We lost the plot for a second there, so this is LATE! But here is the FINALE! OK WE LOVE YOU BYE!

Steph drops by the studio (Ash's kitchen) for the penultimate episode of the season & shares a gossip about a battle over a stone bench. Lauren gossips about one million things too numerous to mention, but including beef between an erotica writer and Market Basket. And Ash tells a story about Goose on the Loose, a monitor lizard "gripping the community." Ash reads reviews of a joint she has some old beef with, and everyone laments the fall of Rite Aid. The psychological probe this week is a three-parter, so get some paper and a pen or open your Notes app, and let's get into the feeeeeels. And finally, Steph shares out of her teen journals. Sorry the audio levels are weird on this one!

One of the most critical things you can do when you are a middle school girl is to give your crush a code name. Hell, the Babes STILL do this. And in this episode, you'll hear multiple code names AND you can see diagrams of the code names on Instagram via a middle school note to Lauren. In this week's installment, Lauren gossips about the famous people who have apparently visited Maine this summer, and Ash tells a busybody's gossip about a contentious city council race! The Babes take a psychological quiz, and then get RIGHT to it for I Could Just Diary in which we all hear the first BOY NOTE of the pod and hear about Ash's first high school boyfriend, Josiah. Then Lauren REALLY brings it home with a note SHE wrote but never gave to Molly, and it is incredible. It actually refers to her and three of her friends as "the 4 Cools." Omg.

Listen. The immortal words are, "If you want blood, you got it"--NOT "If you want blood, too bad, you already bought the tickets." The Babes gossip about the recent no-blood GWAR show at Hampton Beach, and some mild shit-talking about a random dude named Andre from Transylvania who won't stop bothering one of Ash's friends. Reviews are back this week, and who knew people had such intense feelings about the post office?? The Babes dub the potpourri segment The Psychological Probe, and figure out each other's Drag Names and Rapper Names. And I Could Just Diary brings some more note action from now-famous Molly suffering and summering in " hot smelly country music playing bug infested Hickville, Arkansas" and a few total gems from Ash's journal about hot actors in 1995. We'll just say that Legends of the Fall was preeetty influential, it seems.

If there's one true thing about this podcast, it's that we ride hard for Gordon Lightfoot. And today is no different. No further explanation on that. Ash brought two gossips related to signs. That you stick in the ground. Not the signs from the Universe. And Lauren brought a gossip from a 12-year-old who literally asked her, "So, have you heard the latest?" Little Babe in training, tell us everything. *manicure emoji* Then they reveal last week's reviewed local business and Lauren reads the reviews of another one for you to guess. The hint is "pumpkin bread." The Babes do an animal-based personality quiz, and everyone wants to know what you picked! And finally, I Could Just Diary is back this week, with Lauren reading four randomly-selected middle school NOTES she has saved. And by some sort of magic, all four were written by the same friend whom Lauren referred to both as "a polo-shirt-buttoned-to-the-top band geek" AND "an Academic Beavis."

HELLO. Surprise. We have returned for the fourth season of this nonsense!! Sorry we gave you little to no warning, but here we are. And we are giving you what so many of you requested--a public statement on the closing of Hearth. We give you a little update on what's been going on for the last year, and then we get RIGHT into it. We have two new segments--a local restaurant guess-who segment, and I Could Just Diary (we stole the name, shout out Knate & the prior Portsmouth event by the same name). In the first, one Babe will read reviews from a local restaurant and the other Babe has to guess which restaurant it is. We will not reveal until the following episode, so you will get to guess too! And in I Could Just Diary, one of us will share some greatest hits from our teenage diaries. This week, Ash shares a couple bangers from her disaffected 16-year-old brain. The Lips Phone is down, but let us know which restaurant has the hardest carrots by emailing us at [email protected], follow us on Instagram & TikTok @babepatrolpod, and on Patreon at patreon.com/babepatrolpod.

Today the Babes cast pod with the boys of the Burst & Bloom Podcast--Dylan Metrano & Guy Capecelatro III--and it's a wild time! We miss you, we love you, and we hope you enjoy this weird & wooly crossover spectacular!! The Boys & the Babes listened to Burst & Bloom's 50th record label release, which is a cover album of songs written by bands on the label, covered by bands on the label (or bands associated with the label). There's music in this episode! And it's great! But there is ALSO gossip...even from the BOYS, including neighbor gossip (we know you love it), and all four of them watched the final Summer Flick: Psycho Beach Party! Enjoy!

Where haaaas the season gone? The light has shifted, August slipped away like a moment in time, September's gold is here, and two of the Babes have returned to school. The Babes end the season in absolute style with Steph at Fun-o-Rama, playing games and winning prizes. They all visited The Goldenrod in York, Maine and got banana splits! Ash gossips about the passing of the subject of an important Australian meme. Lauren brings the banana split historical gossip, which is a delightful trip back to the turn of the 20th century. And Steph unlocks yet ANOTHER Friendly's sundae--the Monster. Other notable discussions include: All You Can Top Ice Cream Buffet and our first kiss stories (like OMG gossip!) (Steph's involves the cops) (Lauren's involves a boy named Dorf) (Ash's involves kissing until her mouth went numb). The Final Summer Flick of the season is 2001's High Fidelity, and as such, all three Babes do a Top Five Summer Songs list, and talk about past audiophile boyfriends. We've loved spending this summer with you, busybodies, and we miss you already......but keep your eyes peeled because we MIGHT reappear on your feeds soooooon! We love you! Let us know your top five summer songs by calling or texting the Lips Phone at 207-544-9108, email us at [email protected], follow us on Instagram & TikTok @babepatrolpod, and on Patreon at patreon.com/babepatrolpod.

Hello! Sorry for being a little late to the party this week, busybodies, but please enjoy this Substitute Teacher Variety Hour!! Lauren was sick and could not record, so Ash was lucky enough to have some last-minute help for this episode. Lindsey joined to talk about some dating horrors, and the lessons that she has learned from the hijinks and struggles of dating on the apps! You've been asking for some bad dating stories, and Linds delivers! This week's Summer Flick is 2001's Wet Hot American Summer, and Guy Capecelatro III swung by to chat about summer camp, masturbati0n, Janeane Garofalo, and Loverboy. And NEXT WEEK, watch 2000's High Fidelity! And to wrap it all up, Taiese & Carson, two former clinic coworkers of Ash's, were the Ice Cream Dates this week, and in absolutely stunning news Taiese worked for YEARS as an ice cream scooper, and we get all the inside industry dirt! Don't worry, although it was fun assembling a scrappy team for this episode, our beloved Lauren will be returning next week!! Please let us know if you had your first kiss at summer camp by calling or texting the Lips Phone at 207-544-9108, email us at [email protected], follow us on Instagram & TikTok @babepatrolpod, and on Patreon at patreon.com/babepatrolpod.
