**CONTENT WARNING**


This episode contains discussions of Sexual Trauma and Suicide. We completely understand if you need to skip this episode. We love you, and we hear you. 

Sexual Trauma comes in many forms and is an EXCEEDINGLY difficult topic to discuss. The experience can feel very isolating and can lay a heavy blanket of shame on you that you didn’t ask for. Everyone’s trauma responses are different, and every response is valid. LJ and Di discuss an episode of 13 Reasons Why and share some startling statistics to show us we are not alone. Also dick pics are discussed because, obviously. 

Episode two comes in hot with friend fights. Di chose her favorite Parks and Rec episode, and LJ went to her favorite, New Girl. Have you ever discussed using a breast pump as a weapon? They have! They also chat about the art of the three day latte, misplaced expectations, the inevitability of finding yourself drunk in a bar bathroom crying with ten new drunk besties, and if they’ve ever laid hands on someone (spoiler alert one of them has). 

This first Chick Shit episode is on female friendships, and two absolute queens…Romy and Michelle, guide us through it. LJ and Di break down the realities of friend relationships from beginning to middle and potentially end and compare it to Romy and Michelle’s arc in this film. Not all friends are friends for life, and that’s okay. Life changes, jaguar dealerships apparently pay really well, and glue has a very complex chemical makeup. They get into comparison in friendships, create a new word, and discuss NOT WANTING THE SPRITE.
