On the series finale of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen discuss their top 10 moments from 2022. From travel (to weddings #shocker), to awards (Streamys, Signal Awards, and then something called the Oscars?), to starting this podcast (which, of course, is what’s nominated for the Oscar), this episode is full of laughs, tears, and some confusion about unicorn terrariums. Plus, Stevie FINALLY gets an answer to the bag mystery that has plagued BFBA for so many weeks. Farewell friends, and be sure to always tweet at us at #GayGrimsley.

Once upon a time, in a hypothetical world, Neagheen is living at the bottom of the ocean, eating McDonalds salads for every meal and enjoying a lifetime of happiness with…a goat. How did we get here you might ask? On this episode of BFBA, the duo plays “Would You Rather?”, and things (obviously) get weird. From being royalty 1,000 years ago, to being in a coma for a decade, to clogging toilets at parties, Stevie and Neagheen are here for it all.

On this episode of BFBA, celebrity fitness coach Phil Catudal (AKA Mike Trainer) joins the show to answer listener questions all about health and fitness (and Stevie’s questions about Sarah Shahi). From common fitness and nutrition misconceptions, to learning your body type (#nipplechafing), to if all steroids make your wee-wee smaller, Phil brings us to some wonderful conclusions: running is not necessary and the camera does indeed add 10 lbs. Plus, Neagheen successfully swerves a creep at the gym.

What are parents for if not to blame them for everything wrong with us? Especially if they left us alone at the library for hours when we were kids. We’re not being facetious here. In fact, we’ve brought scientific proof! On this episode of BFBA, Stevie breaks down some surprising things you may have inherited from your parents, and Neagheen gets her elementary school nostalgia on with some Boxcar Children and bowl cuts.

Can Stevie and Neagheen perfect their British, French and German accents in under an hour? Naur. But they are ready to join the next Essex reality show. On this episode of BFBA, Hollywood accent and dialect coach Jack Wallace joins the show to teach Stevie and Neagheen various accents, and breaks down exactly what he does as an accent coach in the industry. Plus, in true BFBA fashion, Stevie and Neagheen perform quite possibly the best remix you’ve ever heard to "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys.

Today, we’re LIVE at MythiCon! Ever accidentally leaked your own nudes? Or rather, didn’t even realize the photo you were posting was a nude? Yikes. On this episode of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen read listeners' submitted most embarrassing stories. And even though we only crowned one winner, aren’t we all winners when Stevie throws you a tampon in a perfect spiral? And Neagheen tosses you a (non-vintage!) pad? We’d say so. Plus, Stevie and Neagheen recap their MythiCon experience back at the studio.

1999 was a big year. The Bill Clinton impeachment trial happened. Palm pilots were all the rage. Neagheen was still stuffing water balloons in her bathing suit top. And little 12-year old Stevie made herself a time capsule to open on this very day, November 4th, 2022! On this episode of BFBA, to commemorate her 35th birthday, Stevie finally discovers what’s inside. We won’t spoil it, but let’s just say 12-year old Stevie would be shocked we still use pens in today’s world. The contents of this time capsule really leave us wondering: how different is 12 year-old Stevie from 35-year old Stevie? Not very, we suspect, based on her current pumpkin carving choices. But hey, at least she tamed her Annie obsession.

It’s almost Halloween! There’s nothing spookier then having the sex talk with children. You know, where sperm meets (room temperature) egg? Well, maybe floating adrift in outer space. Or drowning. Or LAX. On this episode of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen discuss the top things they’re afraid of. From what waiters can do to your food, to tight spaces (don’t worry, Stevie has no problem with this), to the depths of the ocean, Stevie and Neagheen dive deep into their (there? they’re?) psyches.

Well, strap on your modesty garments because today, we’re learning all about sex scene choreography! On this episode of BFBA, Intimacy Coordinator for TV & Film and CEO of @idcprofessionals Jessica Steinrock joins the show to break down exactly what she does as an intimacy coordinator.

Well, a lot happened over the break. Stevie’s now in the Illuminati (not really. or is she?), Neagheen may no longer be Stevie’s straightest friend after experiencing her first lesbian yearn, and there’s now TWO mysterious bags on the car in Stevie’s neighborhood. In the premiere episode of Season 3, Stevie and Neagheen discuss mysteries and conspiracies that they wish they knew the truth to! From the Illuminati, to prepubescent field trips to The Lost Colony, to Lea Michele’s reading abilities (conclusion: unclear), to our favorite theory of all: Gaylor Swift, Stevie and Neagheen take this prompt in some wild directions. Plus, Neagheen sees a familiar face at a certain type of institution (it’s a strip club).

