Episode 155 | High Tide… & You’re Raggin’

This week, the Biffs crack open The Washington Post’s Carolyn Hax column and immediately regret having functional nervous systems. We tackle a family who keeps serving seafood despite a life-threatening allergy (because vibes > survival, apparently), a woman wondering if it’s fine to marry a man she’s not excited about as long as he’d make a solid dad, and a soon-to-be father who went bungee jumping and was shocked to discover his very pregnant wife was not amused. Stefani and Ray bring their usual best-friend banter, emotional honesty, and low tolerance for nonsense as they talk boundaries, risk, resentment, and why “it seemed like a good idea at the time” is not a personality trait.
