The Plot Thickens

This week, we’re finally getting the answers to a lot of questions we’ve been asking for quite some time, the most important of which is: did Whitney’s artificial insemination take? Whit is dead set on making one of two decisions: starting a family and staying in Greensboro versus moving somewhere totally different and starting fresh. But will Whitney get discouraged if this first attempt at pregnancy doesn’t go as planned? Will sh...

This episode is jam-packed - we should have called it "a birthday and a funeral" because it incorporated both Glenn's 79th birthday and Henchi's memorial service. Though Henchi's departure was tragic for all fans of the show, his memorial service was an affair to remember - it was rife with gifts, memories and of course, lots of plastic. As for Whitney, we're still wondering if she actually inseminated herself. In this episode, she...

Well, the votes are in and, thanks to Isaiah and Jess, Whitney has chosen her League Baby sperm donor! In “Twinkle, Twinkle, Fertile Star,” Whitney puts Ashley’s womb preparation skills to the test as she undergoes a full womb energy cleanse - complete with salty food from an unnamed popular fast food restaurant (McDonald’s) and a plastic turtle named Cappy (after Cappy, of course) with his own enclosure! But will the egg wash, cha...

We're finally here on season 13 of MBFFL! We can't believe it. And to add to the fun, TLC has given your girls SCREENERS so we can watch the episodes in advance, create our episodes, and get you the recaps the day after the episodes drop on cable television! In the premier episode of MBFFL, Whitney once again fakes us out in a classic Robert Frost conundrum - two roads are diverged in Greensboro and Whit has a choice to make: will ...

Y'all - we're coming to the (temporary) end of our coverage of Season 2 of MBFFL - because we're going to pick up next week on Season 13, which drops TODAY, JULY 1! Throughout this season, we're changing our podcast drops to MONDAYS instead of TUESDAYS, so you'll be able to recap the previous week's episode the day before you watch the NEW episode!

But while we're still on Season 2... This is a landmark episode. And that's becaus...

On today’s episode of the plot thickens, we are recapping a landmark moment in Whitney‘s life… She’s finally “leaving the nest!” And no, you didn’t read that wrong and your eyes do not deceive you! Whitney‘s plan to move out with her current “best friend“ Buddy is finally coming to fruition! But as Tal points out, there’s going to be a lot of temptation in that new house (a la shirtless Buddy) - will Whit be able to withstand it? O...

It's finally the night of the big Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball game! and boy, did the weather turn out poorly for Whitney and her BGDC's debut - but don't worry - the girls should be fine regardless of how the dance number goes (though Whitney is entirely convinced that they'll jettison themselves off the stadium if the dance doesn’t go as planned). The manager of baseball operations assures Whit that the Grasshoppers' stadium ...

This week, Whit is saying "CARBONARA" (huh???) to pasta, bread and other white carbs, even though her dietician specifically advised against it! She's forging her own path and making her own choices and cutting out food groups left and right. Whit decides to put herself to the ultimate challenge - to go out for Italian food with her friends, Babs and Glenn and allow them to order all of her favorite foods so that she can "look the ...

Whitney’s back, y’all! In this aptly titled episode, WWT returns to the spotlight, hand in the air, with renewed determination following her pre-diabetes diagnosis. She visits her doctor to assess the impact of her recent lifestyle changes - BGDC and… that’s it… on her health. Spoiler alert: she’s not any farther from the diabetes diagnosis! Whitney challenges herself by attempting to ride a bicycle - a custom-made, wide-wheeled bi...

Finally, we've reached the end of the recaps and are coming to the true "meat" of Season 2. While Whit weighs in on her big fat fabulous journey, your faithful cohost are weighing in on some seriously hot tea that's boiling in Whit's kitchen - we promised you a deeper dive into Tinder and we're delivering this week! That's right - for those of you who didn't listen or weren't paying close attention, one of the members of the My Big...

We’re back after our surprise Duggar series to bring you the first episode (part 1) of Season 2 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life! Brace yourselves because this is going to be another two-parter; we’ve got a long road ahead of us!  Sorry if we’re repeating ourselves, but this episode, entitled “Whitney Weighs In” is yet another recap episode of sorts where Whitney answers some burning questions from social media and recounts her big, fat...

As we move between Season 1 and Season 2 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, we’re treating our listeners to something special and different: our Duggars bonus series! We know the TLC family rolls deep, and if you love (to hate) all things WWT, you most likely have also (hate) watched the Duggar family and their cultish outlook and lifestyle. We’ve got a bunch of episodes jam-packed with content and background you’ve never heard before! N...

Well, finally, we're at the TRUE end of Season 1 and what a wild season it's been! Obviously, the heroine (and America's Mom) of MBFFL is Babs Thore, the queen of red nails and red lips! But will some fresh lipstick and a shot at Whitney's Big Girl Dance Class be enough to bring Babs out of a three-week-long funk from getting into a scary car accident? Or will Babs be clutching her pillow and lurking at the screen door for good? Ho...

Well, well, well. We're finally on the last episode of season 1. How did we get here, y'all? In celebration, we're treating you to a FULL version of the Whitney Way Thore Fabulous Life Anthem to start off the episode - it's become our favorite song and we hope you all feel the same! This episode has Babs front and center - she's fresh off a very scary car accident involving a black-out and skid down a hill (embankment). Babs is unh...

This week’s episode may be called “the skinny” but don’t worry, it’ll be a long time before Whitney discovers the fountain of youth and weight loss stemming from Novo Nordisk. This episode is framed as a season-closing tell-all where Whitney sits down for an interview with one of her producers. While Whit may have been this episode’s intended focus, we couldn’t keep our eyes off the producer, who has been involved in other freak sh...

Hard to believe we're already on episode 9! Even harder to believe is the fact that Whit talks so much about leaving the nest but never does. We've got a jam packed episode for you this week - Whit gets an EXTREMELY serious diagnosis of pre-diabetes, for one. Unsurprisingly, Babs and Glenn act like it's the end of the world. Whit goes on house tours with Buddy in hopes that they'll start living together - but don’t worry, that won’...
