    S8E6: Wait! Don’t Copy & Paste!

    Gaslight. Gatekeep. Ragebait. The words didn’t even exist in our daily vocab until the internet shoved them down our throats. Just like D.C. nightlife — same bars, same playlists, same DJs, same “new” bar that closes in six months. In this episode, NuNu Paris & Raffi ask: are we living in a copy-paste culture where nothing feels fresh anymore? It’s messy, it’s current, it’s cultural—welcome to Wait! Don’t Copy & Paste!

    S8E5: Wait! Don't Wear Crocs! (w/ The Blonde Cat Lady)

    Crocs? We’ve worn them. We’ve judged them. And sometimes… we’ve defended them. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi bring in fashion storyteller Dani (@the_Blonde_cat_lady, theblondecatlady.com) to settle the ultimate debate: are Crocs a crime against fashion—or the underdog hero of footwear? From runway-ready collabs that cost more than your rent to the questionable charm of those little shoe charms, we’re unpacking why Crocs keep crawling back into our closets… and our hearts. Is it irony, peak comfort culture, or just a collective cry for help? Plus, Dani puts us to the test in Croc or Not?, the game that proves some fashion crimes can’t be unseen. If you’ve ever side-eyed a stranger’s shoes, worn something “ugly-cute” on purpose, or just need an excuse to justify your comfort obsession—this one’s for you. Don’t trip… unless you’re in platform Crocs. 💡 “Fashion is pain. Crocs are… whatever the opposite of pain is.” Subscribe now and follow @nunupariss, @waitraffi & @the_Blonde_cat_lady on IG! 🎧 Listen to the FULL episode and all past seasons on Apple Podcasts & Spotify: http://linktr.ee/waitdontdoit 💖

    S8E4: Wait! Don't Crash Out!

    Chaos? We’ve lived it. We’ve dodged it. And sometimes… we’ve caused it. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi break down how to keep your cool when the universe, politics, and your social calendar are all trying you at once. From Mercury Retrograde turning texts into disasters, to Trump’s DC takeover feeling like a low-budget horror sequel, to the whiplash of going from Market Days glitter to back-to-reality blues, we’re unpacking how to survive the chaos without becoming the villain in your own story. Is it all bad luck—or are we just living through Freakier Friday? Plus, we test our composure in two games: Chill or Spill?, where we decide if wild scenarios deserve zen energy or full dramatics, and DC or Dictator?, the shocking trivia game that proves truth is stranger than fiction. If you’ve ever been ghosted during retrograde, rerouted by the National Guard, or just felt like life had you in the splash zone—this one’s for you. Don’t lose your cool… unless it’s funny. 💡 “In retrograde, even your patience is in reverse.” Subscribe now and follow @nunupariss & @waitraffi on IG! 🎧 Listen to the FULL episode and all past seasons on Apple Podcasts & Spotify: http://linktr.ee/waitdontdoit 💖

From mumbo sauce to metro mess, from queer culture to the loss of Chocolate City, this episode is a love letter and a warning to anyone dreaming of a D.C. zip code. Tune in for hot takes, hometown pride, and two games that’ll have you screaming “IYKYK.” Subscribe now and follow @nunupariss & @waitraffi on IG! 🎧 Listen to the FULL episode and all past seasons on Apple Podcasts & Spotify: http://linktr.ee/waitdontdoit 💖

    S8E2: Wait! Don't Take It Personally!

    Rejection? We’ve felt it. We’ve feared it. And we’ve definitely taken it personally—until now. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi get real about the sting of rejection and how to bounce back with grace, delusion, and a little glitter. From not getting cast in dream roles (NuNu, we're hugging you) to being passed over in D.C.’s nightlife and fitness scenes, we unpack what it means to be told “no” as queer POC in our 30s. Is rejection always a bad thing—or is it protection in disguise? Plus, we take rejection for a spin in “Reject or Respect?”, a messy game where we judge questionable behavior and unhinged dating profiles like our healing depends on it (because it kind of does). If you’ve ever been ghosted, benched, or professionally overlooked, this one’s for you. Don’t let the “no” stop your glow. 💡 “Rejection is redirection.” Subscribe now and follow @nunupariss & @waitraffi on IG! 🎧 Listen to the FULL episode and all past seasons on Apple Podcasts & Spotify: http://linktr.ee/waitdontdoit 💖
