5 - Planets

What’s up Weeklings. This week SRT and SRG dive deep in many direction. Listen as the duo offers live updates and commentary on the world’s ever growing population. SRG gets into therapy talk, SRT talks getting swol, the pair break down texting etiquette, and they both share even more tales of elementary school moments. Above all, we have a planets talk. Big ones, small ones, smouldering ones, and some that don’t quite make the cut (I’m looking at you Pluto).

4 - A Short History of Makeup

Shoutout if you’re here reading this because SRG told you to. You’re the real MVP. This episode SRG discusses a weird consumerist dream, SRT talks her elementary school ghost club, and both share fond memories of winning prizes. SRG breaks down a very condensed and limited history of makeup. and we talk about how miserable non-binary candy is all we deserve. Shoutout to the orange M&M who has been selected as OWAT’s person of the year.

3 - Bonnie and Clyde

SRT and SRG try to sell you hot pocket perfume, slippers for cats, trucks, and Little Caesars. We make the cutest lil lists, look at a crazy fuckin’ big scary otter, and say some gross shit. There is a lot of laughing that makes some sense after years of carefully and lovingly built friendship, but we think you can enjoy it too. SRT schools SRG on the worlds fanciest crime couple, Bonnie and Clydie! And you know what they say: “Some days are tomato, some days are tomahhtoe. And some days are tomorrow.”

SRT and SRG have the biggest surprise for you. Bigger than a puppy on Christmas. Bigger than a mouse in your shoe. Bigger than Mariah Carey coming to your neighbours engagement party. Listen, and I mean listen for this HOT HOT HOT content. We also talk about how The Big Bang is G.O.A.T., What you would do if you found out you were The Patriarchy embodied, and SRT reveals herself to be a Tube Earther. Oh.. and also we touch on every Eon of Geological History that has ever existed…..And yah we know this is a bit like Atlantis but don’t lose your shorts. We will talk about Selling Sunset soon.
