Boom boom boom, let us hear you say wayo! It’s hot, hot out there and Grace and Andrea are braving an un-air conditioned room to deliver an episode on performative Abba fans, jukebox musicals, flags on the moon, and getting that thing checked out (you know the one).

It’s a very special [redacted] birthday for Andrea! Grace reveals (to no one’s surprise) that she was the proud owner of a nebulizer as a child. Andrea details not one but two harrowing (and avoidable) events. They both want musicians to stop threatening to release music.

Things are heating up over here as the girls discuss the highs (Quitting! Stooping!) and lows (Ticks! Snappy Casual!) of Crybaby Summer. To be clear: it’s an episode that comes out around the 4th of July, not a 4th of July episode!!! No fireworks allowed!

Hey! Frost this! Grace and Andrea are deviating from the usual format to recap How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (only sort of against Grace's will). Ins include: the yellow dress, Kathryn Hahn, and (if you're Andie Anderson) Tajikistan. Outs include: pick-me behavior, alliterative names and (if you're Grace) everything else.

Andrea and Grace's friendship is taken to the next level when they commit to sharing locations. Plus, they answer the question "Who is Conrad Edison?", realize Grace is a Boy Mom and Andrea is an Older Lady's Lady, and talk the merits (and pitfalls) of self-starting. They also make a discovery of a lifetime: Cannoli are really just dessert manicotti.

This episode has Grace and Andrea giggling and kicking their feet (but NOT from a bar stool that’s too high). The gals discuss the beauty (or irresponsibility?) of spending $50-$100 on a nice spring day, whether or not vegan snacks are an appropriate courting gift, and discover a new unit of measurement (you’re welcome science).

The Spring Breakdown is OVER. Welcome back to Work Island, Population: Andrea. Grace is Brooklyn’s newest resident and, to Andrea’s surprise, a VEGAN? We’re all Hulk Hoganing out, brother. The gals chat paying for movers, depression cooking (both the era and mental state), and provide their definitive rankings of Diet Coke. Did you miss us?

Love hurts, and if you're Andrea that means you'll wear a helmet. What's in this week? Oh, just the whimsy of making a spontaneous decision and taking the time to touch grass. They discuss the grad school-to-substitute teacher pipeline, adults who cough like toddlers, and campaign to #BringBackTheRingback....but get rid of text effects!

Andrea and Grace spend this episode being very, very brave (and seeming smart but not being smart). Grace wants flight attendants to keep their sassy safety demonstrations to themselves and Andrea talks way too much about coffee (she's going through it...). They unfortunately also wonder if the Pope is in or out (but wish him a swift recovery!!!) and Andrea tells the tale of her harrowing first Frontier flight.

It's a very special SPEED ROUND edition of the pod, where Grace and Andrea take listener suggestions and judge whether they're in, out, or at least 500-1000x more beautiful than a manatee.
