Last week, a serene and joyful lake house right outside Geneseo, New York was visited for the last time. Darcy and her extended family packed up the furniture and moved out. Sigh. To make matters worse, Darcy’s grandmother served up a little criticism that allegedly had been cooking for years. It did not taste good. On this episode, we discuss how to sit through feedback in the name of self-improvement. Then, to remedy the pains of being assessed, we assess some things. Cue some good old fashioned hot seat style cultural analysis that runs the gamut, from childhood vegetables to the city of Los Angeles. Wish us luck.

Topics included: what your use of eye contact says about you, maternal fighting tactics, theories on why Pete Davidson is so irresistible, a class action lawsuit against Abercrombie & Fitch, Drake’s deep love for The Cheesecake Factory.

If you want to be my lover, you gotta be Jon Stewart. Silver fox alert. This week we discuss the role of recreational sports in our collegiate and then post-collegiate lives and beg the question: must we join a rec frisbee golf league to meet someone new? Oy. Next, we’ll unpack our running habits and our running emotions: Is running about feeling like you’re in the movie Rocky or is it about meditating? Or both? Then, we’ll take a dip into the thoughts that scare us the most. Cool and fun but mostly really fun. And cool. Finally, we argue over which talk show host is the hottest. Yes, this is a highly anticipated topic. No, we don’t agree. Hint: Stephan Colbert goes unmentioned despite his competitive standing. Also included for your listening pleasure is a rendition of one of Youtube’s forgotten anthems. We aren’t the greatest British girl band of the 90s and early 2000s but we are two zellenials who like to go jogging.

Topics included: Functionalities of your frontal lobe, the silent double standard of Jimmy Fallon, the dishwasher as an emotional tool, budgets for college short films, not going to school for business etc.

Loneliness is a pillar of twenty somethings, a staple of a pandemic, and a ramification of the age of the internet. Rainie’s socially distanced bumble date turns on its head, predominantly due to the lengthy list of assumptions she’d made prior. But can you blame her? Assumptions and disappointment are online dating’s most consistent accessories. Darcy ruminates on the importance of owning what you want romantically and the escapism mechanisms we use to remedy feelings of loneliness in our twenties. Then, a game of Under/ Over has us rating pressing topics across culture from Hamilton to Elon Musk. This week, we’re here to make you feel a little less alone, one take at a time.

Topics Included: Beta males, repressing your own relationship desires, the art of indifference, solo trips to movie theaters, singledoms, maple syrup
