    Just a Fun Chat with Liam and Summer!

    Welcome to the most unscripted, unfiltered, and utterly random episode of iDulting yet! Your favorite college chaos coordinators, Summer (The Overthinker) and Liam (The Vibe Setter), ditch the serious topics and existential dread for an hour of pure, aimless fun. Armed only with a bowl full of absurd questions pulled from the depths of the internet (and maybe a few they wrote themselves at 3 AM), Summer and Liam dive headfirst into the trivial, the bizarre, and the delightfully meaningless. In this episode, you’ll hear them debate, confess, and laugh over: Random chats and conversations ⏰ Time Travel Dilemmas: If you could only witness one historical event without changing it, what would it be?🍜 Fast Food Philosophies: Which dipping sauce is the undisputed MVP? (Prepare for a passionate argument.)This episode is the perfect background noise for studying, cleaning, or just remembering that "iDulting" sometimes means being an idiot for an hour with your friend.
