Awkward Encounters with Ben, Fen, Bin, Bem, and Dave

from Awkward Encounters · host Laura J; Carrie J

Where do we even begin with this chaos? In this episode of Awkward Encounters, Blonde Meghan returns as our “esteemed” guest with an unexpected cameo from Red Megan; because apparently one Meg(h)an simply isn’t enough.Meanwhile, Laura bravely tackles the true struggle of our time: names. Specifically, why every man she’s ever met is somehow named Ben…or Fen…or Bin…or Bem…or Dave (??). Are these real people or just variations of the same guy? The mystery deepens.From there, we spiral into a laundry list of past stories. Make sure to send us your awkward encounters with names at [email protected] and follow us @awkwardencounterspod. And if you want to be our next special guest, WE WANT YOU!
