E & T are back this week talking about Therapy Jeff calling out Mel Robbins "Let Them" theory, why nobody is a "good villager" anymore, accepting that some people will never host or coordinate plans, and navigating complicated family dynamics and politics this holiday season. The gals discuss a viral Father of the Bride speech where the man throws on a MAGA hat disregarding his daughter's wishes. Teresa shares her "Chubbs Peterson" story that caused a big family fight during Thanksgiving. The end of the episode features a Patreon Preview.

Ever feel like you need a good, long chat with friends who aren't afraid to say the weird thing out loud? That's the vibe of Two Stand-Up Gals. Comedians Erica Spera and Teresa DeGaetano have turned their backstage conversations into a weekly audio hangout, where nothing is off-limits. You'll hear them workshop new jokes, dissect the latest celebrity gossip, and share candid stories from the trenches of stand-up life, all while venting about whatever's bugging them that week. It's a space for honest talk about body image, creative struggles, and the general absurdity of existing, delivered with the ease of a long-term friendship. This podcast, formerly known as Shooters Gotta Shoot, captures the unfiltered and real dynamic of two comics figuring it all out, one laugh at a time. Tune in for the feeling of pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the conversation is always flowing and the comedy is genuinely organic.
