    Hosts: Stefanie Navarro & Meredith Hill

    Theme: Easter chaos, hilarious AITA drama, a haunting true crime case, TikTok spirals, and the reality of being a not-so-perceptive witness.

    🎧 In This Episode:

    From exploding Peeps to wild Easter baskets and nostalgic playlists, Stefanie and Meredith cover all the chaotic corners of life—including an unsolved local mystery. This week, they take a deep dive into the disappearance of Kyle Fleischmann, a case that’s haunted Charlotte for nearly two decades. Plus, they roast brunch culture, judge a mother-in-law with main character syndrome, and reveal way too much about their witness potential (or lack thereof).

    – DIY basket inspo, candy chaos, and a microwave battle tradition you’ve never heard of but will try.

    💄 TikTok Skincare + Googly Eye Crimes
    – From unblended hyaluronic acid to prank-level petty dreams, the girls spiral with laughter (and ideas they definitely shouldn’t follow through on).

    🎧 Playlist Names & Roadtrip Memories
    – Ridiculous Spotify titles, shared sibling playlists, and club bangers from their party days.

    🧠 AITA: My MIL Rolls In Like She Pays Rent
    – One woman’s fight to keep her bonnet, fridge, and dignity intact when her mother-in-law treats her house like a reality show.

    🔍 True Crime Deep Dive: The Disappearance of Kyle Fleischmann
    – Vanished after a night out in Charlotte, 24-year-old Kyle left behind unanswered calls, eerie theories, and a devastated family still seeking truth.
    – Timeline breakdown, theories (accident? foul play?), and connections to other missing men cases.

    📚 Next Week’s Book: The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene
    – A dual-timeline thriller involving cold cases, podcast sleuthing, and a lake that holds terrifying secrets.

    🧠 Quote of the Week:

    “Am I the a-hole for telling my mother-in-law to stop rolling up to my crib like she pays bills?”

    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:

    🐺 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:

    🔥 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
