    Hosts: Stefanie Navarro & Meredith Hill
    Run Time: ~57 min
    Theme: TikTok skincare fails, throwback hair trends, bizarre animal news, serious true crime, and a juicy AITA story.

    🎧 In This Episode:

    Stefanie and Meredith are back and catching up on all the things. From questionable beauty routines and butterfly clips to a wild missing person case and a husband who definitely wasn’t ready to be recognized, this episode is a rollercoaster of chaos, crime, and cackles.

    💬 Topics Covered:

    💄 TikTok Skincare Fails & Makeup Realizations:
    What happens when you don’t wet your sponge or apply hyaluronic acid to a dry face? You end up on TikTok trying to fix your face, apparently.

    🦋 Banana Clips & Butterfly Claws:
    A nostalgic deep dive into 90s and early 2000s hair accessories that maybe should not make a comeback. (RIP, squiggly headbands.)

    🐺 Dire Wolves Are (Kinda) Back?!
    Science has gone full Jurassic Park and brought back a prehistoric pup. Also, Stephanie tries to adopt a seal pup mid-episode. As one does.

    🦀 Crab Claw Cults & Trunk-Sniffing Horror:
    Meredith encounters hermit crabs in a mysterious worship circle around a claw. Also: a horrifying true story involving a decomposing body in a trunk. Yes. Really.

    🚨 Track Meet Tragedy in Texas:
    The hosts unpack the heartbreaking story of a stabbing at a high school track event. No matter who’s “right,” lives were lost and forever changed.

    🕵️‍♀️ Missing Person Deep Dive – Jamie Fraley:
    Jamie vanished in 2008 from Gastonia, NC. Suspects, strange clues (missing shoelaces??), a creepy future father-in-law, and a trunk-related twist you have to hear to believe.

    🔥 AITA – I Dated My Neighbor’s Husband:
    What happens when your neighbor invites you to dinner and the “husband” turns out to be your former Bumble date… who ghosted you… and was married the whole time? Yeah. That.

    🧠 Quote of the Week:

    “He said he wasn’t the alleged suspect. He said, ‘I did it.’”
    — Stephanie, reading through a chilling true crime police report

    📢 Announcements:

    • No book review this week, but the true crime is extra juicy.
