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.

This week, B & K keep it short and sweet for episode 2 of Season 3. Fake Sponsors include Pulp Fiction (the Vancouver bookstore!) and the book “The First 40 Days” by Heng Ou. The pair discuss a range of topics including what Jesus would think of his representation today, vacuum sealing babies in the womb, semen analysis, and throw ALL the Carly’s some love. ‘It’s in the Stars’ is all about Geminis and the signs who love to love & hate them.

Welcome to SEXPISODE 34+35 aka the Season 2 finale of BaKChat! Joined by BaKChat University tenured and accredited sexologist, Vanessa! Vanessa’s second time on the show did not disappoint as the trio revisited their original test results from 2 years ago on www.bdsmtest.org and compared them to their latest results. Topics range from covid relationships, sex parties, non-monogamy, jealousy, chat roulette, pregnancy sex, and who could forget ‘Jaculatin’ (hint: you won’t be able to after listening to this episode!). ‘It’s in the Stars’ explores the signs abilities as monogamous, monogam-ish, or non-monogamous, and Bryan and Krista’s astrological accreditations are brought into question! Thank you to everyone who listened to Season 2 of BaKChat! We are so excited to share this must-listen finale with you. Stay tuned for a Season 3 premiere of BaKChat coming soon and as always, don’t forget to wipe front to BaK!
