    Margarita's Irish Exit

    In this episode we discuss the first miscommunication in our friendship - happy to report we were very demure very mindful and communicated very well! But at the end of the day Margarita's Irish Exit was not great. On theme, the friendship dilemma deals with what to do when your friends always ditches you on a night out and never tells you where they're going or who they're with.

    Be the Leah Remini in Your Friendships

We also discuss what things to bring to a seance if you want to summon us from beyond the grave, and how to end the working relationship with a friend when you started a business together - and still remain friends.

    Baby Reindeer and Why Is It So Hard To Say No?

    In this episode we get to know each other through the biggest lessons we've learned and our dream roles, and discuss the unhealthy friendship dynamics in Baby Reindeer (but do not dive into any of the sensitive content related to the story). Our friendship dilemma is about how to navigate irksome / icky group dynamics. Three's a crowd or so they say. Thank you @abbysadleir on TikTok for the dinner party questions!
