Special Friends Podcast

SARA'S SPECIAL "RUST BELT ROYALTY" IS OUT NOW EVERYWHERE GO WATCH IT!!!!!!!!

Because of upcoming schedules and overall lack of time together, the girls announce that starting in September, the podcast will be going from weekly to monthly. It will still be great and focused on more positive catch ups than day to day happenings. We also cover releasing a special, what that means for material after, inbreeding, the lottery, being a self made hillbilly, rearranging the house, changes to come and public meltdowns.

Sara decided on a random Tuesday that what she needed in her life was a mini Cooper from a man off Facebook marketplace. The girls dive deep into every aspect of this dangerous interaction and how they really shouldn't live together because any normal person would've asked at least one question.

OH MY GOD WERE BACK AGAIN!!!! Mary went to see Backstreet Boys at The Sphere in Las Vegas and it was one of the best weekends of her life! The girls talk about spending time with childhood friends as adults, how women are always teenagers when they get together (no matter their actual age), gambling for fun, Vegas actually being a good experience, sexual awakenings, and gambling parents being disappointed in you. Sara recaps her visit with her toxic ex and how he feels like home, but how that's not necessarily a good thing.

How many times can you go back to an ex before you realize it's just toxic and not meant to be? Well for Sara, that number is 5. or 6. She's lost count. Is she making excuses? Is this a terrible idea? The girls cover everything about toxic relationships as well as 35yr olds bringing back trends, Mary wanting to leave NYC to be closer to family, deviled eggs, the "red string theory" and Chloe makes a guest appearance on this week's episode.

In an unprecedented change of events, Mary isn't crying this week and Sara is actually the one opening up and being vulnerable after spending a weekend with her estranged siblings! The girls get deep about living through family members addiction, watching the people you love go in and out of jail, and trying to rebuild relationships that are seemingly lost. They cover toxic relationships, poor people habits, unnecessary loyalties, how cool recovery is and overall family trauma.

****TRIGGER WARNING****

As stated in the first minute of this episode, Mary and Sara are doing a deep dive into weight gain, weight loss, its affect on relationships, and life in general. How do you tell your partner you’re not attracted to them anymore? Do you tell them at all? This is a raw, real conversation around the delicate topic of our bodies changing

In a different kind of episode, Mary and Sara give advice to people in their 20ms, with very different approaches. Sara is more light hearted where Mary gets dark. The girls talk about cooking, dating, sex with strangers, money, forgiveness and fitting in. There is something for everyone in this episode. What advice would you give to your 22yr old self??

Back from a one week hiatus, Mary and Sara recap their time off and talk about Hilton Head Island, vacationing as a parent, rich people vs. poor people, Mary's new found fame, buying your own anniversary gift, baby fever, hey girlie texts and so much more.

***TRIGGER WARNING- SOBRIETY, RELAPSE, RECOVERY****

In some of her most candid moments yet, Mary opens up about the struggles of staying sober when the world seems like it is on fire. Sara does an amazing job being the voice of reason (what is happening???) and the two go back and forth about what should make you mad in the world, 12 step programs, healthy coping mechanisms, politics, anger issues, sobriety, recovery, relapse, discovering the Middle East is full of whole ass societies and so much more.

The girls went to a fancy, expensive, "hot people" gym and recount just exactly how Sara finally earned some respect from Mary. It only took a year and a half of living together and 5 months of podcasting, but this is a new peak in their relationship! They talk about being treated better when you have money, locker room rules around naked people, a hot woman stand off in the sauna, Mary's bad habit of correcting people, joining the Army and an Uber Share nightmare.
