    ASL: We’re Not Fluent, Just Curious (Respectfully!!)

    Episode 27 - In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, Danny surprises Erin and brings in our friend Amy, who takes us on a deep dive into the rich, expressive world of American Sign Language (ASL). **Before we begin, we want to be clear: we are not Deaf or hard of hearing, and we’re not experts. This episode comes from a place of curiosity, respect, and a desire to learn, not to speak over the Deaf community or present ourselves as authorities. With that in mind, Amy guides us through the history of ASL, how its grammar and structure differ from spoken English, and the nuances that make it a fully realized language (not just “English with hand motions,” as we quickly learn). We also explore etiquette, common misconceptions, and some of the ongoing conversations and controversies within and around the Deaf community. Think of this episode as three friends sitting at the edge of something vast and important, asking questions, getting things wrong occasionally, and trying to understand better as we go. **FOLLOW US! We will release a historical video of the two of us that will either be cute or really cringe or maybe both, but only WHEN we reach 500 followers on one platform. So please like and subscribe!

    You Will Be Found (Obsessed): The Ben Platt Episode

    Episode 26: Ben Platt What does it take to become the voice of a generation — and then have everyone turn around and argue about it? This week, Erin's hyperfixation is Ben Platt: a kid who grew up performing, became a Broadway legend before 25, and made the world cry every single night as Evan Hansen. We're getting into his full history, his impact on musical theater, the controversies that followed one of his most iconic roles, and what he's got coming next. Danny had no idea this was coming, and honestly? Neither did we. Pull up a seat, we're Waving Through a Window, because this one's got range — just like Ben. *Trigger Warning* - This episode discusses suicide. Please listen with care. **FOLLOW US!

    The Five Love Languages: Fact, Fiction, or Somewhere In Between?

    Episode 24 - Are Love Languages a breakthrough, or just astrology for people in relationships? This week on Hyperfixation Time, we dig into what this wildly popular framework gets right, what it oversimplifies, and how it shows up in our real lives. From acts of service to words of affirmation, we talk about how we try to love, how we want to be loved, and why those two things don’t always line up.**FOLLOW US!

    When Standing is a Sport: Living with POTS

    Episode 22: What if simply standing up felt like sprinting a mile? In this episode of our POTScast...(get it?), we have our first guest presenter! Erin invited her sister, Dr. Katie who is an expert in POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) to unpack a condition that turns everyday movements into full-body events. We explore what POTS actually is, how it affects the nervous system, why it’s often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and what daily life looks like for people living in dysregulated bodies that don’t follow the rules. This isn’t a medical lecture. It’s a human story about invisible illness, resilience without romanticizing suffering, and what it means to live in a body that operates on a different operating system. We talk symptoms, neuroscience, stigma, coping tools, impacts, and the quiet strength of navigating a world that expects you to function like nothing’s wrong. Because sometimes survival looks like sitting down.And sometimes bravery looks like standing up anyway. **FOLLOW US!

    Pop Punk’s Loud, Messy, Beautiful Era (2000s - 2010s ish)

    Episode 20 - Pop punk didn’t just soundtrack the 2000s, it rewired an entire generation. From Warped Tour parking lots to MySpace top eights, this era turned power chords, emotional chaos, and eyeliner into a cultural movement. Some of us may still be missing that era and continuing to try and bring out the 15 year old "goth" or "emo" side of them... (*spoiler - both Danny and Erin still are.) In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, we dive into how pop punk exploded from scrappy punk roots into a chart-topping, Hot Topic dominating force. We’re talking Death Cab for Cutie, Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Panic! at the Disco, All Time Low, and all the beautifully dramatic feelings they made socially acceptable to scream in public. We unpack why these songs hit so hard, how the scene became an identity instead of just a genre, and what led to its slow fade from the mainstream in the 2010s. If you ever posted cryptic song lyrics as a Facebook status, owned at least one studded belt, or still get chills when the guitar kicks in on your favorite emo anthem, this one’s for you. Plug in. Cry a little. Hyperfixate responsibly. **FOLLOW US!
