Episode Transcript

(00:00):
So someone commented on our YouTube video about vocal fry.
That sent me on an incredible rabbit hole of a journey where I
learned about vocal fry and I was really obsessing over it.
And then it turns out that people who have issues with
vocal fry are generally people who are sexist against women.

(00:20):
Do only women have vocal fry? It's like the people who have
issues with vocal fry have issues with vocal fry in young
women. So to that person, I just have
to say. First question, are you sexist?
Second question, sounds like we're burping.

(00:45):
Hello fellow yappers, I'm Ruchi.And I'm Shalini and we're your
hosts. A binge, yap, repeat.
We're two best friends who spendan embarrassing amount of time
binge watching TV, and honestly,we just need to talk about it.
If you're here, we're guessing you do too.
Fair warning, this is a spoiler friendly zone.
We will be discussing lots of spoilers, so if you haven't

(01:09):
watched the show yet, hit pause,go binge, and come back when
you're ready to yap with us. And now it's yap time.

(01:31):
Don't we have oopsie doopsies? Do we want to say hi to our
listeners first? Hello yappers.
Welcome to your extremely serious podcast, SiriusXM God.

(01:54):
SiriusXM XOXO Gossip Girl. We're probably.
The only ones that find this funny.
I love your new hairstyle. Thank you, I was just in Seattle
and I am super loyal to my hairdresser there.
Her name is Jewel Rogers. Anyone who lives in Seattle or
near Seattle you must go to her.She's at the salon called The

(02:15):
Style Chalet and she's amazing. She's the only one I trust with
my hair. Yeah, it looks really pretty.
You look like. Oh.
Thank. You.
She was my inspiration, actually.
No, she wasn't. No, I can't cry as pretty as
Jen. Well, yeah.
Do we have any oopsie doopsies? I have a minor oopsie doopsie

(02:37):
from a few episodes ago when I was talking about the Survivor
finale. This is something that my sister
pointed out to us is that Camilla, who I said was South
Asian, is actually Guyanese. So that is 1 oopsie doopsie.
Also, I'm pretty sure she's coming back for Survivor 50 or
something. Yeah, along with Mike White and

(03:00):
a few others who have been on Survivor before.
Yeah. Mike White on Survivor was
actually such a treat to watch. I really enjoyed.
Yeah, I like that. I that's actually the only
season of Survivor I've watched in full, the David V Goliath
season. Because I think that was one of
the few seasons on Netflix, right?

(03:22):
Who maybe. I actually don't remember what
platform I watched it on, but yeah, maybe.
I definitely. Watch it on Netflix cuz yeah I
was like, I wanna watch Survivorbut I don't wanna pay any more
money to any other platforms. And then that's fair.
Other oopsie doopsie also from Survivor or no?
Actually this is from The Amazing Race, that Asian sibling

(03:46):
pair that we were talking about,we were like, oh they have no
shtick, but sorry, what was their shtick?
I'm actually forgetting, Was it that they didn't spend very much
time together until now or something?
Yeah, and their younger brother had gone to the military.
I don't know. I'm just going to bring up the
chat. Their claim to fame is that they
are siblings who haven't spent much time together and haven't

(04:07):
ever worked together because theyounger brother went to military
school. All right.
Oh SO also confirmed that they're not twins, which I can't
remember if we asked but I thought they were twins but OK.
Yeah. So I think we were we were
talking about two different Asian siblings.
So the one that I was. Talking.
About was on season 34, I think the Munich season where there

(04:31):
are these two women and and theywere identical twins.
And then I think you were talking about the most recent
season where there are two Asiansiblings.
Yes. Yep.
OK, got it clear that sorted that.
Out. Then I also have an update on
the Vanderpump stuff from Ariel.Ariel said the Vanderpump

(04:53):
universe is large but TLDR is Lisa Vanderpump started as a
housewife on Beverly Hills. Then she left the show and began
a spin off show called Vanderpump Rules, which followed
a bunch of waiters, waitresses, bartenders at her LA restaurant
Pump. That show is literally God tier
reality TV because these people were unhinged.
But I wouldn't recommend bingingbecause it is 20 seasons.

(05:15):
And then yeah. And then if you know this
Scandal stuff with Ariana Maddoxand Tom Sandoval, Sandoval.
That was the last two seasons ofthe show and it ended last year.
Anyway, the replacement for it is The Valley, which stars
people from Vanderpump Rules andVanderpump Villa, which is the
show that Marciano was on and then TomTom, the show that the

(05:39):
Secret Lives wives. They were talking about that
restaurant TomTom where Demi andor maybe it was Jesse.
Was kissing Marcella. Yeah, Jesse.
Yeah, so that restaurant is started by Tom Sandoval and Tom
Schwartz, which is why it was named TomTom, because there are
many characters on Vanderpump Rules.

(06:00):
Got it. All right.
Should we talk about forever? Yeah, let's do it.
Today we're going to talk about forever, which is a Netflix
series that first premiered on May 8th, 2025.
The premise of the show is reunited as teens.
Keisha and Justin are two childhood friends who fall

(06:21):
deeply in love, experiencing thejoy and heartache of a first
romance and It's American romantic teen drama television
series created by Mara Brock Akhil and it stars Lovey Simone
as Keisha Clark and Michael Cooper Junior as Justin Edwards.
Lovey Simone, Not to be confusedwith the hit movie Love Simon,

(06:44):
which I kept thinking about whenever I saw her name.
That is true lovey Simone is notLove Simon.
And it's loosely adapted from the Judy Blume book of the same
name forever. And it's already been renewed
for a second season. I think I am confusing Judy
Blume with Judy B Jones. Johnny B Jones.

