Best Gabe Ever

Transcription: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d4bgG0TOOIYK4EZD7sCxBP8TI5VMvvC2sNjxnB7cTU8/edit?usp=sharing

Gaby starts off by sharing some hot tips from their couples therapist. The duo then tackle a listener's question on how to accept that their anxiety will be a constant in their life. Screenwriter Kiwi Smith then joins in to talk about her work on early 00s female-led rom coms including 10 Things I Hate About You, Legally Blonde, and She's The Man. What is it like to have written such culturally iconic films? What's the secret sauce? Why the heck don't we have movies like this today!? And finally, celebrity deaths and the idea of public mourning. Good? Bad? Helpful?

TW: Brief mentions of suicide during the interview

Transcription: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X4iamS349L2kjNL8LBCQz56Ffv0gy0OvpaFFF12fKp4/edit?usp=sharing

First up, doggie DNA tests! Are they reliable? And is Sugar even a dog at all? Gaby and Allison then shift gears to give a listener advice on how to approach her romantic feelings for her roommate who has a new boyfriend. They then interview YA superstar Becky Albertalli about book fandom, her own queerness, and the reconciliation of a huge Twitter beef between her and Gaby. (Very juicy, would recommend!) And finally, Allison has a big life change to announce! Life is a rollercoaster, baby!

First, Gaby calls a motel and finds that the front desk people are not very good liars. Then, the duo respond to a listener who is trying to date again after being left in a horrible manner by her ex-fiance--something Allison has a lot of experience and advice about. Next, they talk to comedian and romance novel aficionado Jackie Kashian all about romance novels as a genre, how women fans are devalued, and the ways women are portrayed in media written by women compared to media written by men. And finally, family loyalty. Would you put yourself at risk for a sibling who broke the law? Looking at you Chris Cuomo! 

Tw: discussion of rape fantasies, rape in soap operas and novels, sexism, racism

First, Allison will be in grad school forever. Then, the duo answer a listener's question about suddenly wanting children when their partner thought they did not. Will this blow up their life or make their life better? Only they can decide! Next, we have Daniella Flores, founder of ILikeToDabble.Com, on to discuss side hustle productivity culture, ideas for making money outside of a 9 to 5, and why side hustles have become so normalized. And of course, the danger of multi-level marketing schemes. Also, what are the Baltimore Orioles, really? Finally, reboots! Producer Melisa joins us to ask: Why?

Gaby and Allison start off by answering a listener's question about whether or not to get a pet to help with their mental health despite a fear of animals. (Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!) They're then joined by registered dietician Vanessa Rissetto to talk about how she is disrupting her field and how we can reimagine our thoughts around nutrition and food. And finally, professionalism. Does it still exist? And if so, do we need it?

Allison quits the show. But then sticks around to answer a listener's question about whether or not she should be concerned that her boyfriend is still a support system for his ex. The duo are then joined by tattoo artist Brittny Abad to talk about tattoo school, how tattooing actually works and why people love them so much! And finally: democracy. Is America doing it right? (Not really.)

Gaby's gone full Trekkie in the last year, but Allison has her own ideas about what aliens actually look like. After much debate about this, the duo answer a listener's question about getting involved in their siblings' volatile relationship with their parents. Next, Avery Trufelman joins the pod to talk all about lifestyle utopia, the world of home, and the various inventions that have changed our day to day. Finally, love songs! Why do we all get emotional about them? How does Gaby feel when their partner writes songs about them? And why have so many men made mix tapes for Melisa?

The duo then address a listener's question about what qualifies as romance as they, asexual, get ready to marry their aromantic friend. Next, they interview host of, “How To Do The Pot,” Ellen Lee Scanlon, about the various and glorious uses of cannabis. And finally, what would we change if we were president? Hint: more monorails?
