Episodes

  1. Saltmates Ep 15: Hot Dogs, Sandwiches, and Tacos

    Alright, this one got rowdy. How do you define a hot dog? Is it a sandwich? A taco? It's own thing? Chris takes a stand and it breaks Lauren's brain. Theme song: "Blackout" by The Living Statues Art by: Ellen Czinski

  2. Saltmates Ep 14: Is Gator Seafood?

    A question that has plagued Catholics of the Gulf Coast for as long as only seafood was allowed on Fridays during Lent: Is Gator seafood? Lauren and Chris have strong opinions, and Lauren calls Chris an idiot, a lot. Theme song: "Blackout" by The Living Statues Art by: Ellen Czinski

  3. Saltmates Ep 13: To Boy Band or Not To Boy Band

    It's a question as old as at least a few weeks ago. What constitutes a boy band? Are The Beatles technically the same genre as Backstreet Boys? Lauren and Chris throw down, as usual. Theme song: "Blackout" by The Living Statues Art by: Ellen Czinski

  4. Saltmates Ep 12: The Peanut Butter Problem

    We're baaaaaaaaack! Again! Alright, we swear we are going to be more consistent with Saltmates going forward. In this episode we debate what is the truest form of peanut butter. Is it the smooth texture of the Creamy variety? Or is it the textured form that comes from those Crunchy vibes. Things...

  5. Saltmates Ep 11: The Wonka Vision Quandary

    We're back with a new format and new ways to potentially ruin our relationship. This episode, we get in deep on Wonka Vision!

  6. An Announcement!

    A quick announcement from Lauren and Chris. Theme song: "Blackout" by The Living Statues Art by: Ellen Czinsk

  7. Saltmates Ep 10: We'll Always Have Vine

    We're a couple of sick babies over here, so cure your colds with Saltmates now on Wednesdays! Sniffle your way through a brief history of Hot Pot, lateral thinking puzzle podcasts, nihilism and a distrust of the banks that makes Lauren want to stuff money in her mattress. Theme song: "Blackout"…

  8. Saltmates Ep 9: The Great Paper Towel Mystery

    This sounds like a joke, but it's only half one. Where should we go on vacation? Southwest is having a big sale and I (Lauren) don't want to miss it! I guess Chris would be upset if I didn't mention that we talked about a beautiful impression of Terk from Tarzan, ancient Egyptian socks, my…

  9. Saltmates Ep 8: Probst For President

    Come on in, guys! We're back after a hectic week in which we totally meant to record an episode and then Friday turned into Monday and y'all know how that goes, right? Please? Forgive us! In our absence, we had a doozy of a week including: a sad, dumb boy who doesn't like museums, several…

  10. Saltmates Ep 7: Too Many Pokemon

    It's a new episode, folks, so don't be a Dennis and miss out on all the fun! (You'll get that reference when you listen to it, promise).

  11. Saltmates Ep 6: Contagious Diseases and Lightning

    We've launched and it feels so good! Lauren and Chris celebrate by bickering over 90s teen girl pop, woke Greek myths, ASMaRtists, emergency ice cream, and pitching a new Planet of the Apes idea that you totally can't steal from us. Links to the article and youtube channel Lauren mentions in her...

  12. Saltmates Ep 5: Road Trip - WTF Is Going On At Abbot Kinney?

    Beep beep! Chris and Lauren hit the road in this extra special episode. Hear them in their natural habitat while they spar over: directions obvi, Lauren's anti-prep past, frozen pizza (does it count as pizza?), Rob Thomas's illustrious career, the immediacy of left turns, and more! Theme song:...

  13. Saltmates Ep 4: Wine, Cheese, & Seance Night

    It's a Tuesday night special, y'all! Turns out, that makes the energy REAL funky! Don't worry, Lauren and Chris are powering through and giving you all the hot goss on bagel pronunciation, Chris' photography boner, our freezer full of film, playing fight chicken, drinks vs. dates, and A HAUNTING....

  14. Saltmates Ep 3: Mr. Brightside, But In A Bathroom

    What's up, melty bois? Lauren and Chris are back at it again and covered in BBQ sauce and sweat to tackle Chris' entre into comedy, a heartfelt Go Fund Me, faking not being alone, and our worst critics. It's Lauren. She's very critical. Also we pause multiple times to fight off mic, because…
