You guys, the girls are still recovering from this one.  This week they have a murder mystery on their hands (how frickin' dramatic is that!?).  But first, Krista and Lindsey share their "HUNDRED/NOT HUNDRED" of the week.  Two weeks post election, and the girls are able to articulate their emotional response to the election outcome.  This is unedited.  STAY WOKE FAM.  CHASE THE DARK WITH BRIGHT LIGHT.  Speaking of bright light...It's an uber driver (again) and a fitness instructor that fill 'em up.  Prepare for a full blown profession of love on air.  And, uh, Lindsey's Uber Driver is friends with a raccoon.  UBER ROCKS.   FINALLY, WHAT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.  A listener calls in with a crazy story, followed by a "what the heck should I do"?  Sorry, can't ruin this one.  Let's just say the girls never thought dating on an app could be so darn KOOKY and LAW & ORDER-esque.  This story is not to be missed.   This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
