Ep 122: Thong Bikini Bottoms and Other Summer Gripes with Sarah Beara Stiver

from French Kissing Life · host Shawnna Stiver

Memorial Day has come and gone, which officially means summer has entered the group chat. And today, my niece Sarah is back on the mic, which means things get unhinged very quickly.We go through our highs and lows for the season, from sweet corn and pool days and the smell of a good thunderstorm to chiggers, birds at 5 AM, and the absolute audacity of assless bikini bottoms at the public pool. We also play a little game where Sarah challenges me to decipher Gen Z slang in real time, and it does not go well for me. Apparently, "unspoken rizz" and "let him cook" are phrases people say now, and I'm still emotionally attached to BRB.This one feels like a summer night with family, where everyone talks over each other and laughs too hard about things that truly don't matter. Which, honestly, might be one of the best parts of the season.Topics Covered:Sweet corn, backyard barbecues, and the food that only feels right in summerWhy pool swimming is a high, and lake swimming is a hard noThe case against thong bikini bottoms in public spaces (we rest our case)Chiggers, mosquitoes, and a doctor visit that did not helpThunderstorms, air conditioning, and the great lawn mowing debateSarah's Gen Z slang quiz and Shauna's complete failure to pass itWhy "unspoken rizz" is now part of our vocabulary, whether we like it or not ______________________Contact French Kissing Life PodcastDM us at @shawnnarstiver on Instagram or FacebookConnect with Shawnna Stiver on LinkedInEmail us at [email protected] Until next time, muah! ______________________French Kissing Life is sponsored by Ampersand Copy and Content.
