Chaos? We’ve lived it. We’ve dodged it. And sometimes… we’ve caused it. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi break down how to keep your cool when the universe, politics, and your social calendar are all trying you at once.

From Mercury Retrograde turning texts into disasters, to Trump’s DC takeover feeling like a low-budget horror sequel, to the whiplash of going from Market Days glitter to back-to-reality blues, we’re unpacking how to survive the chaos without becoming the villain in your own story. Is it all bad luck—or are we just living through Freakier Friday?

Plus, we test our composure in two games: Chill or Spill?, where we decide if wild scenarios deserve zen energy or full dramatics, and DC or Dictator?, the shocking trivia game that proves truth is stranger than fiction.

If you’ve ever been ghosted during retrograde, rerouted by the National Guard, or just felt like life had you in the splash zone—this one’s for you. Don’t lose your cool… unless it’s funny.

💡 “In retrograde, even your patience is in reverse.”

Rejection? We’ve felt it. We’ve feared it. And we’ve definitely taken it personally—until now. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi get real about the sting of rejection and how to bounce back with grace, delusion, and a little glitter.

From not getting cast in dream roles (NuNu, we're hugging you) to being passed over in D.C.’s nightlife and fitness scenes, we unpack what it means to be told “no” as queer POC in our 30s. Is rejection always a bad thing—or is it protection in disguise?

Plus, we take rejection for a spin in “Reject or Respect?”, a messy game where we judge questionable behavior and unhinged dating profiles like our healing depends on it (because it kind of does).

If you’ve ever been ghosted, benched, or professionally overlooked, this one’s for you. Don’t let the “no” stop your glow.

💡 “Rejection is redirection.”

Wait! Don’t Do the Talking Stage Forever 💬

We’ve all been there—weeks of texting, flirting, maybe even hanging out… but still no official title? This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi are joined by Adam and Christine of the InPress dating app to ask: Why do we stay stuck in the talking stage?

From ghosting and breadcrumbing to avoiding the “What are we?” convo, we unpack all the messy reasons modern dating feels like purgatory. Plus, we spill our own talking stage horror stories and play a chaotic round of Red Flag, Green Flag, Beige Flag with some questionable dating behaviors.

If you’ve ever been haunted by a “wyd?” text at 11PM or left waiting for a text that never came, this episode is your sign to move on, level up, and never settle for maybes.

💡 “If they wanted to, they would.”

We stared at the eclipse and we still had to go back to work. While economists report we are in a "golden job market", inflation says otherwise and the way these companies are treating employees, we aren't too confident in the future of the economy.

This week we talk about toxic work place habits, not paying your phone bill, and being creatives in an ever-changing climate.
