Episode 8: Best Friends, Bloodlines & Blunt Truths: Debbie & Ashley’s Wild Ride Part 1

Ever had a friendship so deep, so loyal, and so wild that it feels like no one else would even get it? Now imagine that friend is also your aunt. In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie hit record in a Vegas hotel room with Debbie and Ashley—niece and aunt, secret-keepers, and soulmates by choice.

From vintage thrift store adventures and meme marathons to a hard truth that literally saved a life, their bond is layered, hilarious, and deeply real. They talk about being judged by family, being misunderstood, and why they never let a fight last longer than a day. This one is for anyone who's ever found a best friend in the most unexpected place.
