Why Are You Like This?

This week on the podcast, we repeatedly offer disclaimers to remind you we aren’t giving you parenting advice as we talk through the handling of bullies. The times we were so embarrassed when an adult tried to intervene in school bus teasing, to the only really helpful folks to ever step in. When were we bullies? We’ll tell you that too. So, don’t tell your Mom or whatever.

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into one of the lesser appreciated emotions— rage. Is it ever productive? What is actually happening in our brains and bodies when we experience rage? And are these defense attorneys on Law & Order claiming their client was experiencing a rage blackout and had no awareness or control onto something or full of shit? We’re getting into it as we we talk about at least one Real Housewife who is seeing red.

This week on the podcast we’re talking about Narcissism and it’s many forms. It seems like lately everyone projects narcissism onto their exes after taking that one internet quiz called, “How to Tell if Your Ex is a Narcissist.” Is that why we throw this term around as freely as we throw around ‘Psychopath’? And is there ever a time being a bit of a Narcissist is actually quite a good thing? We’ll get into it and try our hardest to make it all about you.

This week on the podcast we’re talking about the religious movement you didn’t even know you had never heard of— Raelism. Speaking of religious movements, what separates one from simply being a community or going as far as being a cult? We get into the nuances. We’re talking UFOs, the Age of Apocalypse, human cloning and somehow also the Playboy Mansion. Not to mention where they’re keeping the blueprints for alien embassies... so brace yourself.

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what September has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into our deepest secrets. From government conspiracies to having affairs, secrets seem to creep into every part of society. What about those open secrets that we’re not acknowledging we all know anyway? We’ll dig into why maybe keeping secrets is just plain bad for you and how hiding information might not be as stressful as just thinking about the fact that you’re attempting to. Secrets can certainly divide us, but they also bring us closer together... so, are they ever a good idea?

This week on the podcast, we’re talking all about Chick-fil-a... yes, actually. Midst an anecdote of one of the weirdest things Jaimi has ever done, we discuss how we can or cannot reconcile our values with our consumption, how an establishment can become a symbol, and party games you thought kids only played at band camp. So, get ready to walk through the drive-thru. It’ll be our pleasure.

This week on the podcast, we’re getting into the sticky conversations of asking for that book back and the folks we wouldn’t even lend a pencil. We’re talking all things borrowing— the social norms, the tougher parts to navigate, a forgotten John Goodman movie, and what kinds of personality traits actually make someone a better candidate for a loan. Soooo... can we have the twenty bucks we lent you back?

This week on the podcast, we’re digging into our Sixth Sense... do we have one? We both try it out and argue (with perhaps some overconfidence) about how we feel we could probably predict some things pretty accurately. Oh! And what about all this, “Nostradamus predicted COVID-19!” stuff? Well, we’re going there too. Get out your crystal balls because there are some pretty interesting things right behind the curtain.

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what August has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!
