“…she’s a writer, and she’s so fucking annoying … she’s constantly being like ‘wah I have writer’s block, oh my gosh I have a paid to-do, I’m just going to go out instead'‘… that’s definitely something to make sure not to be…basically this girl is just really annoying, she’s just constantly talking about how she’s a writer, and constantly talking how hard writing is.” This is our first caption by Maddie and also a direct quote from this episode.
Sometimes, after spending what feels like an eternity contorting yourself into uncomfortable positions and poses, it’s important to find a way to let a little air in, and then slowly let it out. Let us listen for the collective out breath. I am of course talking about the important psychological work it takes to reflect on the internalized homophobia that can continue to exist in our lives long after we come out. What did you think I was talking about? This is queer content, Q-U-E-E… (read more)...
Because Lucky is dead and he couldn’t see it coming. Meanwhile, Annie’s love life is still tbd. Maddie needs some convincing to get back in therapy, but I’d like to make the case that paying eleven dollars for an eight ounce cup of matcha is a sign of psychosis. In her own fit of nervousness, Annie is up all night to get some new insight into her anxiety, much to Scheckel’s chagrin. It’s Annie’s first week back in her new hometown, New York, and it’s Maddie’s last week of freedom. or so she thou...
This is the story of the sly slippery slurper, who one Sunday silently slurped her soda while staring sullenly at her - and I’m done with this ruse. Maddie really loves to slurp her coke, but she’s willing to try a different way in the company of good friends. On this episode we talk about Maddie’s upcoming album and Annie’s new life as a fully self-aware writer. Neither one of them is getting paid for their art, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spend money on a good cactus slapping every once in ...
Well, friends, we’re back. 2018 went by in the blink of no podcasts, but we’re here with completely new lives and the same old girlfriends. With a newfound dedication to our regularly scheduled programming, Maddie and Annie are going to be updating you on their lives, which are more exciting than ever. Here’s something new: this episode is live in the flesh, and it turns out Annie can’t handle the intimacy of direct eye contact. Get the low down on Maddie Ross’ US tour (around the entire country...
HELLO LSF family!!!! Maddie here. How I've missed you! I'm incredibly excited to announce my new podcast, Everybody's Braindead. I love love love talking to Annie every single week, and we will definitely be doing more podding in the future, but I also wanted to share with you some of the cool conversations I have with people I've met here in LA. I try to interview the least braindead ones I can find. It would mean so much to me if you checked out my new podcast, and as an added incentive, my ve...
Sounds sophomoric, I know, but anything would be funnier than Annie's stand-up set this weekend. Maddie urges Annie to keep the artistic dream alive, even as Maddie, herself, allows her dream for a lucrative plant-sitting career to wilt and die. If this episode went a little over time, it's because Maddie has been living alone for the longest period of time in her entire life and Siri just doesn't quite understand her.
woven complexly from fine virgin leg hair. Bear witness to the emotional process of losing one's leg cast. In another part of the world, Maddie celebrates love with other people who are also in love and it's just so great that everyone has love. I love it.
Maddie has an awakening as a performer while Annie crashes and burns. Either way it's hot hot hot!
A group breath at the end of Shavasana of course! There's nothing explicit about these Oms folks! Maddie's encounter with a Facebook misogynist troll, on the other hand, is pretty f***ed up.
Maddie wakes up from a hot summer nap seeing rainbows, munchkins, and her dear Auntie Ann filling out magazine subscriptions left and right. Meanwhile, back in Topeka, Annie explores amateur film making as a sure sign of her impending quarter life crisis.
Then you must not be talking about Annie or Maddie. Welcome back listeners! We're glad you're here because we really need someone to listen to us. Maddie talks the highs and lows of being a Billboard artist. Karma claps back at Annie for that time she overdramatized a toenail injury. A toenail for god's sake.
If you assumed this title was a reference to Annie's lasting struggle with her international travel parasite, well, you'd be an attentive listener, but you'd be wrong. We learned more than we thought we would about porn this week. There's an award show and everything!
