    Send us Fan Mail It’s a BIG week on We Need 2 Talk! 🏈🐦🍎 Auburn pulls off a HUGE upset against Georgia in Athens, and one of us is still celebrating! We’re talking college football, the Brewers heading to the World Series, and a conspiracy theory that might have you looking at the Dodgers a little differently. Plus, Kelly Clarkson’s $15,000 bird drama! Did an art gallery get it wrong, or did Kelly take things too far by sharing the story? We’re weighing in. Then there’s Fruitgate on The Traitors, the latest Dancing with the Stars drama, and the Love Is Blind: Boston debate nobody knew we needed: Is bringing iced coffee to a job interview a good idea?  And this week, we have a SPECIAL GUEST joining us for our version of “What’s My Line?” Can you guess Joe Battalamente’s former career? Joe went from the NYPD to writing, comedy, acting, and voiceover work. He shares stories from his career, celebrity encounters in Central Park, and the story behind his book, The Big One: Reflections of an NYPD Lieutenant.

    THE KNICKS CURSE IS REAL, TOM CRUISE'S EPIC FLOP & KFCBarstool, WE NEED TO TALK!

    Send us Fan Mail It's been ANOTHER week, and we're officially wondering if the Knicks' championship run came with a curse attached. The Yankees are struggling, our football teams are breaking our hearts, the Rangers goalie is down, and even the Auburn Tigers can't catch a break. At this point, we're just trying to survive the sports season. 🍷 This week, we're talking sports, celebrity drama, TV finales, reality-TV chaos, and the Hollywood movies that cost a fortune and made practically nothing back. And we have a message for Kevin Clancy (@KFCBarstool): Olivia Pope deserves a spot on your list of TV's greatest fixers. We love you, KFC, but we have questions! Here's what's on the table: 🏀 THE KNICKS CURSE — Did winning it all put a hex on every other New York sports team? We're venting about the Yankees, the NFL, hockey, and the general state of our sports-related mental health. ⚾ THE YANKEES & THE DOLLARS AND SENSE OF IT ALL — Why are fans still paying for tickets when they're this frustrated? Plus, the latest sports-streaming shake-up and the surprise of actually saving $50. 🦁 BELOW DECK FINALE — A great season, Captain Sandy, boatmance drama, and some crew members who have a LOT of explaining to do. ❤️ TED LASSO — We loved the finale, we're ready for more, and we're already speculating about what the next season could look like. ⚖️ WAR — The messy divorce, the billionaire tech mogul, Sienna Miller, and our competing theories about the mole. Who's playing whom? 📺 WHAT WE'RE WATCHING — From The Real Housewives of New York and The Traitors to Animals, Felicity, Brothers & Sisters, and more. Plus, why some network shows just don't hit the same anymore. 👑 THE GREAT TV FIXER DEBATE — KFCBarstool shared his picks for television's best fixers, but we think he left out one VERY important name: Olivia Pope from Scandal. Ray Donovan is great, but come on, Kevin! We need to talk about this. 🎬 WE NEED 2 TALK FLOP FIGHT! — Tom Cruise's Digger has us thinking about Hollywood's biggest box-office disasters. We put two notorious movies head-to-head and guess which one performed worse, including Gigli vs. The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Cutthroat Island vs. The Lone Ranger, Battlefield Earth vs. Gotti, and more. Will you beat us at our own game? The box-office numbers might surprise you! Plus, celebrity house drama, Taylor and Travis' neighbors, celebrity weddings, a new baby, and the songs we think could become the next big party anthems. It's a little sports therapy, a lot of TV opinions, some Hollywood history, and the kind of conversation that happens when two friends have absolutely no shortage of things to say. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    She Blessed The Rains Down in Africaaaaaaa

    Send us Fan Mail WE’RE BACK! And apparently, we have a LOT to talk about. After an unforgettable trip to South Africa, Kristy is back from safari — and she's still crying about it. 😂 She and her podcast partner catch up on everything from the once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, the animals, the people, the wine, the food, the unexpected gin obsession, and why Kristy is already planning her return trip. And yes… she has approximately 5,000 photos to prove it. But while Kristy was living her best safari life, the TV world kept moving — so naturally, we have some catching up to do. This week we talk: 🦒 South Africa & Safari — the animals, the camps, the guides, the food, the wine and the moments Kristy says she will never forget 🍷 South African wine & gin — including the wine Kristy shipped home and her surprising new love of gin & tonics ✈️ The 14-hour flight — how Kristy actually survived the trip and what she did to sleep 🐘 The realities of safari — including the parts nobody tells you about before you go 📺 Big Brother finale — did the right person win? And why did two players basically make the entire season? 🦁 Lioness — that finale, the mystery mole, the season-one connection and the BIG question: will it be back? 💍 The Double Lives of Suburban Wives — we're obsessed, confused and apparently ready to conduct our own investigation. ❤️ Ted Lasso — WHY DID THEY DO THAT?! 🏠 Flipping Out — Jeff Lewis is back, and we are absolutely here for it. 📺 Real Housewives of New York — somehow this season has made a complete 180 and we're loving it. 🎬 Movies & new shows — including The Invite, Celebrity Sex Tape, Power Ballad, War, Brothers, Youth and more. 🎤 Taylor Swift's new album — the hits, the misses and the songs that refuse to leave your head. 🏈 And then… the Stateside Safari! While Kristy was away, Jessica kept track of what was happening back home. So she put Kristy to the test with five true-or-false questions about John Mayer, Madonna, Jalen Brunson, Avengers: Endgame and Brendan Fraser. Did Kristy know what was happening while she was gone? Let's just say… she did pretty damn well. It's the ultimate catch-up episode — part travel diary, part TV therapy session, part pop-culture news recap and 100% We Need 2 Talk. We're back. We missed you. And yes… there's a LOT to talk about. Stay pickled. 🥒❤️

