Irritations: The Bottom Rack Manifesto
Everyone has irritations - those little things that drive us crazy day after day. In this episode, Beth Shannon leads our panel of professional complainers through life's most maddening moments. From Jim's mice with boundary issues to Shelley's dreams of removing bad drivers from the road, we air our grievances and propose solutions (some more violent than others). Plus: the proper way to unload a dishwasher, the tragedy of women's jean pockets, and Virgin River's impossible timeline. Join us for this therapeutic rage session - because complaining with friends is the best form of therapy!

Travel FOMO: Detroit, Disneyland and John's War Zone Wishlist
Our podcasters tackle the New York Times' "52 Places to Visit" list and discover they've collectively been to... approximately 10 of them. From Jim's scathing "Virgin River" review to heated debates about Amsterdam's restaurants and the mysterious allure of Nebraska, this episode is packed with travel dreams, budget realities, and the places our hosts are actually planning to visit in 2025. Warning: severe travel FOMO guaranteed.

Anti-recommendations: Because Life's Too Short for Dancing Tongues
Five friends take on the noble task of steering you away from entertainment pitfalls while pointing you toward hidden gems! Join us as we navigate the choppy waters of bizarre Super Bowl commercials (including that disturbing dancing tongue), streaming services that John fast-forwards through, and shows we love to hate (we're looking at you, Virgin River). Along the way, Beth champions Gary Oldman in "Slow Horses," Jim passionately critiques a potential Oscar winner, and we all learn that Harrison Ford makes everything better – even therapy. Whether you're looking for what to watch or what to skip, we've suffered through the bad stuff so you don't have to.
