Welcome back, besties! In this week’s episode, Travis and Emma dive headfirst into the chaos of adulthood, pregnancy updates, first jobs, and the baffling scam that is American healthcare.

We ask the big questions:

• Why does health insurance feel like a trap?
• When did we realize adulthood was a scam?
• Do babies think… and what is thinking anyway?
• Why is the Titanic still in the news?
• And are old wives’ tales just misogyny in disguise?

Emma updates us on week 11 of her pregnancy (yes, Travis did invite a pregnant woman to join a dodgeball league) and we find out the truly cursed way Travis found out she was expecting. We reminisce about our first jobs (Hollister perfume clouds and pizza shop gang members included), talk about what makes us feel unhinged, and try to make sense of weird pregnancy myths. Plus: ✨ spatial awareness rants, ✨ compulsive cuticle clipping, ✨ the trauma of listening to people eat, ✨ and a romantic cruise ship Celine Dion moment Travis will never forget.✨

We wrap it up with things we don’t understand (brains!) and some very important public pleas:

• If you’re a brain surgeon, please email us.
• If you know why babies remember the womb, PLEASE email us.
• And if you just don’t understand something either — we want to hear it!
