GabFest

Have you ever been blamed for something you didn't do?  Those accusations can stick with you! But now it's time to hear Gabbers' side of the story.  Or maybe you let someone take the blame for you. When the pressure is on, it's hard not to.  But now it's time to set the record straight and get it all out in the open. 

There are some song lyrics that just make you say, "what?!"  They're not necessarily innappropriate, they just don't make sense.  But as long as there's a catchy beat, apparently it doesn't matter.  This week, the Gab Gals break down song lyrics.  They get to the bottom of some of them, others they speculate, and the rest....still don't make sense. 

Buckle up because we're talking Emergency Room stories!  There's never a dull moment in the E.R. and these Gabber stories did not dissappoint.  We know a lot of you listen with your kids in the car and there may be a couple of submissions that could be a little much for them.  We use pretty mild language and don't get into the nitty gritty, but we want to give that disclaimer.  

We're opening up the vault to bring you a Halloween episode from Season 1 that usually isn't available on your podcast feed!  (the audio will not be as good as usual)The Gab Gals talk Halloween costumes and share listener submissions about haunted houses. And, of course, we'll get taken on a tangent or two.  

It's spooky season and this week the Gab Gals are talking all things scary in a supersized episode!  First, they'll kick things off with listener submitted weird phobias.  Then you'll hear haunted tales from listeners' hometowns.  Now, don't worry too much, most stories are pretty mild but littles could maybe get a little scared.

What's your most embarassing Halloween Costume?  The Gab Gals head down memory lane to relive listeners' submitted costume funnies and failures.  And, of course, Britt and Alyson have plenty of their own costume fails to share along the way. 

It's part 2 of our workplace series!  We heard all about your wacky co-workers last week, so now it's time to roast some bosses.  And boy, do some of them NEED to be roasted. Sometimes it's hard to know where to draw the line when it comes to authority figures, but one thing's for sure, when they ask you to test a mattress with them....don't do it!

You work side by side with people you would otherwise never speak to, and it gets weird! Maybe you end up forced to kiss one to get out of the walk-in freezer, or maybe you see one modeling lingerie at her bachelorette party.  But we love all the drama, personalities, and stories they bring with them.  

Oh the drama!  There's nothing quite like middle school love and Gabbers have written in with some doosies.  This week, listen for stories of fickle frenemies, bewildering breakups, and hallway hookups.   It's all a part of the fast paced, cut throat world of middle school love. 

We all love teachers, they make the world go 'round.  This week you'll hear the good, the bad and the funny stories all about taeachers.  Some of them take a dark turn and the Gab Gals take on the challenge to make them funny, however awkward they get.  

The Gab Gals are back!  This week we talk about the most embarassing things that Gabbers' parents have done and how Gabbers embarrass THEIR kids.  Plus, we get details on some of the crazy post-op things Alyson went through. 

There's something special about sleep-away camps.  You act completely different than you would if you were with your family.  Then add in all the variables of being in the great outdoors.  It's a recipe for some great stories.  So grab your merit badges, pull up a camp chair, and listen as the Gab Gals retell all of your escapades at camp.  

First, we get a re-cap of Alyson's trip to Vegas.  Then The Gab Gals dive into your 4th of July stories.  Spoiler Alert:  Everyone is bad at fireworks.  And finally, Britt and Alyson weigh in on their summertime poll results. 

Most of us don't consider ourselves good spellers. Words are hard! Especially now that technology has enabled us.  But what happens when we're so far off that autocorrect can't even save us?  This week's episode may not help you spell better, but it will make you feel better about your own spelling mental blocks.  And even if you don't learn to spell, you will learn to never trust a big butt and smile. 

If you've ever gotten gotten into a pickle because you're a people pleaser, this episode is for you!  What the heck is wrong with all of us?  We just can't say no, so we end up in WILD situations.  Or we're so worried we'll hurt people's feelings that we end up suffering the most.  Listen for stories of times when Gabbers (and of course, the Gab Gals) people-pleased their way into a whole lot of trouble.  

Listen, we all have them.  Those little quirks that we know are annoying and cause ourselves (and/or the people around us) some trouble.  But for some reason they're part of our personality and not going anywhere anytime soon.  This week the Gab Gals admit theirs and read listener submissions about everyone's toxic traits. 

Got a secret.  Can you keep it?  Well, actually most of us can't.  It's too burdonsome to have a juicy secret weighing on us.  Or maybe we just blurt things out totally on accident.  In this week's episode,  the Gab Gals talk about times they've been burned and chime in on Gabbers' secret-slipping confessions.   

It's wedding season!  So it's only appropriate that we dedicate an entire episode to the subject.  But as it turns out, some crazy stuff goes down at these events.  Sometimes it's the little things that start the day off on the wrong foot.  Other times, there are problems of epic proportion!

The TV shows and movies that we used to watch were wild!  Some of them were problematic, others were just plain cringe.  This rings especially true if you were raised during the wild west of reality TV.  This week, listen for a trip down TV memory lane. It may unlock some core memories (or trauma).

Disclaimer:  There are a few mature themes on this week's episode.

If you've ever spent hours deep-diving something completely random online, this episode is for you.  We're all so curious we and want to get to the bottom of whatever thought crosses our minds in the middle of the night.  And since we have all the information we could ever want in the palm of our hands, we end up in some interesting places.  This week, Gabbers sent in the weirdest rabbit holes they've found themselves down.  

In honor of Mother's Day, this week's episode is all about our less-than-stellar motherhood moments.  We figure it will make us feel a little better about ourselves.  Plus, Gabbers can get some heavy guilt off thier chests. (there's nothing like mom-guilt, am I right?) So sit back and listen to some of people's most epic mom fails. 

Have you ever started a hobby and then it became you're whole personality?  Well you're not alone.  In fact, most of us are guilty of being a little too passionate about our passion.  It's just better if you own it, find your tribe and maybe start a club. 

The WEIRDEST things happen at the grocery store.  So natuarally, the Gab Gals had to dedicate an entire episode to them.  We're talking everything from the scary, the gross, the uncomfortable and the unfortunate things that happen while we shop for life's necessities.  

A lot of us are fresh off of Spring Break and that means you all have some stories!  But as it turns out, these days, we're less MTV and we're more TLC.  (complete with renditions of Bette Midler's, God is Watching us. Oddly enough, that song goes along with so many of these stories)

History can be fascinating! Especially when Gabbers send in their favorite historical nuggets that are weird, funny, and sometimes....problematic. Forget your boring high school history class, when the Gab Gals get involved, you'll be laughing and singing along with the Michael Jackson song from the Free Willy soundtrack.
