GabFest

We know you've all dabbled in DIY.  But often times, it's better to leave things to the professionals (if you can ever get them to call you back.)  This week our Gabbers submitted stories of when their home renovations went a little sideways.  

This week, the Gab Gals break down wacky headlines in the news. Ballet director, Marco, gets psycho analyzed and we learn about how much weirdness is going on in our National Parks.  One lesson we can all agree on, don't go out to sea with no experience and only a bottle of ketchup. 

You deal with your co-workers on the daily,  so things are bound to get weird now and then.  This week we tell your stories of co-workers. While most of the time we're giggling about other people's strange behavior, the Gab Gals also admit to times they were the perpetrators.   

Sometimes you don't know until you know.  It's the times when you are far too old  to have JUST learned something that it gets a little embarrassing.  Don't worry though; in true GabFest form, the Gab Gals reveal the things they didn't know for far too long.  So listen, laugh, and maybe even learn a thing or two.

Just in time to make sure you don't make any of these mistakes this holiday season.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who are these rando’s,” this episode has the answers. Gabbers asked questions and the Gab Gals get personal. Get to know the gals, Alyson and Britt.

Hormonal tweens hopped on caffeine and pulling an all-nighter... What could possibly go wrong?  The Gab Gals weigh in on a Millenial right of passage- sleepovers!

Believe them or not, Gabbers share their favorite conspiracy theories. Also, the Gab Gals got themselves a little spooked by diving too deep on one conspiracy theory.  You'll hear their reactions in the bloopers.

Mishaps on stage, in front of a large number of people, are never NOT funny.  But as they say, "The show must go on!"

So get ready to relive your quirky, childhood memories… PS that’s the sound of freedom you’re hearing in the background. The fighter jets would not take a rest all afternoon 😅

Well it turns out the Gab Gals lose their temper a lot.  But luckily several of our Gabbers were willing to share about time when they hit their boiling points, as well.  No judgement.  We all have times when we lose it and just see red.

The Gab Gals may be pretty far removed from the dating world, but not as far removed as these people are from reality. This week, they analyze online dating profiles.  Some people are a little too straight-forward, while others leave a lot open to interpretation.  

Look, we all knew this day would come.  Luckily the Gab Gals have skipped on the descriptions and focused on the outrageous situations you all get yourselves into.  Listen in for a good laugh about things that happen to all of us cuz EVERYONE POOPS!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  Heavy on the "worst."  But it seems like all of you want to hear all about those formative years and share lots of your own stories, as well.  So we've got a super sized episode just for you!

Zoom calls, Facetime, and Marco Polo have all become "the new normal" -- but not without a few missteps along the way.  When the unthinkable happens in front of the whole company, things can only go up from there.

Tis' the season!  We are kicking off our favorite month of the year gabbing about all things Christmas! Today we are covering the best and the worst of holiday traditions, Christmas music and everything in between.  We HO HO hope this officially puts you in the holiday spirit.

Happy Thanksgiving Gabbers!  This week, we wanted to soak in extra time with our families for Thanksgiving but (of course) we couldn’t totally leave you hanging! We decided to share some of the things you told us you are thankful for and some things you said you are...less than thankful for.  Of course, our own opinions will be right there with yours!  

Tis the season to eat and give thanks! There’s always room for seconds and, of course, for awkward moments. We are so thankful for all our Gabbers and we are thankful for all your submissions of wild and hilarious Thanksgivings. We hope listening will get you in the mood for turkey, pie, and all the holiday mayhem!

Disclaimer: We discuss OBGYN appointments. Visiting the doctor is a necessary evil for everyone, so we're bound to have a mishap or two.  Listen in for uncomfortable gynecologist visits, weirdness in labor and delivery, and distress at the dentist.

We bet you are having a better day than any of these people!  There is nothing worse than wrecking something that doesn't belong to you. And, why oh why, does everyone use the toilet as the great escape?

We knew you needed another dose of not-so- scary stories.  Plus, we've got some unsolved mysteries that still haunt us to this day! Should we change our intro to "mostly our stories and some of yours?" You tell us!

We all love a good scary story around Halloween (as long as it’s not actually happening to us). This week, we are putting a spooky spin on our listener’s stories but don't panic-  you'll be pleasantly surprised by the end of each one.

As we gear up for Halloween, join the Gab Gals as they share some of their favorite memories, along with wacky listener stories.  They talk decorations, haunted houses, trick or treating and attempting sexy costumes!

Movies shaped us as kids. Did they shape us into trauma bonding 30-somethings? Yeah that, too. So join us as we remember the movies that made us all scared of  a killer shark in the bathtub- no matter how irrational. 

