Dan takes a dérive to Staten Island. Erika is being problematic in the group chat again. Welcome friend of the pod and Golden Globe winner Steven Yeun, here to be our California correspondent on race relations and introduce the Hardcorner. // How many times can we talk about Horseshoe Theory? Is this what happens at Full Sail University? Rivers Cuomo—long lost nephew of Andrew Cuomo? // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @LilDimSum69/@not_pandapanhandle, @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR. 

Erika finally gets her clams. Dan continues to have the nicest life. One is destined for delusion, the other for greatness: who will it be? // Is this the most cucked thing you've ever heard of? What's the deal with couples wherein one person wears the mask and the other person doesn't? What does a creatrix do? Would you drink the whole egg cream for Governor Cuomo? Is COVID over? // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR

Dan is "having a nice life." Erika won't celebrate International Women's Day. We present: the 4D pendulum. // New mic, who dis? Is a single meatball an adequate bed meal? Who will be Dan's +1 for the cruise? What's the new "business bitch?" How is fastest way possible to get to the NYT Bestseller list? // Link to Erika's mentioned alienatingly-specific Spotify playlist: http://spoti.fi/3rDXmlk // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR

We're late on this one, no time for show notes! (It's chaotic, that's all you need to know.)

Erika faces a classic "gay or straight" dilemma. Dan has a near-death experience. Welcome to #Rushkanda—the sort of pop culture crossover that we can all celebrate. // What's our problematic fave doing in the news? Where can you get the best view in Upstate New York? What's going on in Myanmar? Which classic Disney characters are closer to a six on the Kinsey Scale? // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR

Dan continues to wait for a call back from the state of New Jersey. Erika is up to her old schemes. Welcome to the digital Thunderdome. // Have you heard about Good Pillow™️? Would you smash a guitar to feed a starving child? How long have we "gone?" Where is our invitation to the Bimbo Summit? // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR

Erika passes a milestone and gets ready to return to her old self. Dan gets hit with the random bag search. Fire up The Naked Gun and get ready for a celebration. // Do Erika's opinions reflect Dan's? #OscarsSoWHAT? Is trauma the new clout? What are our pet peeves? When can we go back to falling in love on the train? // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR 

Erika is cyber-bullied within an inch of her life. Dan gets the COVID vaccine and can't stop gloating about it. Is this the beginning of the end of the pandemic? // Where is Dan's mail? Are you wearing four masks right now? How about those checks, Joe? Did we just become boomers? What are "stocks?" // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR

Dan takes another trip to the holy land. (Central PA.) Erika nurses an injury. We mourn the loss of the Diet Coke button and try to move forward. // What's your crisis actor name? Would you send cots to sleeping troops? Who's a confirmed Poon Master™️? What kind of pitchman will you be in the As Seen On TV Gulag? // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR

Dan deals with a deluge of sorts. Erika cries a little bit. This year is going exactly as we expected—and yet, the pendulum swings on. // What's everyone's favorite jihadist collective up to? Have you heard of the latest Call Her Daddy guerrilla marketing scheme? Are you ready for the inevitable rise of our tech overlords? Should Donald Trump purchase Erika's Twitter (and pretend to be her)? Zooey Deschanel: radicalized by RPGs? // Follow us on Twitter + Instagram, @anicelifepod, @emricchini, @danbassini and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR
