Blake and Bonnie come back from their summer hiatus to mock Blake as he turns the big 5-0 with Bonnie asking him non-stop invasive questions that imply that he's very, very, very old. In exchange, he gets to ask her one big uncomfortable question. Naturally, he waffs on all his hard questions, gets very optimistic, misty-eyed and sentimental, and Bonnie, once again, is the perfect nice one. The end.

Oh, and happy birthday, Blake! Party is in NYC, June 30, 2023@6pm, @The Long Pour, E 12th Street. Come buy Blake a drink! Or post comments or send greetings to info@drinkingwithyourex.com

Ever been in a relationship and thought "man, this guy should go to therapy?" Ever been in a fight with your partner and he said "you should definitely be in therapy?" Dear God, how do you even bring that up in a relationship (or hear it from your partner) without being angry, defensive, accusatory and kinda mean? #BonniesLoveLanguage #DroppingTherapyBombs #BitchBCrazy #RegressiveManBoyFTW

Blake and Bonnie are committed therapy enthusiasts but use this episode explore what therapy is, how to find a good therapist and what is the best (and definitely the worst) way to encourage someone you love to seek professional help. Bonnie favors the FBI interrogation/accusation approach while Blake compares that to pushing someone down a flight of stairs while yelling at them. #LEOKink #PeoplePayMore4That #ButWithLove

Do you really think Blake and Bonnie are as clever and funny as they sound? Do you also believe that unicorns and effective politicians are real, too? #IveGotBadNews4U #DontSitOnUnicorns #OrPoliticians

Blake and Bonnie invite Jamey Young, their immensely talented sound engineer onto the show to talk about crutch words, being an audio voyeur, whether Blake uses the phrases "candidly" and "I'm just being honest" as a way to deflect from answering the questions (Spoiler Alert: #Yup), what it's like to listen to two weirdos emotionally eviscerate themselves every week, why more podcasters should hire Jamey and whether being in a long-term relationship is any easier than being single. #SexIsBetter #AloneTimeIsMeTime #BlakeIsWeak #BonnieIsBest
