We're back after a two week sabbatical and boy, we've got a big episode lined-up for ya! This we week chat about:

1. Should we pull down statues of problematic explorers? Are we overreacting?
2. Chris Lilley's TV shows, and why Australia has a problem with race in media & entertainment.
3. We play Flex Mami's Reflex again! Chatting the first time we felt like an adult, our go-to lie for avoiding plans + living w/o orgasms or romance?
