TRTea: Bestie Banter, Plus-One Problems & AI Cheating
In this bestie-only Real Thing episode, Natalie-Tasha and Libby let their personalities shine. From funny “girl crush” moments and inside jokes, to choreographed sister dances and dreams of being neighbors, the laughter is nonstop. They also open up about wedding planning, plus-one rules, and why guest lists can be trickier than they seem.
To top it off, the two react to some of Reddit’s wildest relationship stories — including an AI cheating scandal — and share their unfiltered takes on trust, boundaries, and what it really means to stay connected in love and friendship.
