On this ep, Mere and Nikki discuss the social cues of MTV's Next, Room Raiders, and that whole era of impressionable reality TV, the choreography of saying goodbye (with or without grace), the wildcard of hugs, curating a personality, and answering any unanticipated questions from a barista/food worker/goddess.

How do you start one of these things?

Welcome to Social Cues, the podcast that unravels every awkward encounter, weird internalization of culture, and haunting interaction that leaves you wondering: "Why did I do that?!"

On this very first, very perfect episode, Mere Fitzsimons and Nikki Palumbo—your overthinking, overfeeling, and oversharing hosts—discuss the social cues of the live-action Flintstones movies, harrowing school dances, emotion regulation in traffic, looooooong silences, and being caught in a lie.
