If you haven't voted yet, here's a calm, level-headed, equitable discussion of the two candidates and how their platforms differ so you can make an informed decision... NOT! Ha ha ha, can't help it, that's hilarious, I just had to write that. Snort! Anyway, the Disaster Prius strikes again, Amy went camping, foxes are cute, and Bay drank too much. Don't email her at work! Actually, you can totally email her at work, just don't...

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.... because Bay never made it to Georgia. Amy and Nadia had lots of fun, but Bay caught bronchitis and stayed home. We talked about what Bay missed, and how nice it was to meet up in Chattanooga, and how great Bay's nails now look, but we didn't have our fun girls' weekend in Covington.

Bay needs a manicure, STAT! Wait, what she really needs is a good manicure. Sure, it's not rocket science; it ain't going to save the world; this isn't the straw that breaks Mueller's case's back, but it's important to *us*. Our nails need to look good! Also, Amy teaches Bay about Georgia history, and Bay cedes a Vocabulary Vixen session to Amy. Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week with a Tip of the Hat to The Strip Podcast! Wha...

    After a nice break, we're back! We traveled a little, we shopped a little, we ate a little; we stood back and gazed in wonder at what teenagers can put away these days. (Were we ever like that? Don't answer that!) Did you win a billion bucks? Neither did we! But if we do, we're gonna be neighbors. Call us! 44-222-96269!

    An extra dog!!! Yeah! Everyone loves an extra dog! Unless you're hosting Amy's former bulldog Lola, in which case, now you have to put up with your current French bulldog being kind of, well, passive aggressive. Just a little. Amy's houseguest sets off alarms! But only because Amy made him. And he won a poker tournament -- how much fun is that?! Bay saw fireworks, and we discuss how nice Knoxville is becoming, and there's just a we...

    Oh, the trials and tribulations of owning a smart speaker! [From Amazon Prime, that is.] Amy fills us in on how her very well-spoken parrot is now communicating with the Matrix.

      Love Trapped

      Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
