You should know by now that Adam and Tranna are incapable of answering a simple question. The simplest question posed so far on the pod—Are you happy?—leads Adam and Tranna down a deep path of exploration that examines everything from the state of the world, the meaning of happiness and fulfillment, the pressure to be happy, and the ultimate struggle to exit survival mode and enter thriving mode.

Is life a mystery? Must everyone stand alone? In this episode, Adam and Tranna discuss their relationship to spirituality. From speaking in tongues to apostle cosplay, they’re unpacking their complicated relationships with religion and the divine. And they’re daring to ask the ultimate unanswerable question: what happens when we die?

Are you ready to take a trip because it’s finally the drug episode! Adam and Tranna love mushrooms and discuss their experiences with the healing, mind-opening magic of psilocybin. For both Adam and Tranna, mushrooms are a way to connect to and feel the loving energy of the universe.

Can you be straight and own all of Barbra Streisand’s albums? Is sexual identity about more than physical attraction? Adam and Tranna discuss their sexuality and the things that they are drawn to in romantic partners. They also reminisce about their coming out and how they navigated being queer as kids in the 90s.

Have you ever been curious as to whether or not you may be a narcissist? Can you handle the truth? Adam and Tranna take a quiz to see if they’re narcissists and discuss/grill each other on the results. Can you guess who’s the greater narcissist between the two of them? You can also take the test right here, if you’re brave enough.

While Adam and Tranna are certainly not elderly (yet), they’ve definitely reached an age where they aren’t exactly young either. It's an age where one starts to question what’s ahead, and where one may even start to fear the future. What happens if we become unattractive? Incapacitated? But are we really scared of ageing, or are we scared of ageing in a society that is extremely ableist and ageist? In short: should we take The Substance? 

The episode is an emotional rollercoaster as Adam shares the details of the worst day of his life. It’s almost too personal, but this podcast is an exercise in vulnerability. A conversation about grief becomes a conversation about childhood, the experiences that mark and change us, and learning how to love and receive love. You might want to have a Kleenex box ready and prepare to (possibly) be triggered.

Are you ready for a digital getdown? Adam and Tranna time travel back to the late 90s/early 00s, when they each logged onto the world wide web for the first time. They reminisce about ICQ, AOL chat rooms, MSN messenger and the strangers they befriended and had cybersex with. For two isolated queer teens, the internet felt like a portal to community and self-discovery—a vast fantasy land to explore identity and sexuality. It definitely doesn’t feel like that anymore… 

To kick off their daring new podcast, Adam and Tranna ask each other a foundational question: What is your gender? It's a deceptively simple question that becomes a complex exploration of identity, personal relationships, and societal expectations. There is no final conclusion, but Adam and Tranna both agree they love the presence of a boner.
