It's finally happened y'all. It only took a mild tropical storm to hit New York City for Kendall to hunker down and binge the hottest show of the summer: The White Lotus. So it is about damn TIME to #MentionItAll for all you sweet Marys, including performances we loved/hated, our opinions on the controversial finale, our opinions on creator and writer Mike White, the ass eating, the pooping, you get the picture. Weekly Recap features our favorite Scottish TikToker, Christy Carlson Romano popping off on Shia (clickbait), and a far too lengthy discussion about NYC bagels. Aboard the HME this week is an anon guest conductor, who tells us the story about a first date that was piss-poor, if you know what I mean...

Shake those maracas for "Dave Chappell," Miss Mary, because Bachelor in Paradise is finally here!! Thats right, friends: our bachelor strike has officially ended, and Tat and Bendy are checked into the resort in Tulum. We #MentionItAll, including Kenny's unconfirmed nudity, the icon that is Grocery Store Joe, and how dirty the editors are doing poor, sweaty Tahzjuan. Pop culture hits of the week include the boner killer that was the White Lotus finale, Ben Platt's new heartbreaking album, and the prophetical return of the rat king! Aboard the HME, Tat is back in the cockpit, telling a story that led to him being alone, naked, wet, and surrounded by shattered glass...

Season 3 baby!!! OH how we have missed you, best friends! Welcome back to your weekly dose of Thursday morning chaos with Tat and Bendy. We have MUCH to discuss this week, so buckle up. We are hitting the greatest hits in all things pop culture, reality TV, politics, and olympic commentary. We discuss the GOAT Simone Biles, the TRAVESTY that is the Gossip Girl reboot, the prank ABC is trying to pull on us with the Blake Moynes of it all, and so much more. THEN, for the first time in EBF history: Tat and Bendy watch and react to porn LIVE in the studio! We are not coming to play this season. Aboard the HME (Is there a bathroom? No there is not.) this week, best friend and listener Morgan presents her ticket with the story of her pregnancy scare in the back of an uber...

Season 2 finale LFGGG!!! This week, we have a shorter episode than usual, featuring a final farewell Pop Culture Recap/KiKi with our bffs! It's the week after pride, and Tatty is hurting. Tat gets **vulnerable** about his experimental/disappointing drug use, as well as turning into a nightlife grandpa (he literally dies for a fucking BED this week, like is this man good???) On the Pop Culture front, we talk queer icons like Britney Jean #FreeBritney, and not QUITE queer icons like Joshua Bassett. The olympics, Bendy's return to Bway, I mean we #MentionItAll. Then, TATTY is BACK in the cockpit baby, as he tells the tale of accidentally grinding up on a Comedy Central legend, and not having an OUNCE of chill about it. 

It's that time of year again, pod people: Tat and Bendy's Cape Cod Summer Vacation Eleganza Extravaganza. We are lounging in the sun, we are binge eating seafood and ice cream, and we are RELAXED, Mary. This week is a classic pop culture/bff catch-up episode, featuring live updates of Britney Spears' conservatorship trial, the KUWTK Andy Cohen Special, and obvz we kiki over the latest music out this week as well as pointless TikTok gossip drama. Then, aboard the HME, an anon conductor tells a harrowing tale of bravery that involves a flashlight, some sawdust, and Steven Sondheim.

Happy Thursday, Marys and Larrys! Oh how we've missed you so! In honor of In The Heights hitting the big screen (and the small screen amirite @hbomax), Tat and Bendy are putting on their theatre professional hats and hitting you with the truest tea surrounding Movie Musicals. Which do we love? Which flopped the hardest? And most importantly, WHY? (am I in Anna's Room?) We break down these legendary films and discuss what exactly makes a movie musical an absolute **smash.** Good news, y'all! The HME is back on the tracks this week with a special anon guest conductor. This week, our HME story tells the tale of a young, drunk lass who simply forgot how to read incredibly basic yet operative words, and in doing so, terrorizes her completely angelic boyfriend for almost 24 hours. We stan, honestly...

You guys...we gotta address the elephant in the room: The Bachelorette is back, and according to Tat and Bendy, it is NOTHING of the sort. From casting adjustments (Bendy was going to give paradise one more shot...) to controversies to the largest cast of DUDS I've ever seen squeeze into two limousines, we have no choice but to put our foot down and abstain from watching Katie's season. The franchise couldn't be going any more rogue. HOWEVER, for all of you Bach lovers out there, we decided to do a little blind react this week to the new lot of boys coming to win Katie's vibrating little weirdo heart. Then, the Hot Mess Express gets DERAILED?! NOT clickbait.

June is busting out ALL over, Marys and Larrys. ALL over the tweedle tweedle tens! (if you don't understand the reference, please exit the chat.) It's motherfucking PRIIIDE month, baby, which means Tatty is about to be even more insufferable than usual for the next 3-4 episodes!! After a life catch-up (because Tat and Bendy don't speak outside the studio) and a pop culture recap (feat. Bo Burnham's mom, Aussy mice, and Emma Stone being that bitch YET again in Cruella), the EBF team starts to celebrate pride in the most EBF way possible: making Bendy take a "How Gay Are You" Buzzfeed quiz. The results....are shocking (swear to god). Then, we are back aboard the HME this week with another anon conductor, who gets a little steamy in the Economy+ seats on the back of the bus from NYC to Boston.

You guysssss! It's the one year anniversary of the FIRST EVER episode of EBF, and Tat and Bendy are feeling all sorts of emo in the studio over it! So, this week, in honor of the anniversary, we take a trip down memory lane into the past year of all things EBF: our favorite episodes, favorite quotes, and,  of course, our favorite Hot Mess Express stories. Then, aboard the HME this week, its another anon submission! This week, our guest conductor gets some weiner at a college Halloween party, but it's not what you think...Truly, thank you to all of you who have listened and laughed with us over the past year. We never imagined the podcast getting the response that it has gotten from all of you, and we are so so grateful to have to opportunity to laugh with all of you every Thursday. <3 <3 <3 

Happy Thursday to our beloved Marys and Larrys! After a long and eventful week away, the EBF team is coming back atcha with a proper pop culture/life update recap episode! Highlights include: Kendall's BEEF with Delta Airlines, Joshua Bassett's questionable coming out announcement, Tat and Bendy's gameshow dreams, Lagoona Bloo's debut EP, and the queen Olivia Rodrigo literally inventing pop music. Aboard the Hot Mess Express this week is another gorgeous ~*anon*~ guest conductor that fully arrived to the cockpit HOURS after recording had wrapped (keeping it super profesh over here at EBF). BUT, let us tell ya, it was a story worth waiting for. From rogue fingers up the butt to romantic encounters in sketchy vans in Brooklyn, this ticket's got it all.