(07:07):
Wait, who is? Wait?
That sounds so familiar. Do you ever read those books?
It's like, it's like a book series.
Judy B Jones. I think I am also mixing Judy
Blume with Judy B Jones. Now what did Judy Blume?
Write I honestly, I know the name Judy Blume, but I really

(07:31):
don't recognize any of these books.
And I feel like whenever anyone talked to me about Judy Blume, I
would be like probably the author of Junie B Jones.
And I think I just continued with that terrible assumption
for like a decade maybe, maybe even more.
Oh, no. OK, I I don't know if I've read

(07:52):
any Judy Blume books. Then let me see I.
Think I have. Either All right, so listeners,
some of her children's books arethe one in the middle is the
Green Kangaroo, Iggy's house tales of a fourth grade nothing
which does sound familiar. So maybe I've read that or at
least heard of it. Also, all of these books were
written in the 70s, otherwise known as Sheila the Great, The

(08:17):
Pain and the Great One, Freckle Juice, Super Fudge, Fudge, A
Mania, Double Fudge, Fungology, The Study of Fudge, and I'm just
kidding. 1st grade SpongeBob, but there is a Fudge series.
OK Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing was the first in the

(08:39):
Fudge series and then otherwise known as Sheila the Great.
Super Fudge, Fudge, Immediate, Double Fudge were all books in
the Fudge series, not Fudgeology.
That is not Canon. Word, word, All right.
And then she has a bunch of young adult books.
So she has kids books, young adult books, adult books and
some non fiction books. Her young adult books are are

(09:02):
you their God? It's me, Margaret.
Then again, maybe I won't. It's not the end of the world.
Deanie Blubber Forever, which was written in 1975.
Tiger Eyes. Just as long as we're together.
Here's to you, Rachel Robinson. Places I never meant to be.
Yeah, I don't think I've read any of these.

(09:25):
Me either, but it looks like forever.
Yeah, So Forever is one of her young adult books, and it's
about teenage sexuality. The show did hit on that.
I'm reading the plot right now, Oh my.
How different is it? Very much about sex.

(09:46):
Oh wow this one is like barely about sex I feel like.
Oh, interesting. OK, yes.
So I see now why they say that it's loosely based.
OK. All right.
What is Forever the book about? So it seems to be this is just
based off the Wikipedia Plot Summary, but it seems to be more
about like yes, teenage sexuality, but also way more

(10:11):
about teenage sexuality than than like what was shown in
Forever. So there are still like 2 main
characters, Catherine and Michael.
They are students at nearby schools.
They have, they have a relationship, but there doesn't

(10:32):
seem to be any, at least this isalso from the Wikipedia.
So there doesn't seem to be any,like, further tension, like,
there wasn't forever, for example.
And there was more. There's more about, like,
Catherine and Michael about their relationship progressing
and getting more intimate. And then they do go on family
vacations and in different states.

(10:54):
But Catherine becomes attracted to this older tennis instructor.
And then Michael, like, sees them holding hands or something.
And then Michael's like, oh, so this like, we're not in a
relationship anymore. Like, confused.

(11:14):
So apparently the book, spoiler alert, the book ends with a
final meeting between Michael and Catherine.
And then Catherine is basically saying this was a great
relationship but not ready for forever.
Yeah. So I think kind of similar to
the ending of Forever where it felt like, but it felt more

(11:38):
mutual. I think with the TV series, it
felt more mutual. Like they both like obviously
loved each other, but neither ofthem were ready for forever
because that seemed like a big thing.
So I think they actually made a very mature decision at the end
where they were like, oh, we're going to, you know, we're going
to go away for college or like, we're going to see where life

(12:00):
takes us. And in 10 years, in 10 years,
we'll be taking pictures together anyway.
So yeah. So then they were basically
saying like, oh, in 10 years, maybe if we still have this

(12:21):
depth of feelings toward each other, we'll find each other,
which I thought was very mature.Yeah, All right.
Going back to the book for a SECthough, that doesn't sound like
it has anything to do with the show to be honest.
Right. Like the only similarities are
that they're two teenagers who begin a relationship.
Basically, yeah. I mean like the summer camp

(12:44):
thing is similar. What's summer camp?
Or sorry, not the summer camp thing, but the fact that both of
them take them to like differentstates on family vacations.
Maybe one of them goes to what is it, Martha's Vineyard?
Maybe they'll go to Martha's Vineyard for camp or whatever.
I don't know, loosely based. Listeners, you also watch Middle

(13:11):
Ditch and Shorts on Netflix. I think podcasts will be much
more enjoyable. Yeah, honestly, this OK, before
you binge the shows that this podcast is about, binge all of
SpongeBob, then binge all of Middle Ditch and Shorts and then
binge our shows and then binge us.
Stop listening now, don't turn it off Go listen.

(13:36):
Go watch Middleton Shorts. It's an easy 4 hours and then
come back. Start with With Love Megan and
then listen to this episode. We need to write an instruction
manual for our podcast sometimesI feel.
Sorry when I see when I see the the episode analytics on with

(14:00):
Love Megan have increased because I'm like it's starting
from the beginning and I am so sorry that you're doing.
That who the fuck are you? Not us berating our listeners.
Like don't, don't, don't. That was that was what I like to

(14:21):
call our experimental phase of this podcast.
Yeah, yeah. I would say, well, what would be
the episodes that you would actually recommend from from our
podcast? I would say yeah, Four Seasons,
Sirens, Bet Noir from Black Mirror, and I thought our apple
cider vinegar episode was reallygood, but I feel like not that

(14:43):
many people have watched that show.
Yeah, I would agree, I think. I think Deli Boys is also really
funny. I enjoyed it.
Yeah, yeah. And north and north.
Yeah, we did. You know, we tried with North of
North. I feel like we really gave it a
shot. Yeah, and I think we did justice
to it. I think we did justice to it.

(15:08):
OK, Oh my God. We did the we did the focus.
We. Did a real.
Hit reel it in. OK, wait, we didn't even do
overall thoughts. Yeah, we did.
Not sure. Yeah, I think the show was
pretty easy to binge, honestly. I think there's something about

(15:31):
Netflix shows that just know howto keep me hooked on it, even if
I'm not. I mean, I not that I wasn't into
this show, but just the their way of storytelling always is
very like, I always want to knowwhat happens next.
And so the show definitely did that.
I at some point got a little tired of the teenage drama of it

(15:53):
all and how every single disagreement turned into a
breakup. I was like, guys, like, you've
been through so much at this point.
This one conversation doesn't need to be a make or break, you
know? But I guess that's kind of
realistic. I don't know how realistic that
is, but definitely more realistic for a teenager than

(16:13):
for that to happen in a relationship of 30 year olds.
Yeah. But I thought the character, the
main characters were both reallycute and I was rooting for both
of them, and it was sweet how their families supported each
other. So yeah, overall I liked it.
Yeah, I mean, I think so too. I think in previous binge in
progress sessions or segments, Ihad talked about how the initial

(16:40):
communication issue was was verymuch misunderstanding based
like, oh, he didn't reply to me,but it's actually because his
phone was taken away from his mom.
Like I'm going to block him. And I really hate that type of
drama. But I'm glad that it actually
evolved over the course of the season to to be more than that.
It was more like, oh, this communication between us is

