This week we’re celebrating a small but meaningful milestone—our 10th episode! Double digits may not seem like much, but for us, it’s a reason to get a little sentimental… and a little chaotic. To mark the occasion, we asked you to send in your hottest takes, and you definitely delivered. From bold claims about Friends and The Office to passionate rants about slow walkers and what makes someone a bad actor, we react, debate, and occasionally spiral.
We also dive into the growing influence (and sometimes absurdity) of celebrity brands, and whether the public is starting to catch on—or still blindly buying every overpriced lip gloss and tequila. As always, we share our current obsessions of the week, and wrap it up by discussing an inspiring commencement speech that actually hit us in the feels and got us thinking deeper… for once.
If you’ve been with us from the start or just found us—thanks for being part of the ride. Here's to 10 episodes of laughs, opinions we may regret later, and a podcast with the emotional depth of a kiddie pool (on a good day).
