Jeri has jet lag, Rachel hates British beds, and all roads lead back to a Disney movie rant. Our hotline callers this week bring us to a very important topic: family planning. Rach and Jeri dissect TWO hotline callers this week. Our first caller asks for advice on how to know if a tube removal is the right birth control option (and how to get her parents to chill), and our second caller asks the question we've all asked ourselves: ...

This hotline caller episode we called in the big guns - Rach's (second) husband, Josh! These two morons with ADHD attempt to record a podcast and we think they mostly succeeded. We do some fun little Josh Q&A before getting into the meat of this week's hotline email - how to navigate resentment in marriage/parenthood.

Jeri's fresh off the heels of a crashout but Rach was already at her house to record so they got to unpack it together on the mic. The Parson's are thinking it might be nice to add a little baby to the team so Jeri got her IUD out... and a lot of feelings came with it. So come along for the ride and get inside Jeri's brain for this while we talk about starting over, and navigating parenthood and partnership in a second marriage. ...

Once again we bring to you an absolute brain dump of an episode that was supposed to be something else but turned into Jeri ripping Rachel a new one (respectfully). Are Catholics basically pagans? Will Rach ever actually talk about being in a cult? Are vets secretly scammers? Hear our hot takes and so much more before we do a deep dive into the dumpster fire that is Rach's brain these days.

No, your eyes do not deceive you... this really is a 35 minute episode! Rach and Jeri accidentally intro-tangented too close to the sun and made a whole additional episode for the Patreon crew (so head there if you want to listen to an hour of Rach feeling incompetent, and a deep discussion of the stars and astrological parenting). But for this episode, we focus on our caller Hannah and her current dilemma on whether or not to beco...
