On this week’s episode, Cedar and Chris spiral as they have the fleeting thought: “What if our exes had a podcast?” Would they listen? They also discuss a recurring phenomenon: Why does the ex-fling always manage to ruin a good manic episode? And how the “genuine” concern never feels genuine. Cedar talks about dick pics — solicited vs unsolicited. Bonus points if you can get creative! Chris gets into the semantics of ...

This week’s episode is full of surprises. Cedar shares her experience meeting with a psychic who gives her a ton of information she was not expecting. The revelations she experienced may have affected her sexual identity… Is she coming out? A phase? What’s going on here? Chris also comes out this episode, but as a feminist (Cedar has never been more proud). The two ramble about compliments — when is too much too much?...

This week, Chris and Cedar air their grievances with the most recent presidential election. A short and sweet episode to talk through some of the feelings *most* of us are experiencing regarding the outcome, and wrapping it up with some of the most unserious banter possible provided by Chris Bruno himself.

Happy ALMOST Halloween! Who’s ghosting someone this week? Chris has now learned the true definition of imposter syndrome and is obsessed with his latest self-diagnosis. Cedar applauds herself for not hating her exes new girlfriend, simply for the fact that she is her exes new girlfriend. And of course it wouldn’t be a true H&B episode without talks of Adderall, mushrooms, and delusional revelations.

In this episode, we’re labeling ourselves the official “Western Medicine Fan Club” and, honestly, we’re not sorry about it. Chris and Cedar talk about all the things that make adulthood... a lot. We’re obsessed with our friends, but also super overwhelmed by all the adult responsibilities that come with life. From squatters (yes, we’re going there) to our love of pills (Adderall, anyone?) and the joys of modern medici...

DISCLAIMER: No amount of disclaimers can justify anything that was said during this episode. Cedar talks about people’s use of inappropriate slurs while Chris attempts to justify his detest for people who “gossip”. In true H&B fashion, the episode turns into nothing but an ironic, shit talking, tea session.
