Unfiltered- Dropped Pins, Disappointed friends and Desperation

On today's unfiltered: Nicole is in need of directions - literally and Lauren’s attempt to rescue her using a dropped pin goes just about as well as you’d expect. Spoiler: it makes everything worse, mostly because she is too busy being chatted up by a stranger to assist. Elsewhere, Lauren is in full-on meltdown mode after trying (and, let’s be honest, failing) to install an automated watering system—aka a classic Blue Job gone rogue. Plus, we’ve got a listener’s meltdown as she involves herself in Lauren’s puppy raising. (Brave). It's emotional, it’s relatable, and it may or may not involve us Googling “how to use a dropped pin” It’s another week of midlife mayhem, passive panic, and questionable decision-making.