(17:01):
actually solid now and it's morecommunication with our parents
and the communication with, to be honest, ourselves in terms of
what we really want to do instead of what other people
expect us to do. So I liked that it had evolved
into that over the course of theone year that they were dating.
I don't think I would have been able to stand if it continued to

(17:23):
be more about the misunderstandings.
And then to your point about theeffect or like teenage romance
being so like easily like they broke up.
I think that is very realistic because I remember my first
boyfriend in high school, we we started dating like we were
official. And then he went to Europe for

(17:44):
two weeks. And by the time he came back to
from Europe, I was like, I'm over this, let's break up.
I'm not ready. So I think that is completely
reasonable. I feel like high school
relationships are so much like Oh my gosh, we've been dating
for like 2 whole weeks and that's a big thing compared to,

(18:07):
you know, modern day where you're in the situation ship
talking phase for like months. Yeah, that is very true.
That is very true. Wow, Ruchi, a little
heartbreaker. Lol I am not proud of that
relationship. I feel like I acted very
immaturely looking back on it. You are just a child.

(18:28):
Yeah, it's true. Happy I had that experience.
Thanks for yapping with us. OK, wait. 1 character that I
really wanted to talk about was Justin's mom and her parenting
style, because I felt like therewere so many things that she did

(18:48):
which were so good and so spot on.
But then there were so many things that that she did that I
was like, huh, like why are you doing this?
So yeah, yeah. What were some things that stood
out to you? OK, I so just her character
overall. I was actually really confused
about what they were trying to do with her character.
I don't know if they were tryingto show this very nuanced person

(19:12):
who wants the best for their son, comes from a high achieving
background, but once that for their kids, but doesn't want to
pressure them too much. But I was just like, are they
trying to show her as a really helicopter type A mom?
Are they trying to show her as amodern parenting type positive
role model? Are they trying to show her as a

(19:34):
total hardo, judgmental rich person?
I feel like she kind of towed the line between all of those
and, and that's why every time she made a decision, I was like,
what? I don't think she would do this.
And it was super confusing to me.
So I think the first time I thought that was, well, first
when she finds out about the sextape when they're on vacation in

(19:56):
Martha's Vineyard. And then the first conversation
she has with Justin is like, youneed to break up with this girl.
And he's like, no, I'm teaching.I'm helping her.
Just like you taught me to be a stand up person.
And then she turns around and she's like, we need to help this
girl. And it's like, yeah, he was
already doing that. Also.

(20:16):
It's not really your place to dothat.
And then why are you, like, threatening to tell her mom that
is not your place at all? And yeah, that that was so crazy
to me. And then I guess another point
that stood out to me as like a whoa, what are they trying to do
with this character was when he goes to, I think this might be

(20:36):
the last episode when he goes tothe Northwestern mixer or
whatever. And then they're talking to
someone and anytime he tries to answer that person, she talks
over him and interrupts him. I'm like, I I just don't believe
that she would do this. She is on top of things and
wants to help him, but I don't think they've shown enough to

(20:59):
make me believe that this is a bad quality of her, that she
like wants to talk over her son all the time.
So I was just a little confused about what they're trying to do
with her. I do think I like out of the two
mother child relationships we saw, I think my mom is
definitely more like Justin's mom than Keisha's mom.

(21:20):
And so I saw a lot of my mom in her and just, you know, wanting
the best for your child, but also wanting them to know that
your love is unconditional and not wanting to put too much
weight on their achievements, but also wanting to celebrate
their achievements, you know, just toeing that line.
So I overall thought like obviously she had good
intentions, but definitely some things that confuse the heck out

(21:45):
of me. Yeah, I think 1 dynamic that I
didn't really like was how the dad was the chill guy and the
mom was always the disciplinarian because that's
such a stereotypical gender rolethat we see where the mom is
always the bad guy and the dad'slike, Oh yeah, like take the
car, like do all of these things.

(22:06):
So I think that was a little bitstrange.
Going back to your point though,about her initial reaction and
then her double back with the response to the sex tape, I do
think that she had a self reflection moment where she was
like, oh, yeah, I and they and they had a conversation.
She and Justin had a conversation about this too,

(22:27):
where she was like, yeah, I knowthat my initial reaction was to
protect you and, and no, make sure that you knew the whole
story. But now my second reaction is
well she is like she's been kicked out of her school.
No one was there for her, and she didn't even tell her mom,
who I know will be there for herand who would absolutely want to

(22:50):
know. And so I think there was that
conversation around, oh, yeah, we need to interfere in this or
like we need to intervene and make sure that she is getting
the support that she needs. So I do like that even though it
was none of her business that she did intervene in the end
because that resulted in Keisha getting the support that she

(23:14):
needed from her mom. Like, yeah, it was tough at
first, but I think ultimately everyone ended up in a better
place. I think what I also, what I
didn't like, or maybe what I wanted to see was some kind of
consequence for Christian, because I absolutely think that
he got off Scott free and everyone said that he got off
Scott free, but there was nothing in the end.

(23:37):
There was no resolution to that.Yeah, that is so true.
I can't believe she went to promwith him.
I cannot believe that. I don't even know.
Like obviously she did it for her mom's sake or she just
didn't want to rock the boat toomuch and let her mom know that
anything was going on, but I would feel so unsafe with him.

(24:00):
Yeah. I mean, I guess at the end we
realized that Keisha felt like she was to blame as well, which
is like, oh, I am the person whoactually sent the video to
Christian and then Christian sent it to one of his friends
and then that friend was the problem because he sent it to
everyone else. So it wasn't that Christian was

(24:21):
doing anything wrong even thoughhe was, it was like my fault for
sending it to him and believing in him in the 1st place.
And then it was that friend's fault for actually distributing
it. So yeah.
But I think to your point, I also agree.
I don't think she really needed to go to prom with Christian.
Like her mom knew that they werebroken up.

