We know you're not expecting to cry over a cockroach today, but… here we are. In this delightfully derailed episode, we sit down to talk about unexpected emotional attachments. Specifically, Liz’s bathroom buddy: a cockroach she formed a legit friendship with. (And before you judge—just listen, okay? He had vibes.) But then—cue the dramatic Law & Order music—Liz’s husband Adam enters the scene, unknowingly commits insecticide… and suddenly finds himself on trial. A fake trial, obviously. (Or was it? ) From there, things spiral gloriously off the map, and we end up talking about fruit flies, baby quails, guilt, grief, and the weird little ways we connect with the natural world—especially when no one else is looking.  Takeaways (because we’re thoughtful like that): • Adam is now on emotional parole. • Ashlee has deep feelings about quails and their little leggies. • Fruit flies may or may not have gotten Adam through law school. • Humor helps us deal with life, death, and bug funerals. • You can emotionally bond with a cockroach. Liz did. We’re all learning here. • Nature’s weird, and so are we—but maybe that’s the point. So if you’ve ever had a secret connection with a spider, a pet rock, or a squirrel that stares at you too long—this one’s for you.  Come laugh, cry, and maybe whisper an apology to the spider in your shower. It’s okay. You’re safe here.
