Pessimistic at Best

And that’s a wrap on season 3! Join us for a mid-year intentions check-in where we discuss how little I’ve worked on being better at spending time alone and how much more “intentional” James has been since setting his new year's intention as being more intentional. Confused? Same! Hope to figure it all out once I turn 26—see you in August, xx.

James and I just got back from the PNW, are you jealous? We thought so! We took a trip up to Seattle and Vancouver to visit friends and family and had a blast, but unfortunately, we also had tummy aches the entire time—you win some, you lose some! Enjoy this little trip recap and see if you can guess what made our tummies hurt! xx

Did you grow up playing computer games?  Did you base your friendships on whoever had the best internet connection? Did your parents take money out of your allowance so that you could be a member of both Club Penguin and RuneScape? Well, you're in luck, because Annie and I can very much relate! Tune in to this week's pod to listen to us reminisce on our early friendship, divulge our elementary school crushes, and dive into our neighborhood shenanigans!

For someone who works in social media, I admittedly have absolutely no idea how to be online. I can’t remember how to Instagram, I still don’t know how to Tiktok, I’m on BeReal for some reason, and I’ve recently developed social media anxiety? Cute and hot! James and I take to the pod to discuss the crushing reality of existing online whilst trying to promote our various projects, the irony of online critics (haters make us famous!), and more—join in!

Something that nobody’s talking about is that it’s actually really brave to sit next to someone at the airport. Personally, I would never be caught dead doing something like that, but to each their own! Desperate for more airport etiquette by yours truly? You’re in luck! I just got back from a work trip and I saved all of the juicy details just for you, tune in!

Did you know that during the weekend you’re supposed to spend as little time at home as humanly possible? That’s right, Saturday and Sunday are for leaving the house and never returning. You literally can’t go home until Monday, if you do you’ll probably light on fire! Anyway, here’s what’s been keeping us busy on the weekends when we leave the house.

Most of the time you plan your little events and your trips and your dinners with friends and life is good, other times you have a quick menty-b and dissociate at work while looking at memes about having your rights stripped away, it’s called BALANCE. Ironically, the week that I return from my unplanned podcasting hiatus just so happens to be National Mental Health Awareness Week, perhaps a sick joke? But in all seriousness, let this little ep be a reminder to take care of yourselves because, life? She’s messy—okay? Lysm! xx

The #1 rule that I live by is this: If you consume three or more specialty beverages within a short period of time, that automatically means you’re having a good day. And just so we’re crystal clear, water is not a beverage. We’re not here for hydration, we’re just here to sip our little drinks and be merry. It’s simple really. What else are we drinking? We’re drinking the Shonda Rhimes Koolaid, honey! Confused? So are we! Oh, by the way, we’re moving to Chicago! xx

Hobbies are exhausting. I know because I have one, it’s this podcast, and I’m literally tired all the time. Now just imagine having enough hobbies to own and operate 17 [seventeen] different Instagram accounts. This week on the pod, I’m joined by my internet acquaintance turned real-life friend Sigra to chat about all of her various avocations which range from bands to bugs. She’s 10x more interesting than I’ll ever be, so trust me—you won’t want to miss this one besties!

We’re back after an unexpected hiatus, so it’s time to ask the question—did you miss me? Because boy, did I miss you! Let me start by apologizing for my unplanned absence, last week was truly a week from ~hell~ and I simply needed to take a beat. The good news being that my streak of terrible luck left me with plenty of fuel for the pod. Ready to catch up on everything you missed? Well, buckle on up, because this is a story all about how I wound up at the impound lot with a woman who may or may not have had head lice. Let’s ride!
