  • Too Drunk to Gossip: The Lost Episode! - #043
    Things got a little too wild this weekend, and we’re not just talking about the gossip! 🍸 In this unforgettable episode of Drinks with a Side of Gossip: The Weekend Edition, GeorgeOdem and Miss Leigh Lovely had one too many beers (okay, several too many), and the result was a hilarious, chaotic, and completely off-the-rails recording session.

    We spilled the tea (and maybe a few drinks), shared stories that might’ve been better left untold, and laughed until we cried. By the end, we had over two hours of content that was too wild, unfiltered, and downright ridiculous to make it into the final cut. But don’t worry—those juicy, uncut moments aren’t lost forever.

    They inspired us to launch our brand-new Patreon!

    Subscribers will get exclusive access to the unedited chaos and behind-the-scenes madness that will never make it to the regular feed. Tune in for a taste of the madness and find out what made this the most infamous episode in Drinks with a Side of Gossip history.

    And if you want to hear it all, you know where to find us. Cheers!

  • Christmas Chaos: Elon’s Billions, Megachurch Madness, and Holiday Hijinks - #040
    Get ready for the ultimate holiday showdown in this Christmas Special of Drinks with a Side of Gossip! GeorgeOdem and Miss Leigh Lovely tackle the season’s hottest topics with their signature wit and sass.

    To start, the hosts try H-E-B's viral tamales. We've all seen the videos and heard the claims that they're as good OR BETTER than homemade. We bought two different flavors and will tell you what we think!

    Elon Musk’s jaw-dropping $400 billion net worth has everyone asking: does any one person really need that much wealth? Meanwhile, we’re taking megachurch Christmas shows to task—are these over-the-top productions really where tithes are going? And why on earth should congregants have to pay to watch a show their donations already funded?

    The holiday chaos doesn’t stop there! We debate the most obnoxious people in store lines: the check-writers and change-counters or the impatient complainers behind them? Plus, the drama surrounding CEO slayer Luigi Mangione’s federal charges heats up—are we crazy for loving the guy?

    The hosts also share their hilariously underwhelming Christmas plans, proving that even the pros have a humble holiday now and then. Stay tuned for Christmas-themed games like trivia, This or That, and Finish the Christmas Carol!

    Then, emotions run high as MOMpower says goodbye to Drinks With A Side Of Gossip—only to announce its exciting future as a stand-alone podcast launching January 7th on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

    Packed with gossip, laughs, and holiday cheer, this is the Christmas episode you don’t want to miss!

  • Farewells, Fast Food, and Family Feels - #036
    This week on Drinks With A Side of Gossip, GeorgeOdem and Miss Leigh Lovely serve up a jam-packed episode filled with emotions, hot topics, and juicy listener confessions!

    The show begins on a bittersweet note as the hosts say goodbye to a cherished member of the team.

    From there, they dive into the controversy surrounding the recent death of a health insurance CEO and the public's polarizing reactions—are we too quick to judge? Next, things heat up with a playful chat about favorite fast food spots, big back food orders, and the age-old question: are you an instigator or a peacemaker in workplace drama?

    Speaking of drama, George and Leigh take on the growing epidemic of out-of-control "Karens" and offer advice on how to handle these public meltdowns. They also debate whether politics should be on the menu at your holiday dinner table.

    In MOMpower, Leigh tackles heartfelt letters from moms at their wit’s end—one struggling to keep her family together, and another reeling from a shocking discovery in her daughter’s laundry.

    Meanwhile, in Listener Emails, George and Leigh advise a manager losing control of his team because he’s too focused on being liked, and a woman blindsided by her boyfriend’s sudden request for a break after five years together.

    And before the mics go off, the hosts send huge Happy Birthday shoutouts to Leigh’s brother Joseph and George’s cousin Marcy!
