48: Things That Should Be Illegal: NYC Summer Edition

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/fan_mail/new] okay so i lost my shoe to the rain on the way to the train and had to crawl back for it in front of god and everyone. that's just the open. that's not even the episode. it's summer, it's a sweaty 95, the girlies are out here with our coochies out, and you sent me everything that should be illegal about a nyc summer. the backpack man who clears a whole train car with one turn. the rooftop dj with a fog machine and FOUR songs who thinks he's headlining coachella. the garbage soup with steam coming off it. a 9-hour "beach day" that was 7 hours of the A train and one sunburn stripe (we'd do it again, obviously). the mystery drip from the AC unit that lands on your tongue and ends your whole life. the girl reclining on the subway pole like it's lumbar support (you absolute villain). also a real one — a night-shift nurse sad about a summer thing she "wasn't supposed" to catch feelings for. and me, derailing for ten minutes about my $50 amazon fan (changed my life, not sponsored, will die on this hill) and how my 8-month-old maine coon is going to be my 401k. it's a hang. group therapy with no AC. all girlies, every walk of nyc life, same suffering. full-time feeler, part-time hater. send your crimes to ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com [ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com] 🍋 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/support]

47. Where's My Apology?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/fan_mail/new] okay so who owes you an apology? because i made a list and it's basically every man i've ever dated. this is the apology episode. and yet — no apology. the sorry you're still waiting for. the one that came five years too late and fixed nothing. "i'm sorry you feel that way," which is not an apology, it's a knife in the shape of one. the boss who apologized to the whole team except the one person he actually wronged (her. it's always her). and the apology you owe yourself for staying way too long. plus schrilla the killa wants kim k as her lawyer because she only wears skims, and i witnessed the saddest corporate event in america at dinner — new jersey's finest racing to make the 9:40 to penn. then the closer. how do you grieve an apology when the only person who could give it is already gone. full-time feeler, part-time hater. let's get into it. 🍋 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/support]

46. Why Are Men, Part 2.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/fan_mail/new] the back half of the inbox. a husband who became a running stat, a Carly-coded shit crappens (the lamb, IYKYK), a 62-year-old still waiting to hear "i love you" from her brother, and a closer that lands on actual hope — the woman who finally met a man who answers questions. plus: 50 and rainy, and the Aunt Diane documentary that colonized my brain. ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com [ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com] 🍋 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/support]

45. Why Are Men?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/fan_mail/new] why are men… i did not raise these men but here i am, full-time translator. a man wore patti smith's face to a date and didn't know her name. another wore cargo shorts to a french bistro. one mid-act in murray hill said "ravishing" — with vibrato. also: the pentagon is now the "department of war." the white house emailed a reporter an alien emoji. a family in vegas filed a 911 report on a 10-foot non-human entity in their backyard. we close on the hardest version of the question — a divorced mom watching her ex-husband become dad of the year six months after the marriage ended. this is part one. part two next week. ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com [ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com] 🍋⚖️ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/support]
