Picture this: the year is 2006, and Disney's three-episode crossover series 'That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana' is releasing its first episode at 8/7 central, and you're SAT, ready to witness a piece of history.

James and I take to the podcast to nerd out over iconic crossover episodes, spiral over the sensation of an itch, and pick apart some truly cursed celebrity endorsements.

P.S. This marks the end of season 9, we’ll return in August! Until then, join us on Substack for monthly bonus episodes to tide you over. ;)

We're all secretly afraid that our kids will be losers, and listen, I'm here to tell you that if that happened to me? I wouldn't talk to him either!

James and I jump on the podcast to toast to bar games (think pool, darts, shuffleboard, yktv!!!), lament the fact that our thousand-dollar pocket computers require protective gear just to survive, and side-eye parents who let their kids wear AirPods during family time.

Picture this: The year is 2025 and you're making the active choice to jump back on the reading train after it dawns on you that you've forgotten how to do anything besides watch TV. Sound familiar? If so, you're safe here!

Grace and I take to the podcast to celebrate Chelsea Handler's new book, I'll Have What She's Having, recoil at the thought of receiving an out-of-pocket text (examples included), and pay homage to all of the grown men who have ugly cried to the national anthem ahead of the Big Game™️.

Did you grow up playing computer games?  Did you base your friendships on whoever had the best internet connection? Did your parents take money out of your allowance so that you could be a member of both Club Penguin and RuneScape? Well, you're in luck, because Annie and I can very much relate! Tune in to this week's pod to listen to us reminisce on our early friendship, divulge our elementary school crushes, and dive into our neighborhood shenanigans!

For someone who works in social media, I admittedly have absolutely no idea how to be online. I can’t remember how to Instagram, I still don’t know how to Tiktok, I’m on BeReal for some reason, and I’ve recently developed social media anxiety? Cute and hot! James and I take to the pod to discuss the crushing reality of existing online whilst trying to promote our various projects, the irony of online critics (haters make us famous!), and more—join in!

Something that nobody’s talking about is that it’s actually really brave to sit next to someone at the airport. Personally, I would never be caught dead doing something like that, but to each their own! Desperate for more airport etiquette by yours truly? You’re in luck! I just got back from a work trip and I saved all of the juicy details just for you, tune in!

Did you know that during the weekend you’re supposed to spend as little time at home as humanly possible? That’s right, Saturday and Sunday are for leaving the house and never returning. You literally can’t go home until Monday, if you do you’ll probably light on fire! Anyway, here’s what’s been keeping us busy on the weekends when we leave the house.

Most of the time you plan your little events and your trips and your dinners with friends and life is good, other times you have a quick menty-b and dissociate at work while looking at memes about having your rights stripped away, it’s called BALANCE. Ironically, the week that I return from my unplanned podcasting hiatus just so happens to be National Mental Health Awareness Week, perhaps a sick joke? But in all seriousness, let this little ep be a reminder to take care of yourselves because, life? She’s messy—okay? Lysm! xx

The #1 rule that I live by is this: If you consume three or more specialty beverages within a short period of time, that automatically means you’re having a good day. And just so we’re crystal clear, water is not a beverage. We’re not here for hydration, we’re just here to sip our little drinks and be merry. It’s simple really. What else are we drinking? We’re drinking the Shonda Rhimes Koolaid, honey! Confused? So are we! Oh, by the way, we’re moving to Chicago! xx

Hobbies are exhausting. I know because I have one, it’s this podcast, and I’m literally tired all the time. Now just imagine having enough hobbies to own and operate 17 [seventeen] different Instagram accounts. This week on the pod, I’m joined by my internet acquaintance turned real-life friend Sigra to chat about all of her various avocations which range from bands to bugs. She’s 10x more interesting than I’ll ever be, so trust me—you won’t want to miss this one besties!
