IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING! This week on the pod, we’re welcoming my twin flame and the only person in the world who matches my extraordinary vernacular, Connor Willey! We’ll be discussing all things from sand flea infestation to rejected fist bumps, from the (fake) concept of drowning to dolphin kinks. We may just look like a little girl and an even littler boy who love the great outdoors, but inside, we are the spirits of a bear and an ermine. All hail Mommy Nature!

No hilarious woman is complete without her even funnier GBF with great hair! Everyone please give a warm welcome to my BFF and the son my parents never had, Joseph! Joseph and I grew up four houses down from each other, went to the same children’s drama camp, and spent our childhood riding our custom Schwinn bikes and making our Littlest Pet Shops have to go through teenage pregnancies. Come with us as we stroll down memory lane and recount all the things that make our friendship great, such as Joseph’s dead pet bunny, our petition to bring back Nikki Blonsky, and, of course, Mother Mishky. 

Gimme more… pesto please! This week, we’re welcoming comedian Jilberto Soto to talk about his one true love and one of the ultimate pop culture icons to ever exist, Britney Spears! From 7/11 cups to audio books, this guy knows his Britney and he has a lot to teach my Gen Z ass. You’ll also hear about my upcoming betta fish, Jilberto’s hometown of Yakima (iCarly fans rise up), and some of the other female musicians that have shaped our pathetic little lives! Shout out to Beyoncé and my Meryl Streep throw pillow.

Grab your rosaries and get ready to Pan this Vida because this week is different! Join me and one of my childhood besties Spags as we dive into the memories and miseries that were our all-girls Catholic high school. From woke nuns to math teachers from hell to fake Confederate towns, we certainly had our ups and downs while donning our plaid skirts. If you went to high school with us, you might get a laugh from this video. And if you TAUGHT high school to us, please be advised that neither Spags nor myself vaped in the bathroom.
