It's been a long month for us, but here we are! We're getting back on track and we're possibly rebranding a little bit? Laura may have some VERY unrealistic ideas of episode lengths?

Laura talks about how being medicated has helped her life and encourages everyone who's thought about it to give it a try. Stephanie watched The Substance and tells us about it. And Tyler recaps what he hinted at last episode, which was a disaster of a home run derby he went and saw.

LOTS of talk about how to make this our full-time jobs, and Tyler has a way to do it fast.

Share time starts with Laura asking Tyler and Stephanie (but mostly Stephanie) for horror movies to watch with her boyfriend for this month, Stephanie updates us on Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's divorce and we OF COURSE make fun of Jax again, and Tyler has absolutely nothing to talk about because what he wanted to talk about wasn't hap...

We're all extremely tired for various reasons and we're also not going to watch The Golden Bachelorette.

Share time starts with Laura's new favorite show, The Sopranos, and why it's so great. Tyler decides he'd rather be on Survivor than Big Brother. And Stephanie talks Dancing With The Stars. Well, mostly Joey, but still.

Then we recap the last week and a half or so of Big Brother and give our thoughts on it. None of us really pai...

Sorry for taking another week off, but people weren't feeling good and frankly, nothing really happened on The Bachelorette and Big Brother last week, but we still touched on a few things just to give y'all the important info.

But as always, we start with Share Time! Laura talks about a couple of movies she's watched, one good and one not good. Tyler actually has a story about how saving a snake became more of a problem than it sho...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
