S5 Ep458: Relationship “Breadcrumbing" + Spooky Rituals & Games, Part 2!

Need a lighthearted episode to get you through your holiday stress? This is the episode for you!

Hey, Young Ones! Do you feel like the grown-ups around you just don't understand your language? Don't worry. Your internet aunt and uncle are going through the Youth of Today Lexicon and teaching each other the most important phrases that Gen Z is using. Then, Bebe and Dennis each come up with their own slang phrases that English is sorely lacking. Plus, a new game you can play over the holidays or with your coworkers as a team building exercise!

Instead of our regular loosey-goosey bonus, we're sharing a brand new episode of Kathleen's new podcast "Kathleen Can Do It" with her DIY partner in crime, Kathleen Martin. (Yes, they are both named Kathleen.) The Kathleens are breaking down how to give your bathroom a refresh without any major renovations. It is possible to feel like you have a new room without lifting a single hammer or paintbrush, we promise!

This week, Dennis and Beebs discuss huge lessons they both learned about themselves over Thanksgiving, they read two incredible emails from you, and Bebe's eye are blasted wide open when Dennis explains how he wakes up in the morning. (Does your brain work like Dennis' or are you just as floored as Bethany was?)

Plus, Dennis and Listener Tonia have a theory as to why Bethany's AI portraits turned out SO. SO. AWFUL.

We’ve all been ghosted in relationships, but have you ever been breadcrumbed? (Or, if you’re like Kathleen and Bethany, are you breadcrumbing by accident?) Kathleen gives the definition of the term and why we should be on the lookout for it in our relationships! Then, Bethany is going through some more spooky rituals and games that may or may not result in a woman inside a mirror pressing her hands against the glass and staring you down. DON’T BREAK EYE CONTACT OR YOU’LL HAVE TO MOVE. Plus, Kathleen is not interested in Bethany’s weird gift suggestions.
