Laura's Unhinged

Thursday Apr 18, 2024

Thursday Apr 18, 2024

After a nice string of well organized, decently timed episodes, we're back with another lengthy one because the vibes are weird and Laura's got a lot to say.
Starting off with her share time which is how she is currently obsessed with Lord of the Rings. Stephanie talks about how Gerry and Theresa are already divorcing a mere months after their marriage because neither wants to leave their family (if only someone had said that was going to happen while the show was airing, huh?) and Tyler thanks Laura for being one of the most supportive people when it comes to his music career.
Then it's on To Vanderpump Rules where everybody's still making us mad and questioning whether or not we want to keep watching this atrocious season, a quick stop in The Valley where its pretty much the same thing, another good episode of Survivor, and we gifure some stuff out about The Amazing Race to walk back some of the stuff we said last week as well as discuss which two of us would make a good team!

Water Is Everyone's Thing!

Monday Apr 08, 2024

Monday Apr 08, 2024

Man, something had all of us in weird moods this week; eclipses and retrogrades and all that. Nevertheless, we're here to talk about some reality TV yet again!
First is a super short share time. Laura's stressed AF and brings up Buffy for the first time in WEEKS and we just now realized it, Stephanie was NOT a fan of Charity and Dotun's April Fools prank, and Tyler was severely under-caffeinated going into the show.
Then we start with Vanderpump Rules where we discuss how Lala may have been conned by this "water sommelier" nonsense, we accidentally stumble across why she's been so un-Lala-ish in these last few episodes, and how we FINALLY got a good episode in this season. Then it's onto another underwhelming episode of The Valley. Followed by great episode of Survivor and then us being very confused about how we're 4 episodes into The Amazing Race and have only been to two countries. And maybe we have an idea of why that is.

Monday Apr 01, 2024

This predictably boring season of The Bachelor is finally over, but of course it had to piss us off on it's way out.
Laura decided to randomly pick the order we went in share time because it's her birthday, so Stephanie starts us off with some more Summer House updates, Tyler talks about how he's a professional procrastinator and perfectly timed watching pretty much everything to be ready JUST in time to record this episode, then Laura relishes in the fact that she a tweet go viral over the last week.
Then we jump into our shows, starting with how The Bachelor's "shocking finale" was overhyped, just like we knew it would be. We breeze through Vanderpump Rules and The Valley because nothing really happened in either of them. Then we finish off with what happened on Survivor and The Amazing Race.

We're Learning And Growing

Tuesday Mar 26, 2024

Tuesday Mar 26, 2024

In a rare turn of events, we managed to squeeze FIVE shows into an hour and a half episode! Look at us, getting better at this stuff.
In a short and sweet share time, Tyler has nothing because he's on vacation, Laura discovered Dance Moms and that's been her latest obsession, and Stephanie catches us up on the drama with Lindsey and Carl on Summer House.
Then we get into a Bachelor Women Tell All that was slightly more interesting than the ones in the past and discuss what this "shocking" ending could end up being. Then we talk about possibly giving up on Vanderpump Rules because it has been BORING this season. The Valley premiered and it was nice to see some familiar, toxic faces to spice things up. Then we finish off with Survivor and The Amazing Race, neither of which should be 90 minute episodes and we'll die on that hill.

Get Off Of Baseball Already!

Monday Mar 11, 2024

Monday Mar 11, 2024

Check out the YouTube (@hotgarbagepod) for the blooper at the end!
The vibes were weird today, but somehow we manged to wrangle in Share Time so its not a majority of the episode! we change things up and Tyler starts it off being thankful about not having to manually change clocks in Daylight Savings Time. Then Laura and Stephanie split time by talking about Love is Blind and The Traitors respectively, as well as a nice visual surprise from Stephanie to Laura and Tyler (as well as the audience) that leads to Laura hijacking her share time too. Then it's onto yet another boring hometowns episode of The Bachelor with Laura bragging that she was right. Then we talk more about how Tom Sandoval is ruining our enjoyment of Vanderpump Rules, but how Brock was INCREDIBLE this episode. And then we end things with a brief recap of week two of Survivor and once again reiterate that 90 minutes is way too much for this show.

Laura Short Circuits

Tuesday Mar 05, 2024

Tuesday Mar 05, 2024

We have another lengthy sharetime this week, which is great because we also added another show to talk about too!
Stephanie catches us up on Summer House, The Traitors, and Love Is Blind. Laura tells us a story about how someone found a random baby picture of hers in the street, and Tyler talks about yet another sign that his Boston Red Sox are not going to be fun to watch this year.
Then it's onto The Bachelor, including some finale predictions. Followed by Vanderpump Rules, where Laura's brain breaks mid-thought. Then we finish it off with this season's premiere of Survivor!

We Have A Lexi Problem

Monday Feb 26, 2024

Monday Feb 26, 2024

Quick update: Laura's professor emailed her back immediately after this episode was edited, so you can just ignore everything we said there, please and thank you.
We're covering two weeks of shows this week because some of us weren't feeling good and honestly just needed a break, but we're back!
Laura starts us off with a share time rant about her professor and reads a snippet of an email that she had sent to her professor, Stephanie tells us about how The Traitors had ruined her day, and Tyler adds yet another title to his growing list of titles for this podcast. Then we get into The Bachelor and Laura goes into an oddly educational rant in regards to what Lexi is doing on the show and why we don't really like her. Then we wrap up with Vanderpump Rules discussions about a possible re-shoot conspiracy, how Sandoval is ruining the show for us, and how Rachel has been the opposite of Sandoval and owned up to her mistakes, but should just disappear.

(This episode was supposed to be out January 22, 2024. I'm also sorry for the weird audio glitches. I'm not sure why there were so many.)
It's the last week before Bachelor returns! But for now, we cover another two seasons of Girls! Laura discusses the struggles of trying to find a new show to watch while she does homework, Stephanie catches us up on the drama of Southern Charm, and Tyler's mad about the way a certain actor pronounces his last name. And then we recap the messy lives of Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna in seasons 4 and 5 of Girls.

I Can't Look At Myself

Monday Jan 22, 2024

Monday Jan 22, 2024

(This episode was supposed to come out January 15th. Sorry y'all)
We're back with seasons 2 and 3 of Girls!
Nobody really has sharetime topics because we recorded this one a couple days after the last episode, but it still somehow takes like 30 minutes, so go figure. Then we continue where we left Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, Shoshanna and the rest after season 1 and Tyler gives his thoughts on the series so far and where he thinks it's going since Laura and Stephanie already know.
