Your favorite girlies wouldn't record an episode and then not get around to posting it for a week...would they? We would and we did, so that means y'all are hearing us stress out about things that are already in our rearview mirror. It's still fun and unhinged per usual so listen anyway to help us give advice to a listener, hear our takes on things that have been all over your feeds and a weird new side hustle.

There's a trend on TikTok where people are sharing their partner's "beige flags": Things they do that make you take pause, but aren't break-up worthy. The trend is hilarious so a couple weeks ago we asked listeners on IG what their partners beige flags were and some of these do not dissapoint! We also call Elaine at a very inopportune time to discuss her own beige flag...or is it red?
