  • It's Not That Simple.

    This week's episode is philosophical, and we dive into some misconceptions, labels, and patterns of thinking that we as a society continue to take part in. When we were young, we both thought the world was black and white. But what if that's not true. We talk about the complexities and many layers of our world, and how it is not in fact black and white like we were taught to believe. Enjoy!

  • The Best TV Shows!!!

    Hey guyssss! Today we talked about some of our favorite TV shows that we’ve watched, including all sorts of genres and types from dramatic reality to comedy fiction. These all have really good plots and hopefully you find one you like! Most of these are fitted for teenagers, and lots are family friendly. However, some are more intense than others, so make sure to do some research of your own before watching something a little more mature than is appropriate for you. Also, because next week is finals week, we will not be posting, but we will be back to regular scheduled programming next to next week! Enjoy!
