All right, folks. This whole “pandemic” and “State of Emergency” doesn’t seem to be going anywhere (the quotations are really a double sarcastic joke because there quite literally IS a pandemic and a State of Emergency and, you see, the joke is there without the quotation marks but when you tack them on it’s a double helping, you see?) so we decided it’s finally time to circle back to how and why we started this podcast to begin with:

We are two 30-something-year-old women who were born and raised in the Protestant Christian Evangelical Pentecostal Assemblies of God faith and it’s high time we broke down for you what that means and what we believed, which now, all these years later, still informs and influences how we see the world.

This is definitely a pivotal episode, a bit of a prologue and/or caveat to all of our conversations. Thanks for listening, and we truly do hope this provides some insight into either your own experiences or maybe someone’s who you know and love.

3. Fabletics lounge bras (bought one after being sold out forever, told a friend about it, manifested it in black, it’s on its way)…if you ask nicely on IG, I’ll link you . ;)

2. White Fragility: Why it’s so hard for white people to talk about racism

1. The buy to beat them all…go listen!

It took these 2 white women our entire lives to learn about Juneteenth, its significance, historical implications—even its EXISTENCE. This week on the pod, we’re breaking down just a few of the elements of the Black Lives Matter movement we have been ignorant to and poorly educated on and some of the ways we’re going to try to do better and know more.

Our hearts are heavy with our black friends and family members and communities. We are white. We are sorry for our silent “non-racism.” And we’re committed to being anti-racists and raising them.

A NOTE FROM THE HOSTS:

This episode of What the Hell?! was recorded before the horrific act of unjustice through the police murder of George Floyd in Minnesota. This is a time, as it always is, to amplify black voices, for non-Black communities to unlearn all the ways we are complicit in racism, and raise a generation of anti-racists beneath us to recognize Black lives matter and behave as such.

Many of us are marching, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we know not every Black person or ally. Click here for 47 organizations you can donate to right now to support Black lives via @biancaxgarcia. Our next Amazon impulse buys can wait.

On our 20th episode of What the Hell?! we’re talking about birth control, our experiences with it, when we started and why, and some of the more controversial types (or is it) we’ve dabbled in (cough, Plan B, cough) plus of course covering all the reasons we need it…and despise it.

On the list of Necessary Evils, you’re pretty high, BC.

We learned it in Sunday school…the body is a temple. So does that make our faces the steeple? (If this doesn’t prompt you to interlace you’re fingers, flip them upside down, wiggle them around and exclaim “Where’s all the people!,” do you even Jesus?)

On this episode of What the Hell, we’re breaking down our skincare routines and giving you the DL on not only our top picks from skin to eyes to lips, but also touching on the why of our regimens, our skin insecurities, and what we think men should be doing to take care of their skin. HINT: sunscreen is king, your ear entryway could be showing its butt (and by that we mean wrinkles).

From pre-production to post, the difference between scripted and unscripted, and the ethics of putting together a reality TV show, this week we’re talking about our experiences in Hollywooooood!

Welp, Brittany and Tiffany took a week off…or was it a year? What is time anymore, TBQH. We don’t know.

But what we do know is the headlines these past 2 weeks from the rich, the famous, and the otherwise have been notable, at least for the time being. We’re covering everything from Tik Tok dances to the Be Kind Kween Ellen De Generes’s public backlash to the best trash TV around, and YOU are cordially invited.

It’s our Sweet 16(th episode)!

While still chatting from afar, Brittany and Tiffany are taking to the interwebs to procure questions for each other we’ve never thought of before. Try out these Quarantine Questions with your BFF during your next FaceTime happy hour and spend a few blissful minutes with us pretending the world. isn’t. happening.

Oh haiiiiiiii, me. It’s really nice to see you and only you for the last 2+ weeks. Haven’t had enough of you, TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!

*CRINGE* At this point we’re honestly pretty sick of ourselves so we’re at least trying to be productive by intentionally and sometimes accidentally learning new things! From how to store perishable vegetables for insane lengths of time to homeschooling and no-more underestimating the importance of sunshine, Brittany and Tiffany are filling each other in on all the things they’re learning while in Coronavirus lockdown.
