And always remember: a couple of strangers on the internet believe in you!!!! Bye!

In their penultimate episode the hosts reflect on a glorious weekend away with their college friends. They've got a party game to really get you laughing amidst the intense world news and a speed round of catch-up questions for Walls. SPOILER: She announces which cheese is The Best Cheese! Then Rachel reveals which shows she'd like to remake, and star in, before two more poetic recs to get your Cancer season feelings going. They'll be back for one more episode next week!

Three episodes left! Whoa! In our third-to-last episode, Rachel gets in a little Twitter fight, but shows some personal growth. Walls has some exciting career news that has her both relieved and nervous at the same time. Walls shares the ways she's realized she likes to be comforted. Rachel fantasizes about what she'd do with an obscene amount of money. Walls recommends some towels that will have you feeling like heaven at an accessible price. Rachel recommends two pieces of art (one poem, and one poem set to an orchestral piece) that just might have you feeling something grand.

It's the Final Four episodes! Walls has had a big work-life shift this week, and Rachel has confirmed that JIF really is the only peanut butter for her. There's a conversation about dermatillomania (skin-picking) and the benefits of working with a dermatologist. As the hosts look back on two years of the show, they ask questions from the archive. Walls has a DJ name worthy of middle school lunchroom conversation, and Rachel dreams of acquiring some wonderfully human skills. There's a great cookbook for beginners and, of course, one more K-pop group to blow your mind!

Well, The 'Vid finally caught up with our Covid-Cautious hosts. Rachel describes her Covid experience, and encourages everyone to mask up with N95s or KN95s, even when it's not required! Walls shares a week full of the ups and downs of being an adult. The hosts send love to victims of gun violence, and are determined not to lose hope in fixing things. Walls reveals which she'd prefer: a toddler's ability to learn new things with ease, or a toddler's physical indestructibility. The hosts have some epic viewing recommendations: a super-sized Bollywood masterpiece, and the creepy, nostalgic thriller that everyone's been talking about (written by a friend!!).

Would you rather have a flexible mind or a flexible body? Are you still masking and taking extra Covid precautions?? Tell us about it on Instagram and Twitter. Emails and voice memos are welcome at [email protected]!

-Good general rundown/summary of the whole situation (allegations, trial, backlash)

-Short video about the bot campaign online to discredit Heard and support Depp

-Evidence that at least some of the pro-Depp sentiment online is a result of a far-right-funded astroturfing campaign, where far-right websites are using trial-related misogyny as a way to bring more people into the alt-right online influence sphere

-An article describing the chilling effect the trial coverage is already having on victims of abuse

-Johnny Depp's erratic, unprofessional behavior and unaddressed addictions were already doing plenty of damage to his career before Amber Heard's allegations

Rachel and Walls are at it again! They give some updates about their "try something new" challenge from a few episodes back. Walls shares some recent photo-taking escapades. Rachel describes packing up her Grandma's house, including some unexpected dinosaur shenanigans. Walls considers a couple of alternate-universe career paths. Rachel remembers a favorite childhood teacher who was ahead of the curve. Recommendations include a YouTube channel for lovers of history and food, and a podcast about--you guessed it--cults!

The Supreme Court is back with bad news, but organizers on the ground are doing everything they can to keep abortion safe, legal and affordable. The hosts chat a bit about Christianity's "roots" in the anti-abortion sphere (they're more nascent than one might guess), and then they fly away to far-off places in the questions segment. Rachel goes geographic and Walls travels back in time to her favorite childhood board game. The recs this week will keep listeners entertained with a dash of dystopia and a hint of heist.