(24:42):
So why I think? Did she know they were broken
up? I think, yeah.
Because she was like, she knew that he was sending flowers,
trying to make it up to her or whatever.
Yeah. I don't know.
I don't. Yeah, I think I wouldn't.
I would not have agreed with Keisha, but also I don't think
Keisha is as petty as I am because I absolutely would have
agreed with Chloe. And I would have been like,

(25:05):
let's sue Christian on the day that he signs with Kansas
because this guy needs to have some consequences.
I absolutely would do that. Yeah, yeah, I know.
It was surprising to me that shedidn't blame she she blamed
herself as much as she blamed Christian.
Because there's such a big difference between sharing it
with the person who made the video with you and then him

(25:29):
sharing it to someone who had nothing to do with it.
There's such a big difference. Yeah.
And it's like, yeah, just like you sending it to him didn't
have to turn into this whole thing.
He's the one that made it into athing, you know?
Yeah, exactly. So I, I was really confused as
to how Keisha was so mature about not involving Christian or

(25:51):
not punishing Christian, but then I don't know, I just didn't
get it. Maybe she.
Maybe. I don't.
Know because she was like, I don't want him to be in trouble.
I don't know. Yeah.
I mean, I think the fact that she didn't think it was his
fault, I think made sense for her not to want to ruin his
life. But like, the fact that she

(26:12):
didn't think it was his fault isthe immature part, not the fact
that she didn't want to ruin hislife.
Yeah. Yes, exactly.
Yeah, she's kinder than I am. Richie would be like, no, this
wasn't his fault, but let me ruin his life anyway.
Oops. Oops, no Kansas for you.

(26:35):
Oh yeah, I wanted to do the truelove test with you.
What does that? Mean in one episode Keisha is
writing Justine name and then her name and then she wrote true
love and then she had 31 percentor something was their love
compatibility and I was like howdid she well like what is this

(26:55):
mash thing and like what is she actually doing so I found a
TikTok that explained what you do and I did it with our.
Names. So is it just you count how many
letters of TRUELOVE are in the combination of our names
exactly? Yeah, OK.

(27:17):
So here's how it looks. So I wrote our names and then I
did the compatibility with our just our first names and with
our first names and our last names.
So yeah, so basically like you add them up here.
So if we were just looking at your our first names, which is
the true love category on the onthe left.

(27:38):
Yeah, we have 21% compatibility because we have RU and L but
none of the other letters. But then if we add our last
names, we have 61% because you basically just add them up
individually and then like like you add them up this way and
then that's your 10s digit and you add them up this way and

(27:59):
that's your ones digit. So our true love compatibility
is 61% if if it's our full name.I have notes for this extremely
scientific calculation. Don't ask me what happens if
there's more than two digits in the 1's.
Digit, I don't know if you. Carry.

(28:22):
Wow, someone named true, true, true, true, true.
It's going to have a great score.
But then you would only have 44%.
No, it's going to. Be true, true, true, true, true,
true, true, true, true, true, true, true.
Or like Rhett Rhett. Revolver.

(28:45):
That would be another true. Love.
OK. True love Revolver.
OK, yeah. If someone's name was E.
Also, would you very well 'causeE's are counted twice, you were
just. True, if you were 10ES as your

(29:12):
first name and 0ES as your last name, wait, that would be 100%.
Cuz yeah cuz true and love both have ES in it.
So you would only have to right,right, right.
But, but you don't need a zero. You don't need a single digit.

(29:32):
So OK, so if you have if you if you name is 10.
Then. You.
Are set for love. Everyone is.
The one anyone? Dude, Lovey Simone's true love
would be so good. Oh wait, no, because Lovey would

(29:55):
be for true and Simone would be for love.
No, it's combined, Yeah. Wait, wait, then what's true and
what's love? You go through all of the words,
all of the names. Right, right, right, right,
right. How many TS are there?
How many Rs are there? U's are there, ES are there, and

(30:15):
you count them out. Got it.
OK. OK.
So lovey Simone. Would do numbers in the love
column, yeah. OK, Yeah.
Just ones across the board. OK, Yeah, I think I want to talk
a little bit more about the parenting.
You know how Justin's mom at onepoint told him to quit

(30:37):
basketball and focus on school. That was so triggering to me
because when I was in high school, I was on water polo team
and swim team and I think it wasjunior year, it was right around
AP season and I was taking an APtest for a class that I wasn't
in. And so I was studying extra hard

(30:58):
for it. And it was also during swim
season and but swim was my one outlet where I didn't have to
think about school. I found swimming so cathartic.
And I remember at one point my parents were like, I think you
need they, they didn't tell me to quit swim team.
They were just like, I think youneed to skip some swim practices
leading up to your AP tests. And I was like, no, swim is my

(31:24):
place. And I, we got into this huge
bite about it. Not they weren't even trying to
get me to quit. They were just like, skip a few
practices and I was like, no. So anyway, that reminded me of
that quite a lot. I know exactly what you mean.
I think I actually had this conversation with my dad very
recently. Where he was like, oh, why are

(31:48):
you doing this podcast stuff? Like just focus on your work and
everything. And I was like, the podcast
stuff is what makes me feel likemyself.
And so I think we've had this conversation, basically the same
conversation like for decades now, where when I was in high
school, they were like, oh, don't do tennis, like focus on
your school work. And then when I was in college,

(32:09):
they were like, don't do acapella, focus on your school
work. And then even when I started
working, they're like, don't do acapella, focus on your, on your
actual work. But I, I've, I was telling him
that out, out of like all of those things, I feel like the
side stuff was what actually made me feel like myself and

(32:29):
helped me deal with all these other things that are going on
in my life. Like it's my main thing, sure,
but the side things and the hobbies and everything, it's
like what makes you feel whole? And you need outlets to turn
your brain off and just like, bea human being and not a robot
that's at her computer all day. Yeah, exactly.

(32:52):
I think I have a theory about this though.
So my theory is that growing up,my parents, at least they came
from very humble backgrounds. They were not very affluent or
anything. And so I think for them it was
truly a luxury to be able to focus on school work and to be
able to one track mind, focus onon actual work.

(33:13):
And that's what they want us to do.
But as we're growing up, we're like just being so single
focused on one thing is is not enough and it's not what we
actually want. And it's also like not what
colleges want either, right? Or like colleges or other places
of work. Like people want you to be
dynamic and they want you to be able to think about things and

(33:34):
in a variety of different ways. And you don't even get that
mindset unless you are doing other things other than your
main work. Yeah, very true, very true.
I mean, the importance of well roundedness is so I, I think in,
in the academia space is so undervalued, yeah.

(33:54):
Yeah. Very true and I think I think my
grades in college would have been so much worse if I wasn't
playing sports and doing acapella because I would be.
So I would be like spiraling every single day and I wouldn't
be able to focus. For sure, I feel that way too.
I think also what's really important to me is communities.
Like I really love creating communities and being a part of

(34:18):
communities as my side thing. And that's honestly helped me so
much in my main work too. Like in like in college we were,
we were, you know, because we did acapella together.
That's how we became friends andthen we were able to help each
other out in our classes. What was that one physics lab
that we took together? Oh my God.

