It's been a long month for us, but here we are! We're getting back on track and we're possibly rebranding a little bit? Laura may have some VERY unrealistic ideas of episode lengths?

We disappeared for a week again. We're sorry, but we can't promise we wont happen again.

Laura talks about how being medicated has helped her life and encourages everyone who's thought about it to give it a try. Stephanie watched The Substance and tells us about it. And Tyler recaps what he hinted at last episode, which was a disaster of a home run derby he went and saw.

What can we say about Big Brother.... It started off well, th...

LOTS of talk about how to make this our full-time jobs, and Tyler has a way to do it fast.

Share time starts with Laura asking Tyler and Stephanie (but mostly Stephanie) for horror movies to watch with her boyfriend for this month, Stephanie updates us on Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's divorce and we OF COURSE make fun of Jax again, and Tyler has absolutely nothing to talk about because what he wanted to talk about wasn't hap...

We're all extremely tired for various reasons and we're also not going to watch The Golden Bachelorette.

Share time starts with Laura's new favorite show, The Sopranos, and why it's so great. Tyler decides he'd rather be on Survivor than Big Brother. And Stephanie talks Dancing With The Stars. Well, mostly Joey, but still.

Then we recap the last week and a half or so of Big Brother and give our thoughts on it. None of us really pai...

Mercury retrograde has once again reared it's ugly head and chaos ensued as we recorded. Don't worry though, you only get to hear the best parts of it, including Laura's dog (check the YouTube video to see how cute she is) and some blooper content at the end of the episode!

Laura makes a discovery involving Maddie Pruitt that lead her down a rabbit hole about a billionaire, his son, and a basketball team. Stephanie's upset at the L...

We promise you, we're not becoming a bi-weekly podcast. We've just had a string of very bad luck recently that's kept us from recording. But we are back again and ready to talk shows!

Sorry for taking another week off, but people weren't feeling good and frankly, nothing really happened on The Bachelorette and Big Brother last week, but we still touched on a few things just to give y'all the important info.

But as always, we start with Share Time! Laura talks about a couple of movies she's watched, one good and one not good. Tyler actually has a story about how saving a snake became more of a problem than it sho...

I know we said last week that we're going to be uploading on Tuesdays now, but we're also recording on Tuesdays and the entire state of Texas lost internet all day on Tuesday, so we had to reschedule. But here we are! And so are several men that we don't like that our lovely Bachelorette, Jenn, has the misfortune of picking from!

QUICK NOTE: Episodes will now be released on Tuesdays. We explain why in the episode.

To be honest, we forgot to plan something for this episode. So this one is ALLLLLL Share Time!

I can't even really map out what we talked about because it mostly just tangent after tangent with a very loose structure of who's turn it is guide the conversation. Just some nice conversation between three friends who haven't seen each other in about a...
