TGIF! A Friday episode because the Met Gala takes fully hijacked Tuesday. Naturally.

My birthday was on Sunday, so Ryan and I get into all the extremely important life reflections that come with turning 29 like… wait… did I even fully live my 20s if I’ve never been to a club in Las Vegas? Have I done enough debauchery?

I recap what might’ve been my favorite birthday yet: blueberry pancakes, flea markets, a picnic by the water, fake proposals on docks, and meeting a stranger named Kirk who somehow turned my birthday into an unexpectedly wholesome conversation about life, connection, and talking to people more. Not to mention a fisherman made an appearance and gifted me a birthday present.

I also tell Ryan about making a VERY concrete birthday wish this year. No more vague wishes. I’m talking SMART goals. Measurable. Specific. Scientific. This sh*t needs to happen before I turn 30.

Then my new friend Kirk gives us “questions for the audience” and suddenly we’re discussing:

* Why men refuse to say they’re excited about things

* The unwritten rules of bathroom etiquette

* How to invite a friend to a movie without it feeling like a first date. Who drives? Who buys the tickets? Where are we sitting?

* Why adult friendships weirdly feel like dating

Taylor’d Takes on:

* The power of deleting comments and protecting your energy online

* Why I don’t fully speak on rumors until the SOURCE addresses it

* Troll culture and whether “Duty Heads” invented online trash talk. Ryan survived 2009 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 lobbies. IYKYK.

Questions of the week!

Ryan: What was your favorite game to trash talk in?

Taylor: At what age do we stop going into the bathroom stall with our friends?