(34:39):
APH 119 or APH one O 9? APH one O 9.
Yes, our applied physics lab, Friday evenings from 7:00 to
10:00 PM. What are we doing?
Horrible, absolutely horrible and.
The way that we were told it wasan easy A+ and we both got a
minuses. Whoops.

(35:01):
Hey if. We were there and we did not
have each other. It would have been like bees.
So true. So.
True, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes. Anyway, back to
extracurriculars. Yeah, I liked that.

(35:22):
I don't know, I just like that they depicted both main
characters as pretty well-rounded people.
Justin had sports and he had music.
It was like, oh, he's really good at basketball.
He's also very into music. And Keisha was a genius and, and
also the Star Trek athlete. So I like that.

(35:45):
I feel like so often characters are painted as one thing, but
it's very realistic for someone to be very smart and also good
at track. Yeah.
Yeah, and almost like expected from colleges nowadays, from
what I hear from my cousin. Yeah, it seems cutthroat now,
man. Yeah, you have to be able to do

(36:05):
it all. And not only do it all, but like
be the best at everything all atonce, Everything Everywhere all
at once. Yeah.
One thing that I wanted to talk about was the soundtrack.
I thought the soundtrack was so good.
So good. I.

(36:26):
Always hit. It was so good.
Yeah. Our friend Sarah, I can't
remember if she said this in ourgroup chatter, if I was just
talking to her about it, but shewas just like, the music made me
so nostalgic for high school, even though these songs weren't
even when I was in high school. It was just it just, I don't
know what how they did it. It just it was so well

(36:47):
integrated and got me in the fields every single time.
It was so that reunion scene in Was it in Martha's Vineyard when
they like bike towards each other and then they hug.
Yeah, so sweet. Was that a?
Was that a her song? Or if it was her or Daniel

(37:08):
Caesar. Maybe both of them.
Best part? I don't think it was best part
actually. I think best part was.
Featured though? I think so.
Yeah. I think so, yeah.
Yeah. Similar to the music, but I
guess on a slightly different note, Did you notice anything

(37:29):
weird with the sound mixing in the show I.
Don't think so. There were a few places where
the dialogue just sounded reallygarbled.
I don't know, I I was like, oh, maybe it's just my headphones.
But then I also noticed it on a TVII don't know what was going
on, but like there were instances when people were

(37:50):
saying people were talking, but like the S sound sounded like a
because it was so like crispy. It was really strange.
I felt that in several places and I was like, are is it just
like really windy outside? Like what's going on?
It was usually an outdoor scene,but sometimes it was an indoor
scene. I did not notice that, but I

(38:12):
believe you because I feel like you're very perceptive when it
comes to these things. I.
Mean it's a little distracting, honestly.
Coming from someone who saw the little glitch for like .1
milliseconds on Kilmore girls. What was that?
So wild. OK, well, yeah.

(38:34):
Listeners, let me know if you also noticed that.
I don't know, maybe it was just me.
OK, what else did I want to talkabout?
Oh, this is just a little note, but in at the basketball games I
noticed that the colors of each team were flipped.
So when it was a Brookwood home game, Camden was wearing their

(38:56):
home colors, but then when it was a Camden home game,
Brookwood was wearing their homecolors.
Oh, is that how basketball works?
That's how you that's how most team sports work.
Yeah. So when you're at home, you wear
your school colors and the away team wears white generally.
OK so I just looked it up and itsays in professional basketball,

(39:18):
teams playing at home typically wear lighter colored uniforms
than the visiting team. Is basketball backwards to other
sports? I think so because I remember I
think football works that way where it's like lighter is the
away and then darker is home. But I think in basketball it's
different because I remember going to a basketball game and
being confused because I was like weird, wait.

(39:41):
I think it was like a, it was like a Warriors game that I went
to and I was like, why are the Warriors wearing this color?
It's confusing. Interesting, OK cuz water
pillows also like football I guess where the home team wears
their team colors and the away team wears white.
And I'm trying to think I just went to a Golden State Valkyries

(40:03):
game, but I could have sworn that the home team Valkyries
wore. Dark colors.
Let me see. Yeah, so let me see.
In NFL, most teams often wear their official team color at
home, with the road team being assigned to wear white in most
cases. But I think they can also.

(40:23):
I think it's like the home team can choose and then NF.
LS. Current rules require that a
team's home uniforms must be either white or official team
colored throughout the season, and visiting clubs must wear the
opposite most. People home.
They're home. They're like.

(40:43):
Full. This was just the choice.
OK, Yeah. Yeah.
The Valkyries game I went to at the Valkyrie Stadium at Chase
Center, Valkyries wore dark and their opponent wore white.
Interesting. But then the Stanford basketball
game I went to, Stanford was wearing white.
I guess it's just a choice. It's just like, what do you want

(41:05):
to wear? All right, interesting.
Well I have really hyper fixatedon that for no reason.
Well, now we know the rules of some sports.
So I guess my question is, what would you have done in Christian
and Keisha's situation? Let's say you were Keisha and
you were in high school and someone had a sex tape of you.

(41:26):
What would you do? I would definitely have told my
parents, but I can see why Keisha didn't honestly, because
I think they the way they showedtheir relationship was actually
very similar to I thought Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore
where Lorelai and Keisha's mom have placed almost their self

(41:48):
worth on their daughter's success.
And that's so much pressure on the daughter.
And so the daughter just feels like she has to be perfect
anyway. So if but if I was in Keisha's
shoes, I don't know that I wouldhave acted any differently.
Honestly, I think, I hope I would have had the wisdom to

(42:09):
know that it wasn't my fault andit was all him, but I don't know
that I would have. I don't know.
What would you do? I guess you already said what
you would have done. Yeah, Well, I don't know.
I think in high school, high school me.
I don't know if high school me would have told my parents.
Well, high school me, I was too immature to be in that

(42:32):
situation, if you know what I mean.
I was like. Girl I didn't even kiss a boy
till I was 18 so there was no way I was going to be in that
situation. Same.
Oh my God lol what was I going to do at a math?
Competition. Anyway, yeah, so I think if I

