    #82 - She Was Giving 70 and He Gave Nothing Back

    This week, we're talking about what happens when one person in a relationship sets every standard, gives everything, and then gets blamed for wanting equal effort back.

We also play a full round of Asking for a Friend covering mental health days, sex ed, overpayment ethics, ghosting, 90s R&B opinions, and the true cost of partying like you're 21 when your body is very much not.

    This week, we’re talking about the friendships that fade without warning, and what it really looks like when someone shows you they’re done, even if they never say it.
