In their sixth episode, these interracial adoptive siblings unpack a whirlwind of topics that hit close to home. With Mother's Day fresh in their minds, Hannah shares her heartfelt reflections on being an adoptee during this holiday and how her journey into motherhood has reshaped her views on her birth mother. 🌷

Meanwhile, Greg delves into the MOMS Bill, a hot-button proposal by Senator Katie Britt aimed at creating a national database for pregnant individuals, sparking a dialogue on pro-life resources and the choice to become parents in an uncertain world. 🤰

But wait, there's more! The duo takes on the global issues marginalized people are facing, juxtaposing it against the opulence of this year's MET Gala theme, "the garden of time," which seems to paint a dystopian picture of society's future. 💫

Despite the weighty topics, Greg and Hannah manage to keep spirits high throughout, even treating listeners to a little Flight of the Conchords sing-along! 🎶 So, don't miss out on this rollercoaster of thought-provoking conversation and contagious optimism.

Tune in now, and remember, no matter how bleak things may seem, we should always remain curious to consider how we might imbue hope into our horizon! ☀️

In their fifth episode, Hannah and Greg, discuss the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The chorus of Kendrick's latest track repeats "They Not Like Us" over an unapologetic, unmistakably West Coast beat; however, the question that quickly emerges during this episode is who are transracial adoptees most like -- Drake or Kendrick? And in what ways? Through their commentary, Hannah and Greg begin to notice parallels in the internal and external conflicts created due to insecure identity and arrested development.
