Summary
We’re tugging on your heartstrings this week as Wells introduces us to Maya, the very cute foster pup who may have found a permanent home in the Adams family… just maybe not at Wells’ house. More on that. Brandi joins with freshly washed hair — a rare and celebrated occasion — and opens up about fine-hair problems, greasy recording days, and the humbling return of Pilates. The engagement glow continues too, with a very valid question on the table: why don’t men get engagement rings? Hit us up in the DMs and VMs with your hot takes.
Wells recaps a chaotic week that included a trip to Phoenix to watch Ole Miss lose (Hotty Toddy forever), and then it’s all about Traitors, baby — because this season is FIRE. Your hosts do a full cast vibe check, from loving Jonny Weir and Lisa Rinna to embracing Michael Rapaport’s chaos and pitching a Yam Yam / Rapaport spinoff we’d absolutely watch. Fave things round out the episode with rom-com love, vacation movies that hit just right, standout reads like Ready Player One, and TV recs including The Night Manager and 11.22.63. It’s good to be back!
