    • S4 Ep. 14 - Uncle Dale Reporting for Duty to Parent Rachel's Teenager
      Feb 10 2026

      Rachel and Dale are basically walking proof that a long friendship can stay truly platonic, but we still have to ask the obvious question. Is that rare for a reason, or are people just messy with boundaries.

      We start with real life stuff like parenting a teenager and trying to keep your cool without losing your mind, then we get into the kind of family dynamics that can quietly ruin a relationship. The Beckham wedding drama turns into a bigger convo about in laws, control, and what happens when someone steals the spotlight in a moment that is not theirs.

      From there it turns into our favorite kind of chaos. Nostalgia about bar and bat mitzvah dances that forced kids to actually interact, the way phones changed socializing, and the random pop culture spiral that somehow ends with Florida headlines, rich people problems, and a woman suing a country club over a defective bagel.

      It is funny, a little unhinged, and weirdly honest in the way real friendships actually sound.

    • S4 Ep. 13 - What Is the Right Thermostat Temperature for a Relationship?
      Feb 3 2026

      Rachel and Dale start with a very serious debate about air conditioning etiquette and what counts as “acceptable” when it comes to temperature, then spiral into snow angels, South Florida winters, and whether TikTok is ruining everyone’s attention span. Rachel’s daughter joins the chaos with peak teen honesty, including what’s officially cringy, what’s not, and why adults love acting like their era was superior. Along the way they get into astrology arguments, aliens among us, the weird politeness of sending dates home with goodie bags, and a surprisingly intense take on death row last meals. Plus, one extremely necessary rule about bathroom conversations that should not need explaining.

    • S4 Ep. 12 - Reborn Dolls, Rude Servers, and the Weirdest Holiday Conversations
      Jan 13 2026

      Rachel and Dale kick off the holiday stretch the way they do best, by spiraling through the strange headlines and the everyday moments that somehow say a lot about people. They start with the story of a woman who faked an entire pregnancy with a reborn doll, then bounce through a service that roasts your boss for you, a revenge spray paint moment that is honestly unforgettable, and why people feel extra raw around the holidays. The conversation turns to how brazen shoplifting has gotten and how retail return schemes actually work, plus the sticker shock of Disney tickets versus flying to Tokyo. Dale also shares a restaurant story that grossed him out and left him stuck on one question, what else was in the food. They wrap with a Reddit rabbit hole recommendation, a little pay it forward energy, and the kind of end of year delirium that only hits when you have truly been through it.
