Talia and Alexis cover all your q’s and explain why it’s time to say farewell (don’t worry, they’re still best friends IRL), before giving their weekly life update, one last time.

Over Coachella, Revolve’s Sh*tshow Festival, & Leave Rihanna Alone
Tuning in live from sunny Los Angeles, Talia and Alexis start this week’s ep with a debrief of life on the west coast. Is LA really a shitty heaven and NYC a fun hell? They weigh the pros and cons. Then onto the Vibe Check: Coachella. Talia tapped out of the famed festival this year, but Alexis was there for the full experience—and hated it. Alexis shares what it’s actually like being there (yes, she gives all the deets about Revolve Fest, AKA the new Fyre Festival), and she and Talia get into how Coachella’s become pretty cheugy. Then onto a voicemail about not liking your brother’s GF—don’t worry, Talia and Alexis help problem-solve. They wrap up with a Roast It or Toast It about the *totally fake* Rihanna and A$AP cheating rumor. Can’t pregnant celebs just get a break?
Think of Jordana and Dr. Naomi as your BFF and your therapist, sitting side-by-side at the brunch table trying to help you get through your problems. Because sometimes we really need advice from people with no skin in the game. And let’s face it, your friends can’t stand to hear that story one more time.
