Hi hello. This week our girls make a surprise appearance and deliver some unexpected ASMR.

The Winter Olympics wrapped and we have questions. Specifically about curling. Is it strategy? Is it cheating? Is it suspicious? We don’t know. But we have thoughts.

Plus, we’re listing a few things that are deeply, annoyingly overrated. If you’re easily offended, maybe stretch first. Let’s go.

It’s a banned book week, and we’re discussing The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It’s a quick read, haunting and eerily close to Plath’s own lived experience. Some call it a pseudobiography. We call it unforgettable.

Please take care while listening. This episode includes discussion of mental health and suicide.

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, you can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time. It’s free, confidential, and available 24/7.

The game? Meh. The ads? Tragically mid. And as two marketers, we feel personally victimized by both.

Carey proposes that we make Read a Book in the Bath Day a recognized holiday while Deb is fresh back from an impromptu trip to Florida.