***Please note, that if you previously downloaded an episode 14, it might have had the wrong audio track, this duplicate is just for those that have automatic downloading turned on and might not have gotten the update*** You know what they say about assumptions. Listen as Maddie and Annie manage to offend basically every single person in America this week. Then we do the important work of calling ourselves out. Hopefully we'll manage to crawl out from under this rocks for next week's episode.
Annie gains a window into the tender relationship between two sisters. We put Maddie's past traumas on the table and cut it open with a razor-edged scalpel. We talk about Mackie's wedding, Maddie's hypothetical wedding, and the dark hole in Annie's life where love used to live.
If you’ve felt betrayed by our constant plugging of various products, you’re going to feel damn right stabbed in the back when you realize this whole season has been long-form marketing scheme for our personal brands. Maddie releases her new single, “You’re Still My Sugar,” sponsored by LSF, which is still sponsored by the one and only Passion Planner. Phew thank god we can stop pretending to be podcasters or gay or even friends!
In times like this we remember a quintessential Mean Girls quote: "I don't hate you because you're fat; you're fat because I hate you." This podcast may have 600 followers now (based on unsophisticated data analysis), but Annie's convinced that no one likes her. Maddie makes Annie read aloud some really sad text messages about her cripplingly low self-esteem. Somehow we still find a way to laugh about it as we talk emotional breakdowns and Maddie provides the secret to emotional stability. You d...
Annie makes her first endorsement of the season: Frosted Mini Wheats. As a result, Annie spends the first 10 minutes of this episode crunching away in blissful ignorance while Maddie talks only to herself. When Annie rejoins the buzzing din of reality, Maddie questions her about her appropriate use of local gay bars.
Get more information than you knew you needed about matcha. When Maddie and Annie aren't proselytizing the good word about earthy beverages, they talk how classrooms might contribute to a heteronormative mindset. Don't worry, next week we get back to what's really important here: more matcha.
Fountains of Wayne gets a tasteful redux. Dawn makes a power grab for funniest woman on this podcast. This week we laugh at her hilarious use of stereotypes, next week we lie down on Freud's couch with cigarette smoke filling the room and talk about how our parents put us in a box.
Squeeze those buns, stretch those lungs and let's march! Maddie and Annie debrief Trump's first week in an incredibly long reflection of both the horrors and the hopes of this moment in history. If politics ain't your thing, or in this context, if basic human dignity ain't your thing, we've tacked on an extra 20 minutes at the end of this episode to lighten the mood.
Gay people, they're not so different from you and I. OR ARE THEY? Maddie and Annie begin by discussing the clearly defined genetic differences between straights and gays. But not, like, not really. Well, just listen to find out.
...but yes this episode, she is a little heavy. Maddie and Annie come down from last week's holiday highs and talk internalized homophobia. Even though we love loving who we love, it's still important to talk about the long, long road with many winding roads that brought us here. I wonder how Neil Diamond feels about the gays?
The fiery orange sun rises iridescent in the east ... oh sorry that's Donald Trump's big stupid head ascending to the highest office in the land. Maddie and Annie danced goodbye to 2016 and talk resolutions this morning, though at a more delicate, hangover appropriate volume.
It's the last day of 2016 and Maddie is trying to get Annie to be an adult and make some future plans. Watch as Annie, defensive and pugnacious, resolves herself to stubbornly resist preparations for 2017. These two love birds discuss the year in review.
We return our gaze to the young gays opening gifts with great cheer. Catch up with us as Maddie gives a 2-10 minute presentation of the virtues of "Beyond Yoga," "Hydroflask," and. of course, "Passion Planner," our unofficial sponsor.
Meet the captains at the helm of this friendship. Maddie and Annie are two friends who live on opposite coasts. Friends from high school, it was a pleasantly convenient surprise when Annie and Maddie both came out to each other on the same night. No tears, no tension and a whole lot of Tandoori chicken. After a sweet cocooning period during which Maddie and Annie became confident and badass gay females, they are now ready to share with the world the trials and tribulations of gaity. Tune in ever...
