Welcome to Hey, Siri?'s second bonus episode! This time we take on one of the most iconic workplace sit-coms of all time; The Office. Join Siri guessing our favourite characters' storylines (based on the GIFs she's seen around the internet) and Xochi trying to explain Michael's antics and why we keep watching this cringefest of a show. 

Some advice will be given, some questions will be answered, and we talk a weird amount about Brooklynn 99 and Parks and Rec. What's not to love? 

Welcome back everyone!!! After a long, treacherous hiatus forced upon us by a shattered computer screen (that almost shattered Xochi's dreams) we are back in full swing... And what better way to return than judging strangers on the internet?

Find out what Relationship Experts have to say about dating apps, flirting, co-parenting, and lots more! So welcome to Hey, Siri?’s penultimate episode. It has been a long and wonderful journey so far learning about the in’s and out’s of psychological relationship research and how it relates to celebrity dating. But today I thought we would get even more connected with the everyday, non-celebrity relationships a lot of us are a part of, and have Siri give advice on how to solve relationship drama we can all probably relate to.
