The girlies return to Reddit’s darkest corners for another round of harrowing tales—a therapist casually feasting on a seafood boil mid-session, a husband cursed with chronic baby talk, and a haunting handmade puppet of someone’s boyfriend. Tough questions are tackled: Is pocket cheese ever acceptable? Can Utah’s altitude turn you gay? And what exactly is he doing with the salad dressing? Digressions include updates on The Baldwin Show, Charles Manson being a rizzler and our ongoing mission to get Vivian Jenna Wilson on the pod. This is a teaser for a Patreon-exclusive episode.
