They ran into Rachel Lindsay which prompts Jared to share his Britney Spears connection to the former Bachelorette star. Janet tells Jared how it felt to chat with her about The Valley. Janet talks about having her IG on lockdown and her simple process of restricting and removing negative followers, and their bizarre reaction to not being able to follow their queen they love to hate. The duo breakdown their issues with the And Just Like That finale, and ponder why there was so much pee and poo whilst saying goodbye to the once beloved characters. Jared shares his theater obsession and the caveat that accompanies any stage show he attends.

August 13, 2025 18 - Happily UnHinged
Jared and Janet have a kiki over Jared's triumphant return to the world of online dating.

Staying on topic, the duo ponder the disappointing dating app statistics, swiping fatigue and the Paradox of Choice (perhaps there can be too many fish in the sea?). Jared gives Janet and listeners insight into his southern evangelical Christian upbringing and how a lot of college and a little coastal elitism changed the trajectory of him and his family's lives. The besties also discuss Abby Lee Miller, star of Dance Moms (and former prisoner), who is once again making the viral rounds for her infamous trip to Baskin Robbins.
