Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix is Terrifying (You Need to Watch it)

Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix is Terrifying (You Need to Watch it)

Jenny watched all four episodes of Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix and came in ready to talk. Samuel Bateman ran a sect inside the Mormon community in Utah, had somewhere between 15 and 20 wives, nine of them underage, and was taken down partly because a filmmaker named Christine embedded herself in the community for two years, gathered evidence the local police kept dismissing, and eventually handed everything to the FBI. The story of how he was finally caught involves a trailer on a highway, fingers visible through a gap in the door, and one person who decided to call it in. Jenny and Susan break down what cult psychology actually looks like, why people join and cannot leave, what the warning signs are that most people walk right past, and what happened to the women after the FBI got involved. They also get into what each of us can do when something feels wrong and we are not sure whether to say anything. This one is heavy but it is worth it. Watch Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix first if you can, then come back and listen.

New England vs West Virginia - Which One of Us Had the Better Childhood?

Jenny grew up in West Virginia next to a country club on a golf course, with a farmhouse, a massive garden, and six brothers who had a small side business growing marijuana in the backyard that her mother never found out about. Susan grew up in New England with Irish immigrant grandparents who remembered discrimination firsthand, a father who ordered Ebony Magazine to a very white neighborhood on purpose, and a hairdresser who operated out of her living room while a neighbor came in to sell eggs during the appointment. Two completely different childhoods. Two women who turned out to have a lot more in common than you would expect. They get into what small town life actually builds in a person, what it felt like to leave it, the foods that are specific to each region that they will defend forever, and the one thing both of them say they genuinely miss about where they came from.

How We Built Our Businesses From Nothing

Jenny and Susan pull back the curtain on how they actually built their businesses from scratch. Jenny started her dental practice with one chair, a bank loan, and a very specific strategy of taking every specialist in town out to lunch before she had a single patient. She also gave away free exams and cleanings for the first year because she knew if people could just experience her work, they would stay. Most of them did. Susan built two businesses by spotting what nobody else in town was doing yet. Her estate and home watch company Key Concierge grew out of her own frustration as a homeowner, and the realtor community helped her get it off the ground before word of mouth took over. They also get into the networking groups that wasted their time, the hats you have to wear before you can hire anyone, and why the first year almost always looks nothing like the plan. If you are thinking about starting something or just wondering how other women did it, this one is worth your time.

How to End a Bad Date Without Being Rude

Jenny and Susan get into what actually creates instant attraction on a first date and what sends it straight into ick territory. Susan breaks down her two non negotiables, humor and kindness, and explains why looks barely register for her anymore. Jenny brings up teeth, physical effort, and the difference between someone who is interesting and someone who just talks about themselves the whole date. They also get into the practical side of dating right now, including the app that lets you fake an emergency to escape a bad date, why background checks on people you meet online are worth every penny, and the safety steps every woman should take before meeting a stranger for the first time. Plus the questions men should stop asking and the ones that actually make them more interesting.

Dumbest Things We've Ever Done at Work

Two women. Decades of work experience between them. And a collection of on-the-job stories that range from deeply relatable to genuinely unbelievable. Jenny leads with the dental school student who just decided one day to drill straight through someone's tooth — and the hygienist who cleaned so aggressively she removed an entire tooth from a patient's mouth and brought it to Jenny in her hand. Susan brings the librarian assistant era, a brief and formative stint shoveling horse stalls at a racetrack, and the management mistake almost every new boss makes without realizing it until it's too late. Along the way there's a murder-scene exam room that had to be quietly evacuated, a wrong patient seated for the wrong procedure, two kids who left the dentist and immediately bought taffy, and a surprisingly honest conversation about why making big mistakes early is actually how you get good. This is the episode you send to anyone who's ever done something at work they hoped nobody saw.