(42:54):
were in that situation, I don't know if I would tell my parents
either. I think I would wait a really
long time and then tell them after a couple months maybe.
Yeah, I don't know if I would have survived without telling my
parents. Actually, I think I, I mean it,
me and my situation, not in Keisha's situation.
But yeah, I think I I probably would have told my parents

(43:16):
immediately and been like, guys,help me.
What did you think about the high school experience in
general though? Do you think it's like
significantly different from howyou experienced high school?
I think they show high schools on TV as everyone being so
beautiful and stylish, but I waslike wearing hoodie, jeans and

(43:40):
flip flops to school every single day.
Like I did not have time to think about what I was wearing
to school. That's the only thing that I
thought was unrealistic, but everything else I thought was
quite realistic. I truly wonder how high school
is today. I wonder if they are that
stylish because I would believe it to be honest, if people were
like heavily influenced by TikTok or Instagram or

(44:02):
something. I guess TikTok, not Instagram
and being like, oh, I need to like wear this and like wear the
special thing and whatever. Because I feel like even growing
up, my high school experience was like not, not what the high
school experience was being portrayed on media.
And even from talking to like other high schoolers in my high

(44:26):
school, I was like, we had very different high school
experiences. Yeah, I don't know.
Who knows? Who knows?
Do you feel like you are more prepared or maybe more scared
about potentially being the mom of a high schooler one day?

(44:48):
I, I don't know, I, I thought like every time there was a
scene between a parent and the high school child, I actually
felt like I knew what the parentshould be saying.
So maybe I don't feel ill prepared, but it is just like a
scary world that kids are growing up in these days.

(45:08):
The, the world is so different now and I've thought a lot about
like at what age I would let my children have a smartphone and
stuff because I, I think it's really scary how influenced by
social media young children are.And so I don't know, I might
wait until they're 16 honestly, to give them a smartphone.

(45:32):
But anyway, that's the only partthat scares me is how the world
would affect them and how they would perceive themselves and
everything just based on social media.
But other than that, I don't know if the show really scared
me. It did you know how Sarah, when
she was talking to us about it, she was like, it made me want to

(45:53):
fall in love. It made me so excited to be in
love. I actually had the opposite
reaction where I was like, I'm getting residual emotional
burnout from this relationship and I don't want to talk to any
man. No, not that, not that extreme.
I just just seeing how distraught each of them was at

(46:16):
so many points over the season, I was like, I don't know if I
want that emotional rollercoaster like it was.
It's just so I've been there, you know, I was there for so
long and so many points in my life that I just don't know if I
can do the high lows again. But what about you?
Not to say it wasn't really about the high lows, but it was

(46:37):
more about like being there for each other and being the
physical manifestation of the voice that's inside your head.
Like that scene at Christmas where Justin and Keisha are
talking and then Keisha is like,well, I got you this Christmas
gift just in case you decide to pick music.
And then also at the end where he's like, I think I'm going to
go to Northwestern. And she was like, are you

(46:59):
absolutely sure about that? So I think like being that
emotional support and being like, is this really and truly
what you want to do? Because I know you and this is
what I where I've seen you be your, your happiest self.
And I don't think you would be happy at Northwestern.
But also I just want to support you no matter what.

(47:20):
I feel like that was what resonated with me about their
love story. Yes, but I also think I thought
her whole when she came at him and was like, you're so lost,
blah, blah, blah. I thought that was just her dad
that was in her ear being like your boyfriend's super lost.
And I don't know, I was like this.

(47:40):
I feel like this came out of nowhere and now he believes it
about himself when like it's normal to be lost at this age.
It's not a flaw. So I don't know that that's kind
of how I reacted to that. I was just like, I don't think
she needs to be criticizing him for this right now.
And I think it's a little unfair.
Like, just because she's had this goal that she knows she

(48:02):
wants, that she was five years old or whatever, doesn't mean
everyone does, and it doesn't mean that that's something
that's wrong with them. That's true.
I do think in that moment it wasprobably her dad's words that
were coming out as her own. But I also felt like she had a
point and like maybe she couldn't.
She shouldn't have used those words about oh, you're lost and
you and you like need to get your stuff together or whatever.

(48:23):
But I do I think that she was providing a voice to the doubt
that was in his head. Yeah, I think, OK.
I do think I'm a little biased because I know not everyone
feels this way, but I truly believe my parents know me so
well and always have my best interest at heart that I'm like,

(48:45):
why are you listening to this girl that's known you for a year
when your parents have been there for you your entire life?
Why are you choosing her advice over theirs?
So I think that's the place where I'm coming from, where I'm
like the like, what did? Yeah.
He's getting some judgement fromthis girl he's only known for a
year. Obviously, they know each other
well, but like, she doesn't havethe same life experiences he's

(49:06):
had. She doesn't have the same
support system he has. She doesn't have the same.
Well, actually, I think both of them had a lot of expectations
placed on them by their parents.But yeah, I was just like, I
don't think she needs to be the one telling him this right now.
I don't know. And I also felt that for her, I
was like, why are you? Actually, he didn't.
He never really pushed any sort of agenda on to her, I thought,

(49:29):
but that was also because she was so focused and so kind of
clear headed about what she wanted out of life.
Yeah, I think the only thing that he pushed on to her was
more about telling her mom aboutthe sex tape.
And that was because his mom waslike, I'm going to tell her mom.
And I was like, yeah, I think you should tell her mom.
Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.

(49:50):
I, I think where I'm coming fromis like, I did not feel like I
had that kind of support from myparents.
And so like, I had a very different relationship with my
parents and my family growing up.
So that's why I feel like being like, in the relationship that
I'm in, I do feel very emotionally supported.
So yeah, I, I, I anchored on that side of things versus like,

(50:13):
oh, someone's pushing me to do something and you don't know me,
you don't know my life. That's generally how I feel when
people that aren't my parents tell me that I should do things.
I'm like, you don't even know me.
Is that how you feel about us? No I no, I think I feel so known

(50:33):
and loved and seen by our friendgroup, but outside of my
parents, my sister and our friend group and that is how I
feel. Generally, yeah, I, I, I think I
would feel the same way too. Yeah, I feel very strongly.
Well, I as in I feel strongly about our friend group, but not
my parents. OK, that leads me to the

(50:54):
question that I wanted to ask you and then I'll I'll answer
this. Also, if you were Justin's mom
and he came to you after gettinginto Northwestern and was like,
actually I don't want to go anymore, how would you react to
that? I think he would have to have a

(51:15):
very good reason to do that. But I think it depends on like
so much context, right? I guess like, let's assume it's
Caltech and not Northwestern. So there was that like legacy
factor. Let me think about this.
How would I feel? I think I would be disappointed
to be honest, just because I feel like my life took such a

(51:37):
strong pivot after Caltech as a result of of College in a great
way. So I would definitely want that
experience for my child and I don't want my child to do
anything that could potentially ruin that.
At the same time, I think that luckily I have enough of a nest

(52:01):
egg that if my kid just wants todo whatever it is that makes
them feel the happiest with a plan for a higher education
later, then I would be OK with that.
I think I would feel similarly to you.
I would definitely want them to have a plan.

