Oh, uh, hey there, again!

Can you count how many times we say spook in this BONUS Halloween episode?! (Hint: It's more than we're proud to admit!) Jasmine and Dani read some spooky stories they've written and two by guest writers!

Jasmine's stories include "The Farmhouse on the Lake" and "The Stone-faced Man". Dani's stories are so eloquently titled "Spooky Story 2" (aka "Dishes"), "Spooky Story 3" (aka "Trumpet"), and Spooky Story 1 (aka "Nothing"). Our guest stories include "Untitled" by Jasmine's brother, James about a boy's encounter with Yetis, and "Ring & Run" by Jasmine's friend, Simon.

We hope you enjoyed our spooky BONUS episode! Thank you for listening!

We play a game where Jasmine explains some conspiracy theories and Dani guesses which she thinks Jasmine believes.

The theories included are the CIA using “The Catcher in the Rye” as a trigger for assassins, cannibals living in US national parks, our current Forests being miniature versions of ancient silicon Forests, the streetlight interference phenomenon (SLI), the hippie movement being created to discredit the anti-war movement, and operation majestic 12.

It’s a self-care episode! We discuss our self-care habits and much, much more!

It’s a video idea episode! We discuss some random (bad) video ideas and laugh about them.

Jasmine wants to make a ball gown for the first time, make travel vlogs for undesired destinations, get her friends together to make a giant archery painting, make a LEGO house to sleep in, and join a rock band for a night. Dani has one legitimate video idea and one shitty video idea. We even bring it all back to a previous episode!

Other topics include Jasmine's hatred of ASMR, music videos, and Slender Man. Also, we learn that Dani loves all of Jasmine's bad video ideas.

We hope you enjoyed our horrible (hilarious) video ideas! Thank you for listening!

It’s a solo trip episode! We share our experiences with traveling solo, and of course what we learned along the way (*awwww*).

Jasmine tells us about her solo trip to Europe, her experience with staying in hostels, and her take-aways from the trip. Dani tells us about her little taste of a solo trip, what the story of her life is, and what trips she's looking forward to. We discuss van life and our top places to-visit.

Other topics include making friends with older couples, the geographical cure, searching for weed in Denver, and Berlin bike tours. As a side note, it is very unlikely that we will bring up the kegels again.

We hope you enjoyed listening to our travel experiences enough to want to listen to us talk at you more in more episodes! Thank you for listening to this one!

Other topics include the clique/banditos, Dema, mental health/illness, Trench, Clancy, insecurity, Nicolas Bourbaki, and Blurryface. Don't miss out on listening to Jasmine wave her arms!

It’s a Reddit game episode! Jasmine looked up some r/unpopularopinion on Reddit and the two created a game out of it.

Jasmine reads these unpopular opinions and Dani decides which position Jasmine will defend. At the end of each defense, Dani guesses which way Jasmine actually leans on the opinion. We learn that Dani cannot suspend disbelief and eats the core of apples; while Jasmine loooooves capes, but is not a fan of the butt pieces of bread.

Unpopular opinions include capes as the fashion statement of 2021, butt pieces of bread being superior, Funko Pops are the worst, which shower temperature is best, and how kids should be the janitors of their own schools.

We hope you enjoyed this little game and that some of these opinions enraged you just as much as they enraged us. Thank you for listening!
