      Other People's Secrets with Kimi Culp, Female Friendships, and Senator Feinstein

      Gabe has no rhythm and wonders how do couples know when a song is "your song?" A listener writes in worried because she doesn't have female friends and isn't sure if that's a red flag. All The Wiser podcast host Kimi Culp joins the chat to talk about learning from the darkest moments of her and her guests' lives. And why it's important to have these conversations (responsibly). During Hypotheticals, Allison has some questions about how to handle a nervous flower girl. And, finally, why won't Diane Feinstein step down when her absence from Congress is making it impossible for the Dems to make judicial appointments?

      Too Long Did Read (It): #BoyMoms Wanna Date Their Sons

      Gabe shares how it's easy to get into anywhere while wearing a high visibility vest with posts from r/ActLikeYouBelong. Melisa is an expert at attending events she isn't supposed to be at. r/thanksImcured collects responses to people's mental illnesses and trauma that are insulting, condescending, and...obvious. A horrible hook up leaves a handwritten note with "constructive feedback." The trio all have different opinions on this tactic. Allison was called out for a "Not Like The Other Girls" post. Is it possible to be an anti-fan of someone? And finally, can Melisa stump Reddit with clowns? This has been a Forever Dog production Produced by Melisa D.

      TLDRI: I Don't Love It When It's Stinky Stinky

      tw: fatphobia and anti-fat bias Our trio's deep dive begins with a subreddit for long hair that provides loving support if you want your hair to touch the ground. Allison then reads a r/menwritingwomen post that is so cringey we'd understand if you can't listen or want to rip your ears off. Next, r/HelpMeFind brings us a fun cat toy that Gabe has actually contemplated buying and sparks a conversation about lost things. Finally, wholesome updates on a growing asparagus, Allison is the new cartoonist for Dilbert, Melisa finds a relevant subreddit faster than Gabe or Allison ever could, and stories about bad summer camp haircuts. Also, fatphobia in action. Oy. This has been a Forever Dog production Produced by Melisa D. Monts Post-Production by Coco Llorens Executive produced by Brett Boham, Joe Cilio, and Alex Ramsey.

      The Housing Crisis with Andreina Kniss, Trans Imposter Syndrome, and the WGA Writers Strike

      Allison fights through her discomfort to promote her Substack (please subscribe!). The duo (but mostly Gabe) then try to help a listener who is battling transgender imposter syndrome and isn't sure if they are "trans enough" for top surgery. K-Town for All's Andreina Kniss joins the chat to talk about misconceptions around unhoused populations, the housing crisis and the subtle tactics landlords use to continue discrimination. It's an incredibly important topic and we are so thankful to get to discuss it with such a knowledgeable advocate. And finally, the WGA writers' strike and why every job deserves equal pay.
