What are the actual requirements of being a good friend? Apparently, pulling rogue chin hairs, pointing out questionable makeup, and telling someone when they have food in their teeth are just the beginning.

This week, Erica and Jenn are tackling the unwritten rules of friendship, why grown adults still feel the need to make excuses instead of simply saying no, and how many invitations it takes before you finally stop asking.

Somehow, we also get into high school reunions with an alarming amount of beer, our questionable fashion choices growing up, dancing like absolute lunatics, and a childhood cigarette-smoking operation that probably should've stayed in the '90s.

Then things get a little more serious as we talk about the invisible work of running a household, why planning everyone's entire existence is actually a job, and how sending your husband to the grocery store can somehow create more work.

Plus, school picture day failures, learning new things after 40, Erica's refusal to voluntarily enter freezing temperatures, and a friendship story Jenn would really prefer Erica had kept to herself.

As always, we're covering absolutely everything and solving almost nothing.

The petty hates are back, and apparently, we have more grievances than we realized.

This week, Erica and Jenn tackle everything from impossible TJ Maxx price stickers and grocery store aisle blockers to Florida's questionable fall fashion choices. Erica reveals three things her husband does that drive her absolutely insane (including a very concerning shower routine), while Jenn defends her belief that soup belongs in a round container. Obviously.

Somewhere along the way, we discuss disastrous unboxing videos, shopping struggles at 40, unfinished home projects, and why Erica is considering dressing as the Lorax for her birthday.

We also give a shoutout to @floridasewcialite for reminding us that colors don't have to follow seasonal rules, and have a small request for @Mosseri: Can we please do something about those floating Instagram hearts?

As always, we're solving absolutely nothing, but we're having a great time discussing it.

Erica and Jenn are back together this week, and apparently all it takes is a gloomy Florida day to send the conversation in every possible direction.

They catch up on closet renovations, the chaos of being temporarily displaced from your own stuff, and Jenn’s habit of doing things now because her “future self” will be grateful. Then Erica shares the very logical series of events that led her husband to drive their golden retriever to the neighborhood pool for a bath rather than simply move a hose to the front yard.

From there, things unravel exactly as expected: marriage logic, Flat Jenn, getting “turnt” after 40, 3 a.m. wake-ups, emotional-support water bottles, the hydration privileges of today’s children, hair and makeup routines, and a surprisingly passionate debate over Italian pronunciation.

Eventually, Jenn breaks out her running list of petty hates, including lawnmowers before 8 a.m., people who stop in doorways, public speakerphone users, rogue gym weights, website pop-ups, the word “colorway,” and anyone who expects more than three consecutive blessings after sneezing.

Because at some point, you’re simply no longer blessed.

Plus, Erica adds a petty grievance of her own, they talk Scandal, and somehow a rainy day leaves everyone feeling a little better by the end.
