This week on the podcast we are joined by Julia Stainer from the band Ratboys! You know all about her music career but did you know that she was an early employee of Instacart, is in multiple fantasy football leagues and is a Wikipedia aficionado? It's all true. We also get into the subject of "The Sims" and why she enjoyed to make characters like people she knew as a teenager and how she tried to promote their mental and physical health, She also recalls a story about a more recent Sims tragedy she experienced during a livestream that may have ended her decades long relationship with the game. In that spirit, we also play a round of YESTOLIGA OR NOSTALGIA where we discuss the upcoming "Nightmare On Elm Street" reboot, Frito Lays flavor swap chips and the return of Mountain Dew White Out.