(52:23):
I think my first reaction would be something like, you know,
college isn't just about your major and what you're going to
do as you're a profession after school.
It's also about living with people your age and, you know,
having this very unique shared experience where you're

(52:43):
surrounded by people your age taking classes with you and
living together. And not only that, having a
college degree opens up so many doors than just the major you're
in, you know? And so I think that's, I would
try to reason with them like that.
I never heard that come out of the parents mouths, which

(53:05):
actually really surprised me because I thought the dad would
have said something like that. Like, do you know why it's so
important that you're the first man in our family to go to
college? On my side, it's because we
didn't have the choices that you're going to have after
college. It's because we didn't have the
opportunity or anything. And after you graduate from
college, you have the luxury of so much choice in your life.

(53:28):
If you wanna pursue music after college, go for it.
Like at least you have a collegedegree to back you up on that.
I really wanted to see that and I so I think that's how I would
have responded if my kid was like, I really want to do this
one year program, Give me a year, which is kind of what
Justin did. He was like, I think I'll go to
Northwestern in the fall. If I don't, if like nothing

(53:49):
happens, but like I really want to take this one year to pursue
this. This is my plan.
I will go to college after this.I just like want this year while
I'm still young, while I have the motivation and the
creativity to pursue this. I think I would be OK with that
If, if it's not just like if I don't feel like they're just
like, I just don't feel like going, you know?

(54:10):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. It's like you've got to have a
have a plan. But one, one reason why Justin
didn't want to go to Northwestern is, is that he has
like this learning disability and he has ADHD, which requires
him to take extra time. And he knows that going to
Northwestern, which is a rigorous, academically rigorous
school will actually take away time and, and his creative

(54:33):
energy basically from making music.
So it wouldn't just be like, oh,you can do music on the side
side or you can do music afterwards.
It's like you really have to buckle down and focus on the the
academics at Northwestern or risk getting kicked out
basically. So what if your kid was coming
to you with with that being like, I don't really have a

(54:57):
plan. I don't know if I want to go to
Northwestern, but happy to delayit one year for now.
Like what? What would your response be?
I OK, I actually want to talk about this ADHD thing because I
Did they ever talk about that before he started writing his
essay? Yeah, I think they did.
Yeah, he was taking an exam and then his his teacher came up to

(55:18):
him and was like, hey, just so you know, like you are allotted
extra time because of whatever it was like some scientist test
that he was taking and he was like, and considering your
grades, I think you would reallybenefit from it.
And then Justin just like kind of rage quit at him and like
threw the the exam at him and then like walked away.
Oh, OK. I must have missed that part

(55:39):
because when they, when he started writing his essay and
about how ADHD is his superpower, I was like, where
did this come from? What?
But OK, that makes sense. Yeah.
Yeah. I I think like, I don't know, I
guess in that situation, I'm notsure what I would do, but I
would, I would hope that we would have had that talk before

(56:01):
only applying to Northwestern orwhatever.
Like if that's the case, great. Apply to a state school or
something where you think you can thrive better or, you know,
handle the workload better than like basically an Ivy League
institution. Just yeah, I just have some sort
of plan, but I still, I don't know.
I, I, I guess I'm very traditional in the sense that
like, I still think there's so much value in having a college

(56:24):
education. Yeah.
And. Just for now, we can say that
for sure, but I think I think what you're getting at, which I
agree with, is, is there a valuein having an Ivy League brand
name education versus going to astate school if you know that
you're going to do better by going to a state school?
Right, exactly. And I, I think the answer is no,

(56:46):
like it doesn't matter. I think it's it's more about
getting that college experience and having a four year degree
than the actual college you go to.
Agreed. Yeah, totally agreed.
I think if my kid was like, oh, I I want to postpone Caltech or
or MIT for one year, but I don'tthink that it'll that I can like
handle the academic rigor. I'd be like, great, don't go.

(57:08):
Like, don't, don't. Do it.
Don't do it, especially if he has a passion like music and and
he wants to explore that passion.
It's like, oh, absolutely go to a state school, like figure it
out. Get the time to figure it out.
That's what college is. For yeah, totally.
Yeah, great. Yeah.
OK, I my last question, why do you think the show was set in

(57:34):
2018 and not 2024? Oh yeah, I was wondering about
that too. If I had to guess, they didn't
want to deal with COVID. I was also thinking that, but do
you think 2024 they would have had to deal with COVID?
Probably not, I don't know. OK, the book was.

(57:56):
Written in 1975. So they weren't trying to keep
true to the book. Obviously it wasn't like there
was a flash forward or anything.That's what I was expecting the
whole time. I was like, oh, they're going to
show them at the end of college or something.
That's why they're starting in 2018.
And then I, I thought it was going to be this like.
Maybe about 2 is about. Oh, maybe.

(58:20):
Maybe. Yeah.
So I was just like, why is this 2018 that's so arbitrary?
Yeah, Yeah, maybe that is what season 2 is about.
So actually my my sister was saying that sometimes with with
shows that they know are going to be popular, they
automatically what is it? They have automatically option

(58:43):
like two seasons. So yeah, yeah, they fill out the
first season and then they can already announce that there is a
second season because they know that it's going to be popular.
So maybe that's why they said itin 2018 because like, oh,
they're like, oh, we know that it's going to be two seasons.
So maybe the first season can belike when they initially start
dating, and then season 2 can bemore of their college years or

(59:05):
beyond. And so they have the space to
kind of get into 2025. Yeah.
OK, I like that theory. So we shall see in Season 2, I
suppose. Yeah.
Oh, I wonder if we can do that now before we to provide.
Oh, OK. Netflix officially renewed
forever for Season 2 on May 14th, 2025, just six days after

(59:27):
the premiere of Season 1, likelythat it will be released May
2026. OK, filming has not yet started,
so there's no trailer. OK, great.
So we don't know. OK, well, great.
Did you notice that the intro that said forever with all the
pictures in it always had some sort of symbol from the upcoming

(59:51):
episode? Kind of like in Four Seasons.
Yes, except they actually had like stills from the yes, yes,
yeah, yeah, I did. Notice not really symbols,
stills from the upcoming episode.
Yeah. So the ones I know, No.
Maybe I shouldn't list them out because I didn't.
I only remember the balloons from.

