Saying Things We Probably Shouldn't
Kelee and Erin are BACK from spring break and they're easing in with absolutely zero chill. This week's episode is a get-to-know-us special, and let's just say, simple questions don't stay simple for long.It starts with a debate that somehow always comes up at our family parties: what actually counts as a toy? Is a ball a toy? (Genuinely, think about it.) From there, things spiral in the best way.The girls get into what they'd do if they woke up with $1 million tomorrow, and yes, it says a lot about them. They debate flat earth vs. ball earth, confess whether they've ever been in a fist fight, and answer the big ones: if you could go back in time for 24 hours where would you go, who would you be for a day if you could be anyone, and if there were zero consequences, what's one illegal thing you'd do?No filter, no wrong answers, and maybe a few things that should've stayed in the group chat.New episodes Thursday.

The Dark Side of the College Experience
Rebecca and Kelee are spilling their truth about their college experience. It's not always the "best time of your life" like everyone says. From the pressure to peak during those four years to the realities of struggling through a major life transition, it's okay if your college experience doesn’t look like a highlight reel. Rebecca and Kelee share their raw, unfiltered freshman year stories, discussing how the excitement of starting college can be overshadowed by anxiety, social struggles, and the challenge of finding your footing. In the second half of the episode, Kelee opens up about being bullied at the end of her freshman year and into her sophomore year. She spills the tea on the mean girls, the emotional toll it took, and the confusing, conflicting feelings she experienced during the time. If you've ever felt like your college journey isn’t as picture-perfect as everyone else’s, this conversation is for you. Tune in for an honest look at the darker side of the college experience, and know you're not alone in navigating the struggle.

Join us as we discuss why your ex might still be following you, why some partners demand that you unfollow past flames, and if it’s really that deep to watch someone’s stories. We also dive into a shocking story of one girlfriend who deleted every photo of her boyfriend.

Single Friend Reparations
Erin and Kelee are diving headfirst into the sometimes awkward and occasionally enraging world of social dynamics between single people and those in relationships—especially engaged and married couples. From well-meaning but annoying advice to the silent (or not-so-silent) perks of being in a couple, they’re pulling no punches. They tackle topics like: The unwritten rules around expectations for engaged friends vs. single friends How couples always seem to snag the best room on group trips Why people with kids sometimes make parenting their entire personality That cringe-worthy line: “It’ll happen when you least expect it” (33:14) The importance of celebrating different life goals Checking in on the lives of your friends outside of their relationships The vibes when you’re the single friend on a couples’ trip And, of course, why the single friend always seems to get left behind It’s a candid, no-holds-barred conversation about the societal expectations that come with relationship status, the subtle (and not-so-subtle) inequalities, and why it’s time to change the narrative. Tune in for an episode that’ll have you laughing, nodding in agreement, and maybe even side-eyeing your friends in relationships. 👀
