Becky’s sick, Taina’s tired, and somehow that makes for the best kind of messy conversation. From writing smut to why summer feels like winter, this grab bag episode runs the gamut of sex, TV, astrology, and systemic injustice.
Discussed in this episode:
- What it’s really like to write sex scenes (and why it’s more about logistics than lust)
- Becky’s prudish confessions about watching intimacy on screen
- Love Is Blind: Brazil – Over 50 and why watching older women date is surprisingly joyful
- British comfort TV vs. American sensory-overload reality shows
- Astrology, natal charts, and why New Year’s actually starts in Scorpio or Virgo season
- Why summer feels like winter and autumn brings the most creativity
- Becky’s son’s “welcome to capitalism” moment with a half-empty bag of chips
- Activism that disrupts power at the table, not just in the streets
- The parallels between Baltimore and St. Louis: segregation, schools, and systemic inequities
- Infrastructure failures, unsafe water, and the privilege required to access safety
