Episode 3: Awkward Encounters with Ghosts

We're baaaaack! After a few months away, we have returned with *thee* bathroom episode. From number one to number two; we're sharing way more than anyone asked for. Nobody asked for this. But we're oversharers. Welcome back to Awkward Encounters! We thrive on making you cringe and laughing at ourselves.

Where do we even begin with this chaos? In this episode of Awkward Encounters, Blonde Meghan returns as our “esteemed” guest with an unexpected cameo from Red Megan; because apparently one Meg(h)an simply isn’t enough.Meanwhile, Laura bravely tackles the true struggle of our time: names. Specifically, why every man she’s ever met is somehow named Ben…or Fen…or Bin…or Bem…or Dave (??). Are these real people or just variations of the same guy? The mystery deepens.From there, we spiral into a laundry list of past stories. Make sure to send us your awkward encounters with names at [email protected] and follow us @awkwardencounterspod. And if you want to be our next special guest, WE WANT YOU!

This week on Awkward Encounters, we prove once again that social grace is… optional.First up, we spiral over something that should be simple: telling time. If you’ve ever confidently said the wrong time out loud and had to just stand in it- welcome.Then, things take a dark turn on an otherwise peaceful walking trail. Carrie encounters not one, but multiple dead animals and somehow manages to make it awkward for every innocent stranger within a 50-foot radius. Is it a crime scene? A spiritual omen? Why is she narrating it to people who did not ask?And finally, a salon moment that will live in infamy. Carrie misreads a caller ID, answers the phone with full confidence, and proceeds to absolutely embarrass herself in front of a captive audience. Here's another week of secondhand embarrassment you’ll be grateful didn’t happen to you.As always, like us on facebook and instagram. And send us your stories! @awkwardencounterspod [email protected]

There was no adult supervision in the making or releasing of this episode. And because this podcast exists primarily for our own amusement, the bullshit has been left in. Enjoy the nonsense! I swear, the longer we pod, the worse we get. Another episode to be recorded THIS WEEK! So, while we may be rough to listen to, we never give up. Bahaha!And THAT my friends, is what keeps us awkward.

Welcome back to another episode of Awkward Encounters! This episode, we talk about Thanksgiving chaos, Piper's most embarrassing moments in the airport, confidently calling someone by the very wrong name, and a classic tale of bastard thumbs on social media- but this time- it wasn't Carrie. Follow, Like, Subscribe. And for the love of all things unholy- email us your awkward encounters at [email protected]!

Picking up where we left off with last episode's dark humor, Laura and Carrie manage to make funerals look more like a blooper reel. And we toss in a few tales from some other people we know who had their own awkward encounters at funerals, proving that it's not just us that should come with warning labels that read, "No Social Skills". And because no episode is complete without a little self-dragging, Carrie walks us through several moments where her confidence was sky-high, her attitude was spicy, and the outcome was not in her favor. Follow, like, subscribe. And for the love of god, SHARE your awkward encounters with us. [email protected]

Welcome to Awkward Encounters with Dark Humor- the episode where no one is emotionally prepared for a comedic therapy session. Laura and Carrie are choosing dark humor with heart this week because sometimes the only way to process love, loss, and emotional demolition is to laugh. Pull up a chair, pour a drink, and join us as we turn our tragedies into stories that make you question if you should be laughing at this. (Yes. You absolutely should.)Email us. Follow Us. Send us your stories. Like us. And Fuck off with your bad reviews. We're too emotionally destroyed to deal with you right now. Peace, Love, and Awkward Encounters to you all.

We're back from Nashville with a suitcase full of stories, pictures, and questionable interactions that make us still want to crawl under our barstools. And, Carrie slides into the DMs of a familiar face via slippery thumb and a truly cursed avatar emoji. Tune into this bonus episode for laughs, mild humiliation, and possibly the best awkward encounter to date. Follow us on socials @awkwardencounterspod and email your stories to [email protected] to share your own stories, or join us as a special guest!

This week we trace our tendency to overshare back to its source- turns out one of our parents passed it down. We share a quick awkward girl math moment before diving into our main event... awkward encounters with law enforcement!Follow us on socials @awkwardencounterspod and email us at [email protected] if you want to be a special guest or have your awkward story featured on the show!

We're getting ready for spooky season by sharing our run-ins with ghosties in our work and homes! Of course, in our true nature, Laura starts and ends the episode strong with some drink mishaps and... wouldn't you know it... technical difficulties.
