    Gaslight, Gatekeep(er), Girlboss

    Hey there boss babes, and welcome back to another episode of Useless, where you can be your OWN stay at home CEO. All it takes is an initial investment of $300, your first born child, and annoying everyone you went to highschool with to join your pyramid scheme xoxo. Nora and Kevin had a BLAST this week, covering the illustrious Rockin Roller Coast, Cedar Point, as well as a secret ~mystery theme~ (I promise Kevin will reveal it by the end of the episode!). Buckle those seatbelts, hold on tight, and start your own "small" "business" as we take you on another Useless journey! Also, we would like to OFFICIALLY welcome Katie to the show, working as our editor and assisting us with various aspects of the pod!! You'll meet her in future episodes, but everyone give a big shoutout to the reason the pod is able to continue!!! If you like what we do and wanna be on the show, record a short intro and send it in!

    American Horror Story: Wonka Train

    Hey everyone! Welcome back to Useless! This week we celebrate one of the best holidays, Aprils fools! Nora and Kevin have been feeling a little under the weather, so sorry if our audio sounds a little.... different than normal! For this episode, Kevin discusses Snowpiercer and it's ties to a beloved cult classic, while Nora tells a tale of all the haunted movie sets you can fathom. You've heard of christmas in July, now get ready for Halloween in April! If you like what we do and wanna be on the show, record a short intro and send it in!

Not only did this give them the much needed permission to fully roast us, but it gave Kevin and Nora a much needed respite from recording, as Kevin is drowning in school and Nora is currently moving back to Ohio!!

    Hey everyone! Welcome back to Useless! This week we really can't CONtain our enjoyment as we CONvey our thoughts on TanaCon and DashCon. With Tana failing to CONsult anyone to help her, and the ball pit being an area of CONcern, we ask ourselves "What Went Wrong?".

    Food Fighters

    Hi and Welcome back to Useless! This week, if you can't handle the heat then get out of the kitchen as Kevin and Nora explore the Cheese Vaults and the Pork Lobbies. Cuddle up like a pig in a blanket and listen to Nora get a little cheesy while Kevin goes hog wild over lobbyists. Ever wonder why bacon is everywhere? Have you considered what it would be like to see a mound of cheese the size of a (small) mountain? Do you like running through lobbies?   This week we're also introducing a new style of episode intro! If you like what we do and wanna be on the show, record a short intro and send it in!
