It’s the end of the year episode and we’re easing our way out and into the new. No big bang in this episode. 2022 was a *ride* to say the very least!
We kick off by talking comedy and offer our take on recently seeing Louis CK at the Atlanta Fox Theatre and then chat on four big articles from the week, mostly to pose the question, “What is Elon doing tho?!” Plus New Zealand has a new take on quitting smoking, and why one Connecticut Mom is warning about toddler screen time.
Lastly, we offer our EOY wrap up annnnd apparently walking backwards burns more calories?! See you next year! We’ll be back with SZN FIVE in our new home studio January 16th!

It’s the penultimate episode for SZN 4 and we’re coming in with a slow burn! Alex officially launches our new segment “Fan of The Month” and kicks us off with 5 funny headlines. This episode covers Meth Monks, Fruitcake MTN Dew, the question “Is Trump a ‘real businessman’?” and then we launch into a looooong conversation on the topic of robots. We can all agree robots may be coming for our jobs, but have we really considered sex robots? What about horse robots?! Okay, we aren’t kidding when we say this episode gets wild! See you next week! --
Spoiler: Momma got ordained and the newest Disney movie tanked! We’re all having a week. As we hear up for the release of SZN five of our podcast we’re walking our way out of SZN four. Today we chat Trump (obvi), Balenciaga, Rachel’s affinity for Christmas and Alexis disdain for luxury cars. It’s a slow news week but that didn’t slow down our opinions. This is a fun one! Happy Listening!
It’s a long title, but this episode is deserving of such a moniker. We dive deep into the Red Wave that never was and what that means for America. Bezos says he’s going to donate his billions when he dies. Has he had a change of heart or is it just a PR stunt? In the backlash of Americans losing all belief in tech billionaires - HI ELON - the latter just makes sense. Speaking of tech; Silicon Valley is falling over itself to find “the next big thing” which leads us to dissect the “creator economy” and make predictions about where it all leads. All this and more - now. --
It's Halloween! Although, we don't really do much Halloween conversation this episode. We do dive into Elon's full acquisition of Twitter, if the books we had to read in high school had any relevant to today, China's new campaign to shame unmarried women 27 and older, and we take a look at the bizarre home intruder attack on Paul Pelosi. Happy Listening!
If you’ve missed us speaking about the political landscape and fear porn that is legacy media - then you’re gonna love this episode! We’re back baby! We talk the recent anti-Semitic actions in Los Angeles, why big politics is an unfixable system, Rachel shares her favorite Bezos moment, Alex dives into the ven diagram that is he and Rachel’s beliefs, and we end on - where we typically do - why personal growth is the way out and through. Happy Listening!
We are a comedy podcast although it may not sound like it in this episode. Alex leads us into an academic discussion of Iran, the Argo mission and this conversation brings us to BravoCon (we're not joking) and a broader discussion of the Queer identity. Yeeeeah, we really cover some ground in this episode. We also discuss the dangers of fanning the flame of a personality like Kanye - yet what are the dangers of ignoring them? This episode feels more like an open discussion at a local community college with your favorite professor rather than Common Ground, but it's a really good one! Enjoy!
We’re back to headlines and *almost* stick to the script. We chat Ana Delvey and HAWT TAKE why rich people are the most inclined to be scammed. Kayne is making anti semantic comments and wow could we not be any more equally offended as we are bored to be to perfectly Frank. We end on a long loop abo it nuclear war (shocker) and whether as humans we’re slowly progressing or just getting closer tot he edge. Oh and I would be remiss to not mention the rants about parenting and why if you can’t let your partner have a night alone bc you fear they’ll cheat - spoiler - you need a new partner. See ya next week!
In an odd turn of events; Rachel and Alex don’t discuss politics in this episode. SHOCKING WE KNOW. To be fair; we chat nuclear war for all of 5 seconds. This married duo chat modern comedy and what it looks like to create a large following. Why the old way of doing things can no longer survive in the attention economy. Rachel shares (too much) about her new favorite movie The Outfit and why Marty Scorsese is (slightly) overrated. Alex shares why AI is truly terrifying and we share why luxury travel is addicting. This is an easy listen. Well, besides that we attempt to end like 4 times, but ya know - when you’re in the flow, you’re in the flow baybeeee! Enjoy!
