We break down the idea of an annual "Girls Dinner" (specifically built around the question "What the hell are we doing with our lives?"), where you and your closest friends put your phones away and answer things like what you want more of, what you're tolerating that needs to change, and what you'd go after if you knew every woman in the room had your back.

Then we shift into 6 rules for avoiding cringe behavior, from speakerphone use in public to scrolling through someone's photos without asking.

We also share our feelings of the day and get into whether it's too soon to buy a "Golden Girls" style house with your best friend decades before you're actually that age. We also ask a question that doesn't come up enough: do you ever lie about your occupation? For example, would you lie about being a therapist to a stranger on a plane just to avoid unpacking their childhood trauma on vacation?

Oh, and we watched the documentary "A Toxic Love Story" and we have thoughts.

PART 1 of 4: Are you feeling stuck or battling self-doubt? Do you want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts? If yes and yes, then "Acting As If" is for you! Amy Brown & Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington designed this 4-part series to help you shift your thoughts, so that “Acting As If” becomes possible for your brain to adopt. In each episode, you get effective strategies to break free from the grip of negativity & gain insights on nurturing an "emotionally healthy" brain.

In PART 1 you learn:

- Why "Acting As If" is not a matter of positive affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make it.
- Rewiring your brain for peace in the chaos
- Distinguishing the data vs the drama of your situation
- How to give yourself your own "reality check" to stop the downward spiral of thoughts in your brain.

We can all struggle with downward spiraling thoughts:

"Why did I eat that?"
"Why didn't he call me?"
"Why can't I stop that?"
"Does that make me a bad mom?"
"Why should I bother? Is this just how it will always be?"

Things like "fake it ‘til you make it" + turning everything “into a positive" will NOT outsmart your brain...and there’s a reason why.

Bobby answered a listener's question about why our podcast only goes back to 2013 if we've been doing it for 20 years. Bobby shared why he will never get into politics. We go on a trip down memory lane on the early days of the show and Bobby being a podcasting pioneer. Lunchbox said he got to the bottom of why he is not going to Las Vegas by calling our boss. He shares whether or not he was actually fired. Amy shared her weekend plans of going thrifting this weekend and how she'd like to replace a priceless item of hers that was stolen years ago.

Bobby goes In The Weeds on his coyote problem after one attacked his dog Eller, and why he’s trying to relocate them instead of having them killed. He also shares the chance lobby conversation at Disney that led to him landing American Idol, even though he was only supposed to do one episode and ended up staying for years. Plus, Bobby talks about trying to turn Giving Tuesday into something positive, the backlash that came with it, and the wild radio prank that got him called into the office, accused of committing a federal crime, and somehow helped lead to his next big break.

Bobby talked about Tom Brady getting heat for holding his nose when jumping into a body of water. We now question Bobby's masculinity after he reveals something he didn't think was embarrassing to him. We might owe Lunchbox an apology because he might be suffering from a new disease. In Easy Trivia, Eddie is the first one on the board so we're hoping someone can slow him down early this season!

Ray found out someone from his past is now listening to the podcast and now he's nervous to talk about certain things with them listening. Lunchbox is confused on why the dentist, the doctors, and other offices make you fill out the same information multiple times after they have all of our information already. Plus Ray had to run to BAE when some 13 year old kids were walking through his yard and BAE took care of business. Also Lunchbox and Ray saw a smoke show on Broadway and we fill our listeners in on where she ended up in life.

Bobby, Eddie and Brandon draft the best country songs that successfully crossed into the pop world. From Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash to Taylor Swift, Shania Twain and Chris Stapleton, each of them builds a five-song lineup filled with massive hits that reached far beyond country radio. Along the way, Bobby shares a story from his early days in Nashville, the guys challenge a few questionable picks, and the debate gets competitive as they make their case for the strongest draft.
