Lainey Gossip Sasha Answers

We start this week's podcast like most days and that's with a COVID rant. This time around though, I share my personal adventure on getting tested. As you can imagine, this was not ideal for me. In fact, going to get a COVID test was and is the riskiest thing I've done since lockdown. (Lainey: also, the story builds to something… hang in there for the payoff.) Enough about me, it's time for YOUR drama!  Our first letter is from “Taylor” who is so over hearing about the toxic ins and outs of her friend “Selena” and her relationship with “Justin”. Yes, this might as well be a letter from Taylor Swift about Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber.Then, we get to “R”. He writes in because he wants to make sure he's reading his current friendship situation right. I'm sure a lot of us have all been in R's position so if you have any good advice for him let me know and I'll pass it along.Finally we end on “M” who wants to know if going braless to pick up her kids is a societal no-no. Which of course leads to L

This week Lainey continues on her "things are normal, right?" rant. She does this weird thing where she declares she's going to do something, this week it's going to the gym, and then somehow turns it on me that it's my fault she can't do it because of COVID. Once we deal with that compulsion it's time to get into your drama.Remember "driving for dick"? Well, she's back again with a follow up on top of a follow up. I won't lie, I was so exhausted after hearing her letter, but Gertrude is definitely dickmatized and we need her to snap the hell out of it.  Then it's onto L who is feeling stuck about what to do when it comes to her friend's upcoming birthday party. It sounds like a banger, but she doesn't know if it's worth the COVID risk.Finally, we end on Emily who has recently started dating an older man who hasn't officially divorced from his ex. Does that mean he's still hanging on? Is that a red flag? Should she bother putting in any more energy? Our answer might surprise you.We hope you enj

Welcome back to What's Your Drama. Before we dig into your dirt we talk about the sexiest accessory of our time: the COVID mask. Oh and at some point we also get off focus and talk about BLACKPINK because these days they are the only light at the end of the tunnel.Then it's time for YOUR drama!Our first letter comes from "Marissa". Marissa is single with no kids which automatically makes her feel left out from her friend group who yup, you guessed it, are all married with kids. Does she have to find a new group of girlfriends or should she keep on reminding them she wants to be included in the fun?Next, "Julie" writes in about the new guy she's dating. They started during the pandemic and they are sorta stuck with each other and while Julie is down, she's getting the feeling that her COVID-BF is using her as a distraction.Finally, our last writer is moving to Germany and is getting worried about how she'll meet new friends when you know, once again, the damn global pandemic. We try to get her pumped for the b

Welcome back to What's Your Drama! We kick off this episode with unpacking audio as Lainey is only shopping for star-print clothing these days. We are also talking about blood baths AKA our periods. Come on, we haven't talked about our periods in at least two podcasts so let us have this.  Then we dive into your drama!First up, “Juliet” writes in about some friendship woes but it's her heartbreaking backstory that Lainey and I concentrate on. As I mention in the podcast, the letter is fairly lengthy but it's important to listen through it all.Then we get into even more friend drama. “JB” is miffed at her best friend's husband who during a pandemic, locked in with his wife, decided to drop a bomb: he wants an open marriage. Look, it's not ideal timing, but does “JB” have a reason to hold a grudge?Finally, we end on “V”. V is a vegan from Vancouver and she's all kinds of irritated about someone bringing their own food into her home. And yup, you guessed it, the food was not plant-based.  We

Welcome back to What's Your Drama. Before we dip into the latest drama we got an update from last week's "Driving for D" . And not just an update but… like… photo evidence.  Then it's time to get into your questions!  Our first letter writer "T" is having a hard time stuck at home with her partner "Kevin". The problem is he won't STFU so we try to find nice ways for her to shut her man's pie hole.  Then, Ronnie writes in wondering if dropping her past divorce bomb will ruin the mood of the new guy she's dating. Finally, we end on another bit of quarantine drama. This time around "Angie" is stuck with "Mario" who is not taking COVID seriously at all. Is this a bigger indication of the type of person he is and if so, should she call it quits?  We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

Welcome back to What's Your Drama. Today we start things off a bit differently. With all that is going on with the Black Lives Matter uprising and the collective fight to end anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, it's time to start calling ourselves out for sh-tty behavior. We hope that this isn't triggering for anyone (feel free to skip it) but Lainey and I share how we've dropped the ball on allyship.Then we get into your questions!Our first writer has been supporting their parents with monthly payments but they want more and are literally not taking NO for an answer. But maybe just saying the word "NO" isn't good enough....Next, "Empathy" has a serious drama on her hands. Her brother is dealing with a creepin' wife. The thing is though her brother doesn't know she knows.Finally, how far is too far to get some dick during a pandemic? Pretty sure you can guess my answer and OF COURSE, you'll know what Lainey's vote is.We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA! Send your advice quest