Women in Iran are leading an unprecedented movement for human rights. Protests have broken out across the country following the death of 22-year old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the Islamic Republic’s morality police for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women. As a proud Iranian-American, Neagheen comes to BFBA to talk about what’s happening in Iran, why it’s so important, and how to show solidarity with the freedom fighters.
Woman. Life. Freedom. #mahsaamini #iranprotests
***
Two most important things each of us can do to support freedom fighters in Iran:
1) Keep coverage of their protests alive! Repost and reshare stories using the hashtags #MahsaAmini and #IranProtests.
2) Help Iranians bypass internet censorship by downloading the Snowflake extension. Read more here: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

If you could travel back or forward through time, what time periods would you choose to go to? Perhaps you’d choose to witness iconic historical moments like Neagheen? But, then again, why would you do that when you could just go hook up with secret gay celebrities? (I wonder who chose that). On the season finale of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen travel through time! From watching Cleopatra's skincare routine (and watching her bathe in goats milk?), to sweet suburbia of the 1950s, to eating peacock with elites, Stevie and Neagheen take their large crotches to many different eras, past and future. Plus, Neagheen goes window shopping with a black bear (we’ll just leave it at that).

On this episode of BFBA, actor Jason Segel joins the show to talk about his high school days. As a teenager, Jason was always that one kid. That one kid who was a star basketball player (also known as “Dr. Dunk”) who also happened to be a secret theater kid (and a puppeteer?). The Jewish kid at Christian school…and the Christian kid at Hebrew school. That one kid at his school who wasn’t going to college. But hey, it worked out, didn’t it? Jason breaks it all down with Stevie and Neagheen, including of course, his days on the cult classic TV show "Freaks and Geeks." Plus, on a totally unrelated note, Neagheen recounts accidentally telling her boss…”I love you.”

On this episode of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen take online quizzes! Have you ever left a party without analyzing everything that you said? Have you ever had an urgent need for stain remover? What’s worse than becoming rich and famous for something you did but hate? Are you more likely to get in a fight at Ikea or Trader Joe’s? Wait, “burgled” is a word? Through scary scenarios and a weird amount of questions about pasta, we discover that Stevie has indeed drunk toilet water, and Neagheen has a celesbian soulmate other than her neighbors who saved her from a dead rat in the garage. Plus, Neagheen discovers that her mom’s gynecologist listens to the podcast (unfortunately we don’t know if he’s fixed the lighting in his office).

If you think you need that 12-step skincare routine you saw on Tik Tok, you probably don’t. But what you do need, is to know what pimples taste like, and that’s why we’re here today! Just kidding (sort of). On this episode of BFBA, dermatologist Dr. Jenna Lester joins the show to answer listener questions all about the Magic School Bus of skin, or as Neagheen likes to call it, the body’s glove. From pimple popping, to bullsh*t skincare routines, to the importance of more broad representation of skin tones in dermatology, Dr. Jenna has all the answers (except to Stevie’s lotion theory). Plus, Stevie has an awkward experience (we know, shocking) in a public bathroom.

How did nachos come to be? Is Stevie’s obsession with D’Arcy Carden healthy? Does Neagheen really take her shoes off when she flies? Mamma Mia! The answers to these questions may surprise you. On this episode of BFBA, Stevie informs us on the surprising origins of American food staples and somehow manages to tie things back to good ole D’Arcy, and Neagheen presents her rules for how to not be an a**hole when you travel (if you’re an airplane clapper, you’re in luck). Plus, Stevie reads a love poem she wrote about D’Arc — just kidding, she just talks about grandparents with food on their faces.

What’s scarier? A horror movie or when you accidentally hit reply all on an email chain? Well, per our last conversation, it’s a close one. On today’s episode of BFBA, Stevie and Neagheen work through their feelings of fear and rage! After wrapping on filming a horror movie, Neagheen reveals she’s actually terrified of horror movies, and dives deep into society’s fascination with the genre, and Stevie returns to a topic she just may be more passionate about than Miss Honey’s cheekbones: email etiquette. Plus, Neagheen leaves behind a shi*ty surprise for a fellow bathroom patron.

Thinking of setting your dating profile picture to one of you with dead fish? Well, we have some advice for you: don’t! On this episode of BFBA, Logan Ury, dating expert and Director of Relationship Science at Hinge, joins the show to answer listener questions all about navigating the oh-so-confusing world of modern dating. From ditching your “type,” to avoiding being ghosted, to online stalking before a first date (at least ask your mom to use an incognito window), Logan has all the answers. Plus, Stevie breaks down the latest internet celesbian drama (um, have you seen the music video?), and the trio plays a round of Pet Peeve vs. Dealbreaker.

Do you know how many swirls there are on the poop emoji? Did Stevie castrate her Ken doll when she was a child? On today’s episode of BFBA, the duo talks all things emoji: the years-long approval process, usage and etiquette (do NOT send Stevie a smiley face), and Stevie brings a very special queer childhood presentation that makes us question - is she still into Miss Honey from the 1996 film “Matilda” (insert wink face emoji)? Plus, Neagheen discusses her unsuccessful attempt to get out of a speeding ticket.
