August 02, 2022 Ep. 13:One of us has no shame in bringing snacks to the movie theater
Who knew that movie theater snacks could be so polarizing? Rachel will never get over the shock of Dale revealing his favorite snack choices. Ever. The duo gets into a spirited debate about movie theater fare and etiquette. And they are joined by Dale’s summer work bestie, Mike (@mikechanan on IG and creator of YouTube’s Freddy Bakes), who breaks down what would have made a viable snack trade for a pudding cup.

July 26, 2022 Ep. 12: We’re on the chicken finger tour!
Ok not really, but we are kind of on a live tour, recording the next several episodes from American Social Las Olas! We’re eating, drinking, talking to patrons and even pulling some of them to be guests. On our first on-location episode, we spontaneously pull in the lovely Taylor. She’s a server at AmSo, studying neuroscience and she’s able to deal with Dale’s humor and give it right back, so she’s now a solid friend of the pod. We’re talking about what it’s like as a server in one of the hottest spots in South Florida, dating as a young single gal, and a million other things.
