Let’s face it, there’s things that millennials let their parents still do for them that their grandparents never did this long. But, is it actually beneficial to the parents of millennials?? Also, things that are normal in one city but not in another, watching an episode of a show without your significant other, and more! 

We talked about a couple who required credit card information on their RSVP, a set of rubber lips that can be used to kiss remotely, lying about someone dying to get people to be quiet so you can sleep, and more! 

Does the latest trend for bachelorette parties sound awesome or boring? Also, everyone loves to give a gift that is actually horrible, there’s two official starts to Spring, and future cars might be adorable. 

This week, we tried to uncover the story behind a mysterious pair of high heels found in an ashtray at Petco. Also, there’s overwhelming evidence that companies should switch to a four day work week after a major study in Britain involving 61 companies. And, Debbins felt out of his element shopping for wedding rings.

Is having a shot of vodka to loosen up before a zoom interview a terrible idea? Maybe. But if it helps, maybe not? With more job interviews being done over zoom than ever, the whole process has changed. Is it for the better? Also, we talk about the absurdity of Chuck E. Cheese and other staples of our childhoods. 

This is why you should never throw anything away. Apparently flip phones are having a resurgence with Gen Z-ers looking to disconnect. Also, if you could choose one chore to never do again, what would it be? And should we get rid of Valentine’s Day? 

We just got a dog! Which has been amazing, but also holy cow it's exhausting. Also in this episode, the keys to making a group trip successful so you avoid disaster. 

Is it bad that Debbins avoids people he knows when he sees them at the grocery store? Also in this episode, saying hi to someone and having them ignore you, Taylor Swift’s cat has more money than you do, and do you agree with the trend of not giving companies a two week notice?

Find out what people 100 years ago thought 2023 would look like as well as our predictions for 100 years from now. Also this week, a dating app in which it’s impossible to ghost someone, stress around wedding dresses, and how they should make a movie about Buffalo if they win the Superbowl. 

Debbins and Ariel talk about their experience being snowed in with family for three days during the blizzard in Buffalo this Christmas. Also, Ariel goes on a rant about New Year’s resolutions, an engagement ring is found after being lost in an unfortunate place, and a major US city that isn’t New York was also called “New York” at one point. 

Celebrating two holidays at once is twice the fun but twice the work too. Also, with the rise of anti-Semitism across the world and in the United States this year, we talk about the importance of celebrating the Jewish holidays and showing pride in being Jewish. 

Once people reach a certain age, it seems all they want to do is purge their houses of clutter. Often, it’s their kids who end up with this clutter, even if they don’t want it. Debbins and Ariel share the bizarre things their moms have tried to give them recently. Also on the show, is it creepy or cute to write a song about someone you haven’t even met yet? This is actually how one celebrity couple got together.  

Imagine thinking a classic board game was played a certain way only to find out as an adult that your parents had completely changed the rules. Also in this episode, how common is it for people to place their favorite recipes on their gravestone? More common than we thought. And in Europe, people will be able to make phone calls on planes. Is this actually a bad thing? 

Whether it’s a VHS tape of NSYNC music videos or a present you were supposed to be given a LONG time ago, the things you find at your parents’ house can be an unexpected source of entertainment. Also on this week’s episode, leaving your Christmas tree up until April, humans hibernating all winter, and Ariel apologizes for a joke she made last week…

Bowling pins, blenders, magic 8 balls - the guidelines for what you can and can’t bring on a plane can be both surprising and hilarious. Also, the number one thing to avoid doing on a first date, weed infused gravy is available for Thanksgiving, and we test the internet to see if there’s a scented candle for every smell imaginable. 

There's nothing weirder than being forced to think about your conception because you are literally named after it, which unfortunately happens more than you'd think.

Also on the show, employers giving workers the day off to play outside when it’s nice out, being annoyed when kids don’t say “trick or treat”, walking by your fiancée's zoom call half naked, and what to do when the smell of fish lingers in your house after cooking.

There's a phenomenon where people like sitting, working, and even sleeping on the floor and find it "cozy". Debbins' fiancé, Ariel, happens to be one of these people and is ready to explain it to non-floor people.

Also, does every neighborhood have that one person that gives out healthy food instead of candy or something that's not even candy, like school supplies? And, Debbins explains why he's become the sort of person that leaves reviews online. That and more on this week's episode!
