Hey! I like you! episodes

  • whittonandwhite!
    Sometimes the world just doesnt want you to have nice things and that was very much the case with this weeks episode. After recording the audio was ALL over the place and I told myself you guys love us enough to deal with it BUT I love you guys too much to make you have to. 
    In the end, thanks to a very helpful youtube tutorial, and reinstalling garageband the episode is up! The audio is cleaner and the giggles are locked and loaded. I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope you love Holly as much as we do! LIsten along as she talks about favourite foods, things she wishes she'd known sooner, the perks of living in the USA (trader joes, target, and peach fresca just to name a few), and why she loves therapy.

  • Stop being weird!
    Hey! Hey! Hey!
    Life has been a lot and all at once for Becky and Martha. We so enjoy doing this podcast, it's a fun creative outlet, and a way for us to not so subtly force our thoughts in to all of your ears. We really appreciate the love and support you guys show us by listening each week. Since we're humans though we need breaks. Becky is glad to be back this week with a short and sweet episode for ya! Martha is very happy that at long last they got to welcome a  beautiful baby boy into their family, and is getting some well deserved rest. 
    In this weeks episode Becky talks about things she wishes people would stop being weird about. The world would be a better place if we stopped being weird about our friends when they get married, so what if you're married we can still hang out! Everyone woud be happier if we stopped being weird about weight loss being the indicator of health! We hope you'll listen and enjoy this episode.

  • Ask Evelyn.

    We're so excited to share our first guest with you, it's the one and only Evelyn Thompson-Smith! Evelyn is Becky's mom, and Martha's mother in law, and she has lived...a couple of lives. Today we ask her about her educational pursuits, her WHIRLWIND romance with Papa Smith and how they've been married for 35 years. We also touch on what drives her, and how she stays invigorated and excited to work and be busy.

    Here's what we've been liking this week:

    -The Chief Inspector Armand Gamache book series. The series is written by Louise Penny and if you're a fan of whodunnit books, check this series out! They're set in Montreal, Quebec.
    -The jovi patch! Becky isn't done talking about this magical pain relieving patch so hopefully you're willing to keep hearing her sing it's praises.
    -For those of you who listen to us in warmer climates, this might not be a big deal for you but it's getting hot and sunny in Alberta. Becky even got to lay in the sun in her latest and favourit-est bikini from aerie.
    -Check out @thundervoice_eagle on instagram. They're doing an incredible job at reimagining famous artwork with indigenous elements and people. Its beautiful.  https://www.instagram.com/thundervoice_eagle/?hl=en
    -We love our families, and we love that family shows up for each other.
    -Last but never least, we LOVE! and we LIKE! Universal health care!! Martha is very much about to pop and we're all thrilled that because she's in Canada this baby will come with 0 hospital expenses. Honestly everyone, move to Canada and have your babies.

  • Comparison Culture is Crap

    Need some easy listening this week? Join us for the soothing hum of Becky and Martha's voices sending you serious encouragement and thought provoking insight on how comparison culture just doesn't serve us. Focus on loving yourself, friend! You are worth it and have more valuable things to do than tear yourself (and others) down. And if you ever need the reassurance, remember that here on this podcast, WE LIKE YOU exactly the way you are!


    Speaking of 'like'... Hey! Here the things we like this week:

    -"Into the Grand Canyon" [National Geographic] on Disney+

    -Frozen Croissants sold at Costco

    -Badminton

    -Friends that will buy badminton sets with you and play

  • The "fun traits" missing from our highlight reels.

    Heyyyo friends! Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Today we're tackling the "fun traits" we all live with and sometimes wrestle with. If this episode has taught the two of us anything, it's that we're all way more alike than we are different. Some of you shared your "fun traits" with Becky back in November. While we went through them this week in recording we noticed that the two of us do most if not all of the things you do too. Why are we so ashamed of these behaviours then? We're all doing them, we're all so normal we're practically boring. We hope that whike you listen today you come away knowing you can love all the parts of you, even the bits you're ashamed of. 

    Our likes this week:

    Let's play a quick game of 'this or that'! What kind of peanut butter do you prefer - crunchy or creamy? Mild or spicy food? Coke or meth? We mean - PEPSI!! Coke or Pepsi?! On this week's episode you won't want to miss listening to Becky and Martha answering these hard hitting questions. 
    If you're like us - still in Covid lockdown - you need to get as many laughs in as you can. So listen in and laugh along!

