In this episode, we hear about one woman's right to cut her hair however she pleases, the struggle of not knowing what to do with your pain, and the frustration of being a millenial stereotype. (Seriously screw gender roles, everyone should have precisely the length, shape, and style of hair they want.)
We're gonna be trying out some new things in the weeks to come--if you have suggestions, comments, questions, written rants, manifestos on the beauty of short-haired women, tweet us...

In this ep, we hear about loneliness, spending woes, and the fear of e. coli lurking around every corner. Also, we can't believe it took us this long to pun a title and it's 100% facetious--stay angry, friends.
Published 05/18/18
In this ep, we hear how bossiness ruins the holy combo of beer and bicycling, an account of self-doubt that feels all too familiar, and the mixed emotions that occur when rapists get their due. Fair warning: there's not a lot of levity to be found in this ep, but there is lots of cussing and, hopefully, catharsis.

In this week's ep, we hear from two ends of the dude-dating spectrum--from too many dudes to too few. Plus, handling another person's indecision and the worst break-up date for a dog person. Call us at 669-BAD-TIME with your complaints!
Published 04/20/18
In this episode: a woman with the restraint of a saint, a far-too-relatable story of doubt, and one woman straight-dragging her untalented neighbors and whiney dude bands writ large in the same breath (which is truly the cathartic cap we needed for our week).
Published 04/06/18
In this episode, we hear about the exhaustion of seeing abusers again and again, the frustration of being too young to drink, and yet another ridiculous work practice. Oh, and perhaps the worst bastardization of Back to the Future we've ever heard.
Published 03/16/18
In this episode, we hear about transphobia, respect gaps, and why you should never, ever ask if a woman is pregnant. (Your changes in weight don't need to have a reason behind them to feel justified--you're great and entitled to forever hate a perfectly nice waitress for questioning your body.) Plus a whole lot of cussing!
Published 03/02/18
In this episode, we hear a reaction to just one of the many rage-inducing headlines of late, discuss purposeful car crash logistics, and touch on how underappreciated librarians are. (So underappreciated. Go thank one today. Seriously. That's your home...)
Published 02/16/18
In this episode, we hear about the horrors of bad attitudes, delayed bird-watching, and having your face grabbed without your permission.
