Caffeine Hangover

Ayla and Cassidy share an exciting announcement (spoiler alert: we made stickers)! They discuss a few recent pop culture events such as Becca Kufrin finally dumping her racist fiance, and Ayla drops some Selling Sunset tea. They also extend their condolences to couples who have been living in one-bedrooms in quarantine. Then the girls jump into a topic most of us are all too familiar with - surviving burnout. What is burnout, and what are some ways we can try our best to avoid it? They discuss time management, the importance of establishing routines and boundaries, listening to your body, and how to avoid more burnout later in life. In honor of it being September, Get It or Quit It is BACK this episode and we are sharing our opinions on allll the fall trends like photoshoots in pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice lattes, and more.

Cassidy and Ayla are joined this week by Coach Alex Ray: Bravery Coach and Host of the Becoming Brave Podcast! Before he hops on we tease exciting new merch and talk birthdays and thinking animals may talk to us?? We discuss Imposter Syndrome and how it affects our lives, and then bring Alex on for an amazing conversation about Imposter Syndrome, steps to overcome it, the power of confidence in your identity, and how we can all start taking steps towards Becoming Brave. We talk about the influence of social media in our self-image, self-deprecating humor, knowing your worth, and more. We hope you feel as empowered after listening to this as we did talking to him!

Caffeine Queens and Astro-Daddies, welcome to the crossover episode of the century! This week Cassidy and Ayla had the chance to talk to astrologers Tre and Tyler, the AMAZING hosts of Mercury in Gatorade (go subscribe and give them 5 stars on iTunes)! They blow our minds on why Co-Star is actually a sham, how much more there is to astrology besides our sun/moon/rising signs and the insta memes, horoscopes, and more! They also give us the tea on what astrology says about 2020 and even America’s birth chart! If you’ve ever wondered how you can use astrology in your life, how it can affect your relationships, or really anything at all, this episode is for you.

Head to @caffeinehangoverpod on Instagram for screenshots of Cassidy and Ayla’s birth charts to follow along as Tre and Tyler reference them (and read the gals to filth), and https://astro-charts.com to pull up your own birth chart if you want to learn what the heck some of it means during this episode!

Cassidy and Ayla open this week’s episode with the NBA, lusting over Zac Efron, Taylor Swift’s new album Folklore, and the MAJOR tea that is rocking Bachelor Nation this week. Then the girls dive into “cancel culture.” They discuss how they believe it got started, why the term may be problematic, and cancel culture before it was an actual term. They talk about the various people who have gotten “cancelled” or almost did and why - including Taylor Swift (and the Folklore merch copyright issues), J.K. Rowling, Ellen, Sherry Pie on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12, previous Bachelor contestants, The Chicks, etc. To close out the episode they list rapid fire (kind of) their favorite songs from each of Taylor Swift’s albums.

Ayla and Cassidy open the episode by discussing The Great on Hulu and also a PSA on why you should not watch Hollywood with your parents. They then chat with Jason Rester and Aysha Razavi about their experiences working as nurses on the frontlines of COVID-19, and how their experiences differ being in a smaller area vs. a big city. We discuss how their lives have altered, if they feel things have improved where they live, crazy mask wearing, schools opening, what they do to unwind, how we can all help and thank the frontline workers, and more. They both had us cracking up the whole episode - take a listen to them and remember to thank your frontline workers! We’ve also updated the linktree in our instagram bio with more resources to help protesters and the BLM movement, especially with what is going on in Portland, so please check that out and do what you can!

Cue Hannah Montana’s “GNO” because it’s girls’ night, baby! In today’s Caffeine Hangover Cassidy and Ayla are bringing back the zoom happy hour on the pod and playing some drinking games! They begin the episode discussing quarantine drinking habits, a couple drinking stories, and hangover cures. Then, they play an interesting game of everyone’s favorite classic: Would You Rather, including questions about roommates, sex tapes, bachelorette parties, and more. They dive into the Bachelor tea from the week between Colton and Cassie post-breakup, and then hop into a game of Most Likely To (answering for themselves AND members of Bach Nation). This week in Wine About It, Ayla wines about Friends and Cassidy wines about Ayla wineing about Friends. Pour yourself a glass and drink with us on this GNO (or in because social distancing is still a thing)!

This week Cassidy and Ayla give opinions on Hamilton on Disney+ (including Jonathan Groff’s drool), Disney World reopening, Kanye but also Paris Hilton announcing they are running for president, Starbucks barista love fantasies, and The Morning Show on AppleTV. They then get into the struggles of moving and how Cassidy’s trunk has almost killed her many times. Cassidy recounts some of her worst moving experiences which include yelling at a man at a gas station and accidentally shattering glass in multiple parking lots. They discuss how being a mover would be the job from hell, the seriousness of car tetris, and somehow Ayla didn’t know there was a weight limit to your checked bag on a flight?? They talk about different ways you can try to make friends when you move somewhere new because that sh*t is HARD as an adult. This week in Wine About It, someone please go get ice cream with Cassidy and, inadvertently, peanut allergies.

At the top of this episode Cassidy and Ayla discuss The Chicks rebrand, the reimagining of Splash Mountain into Princess and the Frog, firework conspiracy theories, and Love Life with Anna Kendrick. Then they are joined by their Tarot-loving friends Conk (check her out on Ep 5. Surviving Disney as an Adult) and Aysha! They share what sparked their tarot interest, how they got started, how Conk uses Tarot to guide meditation and decide on food delivery, etc. They explain what different types of cards mean, how they change and interact, and how deep the different meanings can go. They also discuss how Tarot is related to Astrology. Then, they each give Cassidy and Ayla a 3 card reading. They give us some awesome resources and stress that anyone can do it - you don’t need to be a witch or psychic (though if you are, we are jealous)! Keeping the magical theme, this week all 4 girls Wine About It on the portrayal of Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies vs. the books.

Ayla has a Wine About It to start off the episode about how she accidentally sent all her contacts porn. The girls get into why it’s important to wear a mask, what you look like when you don’t wear one, and how they really feel for the service industry workers right now. Then they recall their service industry experiences and tell stories of annoying customers, embarrassing stories, and what made them quit certain jobs. Cassidy shares what to do and not do to make a server’s life easier, and the weird ways she has received tips. They debate whether retail or food service is worse, and discuss how some Disney guests act like they are entitled to everything. They play a round of Get It or Quit It - Service Industry Edition - including, non-slip sneakers, leaving your number on receipts, and telling the server “surprise me!” If you have worked in the service industry, chances are you’ll relate to this episode on a deep level.

As Ayla tries not to pass out from donating blood earlier, she and Cassidy discuss the announcement of Matt James as the 1st Black Bachelor, Walmart clothes, and the Twitter battle between Millennials and Gen Z. The girls then take a freaking TRIP down memory lane and talk about the absolute insanity that was high school as a shoutout to the class of 2020. Trust us, it gets better. Why do girls in high school now have good fashion sense when our generation looked absolutely nuts, were there even really “popular” kids, and where did we fit in? Cassidy gets heated about being forced to take classes like calculus and Ayla talks about what they were “taught” in her health class. Cassidy shares her anxiety issues that formed while on the soccer team and not feeling like she fit in, and Ayla tells her embarrassing story of how Caden asked her to homecoming in front of the whole school. They talk about their very different experiences with “dating” in high school and cringe-worthy first makeout sessions. All in all, it seems like they had a good time besides Cassidy’s class advisor trying to ruin their senior year for fun. This week the girls Wine About It on people giving their kids names that don’t sound how they are spelled. Cheers to the class of 2020 (and don’t worry, prom isn’t THAT fun).
