    Sephora Makeovers w/ Alex Petrachuk

    Letting a salesperson put blue mascara on you that god knows how many teens have touched? High risk, looow reward. This week on the pod the delightful Alex P drops by to talk about her very well earned fear of going into Sephora and accidentally coming out with a full face of pink makeup! Also in this episode: slamming down on the toilet first thing in the morning. What kind of ghost would you be? An invitation to play. Sharing a wet wipe with a new friend. The eroticism of the optometrist. Clean brush, dirty, dirty tube. Also, maybe the audio is a bit weird in this one. Maybe it'll be a bit weird in the next two episodes as well. It'll be normal again soon. We're just two little guys who are doing their best. Love ya.

    Loving Sports w/ Willow Cioppa

    Buckle up cuties, we're a Sports Podcast now!
