Ever notice how making new friends as a grown woman feels exactly like dating — minus the romance? From the awkward first coffee “dates” and overthinking texts to the slow fades and quiet ghosting, adult friendship is full of the same vulnerability, hope, and second-guessing we know all too well.

In this episode, Robin and Deborah break down why finding your people feels harder now, how it mirrors dating at every stage (mindset, exposure, follow-ups, red flags), and the practical, classy ways to put yourself out there without losing your mind.

Whether you’re quietly craving deeper connections or recovering from a friendship fizzler, this one’s for you — because you’re not bad at this, you’re just dating for friends. And it’s awkward, brave, and totally worth it.

Get ready for the most unhinged game of Would You Rather we’ve ever played. Robin and Deborah dive into high-stakes, scream-laugh dilemmas that range from gross body betrayals (sneezing glitter vs. crying ranch dressing) to social exposure nightmares (friends hearing your annoyed inner monologue) to soul-crushing life trade-offs (eternal youth vs. perfect health, career success vs. deep friendships).

We debate every impossible choice, overshare our own fears, and judge which option is the classier survival move. This one’s equal parts hilarious chaos and accidental therapy — perfect for anyone who’s ever lain awake wondering what they’d actually pick.

Warning: You’ll be texting your group chat your answers by the end.

Workplace drama is the gift that keeps on giving — especially when it involves fake firings, stolen lunches, and managers who ghost their own shifts. In this Am I the Asshole? episode, Robin and Deborah tackle four wild Reddit stories that test boundaries, petty revenge, and the fine line between self-protection and selfishness.

From a teen barista’s hilarious customer takedown to a boss offering a tough choice after a no-show fiasco, we’ll unpack the psychology, debate the judgments, and share why these tales hit so close to home.

Episodes like this remind us: Classy doesn’t mean perfect — it means owning your moves, even the messy ones.
