As Walt Whitman explained, humans contain multitudes. Including, or especially, our dearest Nick and Julie. In today’s conversation, Nick would like to show us his horny teenage side (who watches old episodes of Supernatural awaiting the allusion of gay romance) and Julie reveals her penchant for pretty pink things and fear of supermodels. Then, drag queens!

Nick and Julie work really hard and they definitely deserve dogs, games and all the tv they need - unless it’s squid game which Nick needs to stop watching on repeat.

Another week of “is this apocalyptic?” drama has led our intrepid podcasters to seek refuge in the Squid Game… No, that’s not right. The psychological trauma of watching Squid Game has sent Julie to a dog kennel in pastoral England (in The Dog House) and Nick to a playful, comedic world with vampires (What We Do in the Shadows). And luckily Twitter is holding the whole world together and we’re still playing games, come play!
