Hi gorgeous girls! It’s been awhile since we caught up and so much has happened. What’s new with us? Well, LA burned down, TikTok was banned for about 5 seconds, both of us are engaged, but also not. What else? Oh, and we’re getting a divorce.
HAPPY NEW YEAR DIVA DIVA DIVAS! Can someone please tell us what 2024 was? Actually don’t answer that question. This week’s episode is a full Q&A dedicated to the girls who need answers or have a story that gives Hot and Bothered vibes. Chris and Cedar are giving new year, same horrible, unexplainable advice — duh! If you’re still sulking in 2024 energy please eat a banana and go sit in the sun (or tanning bed). 2025 is going to be HOT xx
HOLIDAY EPISODE INCOMING! Cedar and Chris are stocking up on men and Birkins this holiday season and suggest you do the same! The duo reveal their holiday plans and immediately spiral while debating driving home versus flying. Carpooling? Not an option, ever. Chris reflects on his 2024, obviously is a grateful queen and has to brag about his “accomplishments”. A Christmas Miracle has happened to Cedar. In love with men — the ENTIRE population of men? What is going on? 2025 is going to be insane… Happy Holidays xx
Hi Divas! This week the two share their hot takes on Hollywood’s newest and hottest star: Luigi Mangione. Chris has a slight breakdown about his career journey while reflecting on 2024 and comparing himself to the people around him. Why is social climbing so hard?Cedar talks about her fear of possibly losing her independence while being wrapped up in a relationship — I think this has all happened to us once… or twice before. Are the two delusional? Are they girl bosses? Are they working harder not smarter? Are they afraid of love? They need answers and new therapists. x
On this week’s episode, Cedar and Chris spiral as they have the fleeting thought: “What if our exes had a podcast?” Would they listen? They also discuss a recurring phenomenon: Why does the ex-fling always manage to ruin a good manic episode? And how the “genuine” concern never feels genuine. Cedar talks about dick pics — solicited vs unsolicited. Bonus points if you can get creative! Chris gets into the semantics of IG followers while Cedar reveals her detective skills. Has anyone ever tried bath salts? X
This week’s episode is full of surprises. Cedar shares her experience meeting with a psychic who gives her a ton of information she was not expecting. The revelations she experienced may have affected her sexual identity… Is she coming out? A phase? What’s going on here? Chris also comes out this episode, but as a feminist (Cedar has never been more proud). The two ramble about compliments — when is too much too much? And of course there is some “gaslighting” sprinkled in the mix. As you know, do NOT take anything they say seriously x
This week Cedar and Chris talk about their anxieties around the holidays: counting calories at Thanksgiving dinner, the familial guilt that heightens at this time of year, and all that fun stuff. They also touch on the misery of not only experiencing Black Friday, but working it… horrible. Chris and Cedar dive into how important it is to have alone time with your friends when you can be so seemingly wrapped up in a relationship. We all need alone time, and your friends need alone time WITHOUT your boyfriend there — I think we can all agree. The latter half of this ep features a quick Q&A from the gorgeous girlies who need their gorgeous questions answered. Enjoy x
Cedar and Chris open this week’s episode with a once in a lifetime, duet performance that will leave you sick to your stomach! But don’t worry, they quickly get right back on track as Cedar continues to profess her love for her one and only while Chris attempts to explain that inexplainable connection we are all lusting for. The co-hosts do a deep dive on “love” and drunkenly try to reassure themselves that they have cracked the code on how to determine if the feeling is healthy… or if it’s just a feeling. Other topics include: lingering, unwanted sleepovers, and a couple more delusional bits to add to their rulebook.
This week, Chris and Cedar air their grievances with the most recent presidential election. A short and sweet episode to talk through some of the feelings *most* of us are experiencing regarding the outcome, and wrapping it up with some of the most unserious banter possible provided by Chris Bruno himself.
Happy Election Day! Get out and vote, but remember that no one should tell you what to do with your body… interpret that how you wish. This week, Cedar reminds everyone to be mindful of the fact that when choosing your next boyfriend, you’re also choosing him for everyone else in your life. Chris deep dives on douching —because some self-care routines cross all relationship lines. Join us for another episode of manic chaos! x
Happy ALMOST Halloween! Who’s ghosting someone this week? Chris has now learned the true definition of imposter syndrome and is obsessed with his latest self-diagnosis. Cedar applauds herself for not hating her exes new girlfriend, simply for the fact that she is her exes new girlfriend. And of course it wouldn’t be a true H&B episode without talks of Adderall, mushrooms, and delusional revelations.
Happy Tuesday! Cedar and Chris are back with some more Q&A — answering submissions and giving advice absolutely no one will take. Chris talks about how much respect bottoms deserve and touches on how small the gay community can be in a large city. Cedar reassures everyone that they should, in fact, believe EVERYTHING they hear on the internet.
This week Cedar spills the tea on how one of her exes played her and another girl at the same time. But don’t worry, the girls obviously got their revenge. Chris vents about territorial friends and encourages everyone to not be weird. Other ADHD topics touch on “The Big One” and the two reveal their latest celebrity crushes.
Wow, what a week… Catch up with your two besties discussing LA’s hottest social clubs, jealous lovers, service industry careers and much more. Chris talks about God knows what and fails to give any substantial information to prove his horribly thought out topic. Cedar is, for some reason, blacked out and attempts to discuss navigating how to deal with grief. Enjoy, yet another, emotional rollercoaster for your listening pleasure!
In this episode, we’re labeling ourselves the official “Western Medicine Fan Club” and, honestly, we’re not sorry about it. Chris and Cedar talk about all the things that make adulthood... a lot. We’re obsessed with our friends, but also super overwhelmed by all the adult responsibilities that come with life. From squatters (yes, we’re going there) to our love of pills (Adderall, anyone?) and the joys of modern medicine, it’s a wild ride. So grab a drink, pop a vitamin, and join us for some unfiltered realness.
This week we do another Q&A – spilling your tea, not ours. Listeners reached out with cringy sex stories, situationship drama, falling in love with a best friend, overprotective partners, navigating ‘friendships’ and being in love with an ex. Some bad advice and some mediocre – Chris and Cedar share their strong opinions and personal perspectives on YOUR tea.
This week Cedar and Chris decided to pick up the mics after a long, boozy dinner. But please rest assured that this typically results in amplified chaotic thoughts and even more unpopular opinions. Cedar opens up about her struggles and victories with OCD and Chris comes to terms with the fact that he will probably be single for eternity.
DISCLAIMER: No amount of disclaimers can justify anything that was said during this episode. Cedar talks about people’s use of inappropriate slurs while Chris attempts to justify his detest for people who “gossip”. In true H&B fashion, the episode turns into nothing but an ironic, shit talking, tea session.
Hi divas! This week Cedar and Chris are switching things up a bit (thank God!) by answering a few more questions from their lovely and dedicated audience while providing nothing short of absolutely terrible advice. Cedar tells us about her eat, pray, love camping excursion paired with her medical anxieties. Chris lets everyone know that he has been a victim of men underwear shaming him. Enjoy!
The cockroaches are out and they’re taking out a second mortgage to go to the gym and strictly dating men that buy them Louboutins and Chanel bags. Stock up on your Orange Guard.