Wanna go out again? The Gab Gals will say "yes" to a second date with this topic any day. Misadventures in romance are one of our favorite things to talk about and we know you can't get enough either. 

You're just a child yourself, but somehow, people have put you in charge other children's lives.  What could go wrong? Just please bless they'll have good snacks!

Nothing beats a good night's sleep unless, of course, that sleep involves naked adventures and unknown online purchases. Things are about to get pretty wild as we discuss the ever-so-entertaining subject of sleep walking and talking.

We're ba-ack!  And we're here to deliver even more embarrassing stories just in case you didn't get enough last week.  So try to get your embarrassment-via-proxy under control as you listen to these tragically funny tales.  One thing is for sure, this won't be the last installment. 

Who else loves to dish about embarrassing moments? Well, Gabfest listeners sure do! And you KNOW the Gab Gals have several of their own to re-live.  Pull out the popcorn and get ready to be really glad this wasn't you.

Back to school means back to crazy stories!  You all are in good company because the Gab Gals have several of their own to share. So pack up your backpacks, sharpen your number 2 pencils and let’s gab!

Summer might be coming to an end but we are not ready to stop with the Summer stories. Between water parks, beaches, pools, carnivals and more you won't believe some of these crazy and awkward experiences during everyone’s favorite season.

Trends you love and trends you love to hate! Whether you're living in the past or living for every new thing, you better believe the Gab Gals have something to say about it!

People coming on too strong, laying it on thick, level 5 clingers. No matter what you do, be weary of bearing your soul in song form.

Are we all Karens?  Yes.  Can we own it and still make fun of them? Also, yes.

There are some weird people in this world.  Spoiler alert, they're gonna be your roommates.  Not to worry, sit back and commiserate along with us because everyone has had a crazy roommate or two!

Family reunions, get-togethers, anytime you’re with family- stuff goes down!

You know what's better than camping? Listening to Gabfest and not going camping! Indoorsy people unite! Listen and commiserate with these stories of time spent in the great outdoors.

Have a great holiday! We’ll gab with you next week!

Texts and emails make things a whole lots easier on us except… when they don’t. We are sharing some super funny stories that are next level of wrong recipients, auto-correct gone bad and more!

Somethings you just don't know about your spouse until you have to live with them on a daily basis. Quirks, habits, and misunderstandings can make for some pretty good stories!

Disclaimer: Body part names are said.  Back by popular demand!  We all can't get enough of wardrobe mishap stories.  And it's always fun to commiserate your embarrassing moments. However, when you are are on the receiving end of an incident, it can leave you feeling- a little weird!

It's the best day of your life, right? Well, more often than not, it's a total circus- so sit back and listen to these wild wedding stories.  It can only go up from here... or at least we hope so.

Whether it's a birthday, Valentines Day, or anniversary, our expectations can let us down big time! Not to mention the “kind gestures” that are completely out of line to begin with.

You got this, go get some caffeine! Mom life ain’t easy and you do what you’ve got to do to survive. We are dishing genius mom hacks and those all too cringe worthy mom shaming moments. *disclaimer: some spoilers are discussed so be advised with younger listeners.*

What's that supposed to mean?  If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all! We're sharing cringe worthy, backhanded compliments that you have to hear to believe. If you have to add a "but" right after the compliment, it's best to just stop talking.

This was not in the job description! Whether you run into disgruntled customers or you have to deal with weird substances, every job has occupational hazards. At least we can laugh about this stuff later, right?

Your loss is our gain, literally. Moving that body makes for some unpredictable situations and well, we are here to tell them.

It's all fun and games, til someone gets hurt.  Then it's hilarious! Most of the time, pranks don’t go as planned but, as we always say, at least there’s a good story to tell.

Pack up that bag and head out on the open road with us as we chat about road trips gone awry, awkward language barriers and, of course, encounters with a nut job or two. Let’s just say, vacationing isn’t always what you expect it to be.

Whether it’s speech impediments gone wrong or the complete disregard for filtering their thoughts; kids really do say the darndest things and well... we are here for it! Disclaimer:  These stories use a lot of anatomically correct words! (and luckily we've learned techniques as gymnastics teachers to cut down on classroom chitchat- however, we sometimes do miss the crazy comments from our early years of teaching!)

It's not me, it's you! We will be talking about dating disasters, being captured by creeps, and escapades with entertainers!

Hang onto your pants! Wardrobe malfunctions, costume mishaps, swimsuit slip-ups, and so much more are a part of this week's episode.
