This week on Double Shot of Anna, the Annas take on the summer slump with a very special birthday countdown and a brutally honest mid-year check-in. Anna D reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of birthday season, modern dating expectations, and the art of “dilly-dallying” with a Diet Coke in hand. Meanwhile, Anna M shares updates on big creative wins, including finishing her book and launching a pet networking app.

Together, they unpack the subtle difference between “princess treatment” and bare minimum behavior, share sangria recipes, rant about fast food loyalty apps (Code Moo, anyone?), and expose which male friends dropped their podcast donations. Plus, there’s astrology, Target walks, summer freebies, and heartfelt thoughts on burnout and letting go of over-functioning.

This episode is everything July should be—chaotic, reflective, slightly sunburned, and definitely unsponsored.

This week on Double Shot of Anna, Anna M and Anna D dive into a raw and candid conversation about navigating life in uncertain times. From global tensions and humanitarian heartbreaks to lighthearted tales of awkward weddings, mistaken houseguests, and Olive Garden brunches, the Annas cover it all.

Anna D shares the ongoing trials of modern dating and her accidental stalker sightings. The two also introduce their new “10 Minutes of Activism” initiative and announce a travel-themed contest with a sweet prize. Plus, they celebrate a major podcast milestone and swap thoughts on physical therapy, pet politics, and Trump-shaped dog toys. It's therapy, it's chaos, it’s the Annas.

This week’s episode is what happens when a movie moment derails into mistaken identity, mild panic, and an unexpected flirtation in the hardware aisle. The Annas kick things off with a wild “meet-cute” that’s less Notting Hill and more Oops, You're Not My Ex. From there, they dive into what makes a partner truly thoughtful—spoiler alert: it’s not flowers, it’s remembering how you organize your pantry.

Then, it’s time to get real about AI in dating. Could bots be the answer to ghosting fatigue and awkward first messages? Or are we just outsourcing our emotional labor? And if you’ve ever confused a double-tap for a real connection, you're not alone—we're unpacking the fine line between attention and actual intimacy.

Plus, an international take on America's chaos, the anxiety of being paid in USD, and the quiet beauty of someone who just gets you.

Listen in for laughter, perspective, and maybe even a little hope. Because even bad dates can lead to good stories.

Start your stopwatch, because this week's chaotic cocktail comes with travel trauma, true crime hot takes, and an unexpected PSA on emotional intelligence. The Annas kick off mid-rage with a TSA meltdown that escalates faster than a security line on a Friday night. Then it’s straight into the trial of Karen Read, where taillight conspiracy theories, sketchy Google searches, and a mysteriously missing German shepherd have us questioning everything.

But it’s not all courtroom drama. In between rants about dating men who mistake loneliness for “main character energy,” the hosts serve up something rare: actual optimism. Enter: “10 Minutes of Activism,” Anna's new initiative encouraging you to stop scrolling and do something. Think: journaling, picking up trash, walking instead of driving, or, wild idea, calling your mom.

If you’ve ever canceled plans for a man who owns more gym shorts than books, or felt guilty for double texting someone who claims to “hate their phone,” this episode is for you. It’s funny, cathartic, and sneakily inspiring. Plus, it ends with a pitch-perfect Mother's Day moment.

Download it, forward it to your friend who needs a breakup pep talk, and take 10 minutes today to actually live.

Part Two is the chaotic neutral energy we all need. Picking up mid-rant, Anna and Anna go from IRS-induced rage to AI-generated hot takes about men, and it’s honestly therapeutic. From men who ghost and then watch your Insta stories, to the universal mystery of why they all suddenly become bourbon experts, the Annas leave no stereotype un-skewered. And yes, they declare ChatGPT a better man than any living one, so do with that what you will.

Then, the tables turn. It’s time for women’s hot takes, and let’s just say: glowing skin, chaotic rosters, car-crying therapy sessions, and FBI-level stalking skills are fully on the table. If you've ever said, “I'm low maintenance” while holding a $75 serum, you will feel deeply seen. Also, if you've ever used DoorDash as an intel tool...same.

From roasting Frontier Airlines for charging you to speak to a human, to Caroline Leavitt’s suspiciously orange press appearances, to LinkedIn dads posting pics like they’ve just met their kids for the first time, no absurdity goes unchecked. There's even a heartwarming moment where Anna plugs her new initiative, 10 Minutes of Activism, encouraging listeners to make a real difference, one small action at a time.

It’s emotional, unfiltered, and wildly funny. This is the episode you send to your best friend with the text “this is SO us.”

It may be April, but it's still cold, and the Annas have thoughts, per usual. In Part One of this spicy two-part episode, your favorite duo kicks things off with a mini weather rant and a full breakdown of Chick-fil-A’s latest nostalgia-dripping drink: the “dreamy” Dr. Pepper Spin. But the vibes quickly escalate as they spiral into a hilarious takedown of Katy Perry’s 11-minute space trip (was it empowering or just expensive cosplay?) and give unfiltered commentary on the horrifying and under-reported deportation of Kilmar Garcia.

From there, it’s all tax talk and tariff tea. The Annas get fired up about how tax season is squeezing the middle class (and how literally nothing seems deductible unless you’re a billionaire), rant about IRS cutbacks, and dream up their own wishlist of write-offs, from pets to dating apps to tampons and gym memberships. There’s also a little bit of gospel: Jesus was a Middle Eastern brown man, and yes, he’d probably be deported under current policy.

It’s funny, it’s fierce, and it’s got that “only Anna and Anna could say that” energy. Grab your coffee, your emotional support snacks, and get ready to yell "YES" at your phone every five minutes.

In Part 2, the Annas go from ghosting stats to group chat therapy. They break down how many dating profiles people swipe through in a year, the average length of a first date, and the top lies on dating apps. Height, job, and age make the list, but one of them might surprise you.

They get real about the difference between ghosting and sending a breakup text, whether stalking your ex online is normal, and why unfollowing as a group is the ultimate form of solidarity. One Anna shares personal reflections on divorce, social media boundaries, and why you should never build your life around someone who might vanish mid-scroll.

Then, just when you think it’s winding down, the Annas spiral into full-on summer festival mode. Ticket prices are outrageous, VIP is ridiculous, and the only thing more chaotic than the lineups is trying to figure out who is still cool to see live.

They wrap it all up with dreams of sundresses, Norway weather updates, and a call to action to check out their brand new cover art on Instagram. And yes, one of them reads a live text message on air that throws a little shade at said cover art. It's a perfect ending.

In Part 1 of this week’s unfiltered catch-up, Anna and Anna open with a deeply relatable story about a bad Chinese food situation and the sacredness of your own bathroom. After a chaotic detour to Five Below, they unbox Peep-themed face masks that spark an investigation into the history of Peeps, their questionable designs, and whether they’ve become the weirdest part of Easter.

From there, the conversation turns to hygiene habits and public restroom etiquette. How many Americans really brush their teeth twice a day? Why does flossing feel like an Olympic sport? And can dentists be trusted, or is it all a scam? Anna M even shares a story about being sued by a dentist at age eight.

Stick around for Part 2 where things get wild with dating app stats, why Chicago is the worst place to get ghosted, and a very passionate deep dive into concert season, Wyatt Flores, and which Midwest festivals are actually worth your money. You’ll never look at a concert ticket or a saxophone-playing Sasquatch the same way again.
