  • Do young people need religion?
    Danny believes in God and Marlena does not. They talk about how their respective upbringings shaped their value systems.
    The essay Marlena mentions is by JUSTIN Cronin, not Josh, not Jason, JUSTIN Cronin. She sincerely apologizes to this wonderful writer for being such an idiot. The essay is called "My Daughter and God" and can be found here: https://www.narrativemagazine.com/issues/spring-2014/nonfiction/my-daughter-and-god-justin-cronin

  • Creative success without a social media following?
    Danny and Marlena are very proud of this episode because they didn't have to edit it at all. They talk candidly about taking breaks from social media, the career pressure to have a social media presence, and the type of "content" they post to their respective social media accounts.

  • Why don't young people vote more?
    In the midst of the 2018 Midterm Elections, Danny and Marlena are feeling politically festive and want to discuss why young, "woke" people don't vote. In an attempt to become informed voters, they set to learn more about California's Prop 8 on votesaveamerica.com. They were marginally successful.

  • Living at home in your twenties
    Danny and Marlena try their hand at a second episode by discussing their experiences of living at home as twenty-somethings. Marlena ran a half-marathon and Danny was offered coke in a bathroom. They both saw 'A Star is Born' and have some hot-takes to share about the movie. Marlena keeps awkwardly opening and closing her water bottle (yep, that's what that sound is) and Danny just wants to be cut out of the episode entirely. This is a wild one, folks. The only place to go from here is up. So, subscribe why don't cha?? (This description was written at 2:18 AM YOU'RE WELCOME)
