S4E3 Tinsel, Tidings, and Total Chaos – “None Of This is Podcastable”

🎄 BaKChat’s Christmas Finale: Drunk, Unhinged, and Definitely Getting Us Coal 🎄

This holiday trainwreck is packed tighter than Santa’s sack, and spoiler: it’s spilling over with butthole jokes, T-Swift fangirling, and just the right amount of drunken debauchery to ruin Christmas dinner. Let’s break it down:

Bryan Met Taylor Swift’s Mom: Yeah, you read that right. We love it.

Krista’s Holiday Hell: First car accident? Check. Lost ornaments? Double check. But she’s back to drink through the pain—Santa mugs NOT optional.

Zodiac Signs as the 12 Days of Christmas: Forget “lords a-leaping”—how about Geminis a-sh*tposting? It’s messy, loud, and somehow also a carol.

Fake Sponsors, Real Energy: Huge shoutouts to Hailey and Nillionaire Club for the nostalgic holiday vibes. Tushy for keeping things cheeky, Edna’s for making Dry January look classy, and MyNameNecklace.com—because nothing says “the holidays” like a personalized chain and shameless product placement.

Irish Accents That Should Be Illegal: Was it offensive? Probably. Are we sorry? Absolutely not.

It’s In the Stars: Forget “Lords a-leaping”—this chaotic carol reimagines the 12 Days of Christmas through the zodiac, and let’s just say, no sign makes it out unscathed. Want us to tackle your wildest dreams next season? Write us! Otherwise, next year’s carol is going full Broadway, and trust us—you don’t want to hear Bryan try to hit those high notes.

This episode is rowdy, inappropriate, and borderline incriminating. If you’re not listening with a drink in hand, are you even doing the holidays right?

🎧 Press play and let BaKChat wreck your halls. Happy freaking holidays, you filthy animals! 🎄

S4E2 “We Try to Put the Sensual Back in Non-Consensual”

This week on BaKChat, things get real weird, real fast. First up, we’re throwing it back with some of our most dramatic emo crushes that still haunt us in the best (and worst) ways. Then we dive headfirst into a pandemic “kumbaya” moment that no one asked for but everyone somehow remembers. But the main event? Our jaw-dropping, brain-frying review of the ‘Resolve Black Crotchless Baby Doll Women’s Fishnet Body Stocking.’ Think crotchless, fishnets, and a one-piece ‘baby-doll stripper pack’ situation that left us speechless and mildly traumatized. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Fake Sponsors:
Big shoutout to this week’s Fake Sponsors: @elizabethpedersonhair (making hair magic happen) and Model Express, for when you want to look like a superstar on no notice, no budget, and even fewer standards.

It’s in the Stars:
B & K have consulted the cosmos, and let’s just say it’s a wild ride. Tune in for astrological wisdom you won’t get anywhere else, and maybe brace yourself for some truths you didn’t know you needed with a TUSHY twist! Ask us about our buttholes!

Parental Advisory:
To our Moms: seriously, do not listen. We mean it. This episode is so NSFM (Not Safe For Moms), it’s practically radioactive. Everyone else? Hit play and enjoy the chaos.
