This week we take aim at Valentine’s Day — not love itself, just the commercialized circus around it. We’re joined by our special guest Alicia Gayman, owner of Peace Love and Hair Salon in Scottsdale, who shares her jaw-dropping story that started like a fairytale and quickly turned into a full-blown nightmare. What she went through is shocking, eye-opening, and a powerful reminder to trust your gut.

After that, we get into our full Valentine’s Day rant: why we think it’s a manufactured holiday, why a single long-stem rose feels ridiculous, and why going out to dinner on February 14 is overpriced chaos. We break down all the things that make us roll our eyes — the pressure, the expectations, and the performative romance.

But true to our vibe, this isn’t a bash-love episode. Now that Alicia is on the other side of her experience, we ask her what she’s looking for in a partner — and discover that she’s still very much open to love!

It’s honest, funny, a little messy, and surprisingly hopeful — with plenty of side-eye for Cupid along the way.

This week on “Girl Math Made Me Subscribe,” The Shit Apple Podcast dives headfirst into the wild, slippery waters of subscriptions. From the absolutely necessary to the utterly unhinged, the three of us tally up what we’re paying for, what we forgot we signed up for, and what we will die on a hill defending. Shelley introduces us to her digital hall monitor Rocket Money, which lovingly exposes every charge while she calmly refuses to break up with any of them.

We travel back in time to when subscriptions meant newspapers on your doorstep, magazines in your mailbox, and cassette tapes arriving like little plastic promises of joy. Then we rocket forward to today’s ecosystem of streaming services, fitness apps, sleep trackers, and sneaky “free trials” that pounce on your credit card like a glittery trap.

Along the way, we unpack all the psychological tricks companies use to rope you in, why canceling feels harder than breaking a blood oath, and why auto-renew might be the most chaotic invention of modern life.

Grab your receipts, clutch your wallet, and join us for an episode that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe finally look at that credit card statement with fresh eyes 💸✨

✨ Bougie Behavior Unlocked ✨

In this episode, we fully embrace the things we’ve become unapologetically high-maintenance about. From refusing to rent the wrong color car, demanding keyless entry like civilized people, and insisting on organic everything, to only using top-notch cookware, skipping lines, enduring terrible concert seats, or staying in crusty hotels with that suspicious bedspread.

We’re calling ourselves out. Loudly.

Plus, we read a listener’s “You Know What I Hate!” because nothing bonds people like shared petty grievances.

If your standards have risen and your patience has vanished, this one’s for you. 🎧✨
