The late 90s and early 2000s were a glorious time in celebrity gossip. In this episode, we're talking about the cultural moment that gave us the first massive celebrity sex tapes of Pam Anderson/Tommy Lee, Paris Hilton/Rick Salomon, Kim Kardashian/Ray J. For each tape, we discuss the players, the release/leak of the tape, the money, and the cultural response. And, of course, no discussion of celebrity, sex, women, money, or any other topic in America would be complete without a heavy dose of disdain for the patriarchy and misogyny, so that's included, too.

What do you want to see, experience and do before you die? We are getting existential today and discussing bucket lists, YOLO and the lie of retirement, i.e., the promise that one day, if you last long enough, and assuming you’re still healthy enough, you can enjoy your life. What’s a bucket list item, and what’s a choice about how you spend your time on earth? Is YOLO the Millennial bucket list? And how can you start experiencing those things now, instead of saving them for “someday”? For episode links, visit futureregretspodcast.com/18

Do you ever wonder how other people are seemingly more productive than you? In today’s episode, we talk organizational styles and methods, from “remembering” everything to Bullet Journaling to Marie Kondo. We discuss the relationship of organizing, productivity, goal-setting, and mental health, and when organizing is just a distraction from actually getting shit done.

“Where are you from?” carries a different weight when you look vaguely… “not white.” We are both biracial, and in this episode we have a candid conversation about our experiences growing up mixed race in America. This is a frank reflection on race and racism, culture, and privilege - including our own - from our lived experiences as mixed race people.

What do you consider a deal breaker in a romantic relationship? Bad in bed? Bad hygiene? Someone who is lazy, or conversely, someone who expects you to run a marathon with them? Today we are discussing the things that cause people to end relationships, or to never start them in the first place. We’re talking about gaming, employment, sex, lifestyle and basically everything in between. Tune in for expert advice and relationship hot takes from two women who have not been in the dating scene since the early 2010s.

The dreaded interview question - “What do you do outside of work?” Well, I don’t know - Is wine a hobby? Eating cheese straight off the block? Reading 90 Day Fiance message boards? It seems like so many of us don’t have hobbies besides Netflix these days, but what “counts” as a hobby anyway? Today we are talking about why we feel pressure to have hobbies and debating whether or not something needs to be “productive” in order to count. Like, why does reading seem like an insufficient response to the hobby question? Does a hobby need to have an end result? Does it need to be monetized? And, really, the big question - do you need a hobby to be an interesting, fully self-actualized person… or can you just “be” without the added pressure?

There’s a lot more to self-care than “doing whatever you feel like and calling it self-care.” (A couple years ago, this philosophy of self-care was known as “YOLO.”) And it also isn’t just getting expensive massages and facials! So we recently challenged each other to “Self-Care for $25 or Less,” focusing on things that make us feel better emotionally, physically and mentally without creating financial stress. We discuss the items we bought and our personal philosophies on self-care.

When you ask good questions, you get interesting answers! Today, we take turns asking each life questions, from the fluffy to the angsty. We talk about stuff from go-to recipes (Alexis has some really great ones!), Rihanna, and what our biggest regrets in life are. Are aliens real? What would you ask for if you were granted 3 wishes? Would you ask for money, time, the ability to teleport, inner peace?

We are huge proponents of doing work on yourself and addressing your emotional wounds so you stop inflicting them on others. In other words - HEAL YOUR SHIT. Today in our “virtual studio” (aka our closets), we have Alexis’ dear friend Megan, an MSW and Clinical Social Work Associate, as well as childhood early education advocate and consultant. We discuss the impacts of early childhood experiences, attachment theory, and whether you should be starting a new business in Quarantine Times or just eating Cheetos all day.
