Work Wives & Real Lives

Episode 19: "Sticky Socks, Sticky Fingers & Why We Can’t Have Nice Things"

• Ava Bodeau and Katie Nyberg • Season 1 • Episode 19

 

🚨 EMERGENCY EPISODE ALERT 🚨

Because apparently people do not stop peopling during the holidays—and we officially could not catch a break. 

This week, we’re joined by our biggest fan: Katie’s husband, Garrett (aka GBaby). After months of interrupting during filming, he finally makes his debut—offering live reactions to the madness, sharing his own work horror stories, and bravely sitting in silence while Katie roasts him for the tire-related fiasco. 

Katie breaks down her multi-day tire fiasco that left her carless, stressed, and driving Garrett’s massive vehicle around Orange County—much to the fear of literally everyone on the road. 

But the real reason for this emergency pod? THEFT AT THE STUDIO.
Yes… we catch it on camera, confront the situation head-on, and unpack the chaos that followed. 

We also dive into: 

  • The unbelievable drama surrounding sticky socks (selling them, giving them away, and apparently stealing them)
  • Scammer stories and real experiences from both Katie and Garrett
  • A quick but passionate recap of the Taylor Swift docuseries to close us out

If you needed proof that small business ownership during the holidays is unhinged… this episode is it.