Welcome back to What's Your Drama. I'd explain what today's opening discussion is about but… it’s x-rated. Spoiler alert: Lainey’s body parts in shorts. Then it's time to get to your drama and this was a fun week of questions!Our first letter writer is stuck in quarantine and thinking about her summer crush. Should she reach out even though they haven't been in touch for a year? SPOILER ALERT: YES!!!!!!Then we move onto Lia who is having a hard time making friends at work, especially with a particular girl group. She wants to know how to get in there without sacrificing who she is.  Finally, we end on Karen. All I have to say is that Karen writes in and asks a VERY Karen question. Stay for the question in its entirety because if you've never experienced a Karen in your life, then you'll get to know a Karen through this one.We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

Welcome Back! Before we dive in we need to talk about Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas’s matching half-heart necklaces. Is it cute? Is it corny? Is it okay to be both? Then it’s time to get into you drama!Our first writer has come to a turning point in her life when it comes to her career. As a frontline worker this pandemic has pushed her past her breaking point. Is she a sh-t person for turning her back on such a meaningful, selfless career? Lainey and I dig deep on this.Next, is sharing a bank account with your ex a good idea? All I’ll say is Lainey gets very Tiger Mom.Finally, our last letter writer is majorly annoyed at her friend who keeps jacking her steez. Like, we’re not talking the same pair of jeans here and there. We’re talking about copying her life down to the SKU on furniture. We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA! Send your advice questions my way at sasha@laineygossip.com.

Welcome back! Before we jump into YOUR drama Lainey would like to drag me back into her favorite topic: Korean bands. Thankfully, we are not talking about BTS this time.  Our first letter writer is trying to heal the wounds of a recent breakup and being cooped up solo during COVID-19 is not making things any easier. So like, should she, you know, just check up on her ex to, you know, see how he's doing? I think you know what our answer is to that. Next, what's it like to be stuck living with your ex during the pandemic? Ooooof. Not good. This one has a lot of backstory, but it's necessary to get the whole picture. And finally, how do you kick your cheap-ass flaky family member out of future plans? I thought this would be an easy solve, but family drama is always so damn complicated. We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

Welcome back! I'm happy to announce that our audio issue from last week has been resolved, so now you can hear all our unprofessional advice giving loud and clear.Our first drama is some savagery. Let's say she has a particular "type" of guy she's interested in and this guy she's with isn't cutting it. Should she give it a go even if it's not her thing?Then it's onto our next letter-writer who is having trouble dealing with some past triggers during quarantine. Take a listen and if you have any advice for "C" and I'll happily pass it along to her.Finally, we end on a scenario that will definitely be going into Lainey's spank bank. Our writer is VERY into her ex's VERY HOT brother. Should she go for it? Ummmm obviously you know our answer. We are that shallow. We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

Welcome back! Today we have yet another update for you. This time it's from the hot-ass long distance love affair that we talked about on last week's podcast (link). We have a slight change in our advice, but that's mostly because as you know, we are highly unqualified advice givers and were obviously swayed by the fact that this dude might actually be hotter than Charlie Hunnam. Then it's time to get into some NEW drama! And apologies for this week’s audio. We needed to use the ‘b’ track because of some internet audio issues and, well, it’s not great and we hope you keep listening anyway and bear with it – we are trying to fix the situation so that it’ll be improved next week.  Anyway, our first letter is from someone who has met a real solid guy butttttt here's the thing....the guy she's dating sucks in the sack. Lainey and I debate if she should give him a Hail Mary with another go. Then it's on to some friend drama. What do you do when you find out that your best friend has been holding on

Today we give you a gift. The gift (or torture) of Lainey's singing voice. I don't think she knows we included this in the podcast (Lainey: I do, and if you can laugh at me in this time of uncertainty, please, I will have done something) but rules don't matter anymore. Enjoy. You're welcome in advance. Then it's time for your drama. Our first writer has fallen head over heels for a Charlie Hunnam lookalike. I'd tell you more about this situation, but is it really important if the dude looks like CHARLIE HUNNAM??!?!?!Next, how do you confront your friend from excluding you from her bridal party? Is there a point in having a discussion about your feelings or do you just let it be?Our final question comes from a frontline worker who is tapped to all hell and on top of that has to come home to a sh-t stain of a roommate. We give her some advice on how to deal with her stresses.We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA! Send your advice questions my way at sasha@laineygossip.com. We also l

