Why do Americans think they're the only country that is "free?" I can do many things in Europe that I can't do in the USA. And what the hell is a 'Saturn Return' and why is it such a transformational time in our life? Talking of transformation, let's stop being scared of 30 - this age is full of new freedoms bébé! In this episode we cover all of this and more, featuring some of my closest friends from my childhood: Molly and Miriah!

Is there a point to life itself, or are we fooling ourselves by distracting ourselves with things like chasing success or love? Why are we so focused on appearing successful or looking for someone to love us - wouldn't that mean that we're prioritizing how others view us instead of how *we* view ourselves? Are big boobs worth it or just straight-up back pain? And why is it so hard to sit normally in this chair? If you're into exploring these kinds of questions and tHouGhT eXpEriMenTs then you're...

It's ELENNNNNNA and we're here to dive into financial education for people who are bored by finance. Why am I stashing all this money for retirement when I'mma be tired and crusty and not in tip-top shape to invest my money on travels around the world rIgHt nOw (at which point I'll be more interesting and more qualified and more world and could make *more* money at any given job?).

Y’all first off, can you tell us why we now procrastinate on things we once loved and fought so hard for? Ok so in this episode, I'm corrupting the tech and skateboarding sectors of YouTube by breaking into Sara Dietschy and John Hill's new loft and bringing the wine. If you've never been to Dallas, you should know that everyone deserves a glass of wine after one attempt at changing lanes on an 8-lane Dallas freeway, so in many ways, I feel like I'm not so much corrupting as I am *helping* them....

Once upon a time, Nasir sent a tweet and got a job at Shut Up and Go. 4 years later, here we are sipping and discussing why we all feel the desire to be liked by everyone...when *we* don't even like everyone? And why you would feel bizarre saying you're a wRiTeR but also, like, you've written for global publications, so you quite literally ARE a writer? Then we dive into Mediocrity™️...everyone agrees it's boring, but why are so few actually stepping beyond it? Then we go into the general dislik...

Let's get real: how do you actually initiate conversations with someone you don't know? Why is it that when you throw an 'ayyyy' in the circle, Parisians will look at you like you just stepped on their shoe? But most importantly, which one of us succeeded to seduce Arnaud the sexy French firefighter? Guest: Cassy Martinez

Anne is here to say everything no one else would! Do we like bad boys because it brings us drama which then makes us feel accomplished when we get through it? Why do the most life-changing things happen on that gap year or study abroad year? Is it better or worse to be heartbroken in Paris? Again, how is it that sometimes I feel that I, a dude from conservative Indiana, am the most liberal out of all my modern European friends? This is Episode 4 of 6 in the Summer Red Wine Talks series! Guest: A...

It’s the Summer Season of what? RED! WINE! TALKS! 6 Fridays in a row, baby! And this time it’s all about the Black Lives Matter movement, how if you’re black outside of the USA you’re not ‘african-american,’ how you have to add a disclaimer to every sentence in 2020, and least importantly, how i thought i would be turning 40 in 20 years.

Y’all asked for extended Red Wine Talks, and especially during this corona quarantine, so I asked my big-headed friend Paul to roast me for 39 minutes straight while we talked about everything from how to turn on a simple light at his house to feeling 100% comfortable in your skin whether you're black, white, gay, straight, etc. CUZ NONE OF US ASKED TO BE HERE ANYWAY. Guest: Paul Eulette.

Are you going to unsubscribe when you hear my unpopular opinion? How do you make friends when you're more introverted? Why did I ever do to Dominique's bodega man for him to hate me? Is there a heaven or hell and speaking of hell, what the hell is the point of life? Am I existential, or am I just drunk? All this and more in this Friday's Friday Night Red Wine Talk with one of my oldest friends from college in New York, Dominique. Guest: Dominique Boyer.

Are robots taking our jobs? Maybe they should? Are we all just working our a$$es off, just to keep working our a$$es off and how do we not find that completely LUDICROUS? And yes - that’s a word and not just a rapper. We cover that too. More topics include: Tokyo, being a vegetarian, and how people keep the TV on in the background because maybe, just maybe they’re afraid of actually getting to know themselves or finding out they don’t *really* enjoy their own company? Hmm? Triggered yet? It’s Fr...

Why did the waiter give my pink alcohol drink to Charline? Is it selfish to have kids just so you don’t feel alone when you’re 80? Why is my personality so damn boring when I speak another language? How can I even get mad that —this person didn’t text me, when I do the same thing to some people? So many questions, but what about the answers? LET’S FIND OUT! Guest: Charline Hallebard.

How can you get married so young, when you haven't been to a rave yet? Why won't this French dude respond to Ashley's DM? Who is the ultimate judge of morality? Are we just robots living in a society fueled by "productivity?" Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy more cheap red wine for another Friday Night Red Wine Talks - this time, with my girl Ashley from Best Dressed. Guest: Ashley, Best Dressed.

How crappy is it to date long-distance? What are French men like, really? Does the language we speak frame the way we see the world? And MOST IMPORTANTLY: is there any red wine left? Guest: Rosa Cecilia.

Are we just playin' ourselves when we act like we aren't attracted to other people when we're in a relationship? Will this red wine give us the answer? ALL THAT AND MORE all on Friday Night Red Wine Talks. No seriously, I wanna hear your opinions below! Guest: Malaika Nasimok.
