The Midday Buzz

Where does your tip really go? Do tampons or children belong in bars? Did one of us need to go #2 in the Vermont woods? We answer all of this and more on today’s episode. 

Do you ever feel like a pizza box, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? We’re bringing y’all to the Big Apple, plus a bit on Taylor Swift’s major NFL impact.

In case you haven’t figured it out, we watch a lot of TV. A bit about what’s on Serene’s rotation, plus our interactions with a TikToker and comedian.

We’ll be the digestif to your day. Reflections on celebrating Serene’s 25th birthday in San Diego & a bit about how astronauts handle their business in space.

Sometimes ya need an AI bot to steal all of your photos to finally feel famous. Plus, a bit on sports, jazz, waxes, and delayed fun. 

Our sh*ttiest episode yet (hear us out). This short and sweet convo covers birthday gifts for 25+, how corporations start Fall in Summer, and much more. 

If you’re using the term “girl dinner”, you’re part of the problem. A bit on food in hospital basements, how Instagram reels are truly just highlight reels, and the good, bad & ugly of self-driving cars. 

A bit on Outside Lands & Taylor Swift, plus a reflection on ways to create genuine friendships as an adult and once you’re out of school.

In Part 2 with SPECIAL GUEST Madison, we chat about Taylor Swift starting a (great) war, uncover the science-backed truth about blue balls, fantasize about our anti-capitalistic lives, and MUCH more.

SPECIAL GUEST Madison McKinnon joined us for this one, so we talked movies. Like, a lot of movies. Plus a bit about child geniuses, sports, celebrities oversharing, public bidets, and a lot more.

This one’s a little judgy. Between bingeing EMMY-NOMINATED Jury Duty, wrongfully judging people in public, and comments about Nikola Jokić at the NBA Finals, we need a cleanse from all this judgment. Plus, some birthday fails, fights at restaurants we can’t go back to, and our Kyle Lowry appreciation.

If you’re a zillenial or younger, can you consume dairy? Asking for a friend. We discuss how we’d improve our event-going experiences, reality TV’s obsession with marriage, and how David Archuleta’s American Idol loss scarred us as kids. 

2 Girls 1 Pee Cup. It’s not every day that you’re a middle schooler forced to get tested for scoliosis. We chat about some low-key childhood traumas, celebrities acting up, how to take a wholesome awe walk, and signs that it’s probably time to break up with your therapist. 

In n Out is the GOAT fast food chain. Change our minds. Our Coachella comments did not age well (thanks, Frank Ocean). We talk food (what’s new), a new franchise idea for Bravo, what it means to “Be Real”, and some pet peeves. In this week's poll and Q&A, we want to know what makes you irrationally angry and if In n Out should hop on the food delivery train.

This one’s full of hot takes, scandals, and fun facts. Mariah and Serena discuss THE meatballs that even vegetarians love, a Subway scandal (not the one you’re thinking of), a surprising celebrity couple, and of course, a healthy dose of reflection on societal expectations. Plus a whole lot more.

If Mariah were a podcast episode, she’d be this one: a shortie but a goodie. We cover our humble true crime beginnings, what it means to truly stan something, the fear of booty sweat, and a whole lot more. 

Let's talk festivals. And no, not Coachella. In this week's episode, we cover TV that defined our childhoods, haircut disasters, a dive into racial ambiguity, and a whole lot more. Spotify listeners: participate in this week's poll and see the results next week on Instagram.

Here’s the secret to getting free drinks at the bar: be a baby. A literal baby. We discuss that, a canceled flight home, SZA’s SOS album, and a whole lot more in this week’s episode.
