I said let their be freckles, brother - Redhead Myths

What do vampires, mermaids, the devil, aphrodite and eve (yes, apple eating eve) have in common? They're all allegedly redheads. The lore of these locks dates back longer than we realized and allegedly originated in a lost city. Is this a historical episode highlighting the myths told over time or is this the ultimate redhead roast? We'll let you be the judge.

I’m disgusting on the inside - Understanding BPD

This episode was somewhat of an accident We don't always know what our triggers are but over the last few years, when they've been activated, we decide to lean in and ask questions to understand ourselves and each other better. Because this was an impromptu episode, this isn't a deep dive into BPD or an episode with any resources. This may be something we revisit in the future, but for now please enjoy two life long best friends trying to understand wtf is going on. Learn more about your ad choi...

Hate it, I don’t care, I’m having a great time - Spotlight Effect

Do you ever walk into a room and feel like all eyes are on you? Do you feel like you immediately know what they're thinking, and that it's inevitable negative? Turns out you're not the only one. So many of us believe we're being watched that social psychology developed a name for the phenomenon, the Spotlight Effect.

If you love someone, let them go, if they come back something something - Calypso

Morning, sleepyhead! If you've been living on an island for 100 years, you may not know that a little thing called Epic the Musical exists in the world as a concept album and has reignited our interest in greek mythology. The musical covers events from the a little piece of literature known as The Odyssey, but the real star of the show is our girl, Calypso. Can't wait to tell you all about her and our other girl crush, Athena, and her big grudge energy. RESOURCES- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Beautiful pink pretty little intestines - Mental Health Check In

Ciara's back from her honeymoon and is ready to share what's been going on for the last month.

The Alien Holiday - April Fools

We talk a lot about our generation and the generations after us being so unserious, but have we ever considered how unserious EVERY generation has had to have been to make April Fools one of the oldest and most widely celebrated holidays? Whether you're seran wrapping toilets, placing "kick me" signs on your foe's back or filling donuts with toothpaste instead of cream- we wish you fools the happiest day of shenanigans that April herself can provide.

On today's episode, we decided to finally find out why the rest of the world makes such a big deal out of February 2nd. Turns out, it's way more fun than we thought. You may know about Phil, but are you aware of his knob or his rival Trash Heap Chuck? Ok, that's not his name, but he is Phil's rival and for that reason alone we've got beef with him. WE'...

It's Kentucky Fried Christmas - Christmas Around the World

There's a very good chance that the traditions shared in this episode have been covered in years past. Luckily for the two idiots on the couch, our minds resemble those of gold fish and we often forget what we've discussed on here.

So dead, so poopy, so Ladies & Tangents - Holiday Scandals

The title of this episode is somewhat misleading- not the so poopy so dead part, that's actually bizarrely accurate but if you're having trouble figuring out how those things connect to the holidays, know you're not alone. Ciara typed *christmas* into the email search bar and for whatever reason, death was a central theme. While poop wasn't mentioned as much, it still is our podcast so there's no world where we don't have a poop story correlate with whatever word we type into the search bar. Whe...
