
This week we offer financial advice...as two women who just asked their listeners for money, promptly followed up with a passionate ode to our new fav purchase that we can't shut up about. Chanler then issues a stern rebuke against Dominic West and Lily James, while Lauren laments the sad reality exposed by the lovebirds: no one looks as great as they thought they would in a Reformation dress. We then go on an emotionally charged journey where we examine why a certain influencer's oatmeal triggered Lauren so deeply and why depictions of hyper-thin celebrities and film characters (like Emily in Paris) eating with abandon is unrealistic/damaging/a mindf*ck for young girls. Finally, we discuss some of our fav influencers to follow that champion body positivity, share a stunning fake ad, and end with a gentle plea on bended knee from Lauren that national holidays on instagram be henceforth prohibited by law. Buckle in, baby.

We, two childless women, issue strong opinions on traveling with kids, Bledsoe family vacations filled with ordering poolside cocktails, Lauren's Karen moment at her Orange County gym, John and Deb's journey out of Orange County to the heathen city SF, why mountain biking won't keep Lauren and Kagen's flame alive, David Foster fathering another child he won't have time for, and finally we answer your q's about being a better friend, in-law drama, and our thoughts on getting in shape!

25: Faking Car Accidents & Flaking On Dates
This week's episode is full of confessions, including the libelous lengths we'll go to in order to get out of dates at the last minute. After this soul cleansing via public airwaves, we review the far cry from reality that is Emily in Paris, the new show taking Netlflix and basic bitches everywhere by storm. Finally, Lauren issues a public statement and robust rebuttal against new accusations lobbied at Meghan Markle. And last but not least, we have a juicy interview with dear friend who was once recruited by NXIVM's one and only Marc Elliott. Buckle in, baby.

23: Sinning With You
We launch a verbal attack against hot water with lemon, the preferred beverage of bullshitters worldwide, discuss Meghan Markle's journey from music video star to English royalty (and all of the titillating tidbits Lauren is learning about in FINDING FREEDOM), mourn Paris Hilton's shoddily decorated mansion and her exit from the garden of innocence, break down the indignities we will willingly endure to get marginal discounts from Direct-To-Consumer brands, finally confess our fetish for Christian men (yeah, you read that right), and debate Stassi Schroeder's return to Instagram. Buckle in, baby!
