False Expectations

Remember when you were younger and you thought your parents, teachers, and (OMG) your grandparents were ancient? As you've aged has that mindset changed? I think the answer is "of course" - but in the year 2021 has what's considered to be old changed as well? Today we explore what/when is old, old? Has that changed? And there's also some deep diving into where grandparents do, in fact, buy their clothes - does that store still exist and when does a person start to buy those clothes? Enjoy!

Are you the same person you were when you declared what you wanted to be when you grow up? Do you still want to be now what you wanted to be then? All that plus Dina harps on the suckiness of the interview process. Enjoy!

The Premiere Episode

Welcome to False Expectations. The show where Dina talks through her expectations of every day life vs. reality. We hope you'll join her for the ride.

She says "like" a lot - but we'll forgive her just this one time.

Today's False Expectation: The Holidays

UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIPS SERIES

Today we're bringing back the #celebestie segment - YAY! Unlikely Friendships listener, Shannon, shares her bestie with all of you ... you won't want to miss it. Mindy Kaling - we're admiring you today!

As a kid friends just exist, right? Making them isn't something that you think about or fantasize about or become insecure about. But, as an adult, how does making friends work? What types of friends do you make as an adult? Making yourself more vulnerable to accept new people into your life is something we dive into in today's episode. While also mixing in Marla Paul's The Friendship Crisis. Don't worry, the normal Taylor/Dina banter is here too...you won't want to miss it. Enjoy!

On today's episode we use our friendship hot topic segment to dive into the book Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow & Ann Friedman. We discuss what the rules of attraction are when it comes to friendship. Is attraction to your platonic friend a real thing? Throw in a little anxiety chat, Dina's Saved By the Bell reboot review, why perfume commercials and car commercials exist and you have QUITE the episode to listen to. ENJOY!

UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIPS EPISODE

It's our 10th episode! Enjoy our first annual Friendsgiving ramble. Today, we talk thanksgiving traditions, awkward family moments, and who'd be at our celebestie thanksgiving table. Listen til the end and you might even hear a tiny special guest!

It's been a WEEK. So, today we change our format up a bit and dive right in to our highs, our lows, and everything silly in between. We've just been through a historic election so we break that down a bit, female posses, pandemic plans, our love for the one and only Hilary Duff, and so much more. ENJOY!

This is a personal one! Taylor brings on her sister and closest confidante, Georgia. They are 4.5 years apart, total opposites, but also share the same humor and deep love and understanding for one another. But, it wasn't always this good. Listen to our take on sibling relationships and why they can be the most rewarding while also being the hardest to mend if broken. IT'S ALL HERE, FOLKS.
