What should you get your best friend for their birthday? According to Jon: Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. In today’s episode, we’re talking MONEY, HONEY and the expectations surrounding gift giving. Jon gets pretty heated in this one, so you may want to lower the volume on your speakers. If you take one thing from this episode, it’s this: Do not buy Jon gifts. Ever. Alex will gladly accept though!

“You know you’re adopted, right? I’m telling mom!” In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss sibling relationships and how you can be best friends as kids and enemies as adults. Your “built-in best friend” doesn’t sound so great when they’re stealing your inheritance or picking the same baby names as you. People say Alex and Jon look like siblings and although they swear they’re “husband and wife”…it makes you think why they always argue…like children.

In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss friendships and all the intricacies and nuances that come with forming and retaining relationships in adulthood. Friendships aren’t as easy as they used to be. Alex could use fifteen more friends while Jon wants fifteen less. The only new person Jon wants in his life is his daughter…and that’s pushing it!

If Jon made an OnlyFans, would you subscribe? I think we all would. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss OnlyFans, oral hygiene, and harsh comebacks. Jon may have the body for OnlyFans but when it comes to comebacks, he lacks major…how you say…je ne sais quoi. We can leave the diss tracks to Alex. She’s pregnant so she’s got a natural fire under her butt.
