This title was inspired by the last episode Carley and I recorded together: Love Letters with Lorraine. Earlier this year, I asked our guests and listeners to send in a “letter” to Carley in the form of a voice message.
Took me a bit to finish this episode because sometimes these messages are too much, and sometimes they’re so helpful and make me really happy ya know?
It was really cathartic to listen to these - thanks so much for sending in your letters to all who did 🫶🏼
If you'd like to send in one for part 2, email a voice memo to [email protected].

Today, we share “The Interruptus.” I sat down at my mic (after weeping to the Season 4 finale of One Tree Hill) and verbally processed what losing Carley has been like. Carley’s brother Grant, our audio engineer, also shares what this show has meant to him. You’ll also hear my eulogy at the end.
I decided to place the entirety of my friend Kevin Kelly’s song “Soon” to open it, as it’s meant so much to recently. I think it sounds like Carley talking right to me, talking to us.
I’m learning loss doesn’t get any easier — you don’t get used it. It just becomes more a part of who you are.
***I definitely want to place trigger warning on this episode — it’s raw and you might be want to be somewhere private when you listen.
Love you Carley. I know I’ll be seeing ya soon.
-Monica

Our prodigal son returns! Or something like that...but Kevin T. Porter (@kevintporter) is back Y'ALL!

Unfettered, untethered, unsupervised...crack open a cold one and head to New York with Carley, Monica...oh and Jason and Tim. This week packs it in with a series-wrap on Scott Porter, a runaway Cashanova and Tyra, some more Property Brothers, and most importantly the return of Tim’s denim jacket. Don’t miss the silliness (and also the surprising amount of tears).

We are Keeping Up Appearances this week with Todd Buonopane (say it five times fast)! He’s a Broadway actor, cabaret singer and TV actor: Grey’s Anatomy, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but most importantly THE Jeffrey Weinerslav from 30 Rock. We geek out on musical theatre, concerning Sims habits, the specific hotness of an earnest and responsible Billy Riggins and more. A filler of an episode but 10/10 commentary. Enjoy!
We also give a health update for y’all at the top of this episode. We are frustrated and grieving this new obstacle but we’re keeping our eyes clear 💙 Thank you all for being here and along this ride with us! Follow along @txforeverpod

We were also given an unforgettably uncensored tour of Dillon from Tim (Toby) Riggins.
Join us this week as we gab on everything from JFK, to out of control bats, to gypsies, and whether or not people wipe before or after they scroll through Instagram on the toilet (or while writing us reviews) ;) Enjoy!

No babysitters, no chaperones, no boys allowed, it’s just your two favorite gals this week! This week Tami takes the high road in her role as principal, Coach gets Smash his big shot, Matt revisits his mommy problems, and a handsome Cowboy Cash-a-nova strides into town. We also go to the rodeo and Landry gets his wisdom teeth removed...listen in to hear Monica and Carley’s wisdom teeth stories, some upsetting Dallas Buyers Club experiences, and weep with us as we say goodbye to Gaius Charles (Brian “Smash” Williams).
