taste feels like one of those things people claim to have, but few think about deeply. in this episode, we break down what taste actually is - where it comes from, how it evolves, and whether it’s something you’re born with or build through curiosity, exposure, or maybe just copying people you think are cool. we get into the difference between having a real point of view and just collecting pinterest aesthetics, why some people seem effortlessly cool, and how you can always spot when someone’s taste doesn't feel like their own.

is ai making you incompetent?
whether it’s going to Chat for therapy sessions or using it to write a paragraph, AI has quietly, yet undeniably, seeped itself into our lives. in this episode, we go into the implications of AI, like the environmental harm it causes, and the class realities that make opting out a privilege. we talk about the pressure to use AI to keep up and the moral guilt that comes with it, but also how intentional AI use could give marginalized people access to the tools, guidance, and knowledge they never had. if both choices carry harm, is there an ethical way to participate or abstain?

why am i always tired?
it seems no matter how many cold brews we drink, how healthy we eat, or how much we sleep, we are always tired. is this our body simply keeping the score? are we subconsciously emotionally drained? or maybe we like to indulge in this feeling because it’s comfortable and familiar. so, instead of trying to film this episode when we had more energy, we decided to give into it and let you see us at a vulnerable state… aka when we’re tired. we become delirious, mute, and gay…?

why is eating healthy considered over restrictive?
if your friend brought a greek yogurt bowl to the movies, would you think they're smart or depriving themselves? this episode was inspired by a viral tiktok of a couple doing just that and the internet went crazy. in this episode we talk about diet trends, the line between self care and over restriction, and body image. now, it seems like food is a statement everyone is reading into.

does moving solve all your problems?
it's been a few weeks since we settled into new york and we're here to answer the big question everyone asks... does moving solve all your problems? and the short answer is: it solves some and creates others. so we reflect on how the move has felt so far, the problems it’s helped us leave behind, and the new challenges we’ve been facing.
