Basically Famous

Spencer Laughlin & Wendy Vaughan

You may not know us yet, but we're basically famous...and always in on the joke. This isn't our first rodeo so we've learned a thing or two and one things for certain: Our lives may look different, but we all deal with the same shit. Welcome to our digital diary, where we're taking our notoriety to the mic and no topic is off limits. Each week, we'll laugh over life's bullshit, share our hot takes and make one of you basically famous too! Need advice? Want to get something off your chest? Or maybe you want to find out if you're the asshole in a situation? Call or text the hotline at 919-867-6776 for your moment in the spotlight. xoxo, Spencer & Wendy
