Welcome to the And Also Senior Center! For this very special Halloween episode, Madeline, Sheyda, and Summer are dressed in full granny mode. They’re joined by Landon and Riley of Bloodline Banter, the cousins from small-town Georgia who turned viral TikToks into a viral podcast.

The crew trades their best Halloween stories, including a blow-up sumo costume that sent one of the boys flying off a four-wheeler and an 11th-grade haunted house escape that ended with a call to grandma from a Baskin-Robbins. Madeline relives tracking her “stolen” phone across campus to a chapel at 2am, only to find out Summer had it the whole time. Then they read a listener submission for a Halloween edition of Cousin Council, featuring a blackout Hooters costume, a campus-wide flashing spree, and a boyfriend who ripped out his own tooth.

From there it’s sea urchin gonads, Tennessee’s most extreme haunted house, a spooky round of would-you-rather, a verdict on who’s going to be the worst old person, and a heated candy corn debate.

Reddit night is back! Madeline, Sheyda, and Summer are joined on the couch by longtime friend Angelina, who’s in town from Tampa, recurring guest Sophia, and first-timer Kyle. The crew works through four messy Reddit posts.

First, a woman eight years into a long-distance relationship wants to freeze embryos using a sperm donor, and her boyfriend is not having it. Then a guy calls his girlfriend “Olivia” while they’re loading a Facebook Marketplace desk. He swears he doesn’t know any Olivias, so how does a coworker with 100+ emails to him fit in? A groom-to-be finds out three months before the wedding that his fiancée was married for four years and never mentioned it. And a new dad asks for ten minutes with his baby before making his postpartum wife an omelet, which ends in the omelet going in the trash and a big fight.

There are verdicts, hot takes, and a surprising number of rulings in the men’s favor. Like, subscribe, and share so we can keep bringing episodes your way!

After one too many comments calling them man haters, Sheyda, Madeline, and Summer are setting the record straight with an entire episode dedicated to the good ones. The rules are simple: no negative man-speak allowed, and anyone who slips gets the buzzer.

The girls kick things off with "I Love Men When…," trading their most specific green flags. Those include men who are protective without being possessive, men who pick up the tab on planning, men who remember the tiny thing you mentioned two weeks ago, and men who have hobbies that have nothing to do with impressing anyone. Madeline tells the story of a sweltering Nashville party bus, a wardrobe malfunction, and the boyfriend who handled it without a single word.

From there, the conversation gets real. They talk about what men think women want versus what actually matters, why emotional intelligence is attractive, the manosphere and what's getting lost in the conversation about masculinity, and why modern dating's endless options have everyone chasing a 100% match when 80% might be the sweet spot.

Plus a rapid-fire round of small gestures that make them melt, and a forehead guessing game that doesn't go quite as planned.

To the men who show up: this one's for you. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and let us know what you love about men in the comments!

This week, the girls play a very unserious game of "could you survive this?" – and spoiler alert, the answer is mostly no.

We run through zombie apocalypses and deserted islands (fire-starting skills: questionable), then debate which reality dating show would actually break us – Survivor, Temptation Island, Love Island, The Bachelor, all of it. From there it's a trip back in time: medieval plagues, the Salem witch trials (turns out one of us is a literal descendant of an accused witch), gladiator combat, and a deep dive into real Titanic survival statistics by ticket class. We also stress-test our odds as kindergarten teachers, flight attendants, wedding planners, and lifelong roommates, because apparently that's scarier than the zombies.

Basically: none of us are making it out of the Colosseum, but we'd absolutely win The Amazing Race.

Grab a drink, get cozy, and tell us in the comments what you think you'd survive!

Welcome back to the And Also Podcast! This week, the girls are finally home from Europe and unpacking everything (mentally, not literally, laundry is still in the suitcase).

This episode is less a highlight reel and more a full sensory download: a strange man leading them through streets at 4am with no explanation, a lovable chain-smoking tour guide named Paul who lied to their faces for eight hours straight, and the kind of hot-guy streak abroad that makes you seriously reconsider your zip code. Sprinkle in a Wembley Stadium run, a Mexican standoff with a child in a castle, and the group's aggressive new appreciation for American air conditioning, and you've got the full chaos of a girls' trip that none of them are fully back from yet.

Basically, we left as three girls and came back as Paul's girls. Grab a drink, get cozy, and get ready for the messiest, most unhinged recap we've ever given.

This week, we're talking about the conversation everyone has... eventually.

From awkward "birds and the bees" talks (or never having one at all) to first kisses, first times, hookup culture, and everything we wish someone had explained sooner, we unpack the stories that shaped how we think about sex, relationships, and intimacy.

Along the way, we share our own experiences, debate whether men and women really experience sex differently, talk about the emotional side of physical relationships, and explore why so many people leave sex education knowing surprisingly little about their own bodies.

It's funny, uncomfortable, surprisingly honest, and one of our most vulnerable conversations yet.

The girls are officially Europe bound, but before they catch their flights, they end up going somewhere completely unexpected... moral philosophy.

What starts with excitement over castles, cobblestone streets, and girls' trips quickly turns into one of the most thought provoking conversations they've had yet. From sharing real life stories about heartbreak, loyalty, prom regrets, and impossible decisions, to debating classic moral dilemmas that challenge what we'd all do in the moment, nothing is off limits.

Would you tell someone they're being cheated on? Would you pull the lever? Would you sacrifice years of your own life for someone else? This episode is full of stories that are funny, surprising, and a little uncomfortable in the best way.

As always, the conversation goes everywhere, and somehow still ends exactly where it should.

So grab a drink, get cozy, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
