Would love some non interview episodes. Just some of you guys talking to each other, doing reddit posts, answering listener questions

Yes! Also some non depressing episodes about cancer, death, trauma, PCOS, SA, losing children and everything morbid that is going on in the news 24/7.
It's not that we shouldn't be talking about this, but the 'doom scrolling' on social media does make me feed depressed sometimes. Chat with the broads and rob is awesome.

Thank you for having Walker on your podcast! Alabama’s finest!

Had no idea Walker and his wife lost their baby. I’m in tears. I’m a baby loss mama too but I didn’t get to hold mine. We lost 9 after having 2 healthy babies-one of those 9 was a perfect baby girl we named Mya and another named Olivia💗- we don’t know the gender of the other babies. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. 💔 So glad he shared their story. Amazing what they fought through!
Olivia, thank you for your sweet words. It helped my grieving heart too. ❤

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Walker Hayes sharing his story and I am a believer that God uses this man and his family to witness to others who need God’s grace! He was a great guest and I can’t wait for your Family Feud episode to air!! Also is there something that happened I missed with you Rachel? Your wearing a gold ring?? 💍

And oh no why do I feel like there’s going to be “is Rachel expecting” rumors?
now since that joke was made 😅 i wonder if like a clarity video will be made just like what happened with the “ wedding ring” incident😂
Rob has a point Portillos chocolate cake is so good😂 and I don’t even like to eat cake too! But I’ll have a bite but it’s so rare. So if I do then I go to portillos😂