    Kristy's Headed to South Africa, Lioness Is Losing Toes & We Have A LOT to Talk About

    Send us Fan Mail Before Kristy heads to South Africa for her bucket-list adventure (and we take a two-week podcast hiatus!), there is A LOT to talk about. We recap a wild week at the US Open, including Ben Shelton's incredible run, the late-night matches, celebrity sightings and, of course, Jalen Brunson somehow being EVERYWHERE. From the US Open to Madison Square Garden to SNL… we cannot escape him — and we're totally fine with it. 😂 Then there's Alex Earle. We revisit the ending of her Netflix show, the Braxton Berrios/Landon drama and why we are still rooting for Braxton. Plus, Martha Stewart makes an appearance on The Real Housewives of New York, and we have questions about everything happening over there. We're also talking about: 📺 The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — it's back and we're officially hooked 📺 Lioness — will they EVER rescue Joe?! And yes… there is a missing toe 📺 Crew Girl — why we wanted to love it but just… don't 📺 Big Brother — the gameplay is actually GOOD this season 📺 Ransom Canyon getting canceled (and our outrage!) 🎵 Ted Lasso, Olivia Dean & the one song that makes you HAVE to jump ❤️ Andy Cohen's daughter Lucy and the “grandpa” moment 👑 Judge Judy's retirement 👶 Lady Gaga becoming a mom ✈️ Kristy's South Africa countdown, packing stress, wine, chocolate & Michelin-starred restaurants And before we go, we're playing “9/11: Before or After?” — five pop-culture moments that will make you realize just how much time has passed since September 11, 2001. Plus, some laughs, some nostalgia, some very real conversation… and one last glass raised before a two-week break. We'll miss you — but don't worry. We'll still be hanging out on Instagram while Kristy is off chasing elephants. 🐘❤️ Listen now, and while we're gone, catch up on some old episodes and tell a friend about WN2T!

    We Need 2 Talk About Turning 60, Alex Earle & $100 Nuggets”

    Send us Fan Mail t’s a BIG week on We Need 2 Talk! We’re celebrating turning 60, gearing up for football season, talking US Open drama, and somehow discovering that six caviar-topped chicken nuggets can cost more than four movie tickets and four giant popcorns. Yes… really. 💸🍗 We get emotional talking about birthdays, getting older, memories of our moms, and what it feels like to step into a new decade—with a bucket-list trip to South Africa just around the corner. Then we dive headfirst into the things we’re currently obsessed with, including Alex Earle’s wildly fascinating family story, reality-TV drama, CT and Phaedra’s VERY unexpected relationship rumors, Big Brother, Love Island, and the return of some of our favorite TV characters. We also debate whether Theo James should be the next James Bond, try to make sense of Guy Ritchie’s latest mind-bending TV world, discuss Ryan Reynolds’ questionable new movie, celebrate the perfect ending of Trying, and wonder why Sullivan’s Crossing keeps getting renewed. Plus: Tom Hardy is coming back, the Met Gala is in chaos, the US Open is charging outrageous prices, and we discover a blanket so good we may have found our next podcast sponsor. 😂 And of course, we finish with this week’s game: The Prices Open—where we find out whether US Open concessions really are more expensive than everyday life. It’s emotional. It’s ridiculous. It’s expensive. It’s very, very us. We Need 2 Talk.

    Dolly Parton, Jam Wars & 1,050 Hours We’ll Never Get Back

    Send us Fan Mail Dolly Parton, Jam & Why We’re All Stupid People It’s Sunday, we’re at the beach, and somehow we have A LOT to talk about. 💅🏻🍸 This week on We Need 2 Talk, we’re raising a glass to the legendary Dolly Parton and talking about why her passing hit us so hard — from the emotional tributes happening everywhere to her incredible legacy, her 60-year love story, Dollywood, the Imagination Library, and some amazing Dolly facts you may not know. 💕🎶 Then things take a hard left into THE GREAT JAM DEBATE. Does anyone actually eat jam on a regular basis? Apparently, the answer is YES. We hear from the “jammers” and remain skeptical. 🍓😂 We also get into the bizarre world of targeted TV advertising, including some VERY specific Roku commercials, and how ChatGPT is helping us hunt down better deals on our internet and streaming subscriptions. Is AI actually saving us money? Maybe. Is it also making us realize how much we overpay? Absolutely. Plus: 📺 Ted Lasso — Roy Kent, Keely, friendship, relationships and the return of the clique. 🏠 Big Brother celebrates its 1,000th episode, complete with Julie Chen’s greatest fashion and hair moments. 🏝️ Outer Banks continues to test our commitment to television… and our intelligence. 🎬 The Last Sunrise on Prime gets a review — including a LOT of love for its stunning Mallorca setting. 😂 Leanne season two has us questioning whether “funny” hits differently when the subject matter starts getting a little too close to home. 🔥 Double Lives of Suburban Wives has officially become our latest can’t-look-away obsession. We need a reunion show. Immediately. ⚓ And we talk Below Deck, including the latest drama surrounding Nathan and why this season is still keeping us hooked. And finally, because we apparently can’t have a podcast without a game, it’s Dolly Parton True or False! How well do we really know Dolly? The answers may surprise you. 🤠 It’s emotional, ridiculous, opinionated and, as always, completely unfiltered. Stay pickled, everyone! 🍸 Follow We Need 2 Talk wherever you get your podcasts, and if you enjoyed this episode, leave us a rating and review! #WeNeed2Talk #DollyParton #BigBrother #TedLasso #BelowDeck #OuterBanks #RealityTV #PopCulture #TVTalk #Podcast
