Definitely not safe for work and definitely not safe if you get squirmy about gross body stuff. In this week's episode we learn what makes Jenn pass out and what makes Rachel want to throw up. Also shocker, being pregnant is not all rainbows and butterflies and turns out that is a common experience. Want to get Jenn a gift for baby boy? She made a registry just for our Citizens! Jenn's Registry
We missed you! And each other. To make up for being gone for so long, this week's episode shares some exciting news! We also go through a lot of fun citizen updates. Make sure to comment your thoughts for a chance to be featured!
We go deep on the pros and cons of sharing salary information and how it impacts employee morale, the business as a whole, and friendships. Do your friends know how much money you make? Would you tell them? Does your workplace share salary information? Does that change how you act at work? We have so many questions! Also, how does tenure work? Someone please tell us.
Remember when Rachel said she signed up for a Mud Run? Well, she followed through and completed it! Learn all about how it went, where mud is still stuck, and if she'd do it again. Also, Jenn finally gets an ice maker!
Rachel goes to Bulgaria! And other things.
Rachel comes across a theory about Gatorade flavors that brings up the topic of sick days in childhood. Turns out the experience was very different for both hosts. We also go on a tangent about donuts and a new app Rachel is obsessed with.
Is this episode about the world's two favorite things? Maybe, maybe not, but it's high up there for Jenn. This week we talk about something big in Jenn's live that happened a few years ago that has yet to be discussed on the pod. We also go deep into the best grocery store cookie, the most expensive cookie, and a gross way to eat Oreos. Show notes: Last Crumb cookies: https://lastcrumb.com/...
Intriguing title, right? This week we dive into a new news headline about "fart walks" (yes, it is what you think it is) and have lots of thoughts! We also discuss the age old question of "if you could know when you would die, would you want to know?" The question stems from a book Rachel is reading called "The Measure" - an interesting thought discussion!

Thank you notes seem to be pretty controversial. Hm, well, maybe just by generation. This episode goes deep into thank you note culture as well as snail mail in general. We discuss when a thank you note is important, how long you should keep them, sending holiday cards (and how long you keep those) and more. Oh, we also get some more citizen feedback on the right way to do your business in the woods - the more you know!
This title is a little misleading because this episode is actually a catch up between friends and not about ketchup the condiment - but we do mention ketchup so it's not a total lie. This week we "catch up" on our lives since it's been a while since we've seen each other and lot of things have happened. We also talk about our weekend "vibe" when we're staying in (which is most of the time).
Jenn is about to go ...camping?! We are both as shocked as you are. This week we discuss how she’ll prep, the magic of a campfire chat and lots of other great stuff I can’t remember as I’m typing this so it will be a nice surprise for all of us.
A random news story stirs up an interesting dialog around family “relationships”. It's obviously not okay right...or is it? Also, what is the difference between second cousins and a cousin once removed?
Who is more competitive - Rachel or Jenn? The answer probably doesn’t surprise you. Both hosts have feelings on what defines being too competitive and how that differs from sports, to work, to friendships.

Another “jar” pull this week - we get into how our sense of fashion and style has changed in the last decade. We also get into Jenn’s taste in men, Rachel’s tirade against low rise jeans, and what our favorite fashion decade is.
This week we talk about the Richmond water crisis which ironically leads us to how we’d do in an apocalypse . Despite Jenn’s “elite-ness” she would be a burden , Rachel would try and keep spirits high , but both are pretty OK with not pushing through . Also, Vikings , the prison system, and witches ?
Happy New Year, Citizens ! We’re excited to welcome 2025 with you. This week we catch up about our holiday break - what we read , what we gifted and what we watched . We also chat pod plans for the new year and goals we have for ourselves.
