  • Ep. 21 - Cut That Out
    Apr 2 2024

    This week, Mere & Nikki realize they’re actually done a lot of character development for one season and discuss being patrons of the children’s arts, social synchronicities, pitching a farm to Tig Notaro, immediately walking back big, bold childhood confessions, asking questions that make you sound suspicious as hell, the mob finally, breaking arbitrary rules, and the way no one was using “it’s a free country” responsibly on the playground. Plus, how to tell someone they have stuff on their face and how to announce your podcast is going on hiatus.

  • Ep. 20 - Bonked With Braces
    Mar 26 2024

    This week, Mere & Nikki mull over the injustices of bowling, the shelf-life of millennial tattoos, paradoxical closeness with a massage therapist, and blurting out your crush right to their face or in a delusional love letter marked return-to-sender. Plus, horny Bowflex commercials, 90's heartthrob privilege, and a new exit strategy for the next time you overshare.

  • Ep. 19 - Polite Lies with Kiko Soirée
    Mar 19 2024

    This week, Mere & Nikki are joined by drag performer KIKO SOIRÉE to discuss the endless delusion of forming a crush, trauma-bonding at Church Camp, and tween (suburban) street photography. Plus, cold brew-induced spiritual ascension, beans for some reason, peeping at other drivers, how to offer a drink to guests, and the smooth recovery from forgetting if you've already met someone.
