Anyone else feeling like it's expensive just to wake up in the morning?! Maybe these ladies have the hack figured out...new season of Buns & Banter has arrived!

Things get intimate as we bare the down there & ask WHY women's health has gotten such little attention? And we prove the next study should probably be us...

Aly & Shmitty break down the Justin Baldoni/Blake Lively legal drama & look at the bad side of fame. Is there such a thing as bad press?

The health news that had us reeling & speaking of Reels, can't we just maintain our messiness on TikTok?

WE'RE BACK!  New Year, new us?! Never. We need hobbies, healthy habits & serious help. We missed you guys! Attempting to find our calm start with some crafty moves?

Sucked down a millennial black hole on social, are we even doing life, right? What are these milestones & is it just us feeling it? Plus, free feet.

We get real female-friendly & have we officially achieved full WAG status?!

Some days you're the wag, some days you're the tacklebox. Its been a week but we held off the dumpster fire that COULD have ended this podcast...

Aly is the bachelorette superhero you didn't know you needed & Shmitty is kinda down with this disgruntled behavior...
