Wild 'Til 9
Wild ’Til 9 blends raw, unfiltered relationship talk with laugh-out-loud storytelling. Equal parts marital diary and comedic advice column, hosted by Lauren Riihimaki (aka LaurDIY) and Jeremy Lewis. This show thrives on its opposites-attract dynamic—Lauren’s bubbly, high-energy personality meets Jeremy’s dry wit and sarcastic humor, creating a perfect storm of playful banter. No topic is off-limits as they dive into spicy themes**, relationships, and daily life chaos** with a mix of personal anecdotes and candid insights. Whether they’re unpacking personal drama, debating relationship dilemmas, or roasting each other in real time, Lauren and Jeremy keep it authentic, unscripted, and totally unpredictable (even if their wild nights out have turned into wild nights in).
