We Don't Cook on Fridays

We need to lighten up… which is exactly what we’re doing (a whole lot more yellow than slate grey).

In this episode, we’re giving up on the self-reflection and just chatting about all of our favourite, most random, most regrettable purchases we’ve made through quarantine and beyond.

We’re also airing out our biggest battles as friends—Apple Music vs. Spotify, if Arby’s is the best fast food chain, and whether pans should be stored inside the oven—and crown Andy Cohen as The King of Bravo (ok, this one is all over the place, but it’s fun, WE PROMISE).

Setting boundaries—and sticking to them—can be scary AF, but they are so, SO important for building strong, lasting relationships with the people in your life.

It’s time to slow it down and reflect on your boundaries—have you set them? Are you enforcing them? Do you know what happens when people keep crossing them?

It’s time to go order some takeout… and then maybe call your therapist.

What did you do in your early twenties that you would do differently now?

In this episode, Laur and Andy Cam expose themselves and their habits from their early twenties, sharing how they’ve grown and become ✨real adults✨ (ok maybe not THAT real, but growth is growth).

One of them was passionate about a goopy acne cream, the other had a habit of stuffing used socks in between the couch cushions, and they’ve both spent their fair share of time in the Denver airport—but how many of these habits are still around today?

We’re heading to the mountains this week with our second dinner guest Meg Patterson!

As one of Andy Cam’s BFFs from high school, Meg is here to share how she made the transition from a trailer in her sister’s driveway in the smallest of towns in Ontario to her dream apartment in Calgary, Alberta! Meg is currently getting ready to launch her business in holistic nutrition, she is an aspiring professional scooter-er, and she really has the best game with her Bumble matches.

It’s safe to say that Meg learned a lot from a relationship that lasted a decade, living in small places, and how to get back in the game, and she’s here to lay down the tips.

Somehow, more than a year of our mid-twenties has been spent in a global pandemic, and we’ve got some feelings about it…

We’re looking back on the past year with mixed emotions. We’ve made the questionable Amazon purchases, we gave in to the TikTok addiction, and we definitely binged the hell out of Tiger King. But we’ve also experienced pandemic burnout and lived lockdown like a bad yo-yo diet—and it’s all part of living through ✨unprecedented times✨.

The tiniest light is starting to become visible at the end of this crazy long tunnel, but it’s time to look back on the past year of the panoramic and see what we’ve learned.

We’re going across the pond this week with our third detective Samantha Jean!!

Sam joins the party from London, England, where she’s been living and teaching for the past two years. Sam shares all the things she’s learned in her various international experiences, including an Australian gig where she found herself fleeing the scene at 6 AM in a Jeep on the wrong side of the road, and England, where she regularly can be found creating videos for her students dressed as a gingerbread person or a mermaid.

Sam shares her favourite memories of living with Laur and Andy Cam back in the day, and what it’s really like to be a rookie firry person (hint: it’s the best).

What do two ex-social media managers, the Olive Garden and the panopticon have in common? Nothing, you say? Everything, we say.

In the latest episode of We Don’t Cook on Fridays, Laur and Andy Cam share their experiences making the transition from students to real-life working adults, with a little bit of headlight cleaner and some side hustlin’ in between.

For all you arts alum: the panopticon is back to haunt you again—but really, when you think about it, did it ever really go anywhere?

Disclaimer: these are our own experiences and we acknowledge the privilege that’s helped us get to where we are.

Dating? During a panini? There’s no way…

In this episode, hear some of Laur and Andy Cam’s past dating stories, their top tips for online dating, and the story of a man, his bike, and a cat named Sparkle Tangerine. They’ve been through drafting szn, they’ve cleared their rosters, and they’ve discovered the beauty of single life—especially when it’s by choice, not by default.

Your new favourite mid-twenties gals have started a podcast. Coming to you from Kitchener-Waterloo, Andy Cam and Laur are talking about all things career, relationships, friendships, mental health—you name it, we'll probably cover it. We don't cook on Fridays, and neither should you...consider this your invite to dinner with us (specifically Captain Lee, Stud of the Sea). Go order some takeout, it's been a long week.
