This week we're unpacking an apparently very deep admiration for kitchen gadgets! In a continuation of our PowerPoint presentation parties, Mickey got catfished into listening to a presentation that started about kitchen gadgets and turned into something entirely different. We take only a few detours this week to briefly touch on Mickey's obsession with Doechii's new album, how much we love Discord (shameless plug for the link below), and our distress about getting old! We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

This week Mickey is sharing their love of soup with y'all in the form of a PowerPoint presentation party! But virtually! Soup is perfect and soup is everything so we get into why that's irrefutably true and also make the case for lots of food items actually being soup. We also take some brief detours to talk about the sanitizing of pop music, Mickey's health updates, and some public speaking tips for some reason. We hope y'all enjoy the episode!

This week we're talking about D&D because it's Mickey's hyperfixation and because Reddit has a looooot to say! We're sharing some of our hottest takes about the game and the ttrpg hobby in general so don't leave us out here alone! Share your own controversial takes and feelings about D&D in the comments! Obviously we get lost along the way and take some tangents to talk about The Secret Life of the American Teenager AGAIN, Mickey's conspiracy theories about Meta platform ads and how AI and social media are fueling propaganda! What a fun and totally cohesive episode! See ya next week!

This week we're delving into the world of potatoes! Not just because Mickey has some weirdly apt info to dump but also because we have strong opinions about the spud as two neurodivergent weirdos that we want to share with y'all! We get into the history of potatoes, including a tangent into the Irish potato "famine", rank our favorite ways to prepare the veg and get into some heated debate that Mickey is absolutely and totally right in! Share your potato lists with us below so we can all fight about it!

These week we're permitting Paul a few minutes out of timeout merely to discuss his latest glaring example of what terrible communication, failing as a partner, and coercive behavior could look like. In theory. This latest Paul and Morgan vlog is really concerning so we're unpacking the issues with it and setting the record straight about how to handle these hypothetical situations in a way that promotes the safety and empowerment of everyone! Because it's us we also get sidetracked talking about our misadventures at the used book store, the time our cat pooped in the car, and our latest reality tv obsession. It's all related I swear! We hope you all enjoy the episode and don't forget to like it and leave us reviews! See ya in two weeks!

This week we're unpacking the topic of radical unschooling because @SAVYWRITESBOOKS made a video about the topic that absolutely blew my mind. We spend some time talking about what a terrible trend this is and the potential impact of it on things like politics and culture but of course we take some tangents too. We get lost talking about Mickey's hatred of the DFW airport, our obsession with DanDaDan (and the intro music) and our hope for the future and our ability to connect with one another! We hope you enjoy the episode!

This week we're unpacking Mickey's undying hatred for the way that corporations are gamifying everything to try and co-opt our attention spans! What an uplifting topic, I know. Don't worry though because while we're going to complain a lot about microtransactions, our lowered threshold for understimulation and dopamine we're also going to paradoxically play a silly little guess the object game like last week! We, of course, get distracted and take some tangents to talk about the latest trends in Mormon hanky panky, a rant about high control religions, and our pitch for not starting the new year until Spring! We hope y'all enjoy the episode!

Welcome back to the pod everyone! After taking a break fro the holidays and/or new year we're back! This week we're talking about Meta's decision add fake AI profiles to their platforms because (wtf is that), the fact that kids don't even understand how to intelligently cheat anymore, and then Mickey quizzes Aaron on baby products because why not?! We obviously get distracted and talk about the TikTok ban, how Aaron would carry me around if I was a worm, and what being punk ACTUALLY is thank you very much. We hope y'all enjoy the episode!

This week we're bringing y'all an accidental variety show because our brains did the ADHD thing this episode! Oops. We've got musings about the concept of "having it all", car dealership strategies, and how much we hate having to participate in capitalism, plus some MRI updates, and our hopes to start a call in segment of the pod so we can answer y'alls questions! We get lost along the way to talk about middle school chain texts, our car's fender getting ripped off, and Mickey's inability to be punk. We hope y'all enjoy the episode!

This week we're unpacking the docuseries Glitter and Greed about Lisa Frank because it's a hyperfixation of Mickey's and we recently watched it and really enjoyed it! We're covering the story of how Lisa Frank came to be and the the infighting in the company between Lisa and her now ex husband James and all the drama in between! Of course we take some tangents to talk about the recent UHC incident, Aaron having a bad day, and why Mickey and Aaron both identify so strongly with crows. We hope you're having a good day and that you enjoy the episode!
