Megan and Lesley here, back from a holiday break and feelin' spunky. We have made no improvements or changes to this podcast during our time away. We defied capitalism and rested. So, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit."

It's cold as fuck and our streets look like Hoth but we made it to the studio just for youdio! (Youyouyoudio - oh oh)

What do saggy testicles and shrinking lady bits have in common? Buckle up buttercup - you're gonna find out.  We discuss the legendary David Lynch. His surreal films are etched into our Gen X souls, sparking a lifelong love for the avant-garde. From "Twin Peaks" to "Blue Velvet," Lynch’s art shaped us.

But wait! There's more! In a world where news can be overwhelming, we highlight trusted sources like Pod Save America and Jessica Yellin's News Not Noise to keep you informed and sane. 

As Valentine's Day looms, we head down the long dark dusty hallways of our memory - recalling school-day card exchanges and awkward dances. We use major academic sources like the Wiki to give you the history of this ego destroying Hallmark holiday. (AKA Producer Tim's BIRTHDAY!) And unpack the shift from a branded popularity contest to high school hunger games style partner picking.

 We invite you to join our community, share your stories, and stay connected. Tune in for an episode that blends humor, nostalgia, and thoughtful conversation.
