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.

  1. 1 DAY AGO

    Smell the flowers, blow out the candles, light your house on fire - Functional Freeze

    If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to work while experiencing global agony. I don't think this is what Darwin meant when he studied survival. The bar for the "fittest" is looking pretty low and pretty frozen these days.

    Party foul, my teeth are everywhere - Sharing Your Scandals

    It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.

    I do stand by all of it, but I forget that I say some of it out loud - DYSBT

    Since we have 4 more years of yelling into the abyss, we're assuming you won't mind if we go ahead and take the first 30 minutes to do a mental health check in before diving into an incredibly thorough DYSBT google doc. As much as we want to be all peepee, poopoo, hehe, haha- as people, we're not ready yet and we know some of you aren't yet either. So let's sit in those feelings for just a little bit and then let's listen to the out of context quotes that somehow didn't cancel us before today. Shoutout to our listener M (I actually don't know if I can share your name so lmk and I'll update it lol) for procrastinating on their paper and allowing us to rot for today's episode.

    Yelling into the abyss for almost 200 years - Herstory of Victoria Woodhull

    Regardless of when you listen, the day this episode goes live is election day and it isn't just any election day. Today is a day that could go down in history as the first time that the United States of America elect a woman into its highest office in the land. As we know, she isn't the first woman to run for president, but I think what might shock some of us is learning exactly when the first female was nominated to run for President of the United states. Would your shock reach new levels to know that it was during a time when she couldn't even vote herself? We're sharing the incredible herstory of Victoria Woodhull, the first female to run for president of the united states in the 1850's. You read that right - almost 200 years ago and we're still out here wait for that first Madam. Whether it is made today or another 200 years from now, history is happening and it is SO important to make your voice known. Make a plan and get out and VOTE!

    That’s a big responsibility that I didn’t mean to have - 5 Year Anniversary

    On this exact day, 5 years ago, we nervously hit launch on an episode titled "Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - The Salem Witch Trials," and our lives were changed forever. We always said that we would continue the podcast as long as it brought us joy, but we certainly didn't know just how much joy it would bring us. For half a decade, this hobby turned job turned passion has brought us across the country in front of thousands of our friends. It was given us opportunities to see and do things that we couldn't have ever even dreamed possible. We're forever grateful to the two nervous ladies who sat in their comfy pants one fall evening and hit record. We're grateful they hit upload and that they continued to show up week after week for themselves and now for you. You guessed it- those ladies were us. Now those ladies are struggling to continue talking in the third person, so to close out, we want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for the most incredibly fulfilling life. Thank you for the encouragement and the support, the grace and the love. Thank you for the friendship with and without interaction. As much as this is an opportunity to celebrate how far we've come, we hope you all will take moment to reflect on your own journey. Celebrate the growth and changes that you've made. Celebrate the parts of you that got you here as much as the parts you put to rest along the way. We're so proud of you. This anniversary is as much for you as it is for us, CHEERS TO 5 YEARS!

    I can't believe I stuck my finger down my throat for that - Game Night

    If you’ve ever considered making an episode a drinking game, let it be this one. We made it easy by spontaneously going down an astrology wormhole and repeatedly said the word astrocartography. We said it so much that it doesn’t feel like a real word. It also may not be a real word according to the red squiggly line that’s currently under it. Once we finished flirting with our AI spiritual guide, we cracked open a new game called Tell Me Without Telling Me and did our best to try to make cards that were labeled NSFW, SFW. Spoiler alert, we failed. It was still very much NSFW.

    Put your candle in this jack-o-lantern - Halloween Lore

    We can't confirm, but we may have set a new record with this episode. Our first full week home after tour proved to be full of life, laughter and October lagers and because of that, it took us approximately 60 minutes to get to the actual topic of this episode. We may be biased, but the first 60 are definitely worth the listen, so if you're a "skip ahead to the point" kind of listener...well, in the words of our pop princess Sabrina Carpenter, "just don't."
