A community for people who hate leaving the house but also want friendship. Talking about things we find fascinating or don't understand and almost certainly getting completely sidetracked along the way with well, tangents.

I'm talking about Abe Lincoln being controlled by a rat - Snapple Facts
We've been on the road quite a lot recently and decided it was time to slow things down and lighten the mood with an episode about Snapple Facts. Before getting into the silly, goofy time, Jeri has some updates for the L&T fam. She has seen the questions and comments and is catching everyone while also making some requests for future comments, questions and concerns. As always, we appreciate you giving us the space and opportunity to be humans, as well as being our friend while we do it. Be gentle with yourself and with us this season, everything is trying to come back to life and it takes time and a lot of work.

Stop oogling my boogles - The Male Gaze
This week Ciara decided to delve deep into the history of a term that has been floating around social media for awhile now. And by delve deep, we mean she found a few articles and decided to use that to strike up a conversation about something she knows nothing about. The male gaze was a term coined in the 1970s but we know it’s actually been around for honestly, probably the beginning of time. Join us in getting mad and also inappropriate for the majority of this episode, and please come into it with an open mind and remember that we do not now and have not ever known anything.

Grieve the person you thought they’d become, and then move on - Hey Ladies
We did a Q&A a few weeks ago and heard how upset you were that we skipped the Hey Ladies questions- well we hope you're happy. We've devoted an entire episode to giving you arguably terrible, but very much solicited advice. Once again, we don't know dick about shit and don't advise anyone ever do what we say- unless it turns out well; then you tell people we told you to do it.

I didn’t want anything, but I certainly didn’t want a fish - Red & Green Flags
This week we dug deep in the L&T files for a highly requested episode and asked you all for your “red flags” and “green flags”. Whether it’s a romantic, familial or work relationship - we’ve all experienced that spidey sense that tells our gut whether we vibe with certain people or not. As always please take these as the opinions they are and nothing more - we have never wanted you to listen to us and we hope you never will.

I really honestly gave you guys a try, and I was fully sold during the Salem witch episode when I heard you say how you hated Halloween 😂! All jokes aside, love you gals, loved the 200th episode! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!
Adult friendships
This is by far my favourite podcast. I recommend these girls to anyone who asks for podcast suggestions. I’ve been listening to them since almost the beginning, and it has been a pleasure and an honour to listen to them grow over the last three years. Love you ladies so much- you’ve inspired me to start my own podcast ♥️ keep growing, babes. And come to Nova Scotia!
