Ep 26 | Fa La La La F*ck This

Oh, the holidays — a time for joy, togetherness, and, apparently, absolute chaos. In this festive yet fiery episode, Bri and Britt bring you some of the wildest holiday drama to grace the internet. Take a deep breath, because no matter how weird your family gets, it’s probably not this bad. The episode kicks off with a story that will make you rethink those experimental holiday potluck dishes. One woman’s "creative" contributions to Christmas dinner are so horrifying, they’re basically culinary terrorism. Hint: some traditions are tastier if you leave them alone. Next up, Bri and Britt unpack a tale of thoughtfulness gone so wrong. A woman’s heartfelt, personal gifts for her partner’s family earn her an unexpected title: stalker. Because nothing says “Happy Holidays” like being dragged for actually caring. And for the grand finale? A jaw-dropping story about a partner who decides that annual Christmas vacation in Florida is more important than sticking around for the birth of his child. Yes, you read that right. Baby? What baby? Apparently, “Family Time” doesn’t include the one he helped create. So, grab your cocoa, spike it if you must, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and feel a lot better about your own holiday shenanigans. We’re here to remind you: it’s not you, it’s them. Happy Holidays, ya filthy animals.

Then, it’s Reddit to the rescue as they unpack stories of folks navigating anxiety. There’s one about calming down when your brain says, "Not today," another about finding the balance between controlling what you can and letting go of the rest, and a case of analysis paralysis so bad, even Reddit can’t decide. It’s a mix of relatable meltdowns and advice for anyone who’s ever yelled, “WHY ME?!” into the void. Tune in, take a breath, and let’s figure out how to chill… or at least laugh about it.

Ep 23 | Squabble Squabble - Turkey Day Troubles

In this episode, Brianna and Britt share their personal mix of excitement and dread about the holiday season. Then, they dig into some wild Thanksgiving tales from Reddit, featuring: * A woman whose Sister-in-Law invites herself (and others!) to Thanksgiving while being downright mean to the host’s dogs. * A girlfriend left wondering if her boyfriend of 10 months actually ditched her for Turkey Day. * A young woman who “ruined Thanksgiving” on purpose after her boyfriend’s mom kept calling her by his ex’s name—intentionally. * A guy questioning if he’s the bad guy for leaving Thanksgiving early when no one saved him any food. Listen in for holiday drama, laughs, and maybe a little catharsis.
