Closed Quad - Let's Taco Bout It! The Closed Quad rides again! And this time, we're going completely off the rails. We still had some lingering thoughts about this messed up show, so we jumped on Ace & Katelyn's recap this week to air our grievances in a safe space where we could be emotionally supported. Nothing we can write here can prepare you for the PawPaw impersonations that ensue. Four people, one Closed Quad, zero restraint, no regrets. Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpod

Emma Johnston grew up on 7 Little Johnstons, and like many reality TV stars, she’s trying to turn her screen time into a steady income stream. We took a closer look at her online shop, Emma’s Rings N Things (yes, the one from the show), and let’s just say…some of these “handmade” pieces are more like “hand-picked from the Hobby Lobby clearance aisle.” Between the markups and some very familiar products, we had questions. Is Emma running a scrappy small business or something a little shadier? Listen to our investigation and decide for yourself. Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpod

"Chapter 2: Marching into something good (Part 1)" There was a lot going on in this chapter, so we had to split it up - like Kody and his spiritual wives. The timeline gets granular as the catfish provides a sepia-tone flashback of their relationship descriptions from last chapter. We question everything we've ever known about manipulation tactics as we join the #NotYet movement, then we debate the possibility of Janelle's alleged physical altercation with Meri while she was pregnant.
