Bailey Bowlin and Gillian Johnson get real about what’s actually happening behind those perfect social media relationships. From mental health and medication to family drama, financial stress, and everyday annoyances—nothing’s off limits.

They dive into chosen family, online facades, and the messy reality of maintaining relationships off-camera. It’s honest, chaotic, and painfully relatable.

Because not everything is as perfect as it looks—and honestly, thank God for that.

This week, Bailey and Gill prove that no inconvenience is too small to spiral into a full-blown rant. From car fuse chaos and tech that refuses to cooperate, to workplace nonsense and deeply uncomfortable bathroom encounters... nothing is safe.

Somewhere between celebrating years of friendship and questioning every human behavior in existence, things take a turn into global territory (because yes, apparently people everywhere are acting like this). Whether it’s customer service nightmares, corporate communication that makes zero sense, or the universal struggle of just… existing in public, this episode covers it all.

It’s unfiltered, it’s relatable, and it’s aggressively loud in all the right ways.

Because at the end of the day... sleep is ruining lives, everything is too loud, and we’re all just trying to figure out…

what exactly are we mad about?

This week on Disgruntled, Bailey and Gill are back (yes, alive and well—despite rumors of emotional abandonment) and catching you up on everything from chaos, grief, and travel mishaps to the tiny, irrational things that absolutely send us over the edge.

We kick things off with complaints that range from “where the hell did you go?” (valid) to weather apps gaslighting us, apartments with zero soundproofing, and people who think sending 147 unread messages is a personality trait. Truly, the villains are everywhere.

But it’s not all yelling into the void—okay, it mostly is—but we also get real about navigating grief, finding normalcy after loss, and how life doesn’t exactly pause while you’re trying to process it. It’s honest, it’s a little unhinged, and it’s exactly what you needed.

So whether you’re emotionally dependent on this podcast, personally victimized by humidity forecasts, or just here for the chaos… welcome home. We missed you. Don’t ever scare us like that again.

Episode 32: My Etsy Witch, Gloria

This week, Bailey and Gill spiral (lovingly) through a chaotic recap of concerts, travel plans, gas prices, weather mood swings, and the overstimulation of simply existing. From spilled drinks and mom moments to Bailey consulting his Etsy witch Gloria (yes, really), the conversation bounces between practical life updates and deeply unserious observations about everything happening around them.

They get into fashion sizing frustrations, body image spirals, seasonal allergies, car wash woes, and the eternal search for the perfect climate — plus a few political tangents and listener moments that remind them why this community stays undefeated.

✨ Curious about Gloria? Check out her Etsy shop here!!

It’s overstimulated, slightly unhinged, very funny, and painfully relatable — just how we like it.

This week on Disgruntled, we start with wardrobe malfunctions, dog chaos, and weekend recaps… and somehow end up unpacking the emotional Olympics of being the family peacekeeper.

Bailey shares a major life update (yes, that promotion 👀), Gill gives us pet-induced stress that no one asked for, and somewhere between home renovations and sibling group chats, we get honest about what it costs to be “the responsible one.”

We talk about:

• Promotions and what they actually feel like

• The emotional labor of keeping the peace

• When sibling dynamics never leave middle school

• Why some friendships are seasonal — and that’s not a failure

• And how to stop volunteering yourself for problems that aren’t yours

At some point you realize you’ve been holding everything together for everyone… and no one asked you to.

Maybe it’s time to come back to yourself.

As always, it’s therapy — but with less crying and more boundary setting.

This week, we’re spiraling — but make it productive.

Bailey and Gillian kick things off with life updates that feel suspiciously like character development: laundry that refuses to be folded, home renovations that have entered their villain era, and the subtle art of pretending you’re “almost done” with a project that started three months ago.

From there? Absolute chaos.

