The Check-In with Bethany Watson & Dennis Cahlo

First things first: Bebe and Dennis had their friends over. Why did the children leave freaked out? Then, Bethany opens up about a massive realization she had about her life. Are you struggling with the same thing? This conversation may help! Plus, Dennis puts on his old-timey thinking cap because it's time for an unexpected and wholly unnecessary Solar Eclipse-Themed Space Multiple Choice Quiz!

Have you been feeling disconnected lately? Like you haven't been hanging out with friends as much as you did pre-pandemic? You're not alone! Dennis has a fascinating segment about why so many of us are more isolated than ever (it's not why you think!) and how our beloved INTROVERTS can easily get comfy human connection, too! Plus, it's Dennis' birthday so we're playing Dirty Birthday MadLibs! Grab your...

This was truly one of the most fun episodes we've ever recorded! After our beloved cat Minerva crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this month, we were obviously devastated. So, to help others who may be processing grief, we talk about how we worked through it and some tips we have! But more than anything, we spend the episode talking about how funny, bizarre, and adorably infuriating Minerva was, even in her last moments. We al...

NOTE: Since the recording of this episode, our beloved Minerva passed away. Thank you to everyone who has sent their love and well wishes. Those of you who attend our live recordings know what a huge part she played in all of it, and in our lives. So when we talk in this episode about Minerva being sick, please send some prayers up to the Rainbow Bridge and tell her how much she is desperately missed. 💔 xx D & Bb

Since the last episode was more serious, it's time for games! After some enlightening listener emails, Dennis gives Bebe a challenge: guess the lyrics (and melodies) of some of his favorite songs. Since the Venn diagram of their musical tastes is just two separate circles, Bethany gives it the old college try. (Wait until you hear her "Placebo" song...) Plus, have you seen these movies? What do you think they're...

Bethany and Dennis have embarked, hand-in-hand, on a journey toward FINDING ALL THE CRAP THEY DON’T USE AND GETTING IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. (Did you know that having a cluttered house can actually affect *all* of your relationships??) And Dennis is trying something new: The No Buy Challenge. You’ll be shocked at what happened to his brain when he stopped impulse-buying things! Is this something you’d want to try?

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:<...

Bethany and Dennis had a huge revelation thanks to talking about....Bethany's naps? Seriously, being willing to pull feelings apart can lead to massive epiphanies! And have you taken the Food Disgust Test? Who scored worse? (And soup lovers, brace yourself.)

Freshly back from their holiday road trip, Bethany and Dennis go through the highlights of their vacation. This includes a very exciting new addition to Dennis' accessories that will come in *clutch*. Then, after seeing an ad for a Hallmark Christmas movie that kind of blew her mind, Bethany quizzes Dennis to see if he can guess the plots of Hallmark and Lifetime movies based solely on their titles. How will YOU do?

Thanksgiving vacation is imminent and we're loopy. Using radical candor here: the show is low-effort (and seems to be...better? Should we stop trying?) Speaking of radical candor, it's time for a new Radical Candor Corner because Dennis needs to talk to Bethany about her dramatic sock sorting. Then, get your ____ ready for some _____ wordplay because it's time for Dirty Mad Libs!
