In this guest episode, Meghana and Phoebe are joined by Jumana, who chooses to talk about art, the art world, and anything else that pertains to it. Meghana is slightly out of their depth. Phoebe uses this as an excuse to talk about one of their favorite art pieces. Jumana is introduced to the technical difficulties of recording remotely. They all truly apologize for everything.

In this episode, Phoebe chooses to discuss something they have no right spending so much time thinking about: literary theory. Meghana talks about books they read during their time in compulsory education. Phoebe reads and paraphrases from Wikipedia pages. They both read from their own individual essay they wrote in high school, only to find out their interests are more similar than they thought.

In this episode, Meghana chooses to talk about k-pop, but as a geopolitical force and not as a genre. Phoebe derails the conversation by talking about Beyblade: Metal Saga as if they're still in sixth grade. Meghana disses astrology and wonders if it's Pluto or Mercury that can be in retrograde (it's both). They both say things they will 100% be attacked for, but please don't attack them unless they said something factually incorrect, in which case please link sources.
