The Gripe

Episode 68: "The Hate You Give" Special Book Club Edition by Gripe #1 (Alison) and Gripe #2 (Kai)

And.......we're back! After being off a week, Alison and Kai discuss the "why's" behind their absence from the airwaves. You'll have to tune into hear why. The meat of the Gripe today is, booze. We talk about it all from our first alcohol experience to the incessant "mommy needs wine" culture that is permeating society. See y'all there!

I think we can all agree it's easier to ignore a problem rather than be direct. This week on The Gripe, we're discussing the art of ghosting. We've done the ghosting and have also been the ghostees. So, what's the lesson? Is there one? Are we all just terrible people or is there room for forgiveness? See y'all there!

Get ready to join #teampetty this week, y'all. This week is all about what our deal breakers are for dating and we talk about it ALL. From the length of your finger and toe nails to how adventurous your appetite is for pineapple on pizza. Oh, and we're going to see Beyonce and her husband tonight. Just FYI. See y'all on The Gripe!

Did you ever have something that you loved so much that you thought it deserved a holiday? Well it turns out, lots of other people have as well and they've probably beat you to the punch. Sorry, you're late! This week on the podcast we chat about all of the craziest made up holidays there are out there and speak to the ones that really make us get in our feelings. See y'all there!

We’ve all been there. You look around at the situation you’ve found yourself in and think to yourself, “Am I really here? Is this happening?!” That’s what we talk about on this week’s episode of The Gripe. Topics covered today: photo shoots, mistresses, inappropriate savasanas, and lots of poop. See y’all there!

Eff Politeness! Kai and Alison are here to tell y'all that you do not need to be polite to spare other folks feelings. We are entering a new day and age, y'all. Today on the 'cast, we chat about the difference between being polite and being kind. And do we have things to say! Also, topics covered today: the Florence situation, Elon smoking up, Kamm pants, and Tori Spelling. See y'all there!

If we didn't have bad bosses, what would you bond over with your coworkers? This week's episode is allllll about bad bosses; not only have we had bad bosses, we've BEEN bad bosses. Oops! (I'm sure no one has Griped about Alison and Kai though.) Also on the 'cast this week; Elvin bagging coconut oil at Trader Joe's, MaryAnn trying to get into a home, Lindsay Lohan "living her best life," Colin Kap and Nike, and anonymous letters to the NY Times.

You know crazy things ensue when Kai and Alison hit the streets and go out on the town. The "town" being a suburban restaurant and a movie theater, however, we make everything fun. Today on the 'cast we chat about Instagram content, dining and dashing, the come up dude: Andrew Gillum, racism, Sen. John McCain's passing, Janet Jackson and Christian Siriano. The meat of today's meal, (sorry vegans) is our thoughts surrounding film du jour: Black kkklansmen. Check it out! See y'all there.

Guys, if it sounds too good to be to true, it often is. This week we're talking about cults. Chances are, you probably know someone who has dipped their toe in some cult like lifestyles. (Both Kai and Alison have!) Interested? See y'all there!
