Disgruntled

We disappeared for two months, came back dressed as ghosts, and somehow things only got more unhinged from there.

Season 2 of Disgruntled is officially here.

Bailey and Gill are catching up on everything that made them disgruntled during the hiatus, including moving disasters, ridiculous Halloween candy prices, concert etiquette, McDonald’s Monopoly, dog strollers, stadium seats, personalized bowling balls, and the discovery that Bailey’s new house may have a concerning history involving husbands who move into it.

And then the listener submissions get WILD.

👀 A husband has a “work wife”… and her pregnancy timeline lines up suspiciously well with their work trip.

💍 A woman discovers her sister named her newborn baby after her dead fiancé, and there may be a much darker reason why.

👻 A four-year-old starts talking to a dead woman named Miss Evelyn who supposedly lives in the hallway. Then Miss Evelyn starts protecting her from a man who appears outside her bedroom at night.

Oh, and Bailey may have accidentally moved into a haunted house.

Welcome to Disgruntled, where real people send us their relationship drama, workplace complaints, family chaos, embarrassing stories, secrets, rants, and situations that make us question humanity. Bailey Bowlin and Gillian Johnson read them, react to them, and provide advice that nobody should mistake for professional guidance.

One year. Fifty-two episodes. An alarming number of complaints. Somehow, we made it.

In the Season 1 finale of Disgruntled, Bailey and Gill start with stolen wind chimes, aggressive keyboard typing, a feud between a grown adult and a seven-year-old, and the tragic passing of Jimmy’s queen ant. You know, normal podcast material.

But somewhere between the petty complaints and questionable advice, things get a little deeper.

A listener struggling with jealousy opens a conversation about comparing your life to everyone else’s highlight reel and feeling like you’re falling behind. Then, one final submission asks something much harder: How do you grieve the person you thought you would become?

Bailey and Gill get honest about self-worth, regret, anxiety, missed timelines, starting over, investing in yourself, and learning to appreciate the person you are while still making room for whoever you’re becoming next.

And as Season 1 comes to an end, Bailey gets emotional reflecting on what 52 episodes of Disgruntled have meant, why this show exists, and the people who made the first year possible.

Come for the stolen wind chimes. Stay for the unexpected existential crisis.

In this episode:
• Comparing yourself to other people
• Jealousy, success, and feeling behind in life
• Grieving the person you thought you’d become
• Self-worth, confidence, and personal growth
• Learning to invest in yourself
• Petty neighbor feuds and stolen wind chimes
• Bailey getting bamboozled over blackout curtains
• Celebrating one year and 52 episodes of Disgruntled

Season 2 premieres September 11.

Episode 51: Bailey and Gill’s Surprises

Bailey and Gill came to Episode 50 with one rule: they each had a surprise for the other. Unfortunately, Gill’s surprise involved a U-Haul, a bungee cord, and a direct hit to the face.

While Gill reveals the injury that left half her face covered, Bailey drops some major life news of his own: he and Jimmy are selling their house and moving. That means leaving behind a home they love, cutting down an exhausting commute, packing an unreasonable amount of heavy furniture, and trusting that sometimes the right decision can still be a hard one.

Then Bailey files a complaint against the car dealership that somehow managed to keep his car for hours, “fix” it, and return it with the exact same problem. Naturally.

But this week’s listener complaints take the episode somewhere deeper.

Megan from Albuquerque is tired of being the person standing in her own way, watching people with half the preparation walk confidently into opportunities she’s been too afraid to pursue. Trevor from Georgia has the opposite complaint: he’s done shrinking his accomplishments to make other people comfortable.

Together, their stories spark a conversation about self-confidence, imposter syndrome, personal growth, celebrating your accomplishments, taking chances, and learning to take up the space you deserve.

This week on Disgruntled: surprises, moving announcements, U-Haul injuries, car dealership disasters, self-doubt, shameless bragging, and one important reminder:

Talk nice to yourself. Brag on yourself. Walk with confidence. Take up the space.

Episode 50: Life's a Hurdle in this Girdle

Life doesn't care if you're ready.

This week on Disgruntled, Bailey and Gill tackle the everyday frustrations that somehow become full-blown personality tests. From saying goodbye to a financially disastrous Dodge Charger to surviving rogue wasps, wedding RSVP disasters, awkward “How are you?” conversations, and TV volume determined to wake the entire neighborhood, nothing is safe from the complaint department.

Along the way, they celebrate real growth, question why adulthood feels like an Olympic event, swap concert stories from Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge, and remind everyone that sometimes the biggest victories come from admitting you were wrong.

If you've ever fought a yellow jacket, ignored an RSVP, cringed through small talk, or wondered why commercials are ten times louder than the actual show, this episode was made for you.

In this episode:

• Financial responsibility and learning from expensive mistakes
• Dodge Charger regrets and adult budgeting
• The psychology of asking “How are you?”
• Wedding RSVP etiquette
• Wasp encounters that deserved their own action movie
• Melissa Etheridge, Wynonna Judd, and discovering Madeline Edwards
• Roku and Netflix volume complaints
• Listener rants that prove you're definitely not alone

Episode 49: Trauma, Debt, & Paperwork

For the first time in almost a year of podcasting… we forgot to hit record.

That’s right. Gill delivered twenty minutes of absolute gold before Bailey realized absolutely none of it was being recorded. So naturally, they had to do it all over again. Somehow, it might’ve been even funnier the second time.

This week, Gill unloads everything from expired IUD appointments, impossible medical paperwork, and her dad’s never-ending car title nightmare to a cat that’s declared psychological warfare by peeing on her pillows. Bailey vents about Apple’s lazy innovation, accidentally matching a workplace theme day, and the unique experience of turning 29, where your birthday ends with heartburn instead of partying.

The episode also features a heartbreaking follow-up from a listener who confronted her cheating husband after writing into the show last week, proving that sometimes the hardest conversations are the ones that change your life.

Plus, the Complaint Department tackles scorching hot baseball games, the Taco Bell lettuce scare, and why adulthood feels like an endless stack of paperwork with a side of emotional damage.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by bureaucracy, relationships, medical appointments, debt, technology, or just being an adult, this episode is for you.

Topics in this episode:

• Funny podcast moments
• Relationship advice and infidelity
• Medical appointment frustrations
• Adulting struggles
• Debt and paperwork
• Workplace stories
• Apple and Siri complaints
• Taco Bell lettuce recall
• Cat owner problems
• Weekly rants
• Listener confessions
• Life in your late twenties

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the chaos, or the reminder that everyone is just trying to survive adulthood, welcome to Disgruntled. We saved you a seat. We just almost forgot to record it.
