Karina Hefner and Sam "Merpy" Cook are two best friends here to tell stories, give advice, and talk about all things pop-culture. Their shared mental illnesses include eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, and alcoholism. Listening to Hangxious will have you feeling like you're on a FaceTime call with your toxic best friends.
What would you do if you found out that your best friend of seven straight (gay) years was trying to sleep with your ex? By uploading today’s special episode, Karina Hefner and Merpy delve head-first into the risk of receiving cease-and-desists, demonetization, and potential arrest for assault and battery… oh my! It’s currently been 154 days since Merpy’s ex-boyfriend moved out of the house, 82 days since they last uploaded, 71 days since he’s gone no-contact and 30 straight days since they last filmed today’s episode. However, your two favorite trauma-dumpers are here to overshare and be as embarrassing and cringeworthy as ever. Fueled by the earliest stages of grief, this episode shines quite the negative light on almost all parties involved. So… who’s really the villain? I guess, you’ll just have to watch and find out for yourself. This episode should not be admissible in a court of law as it is complete fiction and 100% not true. Please do not send any hate to the people that are mentioned.

Our Anesthesia Nightmare
Previously filmed days prior to Thanksgiving, today's episode of Hangxious was buried in the vault for several weeks. To the dismay and disapproval of both Merpy and Karina, the powers that be have decided that this was a necessary episode for viewers to see in order to understand the lore of what has been going on in the two lives of each respective co-host. With new soft white-chairs, and a leg propped up on the table, this is the first time viewers will get to experience a laid-back Merp coming off the heels of a medication relapse with all five of his toes partially exposed. In relation to Merp's anesthesia nightmare, Karina evokes the multiplicity of life (and death) by detailing her several different run-ins with the local Planned Parenthood. But that's not all – the Hangxious team has been listening to your questions, and this episode's advice column is all about situationships. Merpy and Karina discuss the intricacies of these complex relationships, offering insights and advice based on their own experiences and perspectives. Don't worry, though – they want to make it clear that the situationships discussed have absolutely no relation to their personal lives. If you, or someone you know, is in recovery from addiction or abortions: this episode is for you.

When Your Ex Moves On (Cheats)
In the second episode of the second season of the Hangxious podcast, Karina Hefner takes matters into her own hands by getting ahead of next week's newscycle by detailing the multiple different bar fights that she's caused in the name of love (and trauma). Fueled by a mix of borderline personality disorder, and a bag of unprocessed emotions, in today's episode Karina's suffering from an alleged combination of polysubstance abuse hangover, and a wicked flair for the dramatics.
Karina explains how her ex-boyfriend has been secretly keeping in contact with her through anonymous Tumblr messages and mysterious no-caller ID phone calls. Never shy in the face of confrontation, Karina makes quite the bold statement by passionately making out with another guy (or several?).
Merpy lays bare his soul as he shares the heart-wrenching tale of his ex-boyfriend's eviction notice, exposing the web of lies, deceit and betrayal that unfolded right under his nose (and roof). Listeners are taken on an emotional rollercoaster as Merpy recounts the discovery of his ex-boyfriend's secret relationship with a Tiktoker, one that spanned for several months. And one that most of you have already probably seen on Instagram. Thanks for telling him.
The plot thickens as we uncover the surprising connection between Karina's drunken escapades and a mysterious incident involving Merpy's car over the weekend. Emotions run high, Karina gets higher, secrets are exposed, and the consequences of heartbreak reverberate through the lives of our two podcast co-hosts. Today's episode promises a captivating exploration of the complexities of modern relationships and the unexpected paths revenge can take.
