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.
