Episode 13

Valentines Day, Super Bowl, and Two Exhausted Moms

Happy 13th episode! Did we mention that 13 is Taylor’s lucky number? No, but we might be the only ones who haven't!

It’s been a week. Millie’s husband is off on a wild adventure without her, leaving her solo parenting for 2 ½ weeks. Maxine is exhausted from her dream job, but excited for her oldest son to come home (before he jets off back to NYC to be a star).

This episode has something for everyone: Blood draws, absentee husbands, Usher, Rihanna, Eminem, Tay Diggs, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, NFL conspiracy theories, matchstick eating (don’t try that at home, friends). Phew!

The friends discuss the Super Bowl, the good (Usher?) the bad (Usher?), the ugly (um….Travis…you’re gonna give yourself an aneurism…), and the crazy (did Dark Brandon really script the whole thing?).

Speaking of…nothing really…how was your Valentine’s Day? The ladies didn’t do much except go to tap class and eat gluten free pizza. But, really, what more could you ask for? Candy hearts that break your teeth and cigarette-infused brownies? Those were the good old days!
