  • #8: Suns In 4(ever)

    Does correlation between bandwagon nature and long-awaited support for an underdog franchise team even exist when it's Game 2, pre-Booker nose break and post-Paul quarantine? Suns in 4 guy had just spawned--and I was hooked. There is no reasoning for when one becomes a fan, it just happens! This is is my account of entering the NBA hype during semifinals season as a Phoenix native who's last acknowledgement of the franchise involves names like Nash, Shaq and Barker. It's a forever thing now.

  • #6: Costco Sunday
    Heelys, samples, and double-sliced pizza. In a territory so lawfully good--and a known haven for all that is still organized and familiar in this world—GFYHT discusses understanding how the philosophies of adults and their collective nature at the hometown wholesale retailer has set the threshold for how we inherit our parent's errand-running tendencies and attribute them to our own livelihoods as we grow up.

  • The Ex and The Why
    Exes are computable to aliens and that’s all I have to say on thinking closure is a necessity to adaptation to a new world with a new lens after ending things. There’s been a breakthrough—your therapist will be happy to understand, because I don’t have one—amidst all this nonsense about desiring settlement from someone or something that at one point in time made us unsettled. There’s the ex—but theres even more so a reason why they are.

  • #1: The Algorithm
    Has a certain social media class of us graduated from the need of subtweets, customizable layouts and DMs that are NOT the equivalent of phone calls? In this episode-before-the-episode of GFYHT, the rise; plateau; and decline of other social platforms that existed before TikTok's time have created the lingering etiquettes and conversational behaviors influenced by websites that remain as all but obsolete—and Toni independently searches for reasons why.
