Our lady lawyer, Carolyn Conrad; Derek Kroeger; Sue Madore; manager and hypeman extraordinaire, Ricky Rollins; Debbie DeCorte; Elena Garcia, a.k.a. the OG LadyGanger; Norm Pattiz, a.k.a. Daddy Normbucks; Kit Gray, a.k.a. the man who fields all of our emotional emails like a champ; Peter Morris and the entire kick-ass sales team at PodcastOne.

Something Social’s Calli Choldonenko, Erin Dykstra, and Amanda Apgood. Our funny friend Justin Martindale; Wesley Bird, for her badass illustrations; Alexandra Ingber, for being the only person who actually knows what they are doing and has the lists to prove it. Ket Nejat-Thompson for making us sound a little less dumb. And lastly, thank you to the LadyGang community worldwide. You are the LadyGang. Without you we’d just be three lone LadyLosers.
BECCA: To Zach, for letting me exploit, humiliate, and make fun of myself in front of the entire world and never asking me to stop. To my sister, Jessica, for always answering my calls and making me feel normal no matter what. To Orly, you are my everything. Lastly, to my parents, who let me curse and chase my dreams without doubting my ability.
KELTIE: To Chris, the most private person in the entire world, whose life got blown open when he met me. Thank you for laughing at the pathetic human being I was, and at all the terrible choices I made before your love made me cool, and for loving my workaholic tendencies. To my parents and brother, for never listening to our podcast; and finally to my Emmy Award, for being the reason I get up every day.
JAC: To my parents, for being my best friends in the entire world, for boldly supporting every crazy life venture I have ever taken on, and for putting on invisible earmuffs when listening to our podcast and coming to our shows (you’re not a regular mom and dad; you’re a cool mom and dad). I am SO proud to be your daughter. To all of the assholes I dated, for treating me like garbage and teaching me how to fully appreciate my person when I found him. To Jared, for loving me fearlessly, and for letting me roast him every day.
