Talking Laughing Loving Breathing

Comedian Gwen Sunkel joins us to talk about her new album No More Tears, which is OUT NOW and already a literal best seller, can you imagine??? In this episode: nose picking, the extravagance of the daytime bath, and the state of terror you live in when you've kept a borrowed item for so long you become too scared to give it back. Consider this episode a little appetizer, the perfect amuse-bouche before you feast on No More Tears!

Writers and it couple Christy DeGallerie and Brejai Evans are everything Haley and Murph WISH they could be - brilliant...hot...funny...in L...and on our pod this week. They bring some spicy takes and explain why, no, Marissa's mom is NOT just "being really mean." A former Tampa resident, Brejai gives us the cultural and geographical lessons we need to enrich our understanding of the text that is Tampa Baes, and Christy diagnoses the REAL problem with Haley and Murph's pool party: the food. 

This is Tampa Baes through the eyes of our straight cis man consultant Carmen Christopher. Carmen is unblinded by horniness for Shiva and has some spicy and sobering takes on our fav silly billy boy and the rest of the Baes. This episode imagines a world in which straight people and gay people can look past their differences and come together in the face of one terrifyingly unhinged enemy: Murph.

Dear Mom and Dad, please send money - we don't have real jobs and we spend all our time watching entire seasons of vapid reality television because we find ONE person MODERATELY hot. Love, Your Baby Girl <3

Despite knowing that we only get one life, and that that life could end at truly any moment and we could unknowingly be down to our literal last hours to live, we've made the gorgeous, perfect decision to recap Amazon's incredible new program Tampa Baes - and this is the first episode. Can't stress enough that no one is making us do this! 'Scuse the audio hiccups, and eat up, babes. 

This gorgeous little episode was recorded in September, but rest assured we're still the same girls we were back then - still terminally addicted to our phones, still horny for sponges, still scarred from our Catholic upbringing, and we still think, sometimes, in some cases, SOME cults...might actually be kinda tight.

This episode can't do the work FOR you, but it can help you explore why you feel the need to be self deprecating vis-à-vis Olivia Rodrigo. It can't tell you who the Rolling Stones drummer is, but it can give you tools to mask your ignorance. It can't build you an outhouse, but it can illuminate the ways in which you've brought capitalism with you into the forest.

Our grandmothers quilted so we could watch YouTube videos while we brush our teeth. Being the star of a tragedy remains an intoxicating fantasy. Forget what you heard about TV being bad - it's not the '90s anymore, babe! Ben Folds Five needs to get on the right side of history, like 311 is.

The most maligned food in history (pasta) is rewriting her own story. Carrie Bradshaw's midriff remains a cultural touchstone. We don't like who we were at high school cast parties. Bachelor in Paradise is an emotional anchor. The most beautiful gift one human can give another is pretending their computer viruses weren't caused by excessive porn use. 

This week, we're singlehandedly destroying the rainforest with a new TikTok obsession. We're teaching ourselves to play poker to impress Shane McCutcheon. We're riding to the vape shop on Channing Tatum's handlebars. We're doing whatever it takes to get the part. We're writing 'Rosie O'Fucking Donnell' in our gratitude journals 100 times.
