This episode dives deep into the messy realities of adult friendships—why they fail, how boundaries shift as life changes, and the kinds of people Jocelyn and Jade are done entertaining in their circles.

The conversation kicks off with a side story about boundaries and communication—how marriage, kids, and busy schedules force people to be stricter with their time, and how flakiness or poor communication can strain even solid friendships. From there, Jocelyn introduces her list of five types of friends to cut off:

1. The Drama Dumper – The friend who constantly unloads their same self-inflicted chaos and never changes anything. At some point, venting turns into emotional labor nobody signed up for.
2. The Diva – Everything is about them, even when it’s your moment. They crave attention—good or bad—and would absolutely wear white to your wedding just to steal the spotlight.
3. The Non-Accountable Friend – They disrespect people’s time, flake on plans, and never admit when they’re wrong. These are the people who leave you waiting, then get mad when you stop tolerating it.
4. The Too Attached/Too Detached Friend – Both extremes are unhealthy. The overly attached friend who shows up uninvited (even at your partner’s house!) is suffocating, while the detached one disappears for months and only reappears for the party life, offering no real depth.
5. The Two-Faced Friend – The one who talks badly about you to other friends in the group. If they gossip about someone else to you, you know they’re doing the same behind your back.

They also throw in a bonus category:

• The Favor Friend (aka The Scrub) – Always asking for money, rides, clothes, babysitting, or favors but never reciprocating, even when it’s something small and free.

Throughout the episode, Jocelyn and Jade mix in personal stories, humor, and some Reddit-inspired commentary about how adults struggle with friendships. A big theme is how people avoid difficult conversations with friends, even though they’ll do it in romantic relationships or with family. The hosts argue that friendships are relationships too, and they deserve honesty, accountability, and investment.

The episode closes with a call for listeners to reflect on their own circles: stop calling acquaintances “friends,” be honest about what you’re willing to tolerate, and don’t be afraid to let go of people who don’t add value to your life.

What happens when you’re five years into a relationship, living together, in love… but he still won’t propose? 👀 In this week’s episode, we dive into a viral Reddit story where a woman finds out the real reason her partner won’t put a ring on it: kids. He wants them, she doesn’t. And suddenly, the “forever” relationship doesn’t feel so secure.

We get into it ALL — mismatched expectations, why “they’ll change their mind” is the worst relationship gamble, and how resentment creeps in when one partner sacrifices their dreams for the other. Plus, you know us… we spiral into everything from pregnancy fears and parenting fails to cruise ship nightmares, waterboarding hair wash flashbacks, and dating stories featuring “Fat #1” and “Fat #2.” 😂

This is one of those episodes where the conversation is both deep and hilarious — a reminder that no matter how much love there is, dealbreakers matter.

🗣 Two lives. Two perspectives. One unfiltered conversation.

Back door escapes. LinkedIn DMs. A 4-year-old spilling the tea. We’re diving into the wildest ways people discover they’re being cheated on—plus our own messy confessions, listener stories, and unfiltered takes on girl code, “cheating down,” and why some people forgive what they shouldn’t.

We also get real about the rise of “whites only” communities in 2025, the history they’re ignoring, and why it’s more dangerous than they think. It’s chaos, honesty, and best-friend energy all in one.

From sneaky back door exits to the other woman sliding into your LinkedIn messages (yes, LinkedIn), Episode 37 is all about the wild, ridiculous, and sometimes heartbreaking ways people find out they’re being cheated on. Jocelyn, Jade, and returning guest Antonio aren’t holding back—they’re confessing their own messy pasts, spilling listener-submitted cheating stories, and debating the messy truths about girl code, “cheating down,” and whether good sex is ever worth putting up with bad behavior.

We’re talking the shocking truck-in-the-backyard discovery, a husband busting his wife via Pinterest, a 4-year-old accidentally outing an affair, and the chaos that happens when friend groups blur the lines. You’ll hear the petty ways people get caught, the delusional ways we justify staying, and the brutally honest conversations about why we sometimes forgive what we shouldn’t.

But it’s not all relationship drama—this week we also take a detour into some real talk about the rise of “whites only” communities in 2025. We unpack the history behind segregation, why the comparison to “Black-only” spaces doesn’t hold up, and how fear, not superiority, is still fueling racism today. It’s blunt, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation you’d have with your most honest friends over wine.

Whether you’re here for the tea, the life lessons, or the laugh-out-loud commentary, Episode 37 delivers it all—chaos, honesty, and a little bit of therapy you didn’t know you needed.

Looking for a job in a tough market? Jocelyn and Jade keep it real about what actually works—and what definitely doesn’t. Jocelyn shares how she lowballed herself in an interview and what that taught her about knowing your worth. They break down why blaming the job market is often just an excuse, the importance of tailoring your resume (yes, multiple versions), and how to use tools like ChatGPT to actually land interviews—not just write cute bios.

They also get into:

• Why your salary expectations might not match your skillset
• What “passive” job hunting looks like (and why it gets you nowhere)
• How remote work could be hurting your promotion chances
• The difference between job rejection and being the problem
• And why being someone’s “B-roll friend” will have you catching a fade 😤

This one’s part career advice, part real talk, part chaos—and you’ll feel seen, dragged, and entertained all at the same time.

This week, we asked the internet: What’s your most controversial opinion? …and y’all did not disappoint. From parenting and weddings to job hunting and even fast food on Affirm (yes, for real), we’re reacting to the internet’s spiciest takes—and dropping a few of our own.

We get into:

• Why some people just shouldn't have kids
• Whether childhood obesity is abuse
• The debate on euthanasia and dying with dignity
• Men being more emotional than women (yes, we said it)
• The great wedding scam (spoiler: debt ≠ love)
• How knowing someone shouldn't be the only way you get hired
• And a story about someone stealing tea bags at a spa... because of course

We also roast people going into debt over Labubus, reflect on how we budgeted our way out of financial messes, and talk about that viral TikTok of the woman who got fired over McDonald's and Uber Eats. It’s chaotic, honest, and very on brand.

This week, we’re back with Part 2 of a relationship story so chaotic, we had to split it up. Remember the guy whose wife’s best friend was sitting on his lap, asking for emotional support...and maybe even a ring? Yeah. He finally sat them both down—and now everything’s out in the open.

Turns out, the wife made a wild decision to let her best friend “borrow” her husband’s emotional availability…as practice. What could go wrong, right?

Jocelyn and Jade break down the update with hilarious, blunt, and brutally honest commentary. From emotional cheating and gaslighting to friendship boundaries and bad decisions, this one has all the drama—and some serious real talk.

And as always, we go off-script:

• Why some people treat their careers like a personality
• K-pop stans and themed party overkill
• Our beef with the BMI scale and calorie-counting culture
• Plus, a random deep dive into the Thong Song origin story (you’re welcome)

This episode has laughs, lessons, and chaos… just how we like it.
