Dev’s vacation threw off the regular schedule which made for a morning recording in Australia, and Nick needs more coffee. Episode 17 bounces from Valentine’s Day to the Olympics, from rock climbing to obscure 30 Rock references (we love you Liz Lemon). A recovering TAG student, Dev talks about the fun and freedom of being bad at things. Trey sheds some light on imposter phenomenon. Nick brings a delightful history lesson about Anna Howard Shaw.

February is finally here after 49 days of January. Trey taps into a short history of the Grammy’s lack of diversity. Dev dishes out tips for her favorite hobby, sleeping. Nick continually makes the case for why we should all move to Australia. Pack your radio alarm clock, let’s go.

Eventually AI will write these blurbs but not today, Satan. 

Dev appropriates Danish culture to share tips to embrace winter. But to be clear, cozy vibes are ALL that the Sibs support taking from Denmark. 

Nick wants to know: Where the F is Erin Brockovich? The real question is what horrors are hiding in the EPA’s new mission? Side note: The legendary EB did in fact publish a book in 2021 called Superman’s Not Coming: Our National Water Crisis and What We the People Can Do About It.

Saving best for last, it’s the first guest of 2026! The sibs are joined by Jerome Evans (@jerometevans), entrepreneur, founder of Bottomless Coffee, and resident of Minneapolis. He tells what it’s like on the ground there now: ICE turmoil, frigid temps, bright spots and all.

Hello beautiful listeners and welcome to 2026. It's been decided that Netflix needs a Wrapped for the year like Spotify, but ChatGPT needs to stop.

This episode brings you the Best of 2025 according to three no-talent ass clowns. Maybe you’ll love these recommendations, maybe you’ll hate them. Please comment with your favorites too.

For as much as Dev reads, she’s terrible at describing books. She also needs to get out more... only 1 concert in 2025, really? Meanwhile, Trey’s diet is 100% music while dust collects on his book (singular).

Nick gets tipsy and DMs his musical crush and receives a reply. He needs more Olivia Dean on his playlists though.

Warning: This episode includes a claim that people don’t say Hipster anymore, but Gwyneth Paltrow said it in her new Good Hang interview so who’s really sure?

On the twelfth day of Christmas, the Ps swap gifts from their parents. Not actual presents, but life lessons. This sentence is a litmus test to see if people actually read episode descriptions because Dev is wondering if maybe no one does and she should stop writing them. So if you do read these lil blurbs and they’re useful in some way, comment “keep it up.” Anyway if you are still reading, the Ps are taking a short holiday nap and will return in early January.

Dev struggles through a week of single mom life, catches flack from her kids for not being a morning mom, and still doesn’t know what “auxiliary heat” means. 

But wait, did everyone know Trey (a.k.a. Ralph, a.k.a. Tre) ran a marathon? He shines a little light on the dwindling presence of TV and movie LGBTQ+ characters. 

Nick brings the warm fuzzies (literally) with a story of gay sheep rescue. Thanks for tuning baaaa-ck in.

In this super-special episode, the Ps are joined by their Aunt and Uncle who share expert hosting tips. No one needs these more than Trey, who is prepping for the first Thanksgiving at his house. Being thankful is not just for November. Dev shares how gratitude practices are connected to mental health — proven by brain scans, not woo woo. Nick quizzes the family with sibling whodunits. Plus, learn what a tick tock doc is and how to pronounce the word "preface." Tune in next time to see if Trey’s underwear comes out unscathed after his marathon.

Double digits, look out now. A massive thank you for listening and subscribing [insert heart hands here]. 

Trey’s doing the exact thing he swore he wouldn’t — prepping for a marathon — and the sh*t is really hitting the fan this week. Nick drops some knowledge about fossil fuel companies funding anti-trans organizations. Dev would like to remind y’all that gender is a social construct, and everyone should wear what they like.

We love suggestions! Comment on Spotify or DM @mustlikeboys on Instagram. Ps out.

Growing up in the P family, there was no such thing as a store-bought Halloween costume. If you can’t build it out of cardboard or scrap plywood, you’re out of luck. Costumes in this episode include goat horns, a red wig, and a wizard hat.

This podcast is making Trey smarter and Dev dumber, meanwhile Nick thinks that numbers have personalities. Trey shares the top 5 haunted U.S. cities and a history of the Alamo (spoiler alert: it’s also haunted). Dev covers a psychologist’s ideas on the two big fears that drive humans. Nick invents a True or False guessing game from horror movie plots.

Warning: this episode will test your vocabulary — the siblings struggle with words including secularization, decentralization, and re-incarceration. 

Actual trigger warning: episode contains a short discussion of sex offenders and related disturbing topics.

The unsolicited advice is exploding everywhere in this episode. Eat your dinner. Don’t talk about politics. Do your kegels. Avoid pedicures in Palm Springs. Don’t assume you know more about Jane Goodall than your older sister. Rinse your recycling. Someone give Nick an award for his tremendous recycling efforts. Take a nap. Don’t put that many marshmallows in your mouth or you’ll choke. Don’t steal traffic cones. Get a divorce if you want to. Stop saying “I’m sorry” when people tell you they’re divorcing. Don’t swallow massive butter balls. Watch English Teacher. Watch Game of Thrones. Don’t buy the cheap tissues. Don’t even look at the ingredients for toilet paper. Rate us five stars (please).
