Episode 10 Ever been called “wild” when you were really just tired? This episode of Slightly Unsupervised is for the girls who carried everyone else’s mess—siblings, parents, grandparents, even cousins—while still expected to smile and keep it all together. Jennifer and Jackie peel back the curtain on how too much responsibility, too young, created a rebellious streak that wasn’t about being reckless…it was about survival.

From driving grandma to chemo at 16, raising younger siblings, and hiding family chaos behind perfect houses, to stolen cars, spontaneous beach days, and elaborate cover stories, this is the untamed truth behind their so-called wild years. It’s the story of two girls who found each other in the middle of it all and decided that friendship would be their freedom.

In This Episode:

• What happens when you’re parentified before you can even drive [04:10]
• The stolen car joyride that sealed their friendship [09:20]
• Orange paint, a CRX, and the SOS pad disaster [15:35]
• Freezing an engine on a school-skipping beach trip [21:45]
• Why neither of them ever wanted a boyfriend in high school [27:20]
• How “wild” was really an outlet, not a downfall [33:05]
• The friend who showed Jennifer how to be a mother [39:50]
• What they’d tell their 16-year-old selves now [46:00]

If you’ve ever been judged for your wildness, this is your reminder: it wasn’t rebellion—it was release.

Episode 9 Part 1 gave you a peek into Debbie and Ashley’s aunt-niece madness, Part 2 is a full-blown backstage pass. Recorded in a Vegas hotel room, Jennifer and Jackie dive back in with these two ride-or-dies for even more outrageous stories, vintage fashion regrets, unexpected celebrity run-ins, and the kind of funeral pep talks only they could pull off.

From accidentally watching vampire porn with Grandpa to inhaling a fart bomb (and calling Poison Control—twice), this episode proves that Debbie and Ashley’s bond is part comedy duo, part emotional lifeline, and 100% chaos. They share why they don’t let outsiders mess with their vibe, how music became their shared love language, and why even the weirdest family moments become the most cherished memories.

In This Episode:

• The night a “scary movie” turned into something… much stranger [02:15]
• When $40 cost Debbie her entire vintage wardrobe (and a $5K dress) [07:40]
• Why Brian Setzer, Duran Duran, and Sublime are part of their friendship DNA [12:20]
• The cat wedding that counts as someone’s “biggest trauma” [18:05]
• How to sneak into a sold-out concert Vegas-style [21:45]
• Their unshakable dark humor—and the funeral toe incident [26:10]
• The shopping carts full of “stuff we’ll never buy” [32:30]
• Why you can’t sit these two together when it’s supposed to be serious [36:15]

If you’ve ever loved someone so much you can’t decide whether to protect them or prank them, this episode is your people.
