Your imperfect yet oh-so-professional cohosts return in the new year to dish about the past and take a messy look into family dynamics. (Dish about family? Look messily into the past? Take your pick.)

Topics (and tangents) include:

• The incident that blew up Lauren’s life right after we recorded our in-person episode two weeks ago
• More insurance nightmares
• The LIVE ON-AIR death of Gary the microphone
• A milestone for Christina and why she doesn’t want to talk about it
• How our respective families deal with secrets and what happens when they get out
• Our reactions when family members share they’ve been sharing similar struggles
• Thinking back to all the times we were f*cked up at family events and wondering why nobody said anything
• Anxieties around spilling our guts on the Internet for anyone to hear
• Ways addiction and depression has been talked about (and covered up) in our families
• Being vulnerable with people who don’t know how to respond
• Controversy around weed
