On the series finale of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen discuss their top 10 moments from 2022. From travel (to weddings #shocker), to awards (Streamys, Signal Awards, and then something called the Oscars?), to starting this podcast (which, of course, is what’s nominated for the Oscar), this episode is full of laughs, tears, and some confusion about unicorn terrariums. Plus, Stevie FINALLY gets an answer to the bag mystery that has plagued BFBA for so many weeks. Farewell friends, and be sure to always tweet at us at #GayGrimsley.

Once upon a time, in a hypothetical world, Neagheen is living at the bottom of the ocean, eating McDonalds salads for every meal and enjoying a lifetime of happiness with…a goat. How did we get here you might ask?  On this episode of BFBA, the duo plays “Would You Rather?”, and things (obviously) get weird. From being royalty 1,000 years ago, to being in a coma for a decade, to clogging toilets at parties, Stevie and Neagheen are here for it all.

On this episode of BFBA, celebrity fitness coach Phil Catudal (AKA Mike Trainer) joins the show to answer listener questions all about health and fitness (and Stevie’s questions about Sarah Shahi). From common fitness and nutrition misconceptions, to learning your body type (#nipplechafing), to if all steroids make your wee-wee smaller, Phil brings us to some wonderful conclusions: running is not necessary and the camera does indeed add 10 lbs. Plus, Neagheen successfully swerves a creep at the gym.

What are parents for if not to blame them for everything wrong with us? Especially if they left us alone at the library for hours when we were kids. We’re not being facetious here. In fact, we’ve brought scientific proof! On this episode of BFBA, Stevie breaks down some surprising things you may have inherited from your parents, and Neagheen gets her elementary school nostalgia on with some Boxcar Children and bowl cuts.

Can Stevie and Neagheen perfect their British, French and German accents in under an hour? Naur. But they are ready to join the next Essex reality show. On this episode of BFBA, Hollywood accent and dialect coach Jack Wallace joins the show to teach Stevie and Neagheen various accents, and breaks down exactly what he does as an accent coach in the industry. Plus, in true BFBA fashion, Stevie and Neagheen perform quite possibly the best remix you’ve ever heard to "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys.

Today, we’re LIVE at MythiCon! Ever accidentally leaked your own nudes? Or rather, didn’t even realize the photo you were posting was a nude? Yikes. On this episode of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen read listeners' submitted most embarrassing stories. And even though we only crowned one winner, aren’t we all winners when Stevie throws you a tampon in a perfect spiral? And Neagheen tosses you a (non-vintage!) pad? We’d say so. Plus, Stevie and Neagheen recap their MythiCon experience back at the studio.

1999 was a big year. The Bill Clinton impeachment trial happened. Palm pilots were all the rage. Neagheen was still stuffing water balloons in her bathing suit top. And little 12-year old Stevie made herself a time capsule to open on this very day, November 4th, 2022! On this episode of BFBA, to commemorate her 35th birthday, Stevie finally discovers what’s inside. We won’t spoil it, but let’s just say 12-year old Stevie would be shocked we still use pens in today’s world. The contents of this time capsule really leave us wondering: how different is 12 year-old Stevie from 35-year old Stevie? Not very, we suspect, based on her current pumpkin carving choices. But hey, at least she tamed her Annie obsession.

It’s almost Halloween! There’s nothing spookier then having the sex talk with children. You know, where sperm meets (room temperature) egg? Well, maybe floating adrift in outer space. Or drowning. Or LAX. On this episode of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen discuss the top things they’re afraid of. From what waiters can do to your food, to tight spaces (don’t worry, Stevie has no problem with this), to the depths of the ocean, Stevie and Neagheen dive deep into their (there? they’re?) psyches.

Ever wonder if that sex scene on TV was real? Or if that was someone’s actual wee-wee or just a prosthetic?  Well, strap on your modesty garments because today, we’re learning all about sex scene choreography! On this episode of BFBA, Intimacy Coordinator for TV & Film and CEO of @idcprofessionals Jessica Steinrock joins the show to break down exactly what she does as an intimacy coordinator.

Well, a lot happened over the break. Stevie’s now in the Illuminati (not really. or is she?), Neagheen may no longer be Stevie’s straightest friend after experiencing her first lesbian yearn, and there’s now TWO mysterious bags on the car in Stevie’s neighborhood. In the premiere episode of Season 3, Stevie and Neagheen discuss mysteries and conspiracies that they wish they knew the truth to! From the Illuminati, to prepubescent field trips to The Lost Colony, to Lea Michele’s reading abilities (conclusion: unclear), to our favorite theory of all: Gaylor Swift, Stevie and Neagheen take this prompt in some wild directions. Plus, Neagheen sees a familiar face at a certain type of institution (it’s a strip club).

Women in Iran are leading an unprecedented movement for human rights. Protests have broken out across the country following the death of 22-year old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the Islamic Republic’s morality police for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women. As a proud Iranian-American, Neagheen comes to BFBA to talk about what’s happening in Iran, why it’s so important, and how to show solidarity with the freedom fighters.

Woman. Life. Freedom. #mahsaamini #iranprotests

***

Two most important things each of us can do to support freedom fighters in Iran: 

1) Keep coverage of their protests alive! Repost and reshare stories using the hashtags #MahsaAmini and #IranProtests. 

2) Help Iranians bypass internet censorship by downloading the Snowflake extension. Read more here: https://snowflake.torproject.org/
