In this episode of Disgruntled, Gillian Johnson and Bailey Bowlin spiral gracefully into the kind of chaos only addiction, academia, and anonymous complaints can create. Gillian opens up about her ongoing battle with quitting nicotine — complete with the mood swings, mental gymnastics, and comedic self-awareness that only she can deliver. Meanwhile, Bailey is one discussion post away from filing a grievance against every group project ever assigned in graduate school.

Between nicotine withdrawals and academic meltdowns, the duo dives into listener submissions packed with rants, confessions, and painfully relatable everyday frustrations. From relationship misfires to mental health wake-up calls, this episode blends honesty with humor in true Disgruntled fashion — messy, heartfelt, and just unhinged enough to make you feel better about your own week.

Whether you’re trying to quit a habit, survive a semester, tolerate your partner, or simply avoid participating in another group project with people who definitely don’t read instructions… this one hits home.

By the end, Gillian and Bailey remind listeners of something we all forget: self-love, self-awareness, and a little rage can coexist beautifully. And if you’ve got a rant bubbling under the surface? You know where to send it.
