This week, they compare notes on a wedding, summer parenting, airplane annoyances, and the shocking discovery that \"cocktail attire\" means something completely different in North Carolina than it does in Dallas. They also discuss a particular ring bearer who took his responsibilities a little too seriously, a graduation season celebrity sighting, and a reference to the \"Harvey Weinstein of Dallas.\" Plus, Heather contemplates buying an inflatable Gaga Ball pit, and a routine Target return takes a dark turn when Cynthia is unexpectedly reunited with an unmentionable at customer service. As always, it's equal parts life advice and public embarrassment.