(01:00:11):
The prom episode, the first promepisode, or I guess like their
first breakup. And then what was another thing?
There was an Oak Bluffs thing inthe Martha's Vineyard episode
and I think some sort of there was a Northwestern 1 when he
gets into Northwestern. Yeah, I remember there was a

(01:00:31):
school. In the lyrics.
There's this still where Keisha has like a water gun and she's
like against the wall. I remember that one because I
was like, where is that from? And then later in the episode
she doesn't. And I was like.
Oh my God I thought Keisha was so cute.
Just everything about her is adorable.
Yeah, she was so cute. Also she had ABS.

(01:00:55):
ABS for days. Oh my God damn.
Yeah. And I was like, should I start
running and I didn't do it. Running makes.
Me gain weight? Oh no.
Yeah, but I saw her like 3:00 AMmorning routine and I was like,
I will not be running. Yeah, wait, I haven't really

(01:01:16):
made to gain weight. Oh, this is, it's actually very
common for marathon training. Not that I trained for a full
marathon, I was training for 1/2marathon.
But basically I think like you get so hungry from long runs
that you just keep eating and then you feel like you're under
fueled so you just keep eating and then you're even though

(01:01:38):
you're burning like 2000. No 2000 calories would be for a
super long run. It would be for like a 22 mile
run, but yeah, sometimes I wouldburn like 1000 calories from my
run, but I would still be in a calorie surplus just because I
would keep eating. Oh, because you'd be like, oh,
but I burned so many calories. So like I can eat all the things

(01:01:58):
and then. Yeah, it's, it's like that
mindset, but also like I just kept feeling hungry.
Like the hunger would not stop every three hours.
I'd be like I need another meal.Yeah, Oh my God.
OK, I will not be doing that. And IA few of our friends have
also said the same thing, that they gain significant weight

(01:02:20):
while marathon training. Oh, maybe it's because your body
is like not used to feeling so hungry or not used to like
burning that many calories in a single day that it's like this.
We got to make, we got to make sure that we're eating surplus
in order to prepare for this crisis that is happening to us.

(01:02:44):
Emergency mode. Yeah, fight or flight?
When you picked flight, should we do ratings?
I would write this show maybe a 7 out of 10 yeah, I think it was
engaging. I liked the story kind of will
they won't they part did annoy me a bit, which is why I'm only

(01:03:07):
rating it A7. But I really liked the family
dynamics and just kind of the pursuit of achievement and
happiness that both kids felt throughout the show.
So yeah, 7 out of 10. Yeah, I think I would also do 7
out of 10. I really enjoyed the way that
they portrayed the teenage romance.

(01:03:29):
It did feel super relatable. It's like the like awkward teen
romance and the miscommunicationand relationships with parents.
I think 1 was it. I can't remember.
There was one line that stood out to me that the mom said that
I was like, oh that's so true, Ican't remember.
Anyway, yeah, I think it was really good.

(01:03:51):
I think once the miscommunication part cleared
up, which happened within two episodes or so, then I started
getting into it a lot more. 7 out of 10.
Also love the soundtracks. Binge in progress.
Binge in progress. So I was in Seattle this past
weekend and I stayed with my friend Jane, and she is equally

(01:04:14):
intense about Gilmore Girls as Iam, and so we watched a few
episodes. We watched a few episodes of
season 7, which actually is mostpeople's least favorite season.
Season 7 is not most people's favorite season because Amy
Sherman Palladino and Daniel Palladino left before that
season, so it was written by theother writers in the room, and a

(01:04:38):
lot of people don't consider it like Canon for that reason.
So we watched a few episodes from that season.
We also watched a few episodes from Year in the Life, which was
the reboot 10 years after the original showed show aired or
eight years after the original show aired.
And we watched a few episodes ofseason 3 of Gilmore Girls.

(01:05:00):
So that's really all we watched.Speaking of Amy Sherman
Palladino, I started watching ETWA, which I think we kind of
talked about in some earlier segments, but I'm like more than
4 seconds into it now. I'm four or five episodes in.
So I started watching that and Ithink we're going to do a
podcast on it, So stay tuned forthat.

(01:05:24):
In other news, I started I well,OK, I haven't started, but I
start. I play this game, Pokémon TCG
Pocket, and there was a new packthat was released like a couple
days ago called Extra Dimensional Crisis.
So I've been opening those packs.

(01:05:45):
That was my nerd out moment, which Shalini said I could do I.
Did what's Pokémon TCG? I forgot the other words.
It's basically. Like Pokémon trading card game,
but digitally. So it's like on an app, which I
really like because I really hate like collecting physical

(01:06:06):
things. I would really much rather
collect digital things because Ireally like collecting.
But I'm also a minimalist, so those two things are generally
at odds with each other. So I love games that allow me to
collect virtually. So yeah, you can, like, open
packs and collect Pokémon and stuff and also battle online

(01:06:28):
with bots and with players. Cool.
Nice. Should I open a pack?
Shalini? I can do it right now.
OK, OK, here's extra DimensionalCrisis.
Let's see what we get. OK, I'm going to make you choose
one. Boy.
Tell me when. Stop.
It it is, yeah. OK.

(01:06:50):
Meditite trip over. No Meditite, Let's trip over.
We got a new circuitry. Yeah, that's it.
That's the fun part of it is just opening the packs.
Great. Yeah, thanks for your happy.

(01:07:11):
But should we tell our listenerswhat shows we have in the
pipeline that are coming up next?
Go for it. All right, so after today's
episode, our next episode will be ETWA, which Ruchi was just
talking about, which will release on June 10th.

(01:07:32):
Then June 12th, we will be covering the newest season of
Ginny in Georgia Season 3. I actually forgot to mention
during Binge in Progress, I started season 1 of Ginny in
Georgia just to remind myself ofthe beginning of the show.
Good call. And then after that, we are, I
might do an episode with my sister on the pit.

(01:07:53):
We might do Department Q, which is a new show on Netflix.
So listeners, if you have opinions on what you would like
us to cover next, definitely letus know.
