Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ROOMMATE FROM HELL
Q: What steps did you take to remove the squatter and protect yourself?
We pursued eviction law, consulted with authorities, used a civil harassment restraining order, contacted organizations involved, and leveraged social media exposure to warn others and pressure the situation toward resolution.
ROOMMATE FROM HELL
Q: How did you end up living with a squatter?
We trusted a person we found through casual arrangements, and within weeks we realized she was squatting and had no intention of leaving, which led to a long, legally complex battle.
Little Long Liter
Q: If you had to pick only one, what would be your favorite episode you've ever done?
The host describes each episode as like a child and cites the Connie Converse episode as a standout, while acknowledging all episodes have unique value and that the first episode holds a special place because it launched the platform.
HOTLINE: Boundaries!
Q: How do I handle a friend who constantly ghosts me due to mental health issues?
It's important to establish boundaries and consider if your needs are being met in this friendship. Communication is key, and it may be helpful to express your feelings to your friend.

Q: What do we think, babes?
Spencer reflects on the plausibility of the new evidence and expresses that some skepticism may come from those ready to dismiss the sensationalization surrounding the case.
