This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast!🎙️ Press Play & Pray: 80s Fever Dreams, Friendship Truths & The Enneagram ExposéIn this chaotic (and completely on-brand) episode of This Is Why We Can’t Have a Podcast, Jen and Ashten launch their brand-new segment “Jen’s Fever Dream Jukebox” — where they react to iconic (and slightly unhinged) music videos from the past. First up? The 80s one-hit wonder “Into the Night”… and let’s just say 👀 things get awkward fast. Between payphone serenades, magic carpet rides, and questionable age gaps, the girls ask the important question: How did we think this was romantic? 😂But the episode doesn’t stop at retro cringe.The conversation pivots into something deeper — ad...

This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast!Mixed Signals, Messy Investigations, and Mascot MadnessThis week’s Listener Confession Friday takes a sharp left turn into private-investigator territory 🕵️‍♀️ when an anonymous listener admits just how far they went to get the one thing no one would give them: a straight answer. What starts as unanswered texts and vague replies spirals into church livestreams ⛪, Instagram sleuthing 📸, and the kind of detective work that would make the FBI say, “okay… maybe chill.”From there, Jen and Ashten unpack why people are so allergic to direct communication 🙄, how “lukewarm” answers keep people emotionally stuck 🫠, and why closure sometimes requires seeing the truth with your own two eyes 👀. The conversation g...

Our very first Listener Confession has entered the chat… and BABY, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We’re still recovering. Emotionally. Spiritually. Legally.From there, we spiral (naturally) into the Top 10 Reasons People Get Divorced and honestly??? We are CONFUSED how some of these couples even made it to the altar in the first place. Like sir… you hated her dog, her laugh, and her entire existence but still said “I do”?? Bold. Reckless. Unwell.Then Ashten absolutely LOSES IT over modern-day proposals.
