New year, new mic, same old bull shit! One year ago today we posted our first, and what we were 90% sure would be our last, episode. Now one year, 12 episodes, 200 plays, a global pandemic, and many many bottles of wine later, we are still here. Thank you so much to everyone who has put up with our shenanigans and continued to support us. Just for you is an egregiously long episode. I hope you enjoy! Erin tells the story of the kung fu king Cantona! story time starts at 1:15. Also sorry for the 2 adds. I accidentally put it twice and can't figure out how to delete the second one 馃槄

If you couldn't stand the awful audio quality of the full episode I went through and got the least crackly parts for your listening pleasure. After minute 5 or so there aren't any awful blips or crackles. Thanks for listening!

We're Back!!!!!!!

Sorry for the extended hiatus! Erin started grad school and can't deal with life currently. This episode has some horrific audio problems that three different noise reduction programs couldn't fix. (I did my best.) Anyways if you can sit through the crackling then we've got a really great episode with some amazing stories in store for you. I recommend not using headphones. If you can't I'm going to upload another version of this episode that is only the parts with the least crackling.聽

Without further ado.

In this episode, Julia regales us with tales of tasers, lollipops, and bumble. Erin talks butt touching and Tinder in Korea.
