Minor content warning for discussions of sexual assault. It's nothing to serious but please stay safe!
In this one, hosts SJ and Gab have a rather impromptu discussion about content creators, parasocial relationships, and Internet harrassment. All before the rather wacky episode recording that is the one after this. Trust us, we didn't know why we started talking about this either.

Attention Brimstone Valley Mall shoppers! Be on the lookout for hilarious discussions about sex and MASSIVE spoilers for the brilliant, the effervescent, fantastically-written audio drama Brimstone Valley Mall.
In this, Gab and SJ make several attempts at staying on track, have a rousing and in-depth discussion about totally-not-demonic goth band Mall Rat, dodge several swings from emotional metal bats, and muddle through the Philippine monsoon season making a cameo mid-recording!

Mild spoilers for every Bill & Ted thing that exists ever. You'd be surprised just how much there is. Not as surprised at the length with which Gab and SJ talk about it though. Believe it or not, there's a lot more where this came from. This version of their session includes: getting deep about two dudes, himbo appreciation, excessive amounts of brain rot, and A LOT of ideas for a Bill & Ted web show (e-mail us, don't be shy).

Content warnings for discussions of cannibalism and child endangerment. Spoiler warnings all Little Nightmares games. You won't believe just how many there actually are, because SJ managed to top Gab's lengthy enthusiasm for Mamma Mia! in this one. Presenting: "oh, that's not good," the amount of horror games SJ is into, and time travel.

In this one, Gab does the impossible: she proves that she can actually talk about Mamma Mia! for more than thirty minutes. She and SJ then spend the next thirty more minutes talking about Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Presenting: SJ not knowing anything about white America, endless shrieking, and wanting Pierce Brosnan's character dead in the third movie.
