Episode 147 | RIP Your Culo

Lies, loathing, and a whole lot of family baggage—it’s a triple feature in this week’s episode when the Biffs read from the Independent's Dear Vix column. First, a compulsive storyteller whose “white lies” have evolved into full-blown epic sagas. Next, a mom who swears she’d take a bullet for her daughter… but would rather not take her to brunch. And to round it out, someone finally blurts the unspeakable: they just don’t like their parents (yes, even after the holidays).

Stefani and Ray roll up their sleeves and dive headfirst into the dysfunction, serving up therapy-adjacent hot takes like “maybe stop lying so much,” “boundaries are cheaper than bullets,” and “you don’t have to like family just because DNA says so.” It’s messy, it’s brutally honest, and it’s exactly the kind of chaos that makes you feel a little better about your own group chat.
