This week, we spiral (beautifully) from mascara mishaps to full-blown existential dread about corporate life, capitalism, and the myth of work-life balance (thanks a lot, Henry Ford). But it’s not all doom and gloom! If you’re questioning your life choices but still down to laugh through the breakdown… this one’s for you.

Timestamps:

00:00 - Intro Celebrating the growth of the show and reacting to being called “hilarious.” Actually funny or just delusional?

01:00 - Sleep Debt and Stress Aging hits different in your late 20s. From grad school to adult life.

3:36 - The Life Balance Myth Dive into how little time we actually have for ourselves after accounting for work and sleep. Sharing vulnerable, honest thoughts on corporate jobs, societal expectations, and feeling detached from purpose.

19:08 - Weekend Recap Texas Live, baseball traditions, and realizing the cheerleaders now look like teenagers. Another “I feel old” moment.

23:11 - Mexico Recap: Naked, Drunk, and In Love A chaotic, hilarious, and somehow romantic vacation story: piña coladas and falling asleep on the bathroom floor.

30:14 - Looking Ahead: PhD vs. Physical Pain One of us just finished the first quarter of a PhD—a true boss b*tch! The other has something… less fun. Real talk about an embedded IUD.

In this episode, we start by unpacking what “adult dating” really looks like when you’re almost 30. Seven weeks of dating and already booking a flight to Mexico? Yeah… what could possibly go wrong?

But that’s not all—we dive into why peeing after sex is so important, and the unfiltered truth about butt stuff (a.k.a. the quest for the factory reset). Sprinkle in childhood cringe memories, veils in relationships, and why the government wants drugs to be illegal, and you’ve got a full send of laughs, honesty, and talking about the taboo.
