This week on the podcast, Nicole is grappling with a truly horrifying problem—people who call instead of texting like civilized humans. Meanwhile, Lauren is furious at her culinary failure - damn that air fryer. We’ve got plenty of listener feedback, and, in a plot twist we never saw coming, a listener needs help deciding if an adopted zebra is a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. We have opinions. Tune in for rants, questionable advice, and the usual midlife chaos!
