Between Us Only
Firestorms and Iron Fists
In this week’s episode of Between Us Only, Andrew and Michelle talk about the LA fires and the impact on the people who were hit the hardest. They share ways to help, like donating to the Red Cross or the Los Angeles Fire Department, and reflect on how everyone can pitch in during tough times.
HOW YOU CAN HELP Families are depending on the Red Cross for assistance now, and we need your support. Please help people affected by the 2025 California Wildfires by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) or texting the word CAWILDFIRES to 90999 to make a donation.
The Los Angeles Fire Department is on the frontlines, protecting lives, homes, and communities during the 2025 California Wildfires. Your support can provide essential resources, training, and equipment for these brave firefighters. To donate, visit supportlafd.org or call (310) 552-4139 to contribute by phone. Every donation helps them continue their life-saving work.
Pasadena Humane has taken in over 400 animals from the Eaton Fire Emergency. We are desperately in need of monetary donations to help us purchase medical supplies and other resources as we start to see a significant increase in the number of burned and injured animals coming to our shelter. These animals are suffering from smoke inhalation, singed paws, burns, dehydration, and more. We have been treating each animal based on their needs, providing fluids, oxygen, pain medications and wound care as quickly as we can. The best way to help the animals and families who are in need is to donate. This will give us the flexibility to cover critical expenses like medical care, facility maintenance, and support for lifesaving programs that ensure every animal has the best chance at a happy ending.
This is a human and animal tragedy on an unimaginable scale and we are only beginning to learn of the full impact.As the Eaton Fire emergency continues, we anticipate that we will need to take in many more animals who are in need of emergency medical care.
HOW YOU CAN HELP by going to give.pasadenahumane.org and giving a donation.

37. Guess who's back
01:15:17||Ep. 37We’re back. Again. 😅 After a two-month hiatus (yes, we know… we said we wouldn’t do this again), Michelle and I finally sat down to record a new episode of Between Us Only. In this episode, we catch you all up on everything that’s happened since we disappeared, including Andrew’s play and what life looked like performing through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. It’s a full recap of the chaos, the lessons, and what it was like living inside one project through the holidays, plus some honest reflections on where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and why we always come back to this space with you. Thanks for sticking with us. ❤️Hosted by: Andrew & Michelle BiernatMusic by: Vans Bro’sLike, subscribe, and follow us on social media ❤️Instagram: @betweenusonlypodcast https://www.instagram.com/betweenusonlypodcast?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZAYouTube: @Between_us_onlyQuestions?

When It Rains, It Pours
01:39:36||Ep. 36This episode of Between Us Only, Andrew and Michelle open up about one of the hardest months they’ve had in a long time. Lucy came down with pneumonia, and for a moment, they truly thought they were going to lose her. On top of that, Andrew is dealing with a broken rib, had two teeth pulled, Michelle has a UTI, and Andrew’s liver may or may not be fatty. It’s been a tough stretch, but they’re grateful Lucy’s still with them and for all the love, prayers, and heartfelt messages from everyone. Your support has meant the world. 🫶🐾❤️Hosted by: Andrew & Michelle BiernatMusic by: Vans Bro’sLike, subscribe, and follow us on social media ❤️Instagram: @betweenusonlypodcast https://www.instagram.com/betweenusonlypodcast?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZAYouTube: @Between_us_onlyQuestions?

01:41:15||Ep. 35We’re celebrating one year of Between Us Only! Michelle finally got her storage unit, Andrew managed to break a rib, and somewhere in between he reads an insert from his Zsadist journal. Michelle tests him with trivia questions, Andrew confesses he doesn’t really know how to type on a computer, and Michelle insists she’s wearing shorts under her skirt (even if it looks like she isn’t). One year in, and the chaos shows no signs of slowing down.Hosted by: Andrew & Michelle BiernatMusic by: Vans Bro’sLike, subscribe, and follow us on social media ❤️Instagram: @betweenusonlypodcast https://www.instagram.com/betweenusonlypodcast?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZAYouTube: @Between_us_onlyQuestions?

Couples’ Battle Royale: Storage Units, Trucker Hat Mystery Packs & Duck-Sized Horses
02:01:45||Ep. 34This debate episode is a full-on couples’ battle royale. First up: the great storage unit standoff — Andrew says “absolutely not,” Michelle says “absolutely yes.” Vote in the comments: if Michelle gets 100 yes’s, she wins the unit. Then comes real-life drama, like Andrew hogging the bed, plus ridiculous hypotheticals — 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck? Andrew promises to stop cursing… but of course, he doesn’t. Shocking revelations appear too, like Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte flavoring… something about ammonia. And somehow, a speed round shows up at the end. Enjoy the madness between us only.Hosted by: Andrew & Michelle BiernatMusic by: Vans Bro’sLike, subscribe, and follow us on social media ❤️Instagram: @betweenusonlypodcast https://www.instagram.com/betweenusonlypodcast?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZAYouTube: @Between_us_onlyQuestions?

From Ozzy to Atlanta and Hot Takes Galore
02:30:44||Ep. 33Ozzy Osborne has passed (RIP to the prince of darkness), and Andrew keeps trying to restart the episode, but Michelle won’t have it. They catch up on their week, including a trip to a quirky Photo Booth museum and talk about Michelle heading to Atlanta for work. Then it’s a wild ride through a bunch of hot takes that send them down rabbit holes neither of them saw coming. They wrap it up by answering some listener questions and, as always, embrace the chaos in between.Hosted by: Andrew & Michelle BiernatMusic by: Vans Bro’sLike, subscribe, and follow us on social media ❤️Instagram: @betweenusonlypodcast https://www.instagram.com/betweenusonlypodcast?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZAYouTube: @Between_us_onlyQuestions?
