As we close out 2025 and head straight into divorce season, Lauren & Chanler are joined by their favorite recurring guest — their dad, a longtime divorce attorney — for one of your most-requested annual episodes.
From Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s hypothetical prenup to Golden Bachelor drama, Real Housewives breakups, and messy celebrity divorces, Dad breaks down what actually matters legally (and what’s pure Hollywood fiction).
Plus, we answer listener questions on:
- Prenups vs. no prenups
- What really happens after 10 years of marriage
- Substance abuse, gambling, and domestic violence in divorce
- Why mediation without a lawyer can go very wrong
- Red flags to watch for when dating divorcees
It’s informative, unfiltered, funny, and slightly unhinged — exactly how we like to ring in the New Year. 🥂⚖️
