The Kettle's On

In this special edition of The Guest Blend, my guests take the reins and bring me a fresh batch of unhinged Reddit stories and they did not disappoint. 

This week we’re chatting about everything from a steak yeeted at a window to a bridesmaid dilemma that gets messier by the minute. There’s birthday party politics, a somewhat questionable fake birth situation, and a boyfriend who decided a casserole dish was the perfect place to soak his feet. Yeah.

So put the kettle on and cosy up with us for the tea.
