This week we're on the couch with Licensed Professional Counselor, Mary Beth Kollar to chat about the always important self-care and mental health. Nowadays, we could all use a little help, don'tcha think? Pam & Sarah dive deep with Mary Beth about how and why therapy helps, the stigma surrounding seeking help, and how to build the perfect self-care routine. But because laughter really can be the best medicine, we're keeping things light by analyzing Sarah's wacky (or just wack) dreams, Pam's nagging fears, and as always, rounding things out with 2 silly silly games: Quickfire and Analyze This! Tune in and remember to just do you, boo. <3

Bring out that apron and dive into that recipe...let's see what BAKING can do! Pam & Sarah are whisking you away with talk of that hobby that everybody took up while in quarantine. Sourdough starters, measuring techniques, and unacceptable substitutions for butter are just a few of the ingredients in this week's hilarity. And you don't wanna miss these games! We're serving you a cringe-worthy, baking catastrophe "Would You Rather" and bringing back Sarah's not-quite-passable Julia Child for a "What Could Go Wrong" cooking show improv scene. So whether you're a from-scratch goddess or a boxed-cake-mix baller, mix it up with us!

3...2...1...so long 2020! We're counting down to the New Year and reminiscing on all the memories 2020 has *ahem* graced us with. Can you say toilet paper hoarding?? On this week's episode, Pam & Sarah share their resolutions, NYE battle stories, and the key to an epic New Years Day brunch. And to top it all off, we've got two fresh AF games for ya! First up, "Guess that Shenanigan", a rapid NYE themed guess-that-word round robin, followed by Impersonation Station: Resolution edition (this one's a can't miss...these gals make total fools of themselves). So join us this week and let's all ring in the New Year with giggles and gumption!

Merry Everything and Happy Always, ya filthy animals! We're decking the halls with Holiday cheer, talk of traditions of Holidays past, and two festive-ass games to give you some giggles during this most wonderful time of the year. We're talkin' Sarah's childhood Santa magic, baby Pam's tights wedgie during midnight mass, pine needles that are basically nature's version of glitter, and late night, half drunk caroling on an icy hill. Games this week feature a world-wide Holiday tradition slap-a-palooza and an epic Christmas movie throwdown. Get ready to ho-ho-ho and HA-HA-HA -- it's the first ever Don't Tease the Animals Holiday Special!

Comedy royalty in the house y'all! This week we're joined by Betsy Stover, host of the hilarious podcast, Why Mommy Drinks, teacher with the prestigious UCB-LA, and co-founder of Illuminati Improv. Up this week -- it's parenthood at it's finest, and you know what that means -- POOP TRIGGER WARNING. Belly-laughs abound as these gals trade motherhood war stories: the epic wins, the unending embarrassments, and, of course, kiddos' heinous bodily functions. As always, we're closing out the episode with two funny, funny games -- "What's in Your Purse, Tho?" and a "Tell Me A Story" that's very Kids Say the Darndest Things. Get ready to giggle...this is a good one.

This week Sarah & Pam go "Behind the Velvet Rope" with pop culture insider and podcast superstar, David Yontef. If there's tea, it's getting spilled...even though Sarah still doesn't really know what that means. Pam and David are here to guide her (and you) through all things Bravo, Housewives, and reality TV...from Ramona's branzino to a Drag Race debate, nothing is off limits. David shares some of his best and worst interview highlights, secrets to getting all the press, and a little inside dish on his upcoming lineup. And don't forget the games! This week we're bringing back fan-favorite, Craigslist or Catfish: Bravolebrities and Housewives, the Movie, where David and the gals cast and set the scene for a hilarious, hijinx-loaded roadtrip adventure featuring all your favorite ladies of leisure...maybe someday Andy Cohen himself will produce this badboy.
