To celebrate 300 episodes of the podcast, Matt and Shelby are answering listerner questions from our loyal fans. What are their real jobs? What are there favorite movies? Why are they still hosting this podcast nearly seven years later? The answers are within.
Shelby did not get into Candid Campus Couture and Matt did not have a poster of Megan Fox in his dorm, but they still related to a lot of the millenial cringe going on in Overcompensating Season 1. Plus who doesn't want to hear Matt discuss being straight in college and Shelby try not to be homophobic during pride month?

Shelby is still older than Matt and in honor of her turning another year more ancient, we're discussing her favor genre of movies: disaster flicks and more specifically those starring Gerard Butler. From terrorists destroying the White House to dragons destroying gardens to Xerxes destroying 300 Spartans, there's a lot of disaster to go around. But maybe the greatest disaster of all is Gerard Butler's career? Let's unpack.
After some technical difficulties, we're delivering last week's main episode this week instead. Halfway through recording our episode on the latest Hunger Games book, Matt's audio cut out, so we re-recorded the back half of the episode. However, that means there are some points we discuss twice in this episode and some we don't hit on at all. May the odds ever be in your favor as you piece through this episode, and we'll be back in a few weeks when Shelby returns from her Japanese vacation....
