Sam is stepping out of the panicked fog of planning a surprise engagement and has some questions. Then, Listener Agatha had a drunken night with her BFF - and upcoming roommate - and is wondering what to do! Should the two still move in together? Should they tell Agatha’s ex? Should they outlaw pools from their hangout repertoire? And Bethany has your new favorite Wikipedia page!  Visit our sponsors!

Kathleen found an old hypnotism book in her Dad’s basement and now fancies herself a hypnotist. How well can she succeed in hypnotizing Bethany (and you)? Then, Kathleen has a LOT of feelings about emojis. Like, a lot of feelings. And why is Sam irritated with herself?

It’s time to follow up on some unfinished business! Bethany and Sam are still fighting over whether or not Bethany’s cousin is hot. Plus, we call Sam’s friend Dylan to see if his feelings were hurt when Sam forgot who he was during that bachelorette party. Spoiler Alert: Dylan has Hot Voice.

We have so many feelings! Kathleen, Sam and Bethany all brought in things they wanted to talk about so it’s a mixed bag episode! Grab your headlamp and buckle up, kids.

How did Bethany’s mom learn what a Molotov cocktail was? Why did she grow up in a house filled with venomous snakes? And why is Bethany offering to hire a serial killer? Bethany’s mom and niece, Nunu, join the women for this very special episode! Plus, we debut a new segment, “SCIENCE CORNER!” Science!!

It’s time for some uninformed advice-giving! Heather needs help with her daughter (who’s proving to be quite the heart breaker!) and “Princess Charlotte” needs advice on how NOT to get so overwhelmed with grown-up life tasks. Plus, Mama Watson makes a special cameo, live from Wisconsin! Big day!

Both Sam and Kathleen need life advice for very different reasons, while Bethany is just over here in the fetal position thanks to #science. Sorry in advance for Bethany’s mic sounding weird! Our engineer, Minerva Purr, is under the table now working on it!

Sam brings in her friend Paris, who recently took herself off Instagram for mental health reasons, and the women discuss the darker side of social media and how to cope!

Hey, everyone! Grab your coworkers and let’s play the game that’s sure to make everyone super uncomfortable around each other tomorrow! Things don’t end so well for Bethany…...
