20: Advice & Aliens

The Aliens are here!! ...or are they?

19: Strawberry Yum Yum

Your favorite girlies wouldn't record an episode and then not get around to posting it for a week...would they? We would and we did, so that means y'all are hearing us stress out about things that are already in our rearview mirror. It's still fun and unhinged per usual so listen anyway to help us give advice to a listener, hear our takes on things that have been all over your feeds and a weird new side hustle.

18: (Hanging on by) Threads

Would you know a backhanded compliment if you received one? We're sharing some that we've received and maybe dished out, unleash the things bugging us this week and share our UnHiNgEd thoughts on the nest social app...but not before giving some NSFW advice to this week's basically famous listener.

18: Boundaries

Work, relationships, family - enforcing boundaries is an acquired skill necessary to keep us from losing our shit but man, is it hard! We're addressing a listener's conundrum about a troubled family member, what your hands say about you and whether or not we buy into astrology and horoscopes.

17: Alexa, Play "No Air"

Of course, Oceangate is top of mind for everyone, including us! The irony is that we already had a list of things ocean-related to talk about and the message is clear: The ocean wants us out. We're catching up on our weeks, our inbox and welcoming our new studio dog, Brooks to the mix...Maggie's pissed.

16: Beige Flags

There's a trend on TikTok where people are sharing their partner's "beige flags": Things they do that make you take pause, but aren't break-up worthy. The trend is hilarious so a couple weeks ago we asked listeners on IG what their partners beige flags were and some of these do not dissapoint! We also call Elaine at a very inopportune time to discuss her own beige flag...or is it red?

15: Loser Men

This week we're catching up on hotline submissions and there seems to be a commonality between most of them...just sayin'. Double lives, lies in the courtroom, misogyny - oy vey.

10: Hung for the Holidays

Our favorite kind of episodes are..unhinged. Maybe it's the stress of moving, or maybe its the fact that this is the 9th week in a row Wendy's been congested, but one things for sure...it's tinkle time!
