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.
