Emma's triumphant return and Travis's kidney stones.

THE BESTIES ARE BACK TOGETHER!! 🎉🎙️ Emma’s back for her first episode after her maternity break with baby Auggie, and the chaos picked up right where we left off.

This week, Emma shares a little bit about how round two of having newborn is going for her. 👍🏽 good news: Auggie is sleeping through the night. 🥱 bad news: Emma is choosing to do her dishes instead of napping.

Travis unpacks living through his worst fears when he found out how kidney stone surgery works, so he gave himself the gift of a 3D printer! He has been hyperfocusing on looking for literally anything he can print, and he’s also looking for love with a 3D Print YouTuber! 😍

we also dive into:

• a quick shoutout to our new podcast friends on First Time in Drag! 🎧🫶🏽
• the uncomfortable TikTok of the McDonald’s CEO trying a new “product” on the menu.
• Travis is confused about a mom salting her kids.
• Casey Rose Wilson from Bitch Sesh convinced Travis that he needs an Alaskan king bed.
• Ashley Tisdale decided to step away from her famous mom group and told the entire world about it.
• our grievances with Stevia and social media apps.
• Lisa Barlow being the reason that 2026 kicked off on a positive note.
