Extra Dirty with Hallie Batchelder
Episode: My College Roommate Exposes Me our wild college stories
Date: August 21, 2025
Guest: Margot (Hallie’s college roommate)
Episode Overview
This episode is a raunchy, hilarious trip down memory lane as Hallie reunites with her college roommate Margot for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred debrief of their wild years at Union College. The friends spill on chaotic parties, campus drama, hookup rosters, messy relationships, campus run-ins (with police, the administration, AND the parking authority), Greek life myths, summer escapades on Nantucket, and their advice for incoming college students. It’s a brutally honest, funny, sisterly roast and love letter about their formative years together—the friendships, the mistakes, the regrets, and the growth (with nothing left unsaid).

- Drink clear liquors—avoid Pink Whitney and Svedka.
- Balance partying and studying—but don’t save all your classes for senior year!

Notable Quote (on validation and growing up):
“Sometimes it’s a little fun to get underneath someone else, but it comes to a point where you’re numb to it. Self-reflection, being alone, patience with your healing journey. And that’s on period.”
