The girlies return to form with a chatty episode, catching you up on the horrors that have befallen their personal lives during their consecutive moves. After falling down the stairs (twice!) being bedridden with pain and beyond the hope of D-Mannose, leaving half a house in Los Angeles, and crying in the emergency veterinarian's office and on the plane, finally, they have both landed safely in New York to pod all about it.

The girlies are back with another treat from Colleen Hoover, who bravely asked the question: what if the villain could also suck dick? They review Verity, a crime thriller made up of another pick-me from loser academy, a strange house in the woods, and (did we mention?) PLENTY of blowjobs.
