I. Shezza’ Personal Space realizes dating’s no big deal... when you’re not really into him and he’s flaking out anyway. Can I get a witness?
II. Please don’t ever ask Amy to or try to lure her in with the request, “Show me yo booty hole.” Hetero men, get it together... while we pick apart the Jizz Wisdom (or complete lack thereof) in ultra-obscene lyrics.
III. We’re Gender Bent on Boston Marriages a.k.a Shezza’s subtle serial-monogomy.
IV. The World at Large ponders a recent University of Montreal study finding out gay/ bi people to be happier and less stressed than their hetero counterparts. We be straight trippin.
LISTEN through to the end for a TASTY treat.
Do cowboy boots make the man? Shezza and Amy discuss gender and disposition as dictated through wardrobe choices.
Canaan contributes some dubious Jizz Wisdom about submitting to a lovers’ master plan. Don’t try to change a man, even if that’s what he says he wants. The vags-in-charge vouch for self-realization.
Playtex debuts “Fresh and Sexy Wipes” and our heads explode.
Let’s just say the world at large is not as Font-astic as Shezza would hope. Needs moar Courier, ban Comic Sans.
Does your Personal Space involve a sexual fantasy sans other people? Shezza bathes in the concept while Amy thinks it’s a little abstract.
Shezza reads Jizz Wisdom from Jason Haggstrom regarding the movie Alien and the overwhelming idea that plagues men everywhere - Vagina Dentata. It’s a meaty discourse. Gross.
Real dolls get Gender Bent, do you own anything so elaborate? We’d love to know... well, Shezza would.
Lastly, it’s bad enough that there’s a ‘women’s lifestyle’ site called ‘the Frisky’ but the fact that they’re insulting us with their relationship advice? Please. We got into it anyway. Hear our analysis of their article “9 Reasons You Suck at Relationships and How to Get Better.”
Then take a warm bath. With candles. And a dental dam.
Personal Space. Boobs. More accurately, Shezza’s disinterest in them, image cohesion and their comparison to ‘buttocks’.
Amy’s lil bro and the 16-22yo male demo has inspired the Jizz Wisdom this week with the ‘popular phrase’ “Fuck bitches, get money” (almost 30yo Amy mistakenly rants on ‘Fuck bitches, get paid’) a.k.a “Disregard females, acquire currency”. Is this an indication of fallout from feminism? As a note, we don’t condone this phrase.
Moon face Gender Bent explores the new definition of attractiveness, women with round, flat, pale faces. Backlash to guido orange or evolution in our beauty ideals?
Lastly we touch on the World at Large topic of Internet-related mental illness, specifically influenced by The Stranger’s fall 2012 article on Munchausen by Internet. Before you head of to World of Warcraft rehab let us know what you think.
We Need Feedback. And as always, thanks for listening, we love you.
JohnECapcom of podomatic's own Sidecast joins us for this minicast where he tells of grocery store trials and tribulations, flirting confusion and how comedy is in the eye of the beholder. So behold.
This week we start with the Personal Space between Shezza and Amy and how friend love is different from romantic pursuit. "Let me just explain where I’m coming from..."
We take our Jizz Wisdom from Sidecast’s John E Capcom’s proclamation that “The most interesting things to DO are weird people.” We’d love to know, Who’s the weirdest person you’ve slept with or dated OR have you ever involved yourself with someone ONLY for the story?
In Gender Bent we’re pretty gender conforming. Girls dissecting methods of flirtation. Do guys actively flirt? Or is it so much more simplistic than that? Amy wants to find the line between literal imposition and building a mystery.
Your Vags in Residence break down the painted facade of the World At Large by dissecting all things political fashion crisis - Michelle Obama’s bangs, Kate Middleton’s portrait, Carla Bruni, Dennis Kucinich...
Let us know ALL your thoughts on ANY of these topics and/or please give any feedback on the podcast overall now that we’re 3 shows deep. Thanks for listening, we love you.
We kick off with shout outs to Tayne Kim and Panda Sanchez for our awesome intro music, and Neesh and her Neeshcast and the crew of Sidecast - both podcasts of which can be found here on podomatic.
Personal Space this week is voyeurrific when we talk about Snapchat and the window through which we show ourselves to the people we’re contemplating dating.
Jizz Wisdom is all over the place over Kanye West and Shez’s defense of his intellect and Amy’s confusion over the validity of his image.(Note: Street cred will be counted at the end.)
Amy taps the rage in this week’s Gender Bent over a Jezebel article, “Get out of my Gay Bar, Straight Girl.” We discuss the supposed lesbian perspective, the disgruntled bisexual critique and the open and amused straight stance. Should your queer corner be commodified?
Lastly, the World at Large is all about everyone’s favorite things, Memes! Shez presupposes life before memes but we discuss analog memes and what existed first, California raises and skateboard culture and how they paved the way for Grumpy Cat and... Y U NO JUST LISTEN!?
Thanks for tuning in. Please comment, critique and share, we’re eager to hear from you. Love!
Personal Space is all about Shezza's imagainary boyfriend list and Amy's over-devotion to River Phoenix.
Jizz Wisdom comes from Stephen King's philosophy of seduction.
Amy's Gender Bent on young male leads from all her favorite 80s movies. Shezza's only counter is April from TMNT.
And the world at large is going Vegan, we dissect the socioeconomic implications and how totally fucked the children of today are.
