Total Relaxation

Hello Pervert...DON'T open an email with that subject line unless you want to get scammed! Kelly Kay Hurcomb drops by to tell us about her fear of the Dark Web and its many nefarious tendrils. Remember to keep all your passwords on a tiny scroll in a locket around your neck that only has one key. The airport has men in the walls. Sephora trough. The decline of humanity (because of the internet). Nobody's home at Lookbook.nu.

Take a deep breath and relax the spoon in your brain because we're finally getting into our huge fear of the tiny confetti (?) floating around in all of us. Yeah we're taking about microplastics, and no we are not okay. Emelia read an article and now she's spiralling. Nancy considers a fun moustache and plastic-infused cherry tomatoes. Give me a glass IV. Off-gassing. If I get a duvet cover and fill it with buckwheat, is that a mattress? Never buy me a balloon.

We really get in our own way.

MAGNETS: can they be trusted? We expose our shocking lack of scientific knowledge as we claw for answers to questions such as: can a magnet scramble your brain? should you eat magnets? what is a magnet? can you dig a magnet out of the earth? is gravity a magnet? can you be magsafe? and most importantly: is DNA brown??

What if all you need is a dog, a house and sexy little AI chatbot? Is that a fear or a fantasy? We get to the bottom of it with environmental educator, comedian, and paid chatbot subscriber, Melina! Also: When robots dangle. When the workout class is more of a lashes situation. The dream of never talking to anybody ever again.

Food, water, shelter and CONSCIOUSNESS? We grope around in the dark trying to decipher what a need is, if we're allowed to have them and if so—how in theworldto express them. Prepping for a Saturday afternoon serious talk with your romantic partner at a cafe? You're going to want to listen closely to the amazing wisdom in this ep. Also: Nancy wants to crush Emelia's ganglion cyst. Emelia is desperate to eat snow by the mouthful. Is the F7 a tooth? Nancy's microdent. The three devils. Can you pass out lying down?? Technically??

What is bureaucracy? Where did it come from and why does it exist? We answer none of these important questions in this groundbreaking episode with comedy icon and reluctant rule follower, Tranna Wintour! Tune in to hear about Tranna's fear of filling out forms, engaging with bureaucratic structures and her patented system of adding "a little extra on top" (tipping the government). Plus, we discuss what each of our roles would be in a Mad Max Fury Road scenario. And, Tranna confronts the abusive releationship between cats and their owners—lookin' at you DUSTY.

Absolute fear and anxiety legend Emma Overton stops by the bedroom closet and she’s brought a veritable feast of delights. Enclosed spaces. Existential jails of the mind. Other realms. A horse’s lifetime. Living forever? No thanks! Logically, you should be able to interact with other ghosts. Emma preys on Nancy. She can’t help it, she has eyes on the front of her head. The energy of a belly button. Emma wants to leave the table to get blasted by a waterfall. Smirnaffle (Smirnoff + waffle). Audience demand for a sexier podcast. Emelia gets a bonnet. And THE INFAMOUS GREEK FERRY STORY. For dessert? A Babygirl micro film review.

Join us as we pop off on holiday season topics. We’ve each brought our NAUGHTY lists and we’re feeling an ineffable December melancholy that simply cannot be cured! Cozy up to a bowl of pulses and lentils in your lambswool smock and send a candle down the river, because the holidays are about Wintering and mourning. On today’s ep: The Zoloft has worn off. Getting to the edge of vitamin D poisoning. Falling down the driveway and staying down (mentally). The romance of a European sunset. The void of a cynical questioning mind will ruin you. Fired with a smile. “Self-compassion me”. Eartha Kitt’s Santa Baby. The windows are heating up with that egg smell. Being shot by your nephew with a nerf gun while having a passive-aggressive convo about the quality of the pancakes with your sister in law. Christmas belongs to children. 98 Degrees. Christmas dom (woman with barrel curls). Atemporality. Wood grain and clear. Have an amazing Ian Mckellen holiday season! 🎄✨
