First live show back from vacation! We play is it an Olympic Sport or Nah? In Group Therapy, "Abby" is having an issue in her small department at work with two workers that kind of date and are gossiping and slacking. How does she handle it? Then we got a DM from Lana who wants to rant about a guy that ghosted her, but maybe she needs a little tough love herself!

We feel like there were a lot of "lies" on the show - from how couples met, to the lies husbands tell. Enjoy!

The show included the update from the listener who just wanted to help her friend out with a "love" problem and more!

In a special tribute to our megafan Lauren aka the Queen of Corydon, we rerun a game we played with her and a TBT featuring a special request to her husband. Fly high Queen!!

Samantha’s question to us is causing division amongst her friend group - so hopefully it won’t cause too much division between us!

This Setting the Bar story is basically like a more extreme version of the Ferrari storyline in the classic movie, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
