Say Something Nice or Remain Silent (We Spiraled Instead)

🎙️ Episode: “Say Something Nice or Remain Silent (We Spiraled Instead)”
📅 January 24 – Compliment Day

This episode is sponsored by movie rentals, emotional damage caused by the 90s, and men who will never live up to Patrick Swayze. 🕯️💃🫠

We kick things off with a Listener Confession from Tina Green, who bravely admits that every time she listens to us, it directly impacts her husband’s bank account. 🎬💸 Between Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Ashten is RIGHT—Ben is the hottest), Gone With the Wind (Jen is ALSO right—Scarlett is a certified brat), Oklahoma, and our cabaret-induced spiral into Beaches, Sleepless in Seattle, and The First Wives Club… the rentals are adding up FAST.

And then Tina casually drops the most unhinged confession of all—she talks back to us through her TV and pretends she’s in bed with us during the episode.
Honestly? That’s friendship. That’s commitment. That’s alarming. 🤦‍♀️📺🛏️

AFTER confessions, Ashten absolutely loses it and goes on a full rant about how 90s movies RUINED relationships by setting wildly unrealistic expectations. We’re talking:
    •    Grand gestures
    •    Soulmates
    •    Men who magically understand emotions
    •    And the emotional chokehold of Ghost

Which leads to Ashten boldly declaring she is still waiting on her Patrick Swayze pottery-wheel, Ghost-style moment because frankly… the bar was set and it has NOT been met. 🕯️👻💔

From there we veer into Carpool Karaoke chaos—who are you choosing to ride shotgun and scream lyrics with you, and who is absolutely banned from touching the aux cord?

Jen then tells the story of an Uber driver who is convinced an actual angel once rode in his car, and we attempt (and fail) to unpack that information responsibly. 😇🚗

Because it’s Compliment Day, we end things by asking the real questions:
👉 What’s the compliment someone gave you that still lives rent-free in your head?
Not “you’re a good mom” or “you’re a good friend”—but the one that stopped you in your tracks and stuck with you forever.

It’s emotional. It’s hilarious. It’s wildly unhinged.
Talk back to your TV. Lower your expectations (thanks, 90s movies).
And remember:

Say something nice… or remain silent.
(We clearly chose chaos.)
