Episode 158 | Leave. Him.
Is he private… or are you a secret? This week, the Biffs crack open Ask Natalie and dive into three modern relationship nightmares: a boyfriend who won’t acknowledge your existence, Venmo emoji payments to a suspicious “gym friend,” and a best friend who hates you like it’s her full-time job. Stefani and Ray unpack the power plays, the plausible deniability, and the quiet moments where your nervous system is already screaming the truth. [Doña Paula Sauvignon Blanc, 2022]
Episode 157 | Mathing With Meth
This week, the Biffs dive into Coleen Nolan’s Mirror column and immediately ask: should we be allowed to know this much about strangers? We’ve got forbidden fantasies about a fiancé’s sister (ma’am??), a working parent doing pre-shift cocaine while the kids remain blissfully unaware, and a grief dilemma where “respecting wishes” collides with “I still need closure.” It’s horny, dark, sad, and somehow funny — and Stefani and Ray do what they do best: spiral, empathize, roast (gently), and offer extremely unlicensed advice along the way. [Lagaria Pinot Grigio, 2022]
Episode 154 | LOL . Brenda?
This week, the Biffs dive into Lizzy Acker’s Why Tho? column, where the drama is feral, the boundaries are theoretical, and everyone’s courage seems to come from a mysterious off-brand energy drink. We’re talking: a wife who unilaterally opens her marriage and detonates an entire friend group, a boyfriend who wants to “gently” tell his girlfriend her facial hair is ruining his life (spoiler: there is no gentle version), and a 20-year friendship that ends with a breakup email so cold it should come with frostbite warnings. Stefani and Ray unpack the chaos with their trademark banter, hot takes, and unsolicited-but-deeply-felt advice for the romantically bewildered. [Squealing Pig Sauvignon Blanc, 2023]
