*WARNING: Loud noises (uncontrollable laughter and giggles) are featured throughout, please refer to chapter titles and listen with caution.*Ever wondered what'd be like to travel through time and find yourself slip 7 years into the past? Let alone, find yourself confronted by a handsome stranger in your own home? In this episode, Adrienne and Annamarie welcome friend of the pod and special guest, Anastassia, to discuss "The Seven Year Slip" by Ashley Poston, in their loudest and quite frankly, most unhinged episode yet! Together they talk food, debate man-buns, explore the themes of grief, romance, self-discovery/reflection and who could forget? -- the infamous pigeons, Mother and F*cker! Through laughter and sometimes poorly executed accents, they're able to share and bond through the magic Poston has nostalgically woven into this refreshing, cozy and colorful romantic comedy.Listen, rate, comment, share, and answer our poll below!!Chapters:00:00 Intro02:26 Elevator Pitch (Non Spoiler)08:08 The Role of Food11:53 Nicknames and Accents15:17 Clementine and Iwan22:06 Chef's Kiss: Iwan and James31:00 The Com in Rom Com and NY as a Character32:34 Mother, Fcker, and Helga36:44 Man Buns and Redheads (Warning: Loud Noises)41:51 The Spice, The Flirt, The Yearn47:17 The Rom Com Genre50:26 Grief, Hyper-Independence, Analea59:53 Our Leading Lady01:09:42 Adrienne, Annamarie, Anastassia, and Ashley01:12:35 The Friends01:19:10 The Rom in Rom Com (Deluxe)01:25:38 Hot Tattoos and Zodiacs01:32:25 Food, Culture, and Sentimentality01:40:25 Going Back Seven Years (Warning: Loud Noises)01:51:17 Ratings and Final Thoughts01:56:21 Swift Corner (Warning: Loud Noises)02:19:59 Side Quests (Warning: Loud Noises)02:31:09 Outro
