  • Episode 34: On Top of the Urinal

    53:48|
    This week, Bailey and Gill prove that no inconvenience is too small to spiral into a full-blown rant. From car fuse chaos and tech that refuses to cooperate, to workplace nonsense and deeply uncomfortable bathroom encounters... nothing is safe.Somewhere between celebrating years of friendship and questioning every human behavior in existence, things take a turn into global territory (because yes, apparently people everywhere are acting like this). Whether it’s customer service nightmares, corporate communication that makes zero sense, or the universal struggle of just… existing in public, this episode covers it all.It’s unfiltered, it’s relatable, and it’s aggressively loud in all the right ways.Because at the end of the day... sleep is ruining lives, everything is too loud, and we’re all just trying to figure out…what exactly are we mad about?
  • 33. Episode 33: We’re SO Back.

    51:45||Season 1, Ep. 33
    This week on Disgruntled, Bailey and Gill are back (yes, alive and well—despite rumors of emotional abandonment) and catching you up on everything from chaos, grief, and travel mishaps to the tiny, irrational things that absolutely send us over the edge.We kick things off with complaints that range from “where the hell did you go?” (valid) to weather apps gaslighting us, apartments with zero soundproofing, and people who think sending 147 unread messages is a personality trait. Truly, the villains are everywhere.But it’s not all yelling into the void—okay, it mostly is—but we also get real about navigating grief, finding normalcy after loss, and how life doesn’t exactly pause while you’re trying to process it. It’s honest, it’s a little unhinged, and it’s exactly what you needed.So whether you’re emotionally dependent on this podcast, personally victimized by humidity forecasts, or just here for the chaos… welcome home. We missed you. Don’t ever scare us like that again.
  • 32. Episode 32: My Etsy Witch, Gloria.

    44:05||Season 1, Ep. 32
    Episode 32: My Etsy Witch, GloriaThis week, Bailey and Gill spiral (lovingly) through a chaotic recap of concerts, travel plans, gas prices, weather mood swings, and the overstimulation of simply existing. From spilled drinks and mom moments to Bailey consulting his Etsy witch Gloria (yes, really), the conversation bounces between practical life updates and deeply unserious observations about everything happening around them.They get into fashion sizing frustrations, body image spirals, seasonal allergies, car wash woes, and the eternal search for the perfect climate — plus a few political tangents and listener moments that remind them why this community stays undefeated.✨ Curious about Gloria? Check out her Etsy shop here!!It’s overstimulated, slightly unhinged, very funny, and painfully relatable — just how we like it.
  • 31. Episode 31: Gill Ripped Her Pants

    47:50||Season 1, Ep. 31
    This week on Disgruntled, we start with wardrobe malfunctions, dog chaos, and weekend recaps… and somehow end up unpacking the emotional Olympics of being the family peacekeeper.Bailey shares a major life update (yes, that promotion 👀), Gill gives us pet-induced stress that no one asked for, and somewhere between home renovations and sibling group chats, we get honest about what it costs to be “the responsible one.”We talk about:• Promotions and what they actually feel like• The emotional labor of keeping the peace• When sibling dynamics never leave middle school• Why some friendships are seasonal — and that’s not a failure• And how to stop volunteering yourself for problems that aren’t yoursAt some point you realize you’ve been holding everything together for everyone… and no one asked you to.Maybe it’s time to come back to yourself.As always, it’s therapy — but with less crying and more boundary setting.
  • 30. Episode 30: Pilot Precise V7 RT

    47:30||Season 1, Ep. 30
    This week, we’re spiraling — but make it productive.Bailey and Gillian kick things off with life updates that feel suspiciously like character development: laundry that refuses to be folded, home renovations that have entered their villain era, and the subtle art of pretending you’re “almost done” with a project that started three months ago.From there? Absolute chaos.Listener submissions bring dating disasters (please be on time, it’s not that hard), DIY meltdowns, and a game night that should’ve required waivers. Bailey declares his unwavering love for Catan. Gillian questions the stability of anyone who flips a Monopoly board. Somewhere in the middle, we unpack the Great Office Pen Heist and why certain pens — yes, we’re looking at you, Pilot Precise V7 RT — hit different.It’s procrastination. It’s renovation delusion. It’s dating etiquette. It’s competitive board game trauma. It’s the little daily grievances that somehow feel like personality traits.And through it all?“I love my life.”“I love Catan.”Same energy. Different fonts.Grab your favorite pen (guard it with your life), fold your laundry tomorrow, and press play.
