fair warning: I took an edible before filming this, so buckle up for some rambling about fidget toys, bicep curls, and the prohibition movement.

My college roommate Avery is on the pod! We talk about how she basically turned me gay, our wattpad fan fiction eras, seeing God on an edible, getting sketchy tattoos in New Orleans, hiding Aldi wine in Hydro Flasks, and why our big gay friend group is basically a commune. Plus: manifesting with Brad, decoy journals, and why you should put your phone down.
