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]
