On this week's episode, Bridget's preparing for her next adventure and Colleen has ascended from the flu. Colleen finally watched Sweet Home Alabama and we HAD to talk about the new HBO documentary "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God" because it's the most out of pocket thing we've ever seen. Then we get into the topic of the week... SMALL TOWN GOSSIP. When you're family tree looks like a wreath... it's time to reassess. From Canadian cheese smugglers, to Brokeback mountain hunting trips to polyamorous and swinging couples, this episode has ALL the tea! We end with a game of "rules for my kidnapper" and some positive stories of the week. Remember, if there's no ring, there's no kidney!!! #NoVennDiagrams

And someone in prison is getting a very special present soon. Then we get into the topic of the week... THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HANNAH UPP. Colleen digs into Hannah's rear case of dissociative fugue and her multiple disappearances leading up to her final one in St. Thomas. You know how she be, fugueing. Is she still out there? Would you wear a house arrest anklet? Can someone give Barbara some peace?! Then we play a game of "our Spotify Wrapped if it had nothing to do with music." Ship our shit to St. Thomas so we can look for Hannah!!

On this week's episode, we still haven't moved off the couch and we've got baked potato soup this time! But no matter how hard she tries, Colleen will never turn Bridget into a soup person. Colleen has a VERY exciting update for us, Carrie Nation lost brownie points, and the Grinch is the most relatable person in Whoville. Then we get into the topic of the week... COMPETITIVE TICKLING. Yes, you read that correctly. David Farrier simply stumbled upon a video on the internet one day and you will not BELIEVE this rollercoaster story and where it will go next. Then we play a game of "certified jump scares" and leave you with some positive stories of the week. Someone help! We're becoming our mothers!!!

The pop princess herself!!! Bridget digs into Britney's family history, how she grew up and how she shot into another stratosphere of fame. We end with a Britney medley, a game of "The types of girls who would be eligible for the draft" and some positive stories. We hope you're all doing better than the two of us!!!
