Summary

Why are our most ambivalent relationships often the ones that cause us the most agitation? Jordana and Dr. Naomi analyze a recent article on the topic of frenemies and why they take up so much more headspace than our real adversaries. Then a listener (and fellow therapist) writes in to ask whether or not she should feel bad for making an offhand remark about her supervisor. Why do we spend so much time focusing on the smallest of comments? The Betchicist question comes from an emailer who feels like a bad feminist for wanting to get botox and other injectables to fight the signs of aging. This week’s intention setting exercise is all about finding a way to bounce back after getting a series of disappointing replies to your destination-wedding invites. Finally, they score some Triggered submissions involving a forgotten name and a surprise marriage announcement.

Oh, I think it went well. Do I sound normal to you?

0:30.0

I think you do. Yeah, it actually is way better than I thought it was going to be.

0:35.5

I had kind of like not a botched surgery the first time, but I had to have the same procedure done twice,

0:40.8

which was really, I mean, on top of having to have that, just the idea that I had to go through

0:46.7

it twice was really irritating. Yeah. But it made me take really good care of it this time.

0:52.9

Like, I think last time I was like, oh, no big deal. I'm just going to start eating whatever I

0:57.1

feel like. So I did basically a Panera broccoli and cheddar soup and ice cream diet.

Oh wow. Those are my two things that I ate for like four days straight.

And first when they said I was on a liquid diet, I was like, oh, you know, do a liquid diet.

1:18.3

I have had that soup. It is delicious. And I'm not just saying that because Panera is a proud

1:22.8

sponsor of budget media, but they are, they're great. That soup is like kind of like just like

1:28.0

melted cheese and like, it was some pieces of broccoli floating in there. Exactly. Yeah, it is.
