As always, Sara is following the latest beauty trends and got a salmon sperm facial and it dominates the conversation in this week's episode of Special Friends Podcast. Mary is rightfully confused, and learns more about salmon c*m than anyone should know. Mary goes engagement ring shopping alone, they talk diner breakfasts, brown uncle coffee shops and the 4 C's of blood diamonds vs. "farm raised" (lab grown) ones.

!!!!!SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! On this week's episode, Mary and Sara break down everything they've read and watched lately including, "The Substance" movie, the books, "Creedence" and "Pretty Girls" and also talk in depth about how Mary loves a well written drama that makes her cry, but Sara feels more connected to reality TV stars.

Sometimes things don't go as planned and this episode is a perfect example of that. Mary and Sara recorded an entire hour episode catching up from their weekends and as soon as the cameras went off, Sara launched an entire spiritual vs. technology debate on the couch, so the girls turned everything back on and give you this. What side do you fall on?

This episode starts hot with a fight between Mary and Sara because Mary is convinced Sara is trying to sabotage her "one big break." Mary is in the process of applying for a TV project and while they seem interested, Mary has already dreamed up every possible scenario. Turns out, Sara does the same thing, but when it comes to love and relationships. They talk about how you should like your partner, dating nice guys, and Sara's scandalous return to the dating scene.

All of the cliff hangers from last week are answered! This episode is a deep dive on the modern art installation that Sara was preparing for (with a broken toe) in our last episode. Mary holds nothing back with criticisms of modern art in general and also catches us up on her trip to Miami and first in person call back for an acting gig.

In what is their most confrontational moment yet, this episode does not disappoint. Mary has severe allergies and is about to leave for Miami, Sara has a broken toe and Mary is certain she's not going to take care of it and push herself beyond limits for an upcoming gig. There's love, anger, yelling, apologies, screams, laughs, sarcasm, feet, and a little bit of learning about huffing gas along the way.

In this episode Mary and Sara are talking all things side pieces. While neither condone cheating, both have found themselves as "the other woman." Sara's story of a homeless dad is much more tame to Mary's story of getting caught in the act and her entire life derailing from one night with a man. We don't want to give away too much, so just listen and like and share and don'e lie or cheat kthx

Mary and Sara realize they haven't sat down and had a conversation in over a month, so they're catching up on today's episode. They both share stories about trips to Gatlinburg, TN. Mary went as a first trip with her boyfriend and it was a lovely disaster, and Sara goes with her family every year, including and 9yr old nephew who is a huge trump supporter. The girls cover workout classes, a wild NYC audition, moonshine, vegetarians and how cats choose to show affection in the worst ways.

Sara is back from the desert and man, did she have a TIME! She was sent to Coachella last minute on a brand deal, and Mary is here to analyze and poke fun at the entire experience, which happens to be one of the best of Sara's life. Enjoy talks of influencers, making real money, past festival experiences, pregnancy tests, going to concerts solo, and "the activation house."

The girls are a day late and a dollar short and WE'RE SORRY OKAY?!?! Mary and Sara were both on the road this week and recap their trips including tales of horned up old ladies, mountain secrets, infected bug bites, cold plunges, small town comedy shows, library theirs , Sara's moms spiritual awakening, what they would do with a terminal diagnosis and so much more.
