The [ir]Regulars are back with another guest and trust us when we say, you'll want to listen to this one! In our longest interview to date, we meet 31-year-old widow Rebecca DiTore who recently lost her husband and partner of more than 15 years to cancer. From diagnosis to his final days, Rebecca walks us through what it was like serving as her late husband, Mike's, primary caregiver while raising a toddler and a newborn, and trying to process her own grief.

Thank you Rebecca for your courage and strength, having the opportunity to sit with you and hear your story was inspiring beyond words.

Work/life balance is something we all strive for, but how many of us can say we've actually achieved it? In this episode, the [ir]Regulars welcome back Joey Cheesesteak, the podcast's longest-returning guest thus far [see Ep. 32 + Ep. 12], to talk about work-related stress and why we let it run our lives. Join us as Joey drops some sultry-ass-sounding wisdom, Kaity cries on the microphone for the first time, and Bobby contemplates his career-driven mindset.

"Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life."

WE'RE BACK... on our bullsh#!t baby. It's been over a year since the [ir]Regulars sat down to record and boy, do we have a lot to cover! In our first episode of season 3, Bobby reveals a newly discovered truth about why he's been unlucky in the romance department... to which Kaity responds by calling him a douche. From career updates, to breakups, to mental health check-ins and so much more, the [ir]Regulars try their best to recap the last 365+ days. Be sure to listen to the end to hear Kaity wrap up the episode with a public apology to an ex that none of us [including Bobby] saw coming.

Shout out to the [real] ones rejoining us on this wild ride. We can't wait to see what the next chapter brings. If there's one thing we know for sure, it'll be an [ir]Regular ride. Cheers to season 3!

Happy mental health awareness month [ir]Regulars! In this episode, we meet Alex Compton, a new father with a background in social work and mental health advocacy. What starts out as a deep dive into the new challenges of parenthood from a father's perspective ends up taking a sharp, unexpected turn. Around minute 54, the conversation shifts to a more serious note when Alex opens up about being a Black man in America today raising a Black son. In Alex's words, people need to hear this... and we couldn't be more thankful to him for granting us the opportunity to have this difficult, yet important discussion.

After eight long months, the [ir]Regulars are pumped to bring you the very first guest of season two. Joining us live from her bedroom, we are thrilled to introduce you to one of the most positive, down a** chicks we've had on the show thus far. Following a tragic, early morning accident after bartending shift, Nikki Walsh found herself pinned under a tractor trailer and battling for her life. In this episode, Nikki, a licensed personal trainer, walks us through what it was like to suffer a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down, and how she has persevered through an obstacle that would've otherwise halted many others. 

As promised, the [ir]Regulars are back with a new monthly episode. Since we know you missed us so much during the hiatus, we decided to give you another episode of Bobby and Kaity rocking out without a guest. In this episode, we discuss self esteem - what it is, why it's important, what roles it plays in relationships/life, and how we can work to improve it. We also feature a very impromptu PSA about non-iPhone users and their overwhelming inferiority to the general public. Sorry not sorry.

After nearly six months since the [ir]Regulars took an unannounced break, Bobby and Kaity are finally back on the mic and ready to spill the tea about what the hell has been going on and what led us to the infamous hiatus. From breakups to new jobs to depression and so much more… welcome to season two, [ir]Regulars.

Guess who’s sober? You’re right, it’s not Kaity. It’s our guest this week. Joining the ir[Regulars] to talk about his new lease on life is Alec, a former coworker of Bobby’s who is eight years sober and crushing the battle against mental health and sobriety every single day. Alec’s shares his story of rock bottom - which for him looked like drunk driving through the quad at college - and how his strength to take control [before it was too late] saved his life.

The title speaks for itself. You’ve heard us mention it countless times in previous episodes. This week, the [ir]Regulars finally reveal that “big event” in Bobby’s life that served as a huge turning point for him mentally, emotionally… and legally. Bobby opens up about an experience unlike anything we’ve heard before and how it shaped him to becoming the resilient [and anxious] person he is today.

"What's your favorite color? I have Alopecia." Glad we have your attention, we promise that'll make more sense [and make you laugh] later. In this week's episode, the [ir]Regulars are joined by badass baldie, Rikki, who developed Alopecia universalis at four years old. Rikki tells us what it was like growing up with this condition through childhood, the terrible teenage years, and finally coming into her own as a young adult [and smokin' hot model]. From dating to bullying to charity and poems, Rikki tells her story about learning to love and accept herself for exactly who she is, and who she wants to be.
