#161 When Is It Okay To Just Leave The Group Chat?

Jordana and Sami start off talking Vanderpump Rules. Did Scheana finally wake up to reality? Do Jax and Brittany really love each other? After, they move on to Instagram Stories. Jordana points out that Stories offer a unique platform for when you feel like you're proud of a moment, but not proud enough to make it permanent. Sami quips that they're special because the engagement is between "you and your DMs." They discuss the sincerity and earnestness of the Insta Story. Sure, some of it is real, but some of it is puffery. What's definitely real is that Sami is afraid of Jordana's judgment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

People talk about everything except money which is crazy because a lot of us live paycheck to paycheck. Sami and Jordana talk about how there’s more of an attraction than ever to spending what you don’t have due to social media and because it’s become less taboo to flaunt your wealth. Sami describes herself as a “reformed impulse shopper” and Jordana advocates the unsexy practice of investing. They also talk about money’s role in romantic relationships whether it’s dining at the expensive sushi spot vs staying in, or taking that sweet vacay vs saving for the long term.

Jordana and Sami wax condescending on a huge variety of topics this ep. starting with their equal love of obscure movie quotes. After they judge everyone on Vanderpump Rules, namely Jax (who definitely deserves it).

They wrap things up talking about babies and how many on Insta have turned the gestation process into way too many posts. Wow, seriously, you're exploiting someone who's not even there. Don't miss "Dear Betches" this week; this listener wants to keep hooking up with a guy, but her friend is threatening to end their friendship over it. Learn more about your ad choices.
