  • Sarah is 35 so F*ck off and die celebrates by inviting DJ Shannon Fox to eat cake and talk about dying alone. Just kidding. In this special episode, Jade, Sarah and Shannon discuss the best things about being single, including how good it is not to date people who police what you put in your mouth.

     

    Shannon shares her expertise on glitter, dressing like a three-year-old for eternal youth and how her duty in life is to remind people about Angela’s Ashes. Jade constantly mentions how young she is, even though she is the oldest person in the room. Sarah complains about the term ‘single’, and everyone agrees on a new and far better term. Much cake is eaten.

     

    This pod was recorded with 2 mics and 3 people, so the sound is all over the place.

    The Man in the Arena

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”

  • Sarah and Jade discuss the horror of being 21 in an Instagram world where everyone has the same face, then marvel at the emotional maturity of The Baby Sitters Club. Sarah talks about the power of deleting your ex from all of your shared accounts, as well as their mother.

    Quotes

    “I embrace the label of bad feminist because I am human. I am messy. I’m not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I’m right. I am just trying—trying to support what I believe in, trying to do some good in this world, trying to make some noise with my writing while also being myself.”


    ― Bad Feminist Roxanne Gay


    Watch Fleabag for more mentions of bad feminists.


    “Woo child, tired of the bullshit

    Go on dust your shoulders off, keep it moving

    I know that it's hard but you have to try

    If you need advice, let me simplify

    If he don't love you anymore

    Just walk your fine ass out the door.”

  • In this episode Sarah and Jade discuss an upcoming butt party they are excited to be attending. Sarah talks about why your brain is wired to crave your ex like a crack head post break up. And offers a useful tip to help redirect those intense feelings.


    Jade answers a listener question about why exes like to get back in touch with you. It turns out to be a lot less sinister than everyone suspects. Yep exes are human beings like the rest of us (unless they’re a sociopath). At the end, the pair share quotes because other people always say it better.


    Show Notes

    Raccoons and your butt

    The human rectum can stretch up to 9 inches without tearing. A raccoon can fit through holes that are 6 inches or wider. So technically a raccoon could fit up your arse. This dubious 'fact' was found on Reddit.


    Why you have cravings for your ex

    When participants in a study viewed photos of their exes, brain scans indicated activity in regions of the brain associated with the reward or motivation system, which communicates through the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine.


    Dopamine is involved in both drug addiction and the early, obsessive stages of love. This is why people who have been rejected may feel cravings for their ex, similar to how addicts crave a drug or people who are newly in love crave their loved one’s presence.


    Read the full study titled Reward, Addiction, and Emotion Regulation Systems Associated With Rejection in Love by Helen E. Fisher and Lucy L. Brown here.


    Listener Question

    If you can, try not to search for your ex on social media.

    Here is some help with this seemingly impossible task.


    Quotes

    “It’s a lot easier to be miserable than uncertain”

    Abbey Gib TEDx


    “Whenever you’re having a really bad day, just remember that some poor bastard is meeting your cunt of an ex and thinking that they’ve found someone really special.”
