  • 31 Institutions, 1 Survivor: Amber Rogers Tells ALL | Ep 46
    May 11 2026

    In Part 2 of this raw, unfiltered conversation on generational trauma, Amber breaks down 31 involuntary psychiatric commitments, a harrowing stay at Green Oaks in Dallas, and what it truly means when the system designed to help you becomes another abuser.


    From Britney Spears' conservatorship to Wendy Williams' financial takeover, the girls connect the dots between power, silence, and who gets to decide when a woman is "well." Plus, a fire conversation about her new diversity committee role, the ugly backlash she didn't expect, and why she's done internalizing other people's mess.


    This episode closes with some of the most quotable energy you'll hear this year: "It is a reflection of you, not a projection from me."

  • From Cougar Confessions to JPS Psych Ward: Amber Rogers Tells On Everybody | Ep 45
    May 4 2026

    Ben took a personal day, so it's Mylo and Friend this week — and honey, Mylo did not book a guest who plays small. Amber Rogers pulls up to the couch, kicks off her four-inch heels, and hands us a story so layered we needed a Part 1 and a Part 2.


    We start where every healthy podcast starts: complaining about Uber cutting off the BOGO coupons, getting a boyfriend banned for life over a maskless makeout in the backseat, and Mylo officially trademarking the No-No Zone. From there it’s Amber explaining how she became a cougar by accident and accidentally fell in love with the 28-year-old who finally taught her what a healthy relationship looks like.


    And then. Honey. And then.


    Amber pivots into the real reason she's here: generational trauma, and what happens when a child grows up watching grandpa cheat, grandma sleep on the couch, and silence get called "love." She unpacks the Dr. Phil episode where her mother went on national television and called her childhood perfect — despite police reports going back to 1980, despite being raped at 14 by the same man who later murdered her best friend, despite moving out at 15. We talk Origins rehab, why love addiction got mistreated as drug addiction, and how she walked away from meth as a choice — not a cure.


    Bring tissues. And maybe a Xanax. We're not your therapist — but we'll sit with you.

  • Straight Men, You’re SAFE & Other Truths Mylo and Ben Need to Share | Ep 44
    Apr 20 2026

    The boys are back for round two and they came to say something.


    Mylo opens with a whole story about pre-announcing his gayness before social outings — not because he's insecure, but because he refuses to be the unwanted guest at someone else's Top Golf party. Ben takes it deeper, sharing what it's really like navigating the mortgage industry as an openly gay man in 2026 and why asking "are you prepared to work with a gay person?" was never about seeking permission.


    From there, things get delightfully unhinged: a sweaty straight man warned Mylo not to hit on him (sir, relax), Ben's fridge died and Trinity Home Advisors saved her life- Oh, and Ben's headed to Puerto Rico, but first she needs her passport because apparently ICE is now working TSA.


    It's giving chaos. It's giving clarity. It's giving Mylo and Ben.
