This Week’s Chaos 🎙️

-So… Are We Allowed to Be Friends With Our Exes?

Following your ex on social media is one thing. Liking their posts is another. But at what point does “we’re just friends” become “we need to have a conversation about this”?

-Whatever You Do, Don’t Play Musical Bingo Against Kristen Gates 🎶

What starts as a fun little game quickly turns into a battle for survival when Kristen is involved. Apparently, there are no friends at Musical Bingo.

-Football Is Back, and So Is Matt’s Gambling Habit

Coincidence? We think not. Is Matt simply enjoying a little football betting, or should we all be staging an intervention before kickoff?

-Kristen Goes to Court “

Kristen Gates spent the entire week in court doing some very important lawyering in the Lindsay Clancy case. Real courtroom drama, real lawyers, and thankfully, no one yelled “Objection!” just for fun.

-Kristen Has Entered a New Career Battle

Just when Kristen thought she had enough going on, a new career challenge enters the chat. Let the competition begin.

-Matt is not a car guy, but that hasn’t stopped him from confidently talking about cars like he’s been turning wrenches his whole life. This week, he had a car issue that he and roadside assistance bravely tackled together—mostly roadside assistance.

-Frenemies: Who’s Really Better at It?

Are women more likely to have frenemies, or are men just better at pretending they don’t? We investigate the complicated art of being friends with someone you might secretly want to beat.

-Fast Food: The Final Straw

At this point, we’re starting to think fast food restaurants are personally messing with us. Wrong orders, painfully long waits, missing food—you name it. And when the drive-thru gets it wrong, apparently our new hobby is parking the car and marching inside to fix it ourselves.
