Everyone give a big warm welcome to our girl TRISH. This episode starts off with a lot of animal talk. Rach brings her dogs to a photo sesh and it all goes terribly wrong, and Jess's dogs collab on a murder. Two words- rodent juice. And the Rosche-Pridemore fam officially has a new member, Queen Queenie! It's 3 weeks until Rach's wedding so things are in full swing for her, and she can't recommend making your own wedding bands enough - shout out to Danielle and Bobby from The Circle Craft in Cleveland!

Our guest today is a former Jess Cart bride, dog rescuer, therapist for the LGBTQ community, FB+W listener, and just a general dope human. Trisha helps lead us in a conversation about coming out + allyship through the lens of a therapist. We loved hearing her perspective and knowledge throughout this conversation and we hope you do too. She gives some TOTD for coming out and being an ally, and we think this is such an important conversation and we are so happy we got to have it. 

Happy Pride Month Everyone! We see you and love you and honor you. You deserve to be here.

WELCOME BACK to another episode where Jess and Rach talk wedding stuff! Rach starts us off telling us a story of how a troubled adult approached her and asked her out. Wait till you hear this pick up line, low key cringe. Jess and Rach catch up and set the record straight about how they use comedic relief in their job and in no way are ungrateful or calling anyone out personally. We love our couples and would literally get on our knees in 80 degree weather to bustle the shit out of their dress, so forgive us as we find humor in what we do to get through.

The meat of today's episode is SURPRISE, wedding stuff. We revisit our very first episode titled, "Toad Vibes & The Top 8 Things You Should Know Before Your Wedding." (Season 1, Episode 1)  Now in 2022 and with Rach currently planning with her wedding, we are giving you our newest top pieces of wedding planning advice. From planning your playlist to intentional time, you don't want to miss these top TOTD's.

HAPPY MOTHER EFFING PRIDE MONTH Y'ALL. This ep starts out with some Facebook Marketplace (aka FBM) banter. Who else loves the thrill of finding and scoring a deal? Or is it just the Midwest in us? Jess gets a serious case of period mouth, so apologies in advance. Joe gave Jess a serious ick while riding a scooter, and Rach can relate with some recent icks her fiancé has given her. The girls talk all things Survivor finale *SPOILER ALERT*, and you know they had to bond over their love of Love on The Spectrum. 

The meat this week is brought to us by our listeners. We asked for your deal breakers and boy did you DELIVER. Long nails, polo shirts, cargo shorts, mouth kissing mamas boys, the list goes on and on... We had such a blast reading your icks and deal breakers and we hope you enjoy this lighthearted episode!

Welcome welcome! Buckle in for some big time banter for the intro of this eppy. Rach brings up one of her most toxic traits and talks a little about wedding budgeting... Jess tells us all about the super flower blood moon and she drops some serious urination tips and tricks. Jess reads a 'something good' DM from one of our listeners and we are truly team #freethefupa. Before the meat this week the girls answer a wedding planning DM, which goes into detail on budgeting, compromise, and the value of arguing with your partner. 

Parents... we know them, we love them, but do we like planning weddings with them?? Jess and Rach dig up some horror stories they've seen as wedding photographers, and talk about common dynamics between parents and their engaged children. What's the difference between a MOB and MOG? Was Freud onto something? How involved should your parents be? And when is a good time to start laying out some boundaries? We hope this episode gives you some solid TOTD for dealing with parents when wedding planning!

YO! Welcome back to another eppy of FB+W.  The girls waste no time jumping into some of their recent icks and catching each other up on life. Jess tells us a story how Joe embarrassed her the other night and then there is some awkward hemorrhoid banter. IYKYK.

CW: Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, abortion, grief

Jess and Rach are back together and they brought the 3rd member of TTP, Madison freaking Sharp. Mads hydrates from an interesting vessel, Jess talks about her droopy butt, and the girls get in a heated cottage cheese debate. Just a heads up that there were some major technical difficulties this episode, so Jess only makes it for the intro section. Mads and Rach got back together to rerecord the meat of the episode, so they had to relive their deepest trauma TWICE for the FB&W community - so give them some love. 

The meat this week is about pregnancy and loss. Rachel tells the story of her recent ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery she had to have, where she lost her pregnancy in the process. It's a heavy episode, supported by Madison and her experiences with her pregnancies, losses, and her journey to motherhood with her son Eric. Mads shares her perspective on seeing Rach and Josh go through this, and gives advice for people who are in partnerships where they not might be heard or safe. Rach and Mads try to shed light on a very difficult and painful process. If you are thinking they have all the answers... spoiler - they don't. We hope you feel supported, understood, and loved by us in this episode. We see you and your pain, and we want you to know you are not alone. 

***Heads up that we try to use gender neutral language when approaching the topic of pregnancy and birth, but we are not perfect. People with uteruses are not always women, and not only women give birth. We are always working to be more inclusive with our language, and know that we have space to grow in this arena!

Welcome back to another episode with surprise guests! We have Jess's friend's Meg and Abbey on the pod this week. They all worked together at an Autism School together and boy do they have stories to tell. From getting the shit kicked out of them and a student running away in a wet suit.

They gab and reminisce on old times working together, but also shed some light on maintaining friendships in adulthood. It ain't easy, but you have to put in the work. Meg Nye drops words from the wise and we aren't worthy.

It's safe to say the girls newest hyper fixation is the Survivor franchise, and the episode starts out with plenty of Survivor chats. Is a Survivor podcast in our future? You tell us! It was Easter this past weekend so you already know Jess was mixin' and mixin' and mixin' that plate up at family dinner. She also breaks out a little Methodist ditty, and Rach laughs about about some of her childhood church memories. Rach got triggered watching Jess's snap story earlier in the week, and the girls get plenty of laughs in before this very niche episode : The Ultimatum recap.

If you love trash reality dating shows like we do, we can't wait for you to hear our takes on the first season of this heavenly dumpster fire of a TV show. Nick and Vanessa Lachey really out did themselves with this one! Are the girls April stans? Which couples do they hate together? What lessons do we think can be taken from this show, and what conspiracies do we have about the whole thing? Jess and Rach give their two cents on the most controversial moments in the show, and they can't wait to hear what you guys think!

Your girls are BACK and the episode starts off strong with Rachel dropping a bomb on Jess. Which leads us to the question - what is the weirdest thing you've ever done for money? The girls share a lot of laughs after Rachel comes clean about how she spent her morning. Rach fills everyone in on her dress buying trip to Chicago and gives her advice and new found knowledge after saying "yes to the dress" (too chueg??). Jess finally receives her Christmas gift from Rach and it has us reflecting on #2021yearofgrowth. Jess and Rach bond over their new Survivor obsession, and Rach tries to be relevant by watching the newest reality TV craze, but Jess already beat her to it. 

The meat this week is a lot of music talk, and a lot of jokes. We want you all to know how much we love you and we love your love, but maybe if your first dance was to 'At Last' you had a high neckline dress and got married in a barn?? Maybe if your first dance song was "Honeybee" you had your Bach party in Nashville?? Maybe you are basic as hell and we are here to say we see you and we honor you! Most of the shade thrown was also shade we could through at ourselves, so we hope you know this episode was all in good fun! Over 100 people submitted their first dance songs, and we are so thrilled to have you all a part of the FB&W community!
