We hope some story writing execs from the Hallmark Channel are listening to this gem! Bethany has a very serious theory about Ryan Gosling's fists. Is he -or- isn't he about to go HAM on someone during every single red carpet photo op? Also, Ryan Reynolds stops by to stay hi (sorta). Then, Kathleen is blowing our minds with her 'work backwards' idea about creating your ideal life. PLUS, she's sharing the top 6 signs you are giving too much of yourself to your job! Welcome to Wednesday, Buds... it's time to breakdance!

Have you ever wondered if your Airbnb host REALLY left for the weekend? Are there any hidden rooms in that cabin you didn’t know about? Bethany fell down a rabbit hole of creepy Airbnb stories and she’s passing the savings on to you! Then, Kathleen is questioning all of the health “rules” we’ve been told our whole lives: you need 8 glasses of water, 10,000 steps, 7 servings of fruit and vegetables, etc etc. Are they true? Who came up with them? WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM US?

It’s an unintentional true crime episode! Who’s ready for some sultry Kathleen “sexy voice?” Our girl has strep throat but she’s showing up like a champ to discuss the cheerleading scandal that introduced a lot of people to the world of “deep fake videos” - taking a video of one person and editing a different person over them! But was this really a case of edited footage? Bethany is talking about a man who showed up in Sligo, Ireland, and disappeared forever! But did he even exist in the first place? Plus some sweet sweet #TowelContent that we forced our editor to keep in.
