    Me and Bri are back on bikes around an undisclosed part of Long Island, six months after we got frozen in a block of ice on Christmas. We talk about why Spielberg's new alien movie doesn't hit and what I call the illusion of wonder, why indie kids in their twenties write better people than legends do, the near-perfect misery of Obsession's ending, Bri getting her actual FAA remote pilot license and becoming a certified drone person, the fact that she has names for all of her apple boxes, the Sabbath problem with ordering from B&H, an old historical cemetery, a Polaroid we found on the ground, a Gen Alpha slang lesson where I explain unc and skibidi to someone younger than me, and the kid whose big brother had a taxidermied wolf in his bedroom. We also invent a new piece of slang: we're clouding.

    In this Episode we talk about our terrible taste in music, building summer playlists (and wedding playlist secrets Amanda won't share), the choreographed Snapchat dances from our old daily-video days, Amanda's $14,000 Amazon habit, her surprise 400-viewer TikTok stream, forgotten mushroom gummies and paranoia-inducing weed math, an old Spanish CD we found on our walk, summer goals (Amanda's attempting a cartwheel for the first time since childhood), the entire rise and fall of the BBL, Clavicular's disastrous nose job, and a deep dive into the horrifying but true fact that our drinking water carries trace amounts of everyone's medication — including, allegedly, Abraham Lincoln's piss.
