Episode 9 Part 1 gave you a peek into Debbie and Ashley’s aunt-niece madness, Part 2 is a full-blown backstage pass. Recorded in a Vegas hotel room, Jennifer and Jackie dive back in with these two ride-or-dies for even more outrageous stories, vintage fashion regrets, unexpected celebrity run-ins, and the kind of funeral pep talks only they could pull off.
From accidentally watching vampire porn with Grandpa to inhaling a fart bomb (and calling Poison Control—twice), this episode proves that Debbie and Ashley’s bond is part comedy duo, part emotional lifeline, and 100% chaos. They share why they don’t let outsiders mess with their vibe, how music became their shared love language, and why even the weirdest family moments become the most cherished memories.

If you’ve ever loved someone so much you can’t decide whether to protect them or prank them, this episode is your people.
