    ✍🏻 View the transcript for this episode

    How we go from piercings to food could be called an art. We go further than we have before with gastronomy: “correct” ways of eating things, Georgie’s emphatic response to an ill-tasting beverage, how Geoff tries to be healthy, toast spreads, bread thicker than a pile of pancakes, and educate Geoff on how to cook a soft-boiled egg. Get ready for some (literally) hot takes.

  • 13: We can't recollect stories for shit

    ✍🏻 View the transcript for this episode

    We start strong with some movie references, but quickly tangent into a conversation about how people find it difficult to recollect traumatic memories, let alone correctly recollect regular stories... Which extends into us attempting to recollect phones we used to own. Full disclaimer: none of what we talk about may be correct in the slightest.

    Georgie finally tells us why she hates ASOS, customer services and how we're offended as software engineers for being told we can't use software.

    Also, Georgie happens to be looking for a denim skirt (4 years later) on eBay, but her budget is probably $36.