Listener submissions bring dating disasters (please be on time, it’s not that hard), DIY meltdowns, and a game night that should’ve required waivers. Bailey declares his unwavering love for Catan. Gillian questions the stability of anyone who flips a Monopoly board. Somewhere in the middle, we unpack the Great Office Pen Heist and why certain pens — yes, we’re looking at you, Pilot Precise V7 RT — hit different.

It’s procrastination. It’s renovation delusion. It’s dating etiquette. It’s competitive board game trauma. It’s the little daily grievances that somehow feel like personality traits.

And through it all?

“I love my life.”

“I love Catan.”

Same energy. Different fonts.

Grab your favorite pen (guard it with your life), fold your laundry tomorrow, and press play.

This week, Bailey and Gillian are unpacking everything from workplace gender dynamics to Valentine’s Day delusions — because apparently we’re covering all the red flags.

It starts with a very real encounter with gendered expectations and spirals (naturally) into creative frustration at work, cultural reactions to Super Bowl chaos, and why accountability feels illegal in 2026.

Then we pivot. Hard.

From romantic disappointment to full-blown “this is not normal behavior,” the hosts break down relationship red flags, emotional readiness, and the fine line between persistence and stalking. At one point, the phrase “you need to run” is used. More than once.

It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable. It’s culturally aware. And it’s a reminder that communication is hot, accountability is necessary, and your safety is not up for negotiation.

As always: we’re not overreacting. We’re observing.

This week on Disgruntled, boundaries are crossed, lines are blurred, and absolutely no one is being normal.

We hear from a listener who discovered her brother has been secretly coaching her boyfriend through their arguments like it’s a playoff game, another who calmly, intentionally, and without regret keyed a car that dared to take up two parking spaces, and a brunch betrayal that proves “don’t tell anyone” now means “tell everyone but pretend it’s concern.” Plus, a breakup where the ex didn’t just move on — he absorbed an entire personality and is now walking around like a knockoff brand with opinions.

Meanwhile, Bailey — a punctual adult who respects clocks, calendars, and other people’s time — goes on a full rant about chronic lateness, the audacity of “I’m five minutes away,” and why being late is not a personality trait, it’s a choice. The episode also takes a firm, unapologetic stance against transitional lenses, because some things are still wrong and need to be said out loud.

It’s invasive. It’s petty. It’s deeply validating.

You’re not wrong. You’re just disgruntled.

Snowed in and slightly losing it, Bailey and Gillian talk winter chaos, cleaning spirals, and why snow days mean very different things depending on who raised you. Between household frustrations, family dynamics, and the general weight of existing right now, the conversation covers societal timelines, personal expectations, and the pressure to have life “figured out” by a certain age.

Somewhere in the middle of all that? Bailey cries. For the first time. After 27 episodes. We don’t make a big deal about it—but it is noted for the record.

From there, things go exactly where you’d expect: modern dating. The hosts break down soft launches, engagement expectations, dating app drama, and one truly unhinged porcelain doll situation. They talk mind games, social media oversharing, and why taking your time in relationships is not a moral failure.

It’s an episode about cleaning too much, caring too much, minding your business, paying the water bill, and remembering that the timeline you choose is, unfortunately for everyone else, the correct one.

This week, Bailey and Gillian are simply trying to survive adulthood without screaming in the grocery store parking lot.

They unpack the emotional chaos of winter—when the weather lies, motivation disappears, and every errand feels like a personal attack. From panic-buying groceries before a light dusting of snow, to the soul-sucking reality of student loan payments, the week spirals exactly how you’d expect. Add in family group chats you’re not included in, boundary-setting that feels like betrayal, and the collective exhaustion of trying to stay mentally afloat.

And because dating can always make things worse, the episode takes a hard turn into modern romance hell—including a date who brought a literal spreadsheet to evaluate compatibility. (Yes. A spreadsheet.)

At its core, this episode is about resisting the urge to compare your life to everyone else’s highlight reel, trusting your own timeline, and finding humor in the fact that none of us actually know what we’re doing. If you’ve ever thought, “Am I behind, or is everything just bad right now?” — welcome. You’re among friends.
