Welcome to the holiday hellscape! From unexpected spending that leaves your wallet on a diet, to social obligations making you question your life choices, we've got it all. Join us as we share our mishaps, navigate the festive minefield, and sprinkle in some survival tips to keep your sanity intact.
Tune in to hear us (and Paul and Maggie) compare our spending choices and reveal our favorite and least favorite gifts ever received. Best of all, one thing this episode makes abundantly clear: the Grinch is real and his name is Kirk.
Hosted by Maggie, Paul, Erica (@erica_megan), and Kirk (@kirk.charles).

In this week’s episode we’re getting personally (and a little bit petty) as we discuss toxic relationships. We know them, and certainly don’t love them, but we sure do love to talk about them. From lovers to friends and everything in between, we’re spilling tea on toxic relationships.
Tune in to find out why Kirk is so obsessed with being like Erica, and listen to Andrew pretend he’s ever spoken to a girl who isn’t his mom or landlord.
Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), and Andrew (@andrwjn).

Hosted by Paul, Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), and Andrew (@andrwjn).

We're back from a quick holiday break to head back to the polls. Well, the type of polls that are consistently wrong and meaningless. That's right, as part two of our last episode about elections we are talking about the surveys that are supposed to tell us where the country is leaning and who to vote for — or do they really?!
Featuring the most cursed impression of Trump you'll ever hear!

Aww shit! Here we go again!
America just had a round of elections this November and we're gearing up for the presidential election a year from now. Today we explore why this election cycle feels weird, the Trump of it all, and the possibility Limp Bizkit may have caused 9/11.

On this week’s episode we’re putting our resident straight white man, Andrew, in the hot seat. And the best part? No Kirk!
We’re stepping into the mind of a straight white man as Erica works to understand her late cat’s biracial identity. Tune in as we answer the age old question of “Why are white guys like that?”

While Erica takes time off from the podcast for personal reasons, Paul returns to fill in as her replacement. We may be a few days late but we still have that spooky spirit as we discuss what costumes not to wear this Halloween, our favorite costumes from our youth, and why no group of white men should ever be given microphones.

Let's celebrate Erica's birthday in the most fitting way possible: by letting Erica take control yet again and talk about one of her favorite subjects.
