Bethany's been eating powder. Straight powder. Join Dennis as he tries to understand this new eating habit and whether or not he should be terrified by her newest podcast obsession. Bethany's idea for a “Worst Couple in the World” segment takes a turn that we all should have seen coming. Then, Dennis seeks Bebe's input on frugal summer activities, knowing full well what that “input” would be. Do you agree?

Maybe our favorite episode ever 😂 Recorded immediately after a massive technology breakdown, Bethany and Dennis are feeling PUNCHY. After going over an important lesson they learned last week, Bethany teaches Dennis about the 5 Love Languages. Could this tried-and-true concept help your relationship? And what’s your REAL Love Language? (Bebe’s is Cadbury Cream Eggs.) Finally, Dennis shows Bethany some new innovations in tech and A.I., and Bebe has SOME FEELINGS about them.

First things first: Bebe and Dennis had their friends over. Why did the children leave freaked out? Then, Bethany opens up about a massive realization she had about her life. Are you struggling with the same thing? This conversation may help! Plus, Dennis puts on his old-timey thinking cap because it's time for an unexpected and wholly unnecessary Solar Eclipse-Themed Space Multiple Choice Quiz!

Have you been feeling disconnected lately? Like you haven't been hanging out with friends as much as you did pre-pandemic? You're not alone! Dennis has a fascinating segment about why so many of us are more isolated than ever (it's not why you think!) and how our beloved INTROVERTS can easily get comfy human connection, too! Plus, it's Dennis' birthday so we're playing Dirty Birthday MadLibs! Grab your headphones 🙃

Here's the article Dennis talks about:

This was truly one of the most fun episodes we've ever recorded! After our beloved cat Minerva crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this month, we were obviously devastated. So, to help others who may be processing grief, we talk about how we worked through it and some tips we have! But more than anything, we spend the episode talking about how funny, bizarre, and adorably infuriating Minerva was, even in her last moments. We also describe the darkly funny moments we had that we can laugh about now. Come have a fun (and hopefully enlightening) group therapy session with us! xx Dennis & Bebe

NOTE: Since the recording of this episode, our beloved Minerva passed away. Thank you to everyone who has sent their love and well wishes. Those of you who attend our live recordings know what a huge part she played in all of it, and in our lives. So when we talk in this episode about Minerva being sick, please send some prayers up to the Rainbow Bridge and tell her how much she is desperately missed. 💔 xx D & Bb

Are you decluttering and trimming your spending along with us? Dennis has an exciting update that blew Bethany's mind! (Like, life-changing stuff.) Bethany goes OFF on one very specific person, and then Dennis and Bebe have to compromise on two very lively rounds of TierMaker!

Since the last episode was more serious, it's time for games! After some enlightening listener emails, Dennis gives Bebe a challenge: guess the lyrics (and melodies) of some of his favorite songs. Since the Venn diagram of their musical tastes is just two separate circles, Bethany gives it the old college try. (Wait until you hear her "Placebo" song...) Plus, have you seen these movies? What do you think they're about?
