Remember applying to colleges without a single YouTube tutorial in sight, lofting your own dorm bed without approval, and taking "never doing this again" 8am classes? Yeah, we do too, and we’re not holding back.

If you (barely) survived your own college years in the ‘80s and ‘90s, this one’s for you. Hear us flail through questionable life choices (and the lifelong friends who got us through them) and how we're prepping our Gen Z spawn for their own college daze.

We’re baaaack! Season seven kicks off the only way we know how: with absolute chaos. And by chaos, we mean a hysterical round of Kiss, Marry, [something].

What starts as harmless hypotheticals spirals into hot takes on Furries, a very sexy talking car, and a total meltdown over the rules (because do they even exist?).

Buckle up for an episode full of the unhinged logic you’ve come to expect from us because honestly, the rules never mattered anyway.

Season 6 of the podcast is wrapping up—and in true Gen X fashion, we’re doing it our way: a little chaotic, a little nostalgic, and completely unfiltered. For this special season finale, all four of us (yes, miracles happen!) are finally able to record at the same tme, answering the questions you—our gloriously curious, sarcastic, and slightly unhinged Facebook group—sent in. From deep thoughts to weird rabbit holes, nothing’s off limits. It’s part AMA, part group therapy, and 100% real. You’re welcome. (or… maybe sorry?)