  • K-I-S-S-I-N-G
    In this weeks episode we talk about America's favourite past time. Kissing. Between the two of us we've got some great kissing experiences and some others that were less than ideal. So tune in and listen to us reminisce from a time when Martha was single, and Becky could still touch people. Thanks a lot covid. We also break down some of our favourite on screen kisses from film and TV. Did we get all the good ones? Let us know!
    Beyond kissing, we also love and like Crave TV, it a streaming platform for us Canadians, which happens to house the 4hr Justice League movie. Martha wants you to know that 4 hours goes fast at this point in Covid. We also love and like, aerie bating suits, Becky bought a new bikini and it's her 19th(?) and her favourite one yet. Martha is loving and liking the early spring (cross you fingers is sticks) and the lovely Tabitha Brown https://www.instagram.com/iamtabithabrown/?hl=en check her out on instagram, she is a goddess.

  • Journey to the BIKINI!
    This weeks episode is another listener request and what has now been coined as Becky's 'Journey to the Bikini'. If you haven't already seen on instagram, you can regularly find her holding dance sessions in her room donning some of her favorite swimsuits from her large collection.
    Here on this episode of the podcast, we talk about how confidence is not always a linear process. We discuss how we have to build up tools and strategies to boost ourselves up in difficult times and how we all struggle to love our bodies for a number of reason. 
    If you get nothing else from this episode, remember that YOU ARE THE STAR OF YOUR LIFE! This is not a dress rehearsal and you should shine as bright as you can without the concern of what others will think.

  • Bread, Sourdough Bombs, and Making Out with Doctors!

    In this week's episode we dive into one of our "Hey! I like you!" topics. You know, the ones that don't quite fit categories of 'bodies and self love', or 'relationships' . Its the perfect third category to hold all of the things that make us happy, and we're thrilled to be sharing with you why we love BREAD <-- just like the all-too-famous Oprah meme. 

    Whether you buy yours from a fancy bakery, make it yourself at home, or are almost killed by it (like Becky was) we think you'll find something to make you smile in this episode. It might be taboo to love bread as much as we do, but we're very happy being the rebellious types. We'd love to put in a funny tagline like "bread over boys" but if you've listened to the episode you know it's really Bread AND Boys.  

    Some hot topics we also discuss in this weeks episode: - J-Rod allegedly breaking up. You can call off the vigil apparently they're going to work through things. - The unending pain that Greys Anatomy causes becky, please drop the name of any emotional support groups you know that she might benefit from. - The clubhouse app, it's iPhone only right now, but if you want an invite to it Becky's got your hook up. - Babes that we love accomplishing their dreams, here's to looking at your @jencieswimwear. - Tony Hawk, tweeting every time someone tell's him he looks like that one famous skateboarder named Tony Hawk. Dont believe us, check out this article https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/tony-hawk-recognized-twitter - The Duchess Bake Shop, come visit Becky and she'll take you (@duchessbakeshop) - All things Chip & Joanna Gaines, and you lucky son-of-a-gun's who get to watch their network on Discovery+ in the US. - The West Wing, the presidential administration the whole world wants for the USA, but Biden will do for the time being. - Legacy by Suzanne Methot (https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/legacy-trauma-story-and-indigenous/9781770414259-item.html) - A mind spread out on the ground by  Alicia Elliott (https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/a-mind-spread-out-on/9780385692403-item.html?ikwid=a+mind+spread+out+on+the+ground&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0#algoliaQueryId=49c72caffe7683d40384b0b5f0b28a44) - And last but certainly not least, Karly Mercer (@karly.mercer.art) for all things beautiful.

  • Take a break from zoom and take some quizzes about love!
    We're not psychologists or relationship gurus. But we did take some quizzes about love and talk about them this week! Take a listen as we discuss our results from the '5 Love Languages' quizzes (https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/singles-quiz/  & https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/couples-quiz/)  and 'Attachment Style' quizzes from two different sources (https://www.attachmentproject.com/attachment-style-quiz/ & https://dianepooleheller.com/attachment-test/).  
    Though there isn't much empirical evidence proving the validity of these tests, they are a great practice in self-introspection. And they're just plain fun to talk about! So how do you feel loved??