We have a writer update, I repeat we have an update on Romeo and Juliet from last week! But before we get into that we talk about how this COVID-19 crisis is really drying up the ol' lady bits. Then it's time for YOUR drama!First up, how do you deal with your pandemic friends who spout coronavirus conspiracy theories? Can you tell them to straight up shut their traps or is there a better way to duck dive their drivel?Then it's onto our next writer who is torn about telling her ex some really personal information.  Finally, we end on someone who is trying to decide on how to make her BFF her BF. Because Lainey and I are pervs, all we of course zero in on is if they've got any f-ck chemistry.  We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

Last week you heard about Lainey's riveting thermometer story and today, well, you get to hear about my Q-tips. You're welcome.Okay, but it's all about your DRAMA and our first writer is stuck with what to do with her daughter who doesn't want to obey the rules of physical distancing. Why? Because she's 22 and in love. Lainey had to eventually take the lead on this because I was too angry.Next, we try to help a guy named Steve who can't figure out what he's doing wrong in his work group chat. He's trying to crack all the jokes but people aren't biting. I LOVE this letter so if you have any advice for Steve after listening, fire away and we can pass them on.Finally, what do you do when all you want to do is share information with your friend but they don’t care? In fact, she not only doesn't care but she makes fun of you. Lainey and I rip this one off like a bandaid.  We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

These last few weeks have been quite the mind f-ck and before we get into your drama Lainey and I check in on our mental health during this fairly stressful time. Every cough, sore throat has kept us very paranoid. You too? Then we dive on into our first letter! Our writer is having trouble figuring out how to confront her colleague for constantly making offside comments. Should she handle it on her own or go straight to HR?  Next, in these times of physical/social distancing, do your friends show their true colors when they don't obey the rules? Is it fair to de-friend them over their negligence? Pretty sure you can guess what our answer is to that....Finally, our last writer doesn't know how to keep the peace with her ex-friend amongst their mutual friend group. Can everyone just get along or does someone have to bow out?We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

Technical note before we get into things. The audio is a little less than perfect now that Lainey and I will be social distance podcasting, but we have one little tweak to make it better for next time so don't lose your balls - we are working on it. Please see attached this high tech set up we've got going on. With that said though, there's still enough drama to go around!First up, how do you Instagram block someone who is no longer your friend? Is there a time limit to when you can do that and is there ever even a damn point?Our next letter is a doozie. Our writer wants to know how to ignore a friend after her friend abandoned a dog. I repeat ABANDONED a dog. Finally, we end on yet another friend drama. How do you stop your good friend from always talking about her work? Which leads me to ask you to vote on something. What's worse: Someone telling you about their dreams or someone telling you about all their work details? We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA, especially dur

Listen, sh-t is cray right now and this virus is nothing to f-ck around with so before Lainey and I dip into your questions we and by "we" I really mean "I" let you into my anxiety spiral. Lainey might call me a germaphobe paranoid freak, but Jacek had to cover his face with his shirt to adjust my microphone after I said I was feeling remotely stuffy.Ummmmkayyyy. I am not the only one.  Then we switch the mood and get right into our first question which is about our favorite topic: dick pics. Do you have to like them? Spoiler alert: the answer is no.Next, should you let go of a friendship when you know that said friend is actually in love with you? Is there any good way to carry on without hurting people's feelings?  Finally to our last writer who is struggling with how to be a boss to her friends in the workplace, can you strike a balance or are the dynamics of the friendship doomed? We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

After a couple weeks off we are back in good form with a whole lotta drama! But before we dive in Lainey would like to talk about her courageous spirit and how BTS got her through a "tough" time.Then we get into YOUR drama! First up, what do you do when your friend joins a pyramid scheme and tries to push the goods on your friendship? Can you mix business with pleasure, even if it's a bit culty?Next, how long should you wait until you're sleepover official? Our writer is trying to figure out why her boyfriend won't stay the night. Lainey and I are sniffing out why that might be.....Finally, our last writer doesn't know how to deal with their partner getting hot. But not just hot, hotter than they are. Should they just sit back and reap the rewards or should they try and match hot for hot. We hope you enjoy the show and keep sending me all your DRAMA!

How do we open the show today? Well, with Lainey's favorite topic on earth - popping zits. Which then somehow flows into why she thinks it makes sense for me to show her my vulva. Then your drama: what to do with a cheapo partner, what to do when you're not down with your partner's facial hair, and what to do when you don't want to travel with a travel buddy anymore. We hope you enjoy the show and want you to send me all your DRAMA!
