- She’s Not a Regular Art Teacher, She’s a Cool Art Teacher
Girls who had their friend's parents blocked on Twitter in high school (*cough, cough*) now have severe social media anxiety. Can you imagine growing up with social media today? It was one thing to stress over which song you were going to select for your Myspace profile, but being 16 and feeling the pressure to be hot on main? Pass! This week on the pod I’m joined by none other than my bestie for the restie, the hottest art teacher in Minneapolis, miss Maddie, to chat about teaching in the time of COVID, the trials and tribulations of being a youth in today’s online world, and more! You know the drill, join us if you dare.

Gorgeous, gorgeous girls suffer from seasonal depression! I don’t know about you, but this gal is desperate for some vitamin D. Winter sucks for a myriad of reasons, but first and foremost the fashion is absolutely atrocious. Practical footwear? Parkas? If I have to even so much as look at my winter coat again, I’ll scream. Then there’s the snow, the cold temps, the dry skin—anyway, we’ll just be here bitching about it until spring. You know the drill, join in!

Is this a retirement announcement? That’s yet to be determined, however, my dad did turn in his notice at the company he’s been employed at for the last 17 years, so hey, that’s something! In this week’s episode, we take to the pod to bitch about work, running (or the lack thereof), winter, remodeling, and the works. Join us!

In this week’s episode, we dare to ask the question—Valentine’s Day, sweet or tacky? Perhaps both! Join us in a conversation about love, rom-coms, proposals, PDA, overpriced menus, heart-shaped pizzas, and more!

Guess who’s back on the pod and ready to bond over all of the things we don’t understand—my bestie Claire, obviously! Bitcoin? What’s that! NFTs? Not computing! Dust? How in the hell did that get there! Space? Not a chance! Child stars? Who allowed it! Join in!

In today’s episode, James and I dare to ask the question—should we move to Chicago? Join us, as we take you through our entire pros and cons list, bitch about our current apartment’s heating system, and hypothesize about the overly grandiose lives we could lead in The Wind City. Will moving two and half hours away fix all of our problems, you ask? Only time will tell, xoxo.

Happy New Year to my Pessimistic Pattys and my Pessimistic Pattys only! Remember when Kylie Jenner famously claimed that 2016 was the year of “realizing things?” Well, joke’s on her because the year is now 2022 and I just realized how terrible I am at spending time alone, which brings me to our season 3 kick-off epi! Join us, as we recap everything you missed during our holiday hiatus, dive into our intentions for 2022, and more! So good to be back, xx

Season two has officially come to a close and Adam’s final days in Madison are upon us! Since Adam has finally decided to jump ship and leave my ass in the dust, it seemed only appropriate that we close out the season on his move-out day with a little send-off smoke-sesh (yep, we mean weed! Flower! Bud! Green!) epi for the fans. Join us as we reminisce on the year Adam and I lived together during my brief stint as a pothead, our worst experiences with edibles, and more. Oh, and did I mention that we taste test the infamous Popeyes chicken sandwich? Because obviously! Anyway, if you’re reading this, remember to text Adam to make sure he’s out of his apartment by Tuesday at noon, k thanks bye!

Listen, it’s hard to be twenty-five. This week on the podcast my wonderful friend Abby and I gripe about the trials and tribulations of being a twenty-something desperately searching for a job that provides health insurance and cool roommates to split the rent with. I mean seriously, all we’re asking for is a raise and a few friends, is that really so much to ask?

About Pessimistic at Best
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Pessimistic at Best, a podcast for those with a penchant for frequent frustrations, personal gripes, unpopular opinions, honest observations, and the like. Hosted by Sam,…
your resident Pessimistic Patty, this weekly show operates on the belief that no complaint is too small.
Each week, Sam sits down with a guest to explore the good, the bad, and the ugly. A surprisingly good country album by your favorite pop artist, a bad bang trim you gave yourself during a manic episode, a military homecoming video on the internet that made you ugly cry. The list is endless, and therein lies the beauty. Come on in, we saved you a seat!
