It’s Daniel’s birthday episode — thirty (redacted) and thriving! 🥳 This week, Daniel has some serious thoughts about cupcakes. They look cute, but are they actually fun to eat? He makes the case for cake being the superior option (and the politics of cupcakes being way deeper than you’d think). Meanwhile, Luisa points out the harsh truth: if you want a birthday party as an adult, you better plan it yourself.Daniel also dives into his new obsession with eBay — the treasure trove of cool, random finds — while Luisa gets reflective about the magic we once had as kids before society came along and made us forget it. It’s a fun, reflective, and very “birthday vibes” episode. 💛You can find all previous episodes here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSJN2UhlVX8WX6-xO7MrZ-zdtrVGJrDKW&si=U_RLuoQk8ELYEHf5✨ Share with a friend!📸 Follow us on IG: https://instagram.com/shouldweleavepod📱 Hang out on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@shouldweleave⭐️ And be sure to LEAVE us 5 stars!🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2T2F8j90nx4ubEthVrLFRP?si=75f615a519c140e5🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/should-we-leave/id1785771748Follow Luisa https://instagram.com/luisalangehttps://tiktok.com/@luiaslangeisajokeFollow Danielhttps://instagram.com/danielheadhttps://tiktok.com/@danyul_h3d About Should We Leave??Should We Leave?? is a comedy podcast about knowing when to ghost the group chat, Irish exit the party, or lean into what actually brings you joy. Hosted by two best friends navigating their 30s in New York City, each episode unpacks pop culture, personal chaos, and the everyday moments that make you wonder: Should I stay... or should I leave? With new recurring segments, unfiltered opinions, and Notes-app confessions, it’s the podcast for anyone who loves a good time—but loves leaving even more.

Luisa talks about her cursed Buffalo Exchange experiences. When she’s buying, she’s a valued customer. When she’s selling, they could not care less if she lives or dies. Daniel gets candid about the weird guilt of sharing bougie adventures and why we shouldn’t always shrink ourselves just to make other people comfortable. From planning to win the Powerball to redesigning car horns to reminding ourselves that this podcast is supposed to be a great escape, Episode 30 is full of hunched-over, belly-aching laughs.

About Should We Leave??

Should We Leave?? is a comedy podcast about knowing when to ghost the group chat, Irish exit the party, or lean into what actually brings you joy. Hosted by two best friends navigating their 30s in New York City, each episode unpacks pop culture, personal chaos, and the everyday moments that make you wonder: Should I stay... or should I leave? With new recurring segments, unfiltered opinions, and Notes-app confessions, it’s the podcast for anyone who loves a good time—but loves leaving even more.

Luisa shares the story of her SNL audition that didn’t land (it's okay, it's okay, something bigger is on the horizon). Daniel makes the case for bringing back a little gatekeeping—especially when it comes to Ticketmaster wars—and also unpacks how he and Stevie almost got caught in a $65K scam. We round things out with Luisa finding peace in watching rich people be rich, and Daniel raging against children in TV shows like Invasion who nearly doom their families with one loud cry. SHUT UP.
