Why Are You Like This?

This week on the podcast, Austin takes us down another TikTok inspired rabbit hole into the concept of Time Slips. These seemingly unintentional slips into the literal past have us asking a lot of questions. From plausibility of time travel to one’s ability to potentially document an experience with time travel in the age of the smart phone. And why in fiction do time travelers always have to conceal themselves? Is it actually just a plot device to keep hope alive that time travel could be happening all around us already?

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your April WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

Would you believe us if we told you we were talking all about the sexy (yes!) origin story and history of TGI Fridays? If you’re not new here, this probably won’t surprise you… Where was a single gal to go once the birth control pill was on the market? Well… now you know…

This week on the podcast, we’re taking everyone’s favorite accidentally in love ogre and we’re doing so as we talk the accidental (?) horrors of the uncanny valley. We’re breaking down what it feels like to emphasize with different human-like depictions and what happens when those renderings get maybe a little *too* real. 

In preparation for the upcoming clock switch, on this month’s FUPDATE we’re taking all about Daylight Savings Time. She’s a real bitch for countless reasons, but we’re specifically talking some seasonal depression, circadian rhythm, and general biological mismatches. Why are we doing this anyway? Is there some kind of benefit at this point? We’ll tell you what the experts think…

This week on the podcast it’s not all about Mark Walberg’s daily routine, but we certainly spend some time there… We’re going into the freezer on this one as we discuss Cryopreservation. Would we do it? A lot of famous people have been rumored to be put on ice… but where does one draw the line? Are folks placing their faith in this overly optimistic? And would you even want to rejoin the world without your loved ones? We’ve got some thoughts…

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your March WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again— this is not a sex podcast, except when it is. And today it is! Austin once again gets on the microphone to defend her love of Gwyneth Paltrow as we discuss Goop’s most recent Netflix series, Sex, Love, and Goop. We’re specifically digging into the Erotic Blueprint presented by somatic sexologist and educator Jaiya in the series. And it’s a worthy endeavor because we shake up some of our own perspectives using what we have coined “Love Languages for Sex.”

Feast or famine? It’s Lenten season and folks are doing all of the above. On this month’s FUPDATE, we dissect fasting for spiritual reasons and the binging that sounds the fast this time of year. Performative or a totally great step to self improvement? We’ve got opinions…

We’re back with our first major episode of SZN 8! And how could we start with anything other than the tale of the original Gone Girl, Agatha Christie. Whether you’ve read her mystery novels or not, you’re going to be interested in her real life reaction to infidelity and the time she crashed a car and perhaps completely forgot who she is. FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK, BABY.

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your February WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what your January WHOROSCOPES have in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

Just when you thought you had seen the last Mary-Kate and Ashley, we’re here to remind you of one of their most important films. They shot a two hour commercial for the resort Atlantis… and we couldn’t help but not know much else about Atlantis other then the fact that a resort was named for it and the Olsens shot a movie there. So, what the hell is this lost civilization all about? Who came up with and where did they get the idea? And why are we as people obsessed with lost civilizations to begin with? So hold your nose, and we’re hitting the waterslide to the tunes of Weezer.

On this week’s FUPDATE, we’re looking back and looking forward. The holidays and the turning of the calendar year give a lot of us pause around this time. We discuss our own feelings about reflecting (or not) about a year’s passing as New Years Eve is upon us. We also dig into looking forward and our feelings about the good old New Years Resolution. So settle in as we draw things to a close.

This week on the pod, as you recover from Turkey and the what we hope has been a jubilant start to Hanukkah, we are digging into True Crime. A genre loved by many, hated by some, and guilty indulged in privately by others. When is consuming the worst moments of people’s lives okay? Is it ever? We’ll employ psychologists, fellow podcasters, and even Dateline’s very own as we try to get to the bottom of this complicated question. Serial started something in the podcast sphere, but people have been tuning into True Crime tales for literal centuries, so set that home security system as get down to it.

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what December has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

This week on the pod, we attempt (and do a bit!) host another episode about the *secret gay agenda.* Did you know there were some Buffalo Gals running wild during the 1840s? We’ll get into some of the queer culture surrounding the Gold Rush that you definitely didn’t learn in public school. But what started as a deep dive into queer culture turned into so, so much more.

One this week’s FUPDATE, we get into the nuances and psychology of sharing food with folks. Just in time for you to discuss political differences over a dry turkey…

This week on the podcast, we’re talking about IBS! Yes, actually… for part of the time… we’re also getting into the details on placebo trails, and this time it’s not a blind study. Folks are taking placebo pills knowingly and willingly… and are somehow seeing results? We’ll get into what patient care has to do with this and how the studies on placebo pills have Jaimi thinking that maybe she believes in crystals after all.

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what November has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst! And THIS WEEK ONLY, we are giving a very special SPOOKTOBER Halloweekend whoroscope.
