Let's put down on our phones and just talk—this brain rot era must be addressed. Being chronically online just isn't feeling cute these days, so the twins are taking on the topic of screen time. They offer advice for boundary setting, time blocking, and building habits to have a more successful relationship with screen time. Not only will this free up your day for other more productive activities, but Riley discusses the confidence-boosting effects as well. And if all else fails, we might just need to throw our phones in the deepest, darkest sea.

This Tuesday, the twins are dreaming of Thursday and the meal to come. They discuss their plans for the Thanksgiving feast, including multiple pies and sourdough creations. Quinn praises the unsung hero of the meal: a beautiful, tangy cranberry sauce. Also mentioned: Gladiator II, Will & Harper, and navigating Black Friday.

This Tuesday, the twins start by revisiting their thoughts on the nuances of influencer marketing. Then they breakdown Heretic, the new psychological horror movie involving two sister Mormon missionaries’ visit to a strange mans home that takes a turn for the worst. Tune in to hear why Quinn and Riley think this film was a worthwhile watch.
