Episode 50: Vehicular Irritation, Divorce Diaries, and.....Hobby Horsing?

from This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast! · host Jen & Ashten

This episode starts exactly how you’d expect from two Texas women personally victimized by ice: road rage, sliding vehicles, and what we are now officially calling VEHICULAR IRRITATION. If you’ve ever white-knuckled a steering wheel while judging every other driver’s life choices, welcome home.Then we hit a Listener Confession that is so diabolically organized it honestly deserves a filing cabinet and a paralegal. A sweet angel of a woman has been keeping a running diary of grievances in case she ever needs it for a divorce and we immediately agree: this is genius, this is petty, this is inspirational, this is how history should be documented.From there, because our brains do not drive in straight lines, we somehow end up asking:How do they decide an animal is extinct?Like… did they text the animal? Did it leave them on read? Who is out there doing roll call for species??Naturally this leads us into Hollywood, where nobody has an original idea and everyone is 22 years too young to be cast as someone’s romantic interest. We spiral into reboot rage, questionable casting choices, and the very uncomfortable truth that sometimes actors have a little too much chemistry and now we’re all watching what feels like their real relationship unfold on screen.We also uncover a list of hobbies that, for reasons science cannot explain, attract an alarming number of absolute d-bags. If you do these hobbies… we are so sorry you had to find out this way.AND THEN.We remember.TODAY IS EPISODE 50.Fifty episodes of chaos. Fifty episodes of asking questions no one asked for. Fifty episodes of you enabling this behavior.We wrap it up by announcing our upcoming Super Bowl commentary because nothing says “sports analysis” like two women who will absolutely be talking about commercials, halftime outfits, and snacks like it’s a national emergency.As always:Listener Confessions continue to be the best part of this show.The weather is our villain origin story.Hollywood needs adult supervision.And hobbies are apparently a red flag.Welcome to Episode 50.We are not getting better
