What started off as an episode that *could* have been just an hour, turned into a full analysis of Jeri's inner psyche. But before we get into that, the girls ramble about canal boats, the tyranny of the Kent parking police, wedding guest attire, and apparently there are aliens heading for Earth?

The meat this week is green flags in friendships! We asked, you answered, and we are about to talk your ear off about it. This episode is long as hell, but we hope you enjoy our real-time dissection of Jeri's inner monologue and how she views herself as a friend (about a 45 minute tangent). Enjoy!

Hotline caller #4 brings us a topic that's complicated and weird for most of us out here - adult friendships. But before we get into that, Rach and Jeri talk car washes, the man-imagination that built crypto currency, egg donation, and Jeri's massive liver.

"Katie" is a new mom whose friends forgot to wish her a happy birthday. After our hearts break in two over this voicemail, we get into the mess that is friendship in adulthood. Setting boundaries, expectations, and making plans is the new normal and we hate to see it, but we all know the girlhood is worth it!

PLEASE keep the calls and emails coming! We absolutely love the conversations that you guys spark through this series.

Welcome to our first virtually recorded episode! Before we get into our third hotline caller, Rach and Jeri talk winters loads, nosy neighbors, and we hate to say it - but this podcast is CURSED. The SD card is still missing despite undergoing hypnosis and summoning an Etsy witch.

Hotline caller #3 hits us with a question we'd all like to solve... how do we battle "mom guilt"? Rach and Jeri go on a deep dive into living with anxiety, getting medicated, and how the roles we play as children can follow us into parenthood.

PLEASE keep the calls and emails coming! We absolutely love the conversations that you guys spark through this series.

It's Valentines Day, so the more dates the better! To celebrate FB&W getting picked up by Parapods Network (insert airhorn sounds here), Rach gets to hop on with Nichole Bigley from A Psychic Story for a round of speed dating! Rach and Nichole talk VHS tapes, cartoon crushes, reincarnation, and so much more. Then it is time for date night with the other halves to our hosts, Josh and Brady!

(16:47) Rach and Josh talk parenthood, making time for each other, the power of laughter, and Josh answers everyone's burning question - does he still sleep furthest from the door?

(1:00) And last but certainly not least, the soon-to-be Parsons hop on the mic and now everyone gets to finally hear what Brady's voice sounds like! He gets to give his perspective on the start of their relationship and his first impressions of Jeri throughout the years. The fiancees talk farts, communication, and dating with kids.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Hallmark holiday! And if you didn't get to hear it this year - you are appreciated and so loved.

Celebrity divorce announcements, we hate to see em' but we love to judge em'. The episode starts out with a few technical difficulties, laundry talk, and our take on the Stranger Things finale. Rach and Jeri are all for a good plot hole and creating a little *mystique* . This episode Jeri preps some celebrity divorce announcements and Rach tries to guess the couple they belong to. Was she good at it? No! Was it fun anyways? Yes!

It's our first HOTLINE CALLER episode, everyone! And we are so so excited to get into the nitty gritty sister-tea with our listener, Rachel. Before we listen to her voicemail we go over some very important topics: The Grinch, butt germs, and go-to wiping positions. 

Rachel from Kentucky calls us for some sisterly advice and we do our best to answer as only sisters of sisters can. Sisterhood is sick, twisted, and also the best gift we've ever been given. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved psychoanalyzing Rachel and her family. Would you like the same treatment? Call into our hotline @ 330-333-2535!

This episode is a real "shaking out the cobwebs" experience for Rach, but we hope you enjoy our real-time excitement as we finally sit down to record and overshare in a way only FB&W does. We love ya, see you next Friday!
