Finding Girlfriends

We get into the very busy Season 1 finale, as Joan takes the other Girlfriends to Sinbad's Music Festival in Jamaica. On the island, Maya gets a life-changing bikini wax, Lynn meets a love-life-changing Jamaican, and Toni engages Terrell Davis. But the whole thing backfires spectacularly when Joan confesses to Toni that she's the reason Greg dumped her—and Toni responds by hooking up with Sean. Also, William proposes to Yvonne. Drama city! Oh and until next time, whenever that may be... peace out and stay nasty!

Clay proposes to Toni with a fat rock, Maya fakes the big O and William demands Yvonne quit the force after she gets shot in the booty. Meanwhile, Joan tells Greg about Toni's engagement and f*cks everything up. Which perfectly gift wraps our brand-new segment!

Jejune Joan yearns for Sean to say "I love you." Trashy Toni sleeps with Greg and Dr. Spencer on the same night and gets chlamydia. Mouthy Maya distrusts the temp who filled in for her. Wacky William has some funny lines. And Loopy Lyn is… solid in middle relief. The guys discuss!

Maya struggles to be intimate with Darnell after her surgery, Toni helps Greg sell a painting but… it's complicated, William dispenses amusing advice and Lyn remains man-less. Oh and Joan tells Sean she kissed Davis and must deal with the consequences. The guys discuss all of that plus: Is 847 the real MVP of this episode? Listen to find out!

As Joan's relationship with Sean intensifies, the other girlfriends, especially Lyn, become increasingly jealous. Meanwhile, Maya has surgery, Toni fights with Greg and William lets it all hang out. The guys discuss!

The guys discuss the Lynn-tervention, the Joan-tervention and all the other goofy antics in this rather frustrating Girlfriends chapter!

The guys discuss the important questions this episode raises about respecting and valuing women in the workplace. Then, they talk about how hot the girls looked in their yoga clothes.

Shawn and Steve introduce an exciting new format—hooray, structure!—as they discuss Joan's bad sex with Sean, Maya's medical bombshell, William's Denver omelette, Toni's "complimentary nuts," Lyn's parachuting outfit, the other TV credits of the actress who played Niecy and how to deal with awkward conversations about feminine issues. Plus: sex tapes!!

The guys discuss this Valentine's Day-themed episode, which features Joan deciding between a sex addict and an engaged restaurant owner. They also talk about Lynn's unbalanced outfits, Toni's breast-laden ceiling, Joan's sex- and chocolate sauce-stained desk and William's messy bedroom. Plus: Up in the Air!

The guys get into some stuff as they discuss this sex-tastic episode of Girlfriends, including sex addiction, movies about sex addiction, the differences between men and women, Wilt Chamberlain, edging, Short Circuit, the term "pre-Apu," and a crazy true story from Shawn's time in LA. Plus: Did Toni coin the phrase "thirsty"? And is Greg good-looking enough for her? And will we EVER see Lynn actually hook up?

The guys break down this compelling and rich episode, including Joan's self-defeating thirstiness, Lynn's freakin' red triangle, William's passion for a psycho cop and Toni's paint-based lovemaking. Plus: Steve trains for the annual Girlfriends episode description tournament in Fresno!

The guys discuss what they liked about this highly entertaining episode, including Lynn's bracelets, William's svelteness (and ass-slapping ability), Joan's one liners, Maya's defense of family structure, Toni's sexy yet questionable morals and Frank's wife's illogical decisions. Then they talk about their own experiences with dating married people. Also: You'll learn new terms like "moogling" and "Donnelly style"!

The guys discuss all aspects of this wedding episode, including what made Steve tear up, the difficulty of being friends with someone who has fancier tastes (and looks down on yours), the hotness of Maya's mom, the beauty (and tats!) of Persia White and Toni's problem with black guys dating non-black women. Also: They still don't trust Darnell.

The guys discuss the guest star appearance of the one and only Kelsey Grammer and wonder whether the show could have done more with his immense talents. Then they debate whether Preston C. Hall (Duane Martin), a famous attorney, is a good man for Joan to date or a bad dude she should avoid. They also learn the right way to extinguish a grease fire. Plus: Was Lynn homeless hot? 

The guys discuss whether they thought Joan might actually be pregnant--and share a couple of pregnancy-scare stories from their own lives. They also hail the meatier role for Lynn in this episode, and they stick their metaphorical fists in their mouths over Toni ordering a three-pack of thongs over the phone. Because that's what you did in 2000.

The guys get sidetracked when they make a shocking discovery about Bruce Willis movie titles. Then they debate whether Persia White is the Winston Zeddemore of Girlfriends, whether Darnell is actually cheating on Maya, whether Maya is headed toward being a single woman and whether Toni's white boyfriend could BE any whiter. Also: Is it OK for a man to have a weave?

The guys discuss this Halloween-tastic episode. But first they chat about the 1993 film "The Remains of the Day" starring Anthony Hopkins in a mansion. Not to be confused with that other movie Anthony Hopkins did in a mansion the same year. Then they dissect the girlfriends' sexy costumes and talk about what might have been if the show had addressed the serious issue of police brutality head-on, rather than as a punchline. Plus: Plushies!

Shawn and Steve discuss a bevy of hot topics including: Does Marcus look like Cockroach from the Cosby Show? Did Lyn actually make us laugh? Is Maya now the "goofy" character? Did Joan and Marcus hook up in real life? Why do women prefer men who give them a hard time? Have we ever had pity sex? What's the best way to break up? And most importantly: Does Toni's hair look better curly or straight??

The guys tackle a whole barrel of topics including the curious spelling of this episode's title, the stigma of online dating in the year 2000, whether the show has a goatee quota and Maya's believability as a conspiracy theorist. Then they get into the heavy stuff: Toni's jaw-dropping dismissal of a (seemingly ideal) internet date for being "too black" and how that compares to Joan's judgment of her man's generous hips. Then they get back to discussing male girdles, Toni's "heavy artillery" (her words!) and how two secondary characters sharing a scene is like NBA garbage time. Because that's what they do.          

Shawn and Steve both take a crack at summarizing this girl-fight-and-makeup episode, with varying degrees of success—and amounts of airtime. Then they discuss Joan's conundrum, celebrate the triumphant return of William's grade-A punchlines and debate whether Toni was wearing a bra. They also delve into deeper topics like the relationships between the girlfriends and the unique challenges faced by black women in contemporary American society, we swear!
