Hi AGAIN it’s Elaine and I’m exhausted, just like in this episode. I’m also classically worried that this blurb won’t be funny or good because of how tired I am… what else is new!!! No really… what’s up with you guys. On today’s episode of Spiral, Lauren and I discuss the Olympics, the act of extending gratitude, natural wine, nostalgia being “the special reason in my heart” when it comes to red Apple products, moving boxes (for too long), and Lauren’s Dave and Buster’s fiasco. I am OF COURSE the devil of the episode as I’m exhausted and am having a difficult time forming sentences. I extend gratitude towards all of our listeners, to God, and to the colors of whatever the next sunset I watch are. Goodnight and good luck this week, and I can’t wait to talk soon!

Hello to everyone reading this secret code. I see you. Imagine I just invented an alphabet… legit lol!!! Wish I did. K so on today’s episode of Spiral, you witness me having mental mush because I have no air conditioning and NYC is experiencing a heatwave. (I have news: I got A/C today!!!) Lauren (back on the east coast) and I talk about lots: Courtney Love bullying Olivia Rodrigo, our relationships with Instagram and who has unfollowed Lauren over the years, Wendy Williams, Lauren’s new show “Hoarders Da Lite” and her title of Ms. Capitalism. To top it all off, we have a spelling bee… pretty awesome episode if you ask me. One thing to listen for: me saying “Checking my insta” every few minutes because I have a bug in my brain. Thanks for listening smilers!!! Can’t wait for next week!

Hi it’s Elaine… I’m feeling strong and horrified as I type this because I just killed one of the biggest roaches of all time as it was sitting on my TOOTHBRUSH.. sooo disrespectful. Welcome to today’s (WEDNESDAY JUNE 16 2021 (announcement vibes)) episode, where Lauren and I continue to be bicoastal, and talk about: the waves and how much we respect the ocean, going to therapy at 9AM, adjectives from dreams, and the thought of us having a breakup a la Frenemies. Ok “a la” legit made me think of “a la mode…” ice cream vibes! I got ice cream don’t worry. I am grateful for this narrative in sound always but especially today, the only WEDNESDAY JUNE 16 2021 WE WILL HAVE THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!! FOLLOW AND EMAIL US!!!!!

Hello haters, lovers, friends alike! It’s Lauren and I’m writing this week’s description because it’s currently 1 AM in New York and Elaine texted me “OK AND PLEASE TELL THE AUDIENCE I WAS SUFFERING FROM HEAT STROKE AND I WILL HAVE A/C AND A BETTER ATTITUDE NEXT WEEK” …Anyway… Today we talk about fun things like having our brains washed (different than what you’d think), the idea of DNA strands being ‘cute’, Ulta vs Sephora, shoes with the material CORK WEDGE, fitting room experiences, and Tierra Whack speaking the truth. I hope you love the episode as much as I do and we’ll see you next week. XO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO OUR BICOASTAL DISASTER! It's me Lauren and I'm currently writing this on the night of Tuesday, June 1st. It is 9:19 PST and I feel like a time traveler because Elaine is currently in the future on the east coast. Wait literally what? In today's episode, we talk about a lot... INCLUDING what it means to time travel via imagery, being at a music festival, Daniel Radcliffe vs Nick Jonas, the iCarly reboot, and much MORE. Today's ep was honestly a little rough but please excuse our dear aunt sallys we're trying as hard as we can. Unfortunately, we DID forget to do the angel and devil of the episode. Elaine thinks she should be the devil because her phone dies at the end but honestly I think I should be the devil because I edited the episode in a way that is... subpar. Nevertheless, she (we) persisted. Thanks for listening, LOVE YOU!

Good morning (I don’t care about the time). On our traveling circus of a podcast, we discuss Lauren’s (1 month) move to Los Angeles and all of the fun she’s had in the first 24 hours. It’s really a storytelling episode for Lauren which (of course) makes me smile. Here’s a list of some things that we choose to discuss: spicy mustard, Gatorade, Ashley Tisdale AND her newborn, what hobbies I should have, and the weather “making broken.” At a number of points throughout this episode, I wondered if I should have been more severe in my editing, since I included directions to a new Sweetgreen location that will be relevant to almost no one, and I left the hum noise from Lauren’s room in LA in the mix because I found it endearing... for some reason... I love noise - this podcast included! Thanks for listening! Love, Elaine

Hey you guys (I'm singing) it's ME (Elaine)!!!!! Welcome to my podcast that I share with my friend Lauren. Today, we talk about a lot, including spiders, the words "stench" and "foul," and plagiarism (yes we're academics). My favorite part of the episode (you're dying to know this fact...ok I'm hypnotizing you...) is when I go to share my spiral and Lauren is like, "Well... are you legit gonna have to say it though?" Literally bestie alert.... Also there's a large part of the episode where I'm angry because I told a story (off pod) -  the word I desperately search for is "permeate." Listen to my BFF and I struggle AND have fun on this episode. Love you and bye
