Weddings and funerals—two major life events, both filled with tradition, expectations, and a little bit of chaos. In A Room of Bodies Waiting, the ladies dive into the cultural nuances of these milestones, from the highs of wedding planning 💍 to the unexpected (and sometimes hilarious) dynamics of funerals ⚰️. They break down guest list drama, evolving traditions, and how different communities celebrate love and honor loss. Plus, they touch on budgeting, societal norms, and why special friends always seem to make an appearance at funerals.

With humor, honesty, and a little side-eye 👀, this episode explores the beauty and complexities of these life moments—because if we’re doing weddings and funerals, we’re doing them our way.

This episode is giving everything—hot takes, unfiltered opinions, and the kind of chaos you can't look away from. We’re diving into everything from Diddy’s legal mess to the wild west of online dating, the not-so-secret gray market of healthcare, and why weddings might just be group therapy in disguise. We also get real about weight loss meds, Christian nationalism creeping into politics, and how the economy is out here gaslighting us all. Oh, and did we mention we’ve got a new podcast coming? Yeah, @MeLater is on the way.

And seriously, how many times do you think LV crashes out in this episode? Hint: it’s a lot. DO NOT play a drinking game with this—unless you have tomorrow off.

We Need NATO, Help Please– because honestly, at this point, we’re begging. This week, we’re diving headfirst into the latest political dumpster fire, from Trump’s ongoing chaos to the absolute mess that is our leadership in times of crisis.

We’re breaking down the confusion around government decisions, the fallout from a recent plane crash, and why decorum in leadership is apparently too much to ask for.

We’re also getting into the never-ending DEI panic, the racial politics of diversity initiatives, and the straight-up nonsense surrounding how disability is handled in this country. Oh, and let’s not forget international relations—because if things keep going this way, we might actually need NATO to step in.

Plus, we’re unpacking the role of Black women in leadership (because we all know who actually keeps things running), the mental health toll of existing in this political climate, and why community activism is more important than ever. On the lighter side (kind of?), we’re talking social media algorithms, homemade butter (because doomsday prepping might be a thing now), and whether or not retail brands will ever actually get cultural representation right. So, if you’re looking for a mix of outrage, insight, and maybe a little bit of unhinged laughter to cope, we’ve got you covered. Buckle up, because this episode is a ride. 🎙🔥

Trump’s first week back was a flaming hot mess, and the ladies are breaking it all down in He's Their God King. 🫠 From the political circus of his inauguration (featuring Elon Musk’s full-on whoopsie moment 🤮) to the usual DEI fear-mongering and law enforcement excuses, it’s giving dystopian nightmare. We’re talking conspiracy theories, the hypocrisy of so-called ‘free speech warriors,’ and the absolute state of social media under Musk’s ego trip. Oh, and the fashion? Tragic. Strap in because this one’s a wild ride. 🎙🔥 Watch or listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

This week, we’re spilling all the tea on the TikTok ban drama—yes, it happened, and no, we’re still not over it. From the chaos and emotional meltdowns to the political mess tied to Trump, we’re breaking it all down. We’re also looking ahead: what’s next for social media, and could there actually be a decent alternative to TikTok? (Spoiler: probably not.)

Of course, we couldn’t skip the celebrity gossip! We’re digging into the latest controversies involving Snoop Dogg and Nelly and reflecting on the highs (and cringe-worthy lows) of the Versus series. Nostalgia, disappointment, and a whole lot of side-eye—it’s all here.

And because we love to keep it real, we’re unpacking some bigger topics too: the power of women in politics, how social media shapes public perception, and the emotional rollercoaster that is navigating a polarized political world. We’re even tackling how the TikTok algorithm messes with our feelings—and don’t worry, we’ve got jokes to keep it light.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the hot takes, or just need a break from the chaos, we’ve got you covered. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride!

We’re covering all the things this episode: from what’s going on in our lives (spoiler: sleep is a scam) to the latest political circus, like aging politicians, voting drama, and who’s running the show in Congress. We’re not holding back on our frustrations with the current state of affairs, but don’t worry—there’s plenty of laughter and side-eye along the way.

We also dive into some real talk about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, sharing our personal experiences and calling out the stigma surrounding weight loss meds. From navigating body positivity to dealing with the “mean girl” energy in weight loss spaces, we’re keeping it honest about health, wellness, and the pressure of being seen online.

Speaking of societal pressures, we’re unpacking some heavy stuff this week: the chaos of social media, what we’ve normalized as a culture, and how influencers are changing the game—for better or worse. We’re also looking ahead, chatting about gentle parenting, branding tips, and how we plan to keep our podcast fresh and fun.

It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s us. Come for the tea, stay for the laughs.
