Why Are You Like This?

On this week’s FUPDATE, we’re offering you another math problem or algorithmic hack to solve your dating or house hunting problem… even more helpful if you are trying to date a house. Can math actually help us out in these situations? We’ll tell you what some experts says.

Of all the subcultures, this is the one that somehow allowed us to start with a conversation surrounding Jack Sparrow cosplay. We’ve got thoughts on grade school field trips, the adults living for “Ren Fair” culture, and what historians are saying about the time period itself. It’s a long winding road full of turkey drumsticks and blacksmith gimmicks on our way to see the knights joust.

This week on the podcast, we’re digging into all the reasons we won’t listen to the band our friend suggested and yet can’t help telling said friend what movie they should be watching.  It’s that itch that we feel when we think we know what’s good for someone, but can’t possibly believe they know what’s good for us. What’s easy to give but hard to take? Unsolicited advice— we’ll tell you about it. 

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your June WHOROSCOPES have 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 going off the grid. We debunk some of our own thoughts about why people choose to go off grid and the what “off the grid” means to different folks. We’re talking trading child labor for gasoline, pooping in holes, and one very interesting dating show. So, which parts are we ready to sign up for? Oh, we’ll tell you…

Okay. So we’re in that part of the pandemic where it seems like adults throwing temper tantrums on airplanes and yelling about wearing masks literally anywhere is the norm, especially if we’re using our social media timelines to prove it. So, it begs the question, “Why?” Why is everyone a seemingly worse driver and a seemingly ruder person? Well, we’ve got some thoughts.

Ah yes, this week we’re discussing not only one of our favorite Jim Carey movies but also some interesting delusions that have been named for it. They say ‘art imitates life’ and perhaps so do delusions. Without the Truman Show or reality television, would anyone be worried their eyes were cameras to begin with? Tune in to find out— we’d let *some* of you watch our show. 

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

Ancient Aliens, eh? Did we do an episode on this already? We’ll, actually no… or at least not this one. This week on the podcast, we’re digging into the backstory of the cultural phenomenon and when exactly the History Channel went from World War II documentaries to wild theories about extraterrestrial life.

Ask and you shall receive this week… When we took a look at the work of somatic sexologist and sex educator Jaiya, featured in Sex, Love and goop, we were shook by a better scale to describe our own erotic style. But we still felt like there was something to be desired in that space, and leave it to a listener to send along something that helped fit the bill. This is not a sex podcast except when it is, and this week it is thanks to a friend of the show as we dive into the Purple-Red Scale of Attraction.
