In Omnia Paratus

A long time ago, in a Best Buy far, far away, Angela first learned who Darth Vader was and she's been obsessed with all the Skywalkers ever since. In today's solo special, Angela's detailing some of the things she loves about the Star Wars franchise in a (new) hope to connect with other fans, and maybe bring some new fans to the table as well. Everything from the Disneyland rides and Galaxy's Edge, SNL skits with Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Wicket the Ewok, lightsabers, Rancho Obi-Wan, Princess Leia, and more are up for discussion today. If needed, C-3PO, human-cyborg relations, can direct you to the best listening platform. Kidding, but wouldn't that be cool?

Well technically her birthday was last week, but we were in Disneyland and didn't feel like being introspective when we could be in line for Space Mountain. But birthday episode day is finally here and Jae has 2 lists for you all. We're starting off today with 25 Things Jae Learned at 25 and we're finishing out the episode with 26 Things Jae Wants to Do More Of at 26 *insert party guy emoji here*

…Well, you know the rest.

We've been called twins because of our *twin telepathy* but sometimes we couldn't be more different! In today's episode, we're exploring our differences and the assumptions that people make that lead to surprise when they learn more about us.

Welcome to our Halloween episode! We're taking a look back at how costumes, trick-or-treating, and parties have shaped our outlook of this holiday over the years to figure out our Halloween vibe. Jae defends the basic costumes, Angela has a strange love for candy corn, and neither can agree on what the perfect Halloween outing looks like. We're going over the top forecasted costumes for this year, as well as recounting some of our childhood favorites.

Somehow, somewhere, at some time it *seemed* like the lines were blurred between cultural appreciation and appropriation, but we are here to remind you that the line is actually bold, bright, and never left. Today's episode is devoted to the multi-faceted conversation surrounding cultural appropriation as we explore how it affects all areas of daily. From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the language we use, our daily lives are filled with vast cultural influences from all over the world that deserve our respect, and are not just here for our entertainment.

Be our guest this morning (or any morning, noon, or evening) as we chat about broadway’s re-opening and NYC theater! We’ve invited our friend and actress, Grace McLaughlin, to sit with us and talk about her early love of musicals, what it’s like working in theater, and the inside scoop on Zoom productions.

As you may have heard a few times now, Angela bought Jae the second book in the You Are A Badass series, You Are A Badass At Making Money, off of an Instagram review and Jae was less than impressed by the experience. Angela then read the first book, You Are A Badass, and was also left wanting. So if you haven't guessed yet, today's episode is about the confusion, frustration, laughter, and 7:00 am phone calls brought on by our brief interlude into Source Energy, daily frequencies, money mantras, and all things awesomeness maximus.

*Please note, if you are a fan of this series, this episode may not be for you, but if you are open to other opinions, welcome! We are not trying to discredit Jen Sincero, just express our takeaways from her books.

This week we have our fairy-podcasting-godmother with us, Melissa Guller! We originally connected with Melissa, the host of Wit & Wire, when we first started our podcast research and were absolutely inspired by her. Today we're sitting down to discuss what it's like building your own podcast and business, how to reach an inclusive audience, and the best way to continue to grow and help others. We touch on struggling with imposter syndrome, being authentic, sharing in considerate ways, and creating meaningful content that both entertains and helps others.

This week's episode for you is as close to live as you'll hear from us now. This past weekend we went to see the latest in the MCU, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and we can't wait for more. This episode is more of a gushing rant of praise and emotions for Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and the rest of Marvel's newest additions, but hopefully you enjoy!

Today, Monday's are for the boys as we're finishing out our month of guests with our friend Brian. While we didn't know exactly know him in college or at the height of his collegiate greek career, his bonds of brotherhood, commitment to libations, and epic journeys (he once went to Vegas 9 weekends in a row), rival that of the ancient Greeks themselves.
