Similar But Different

[This episode was recorded in early September and was postponed due to the sensitive nature of the topic surrounding current events at the time]

Jar pull! This is one of those hypotheticals that people talk about. If someone were to break in to your house, what would you do? Does it matter the situation?

Also, our merch site is live! Get yourself a shirt at similarbutdifferentpodcast.com.

Jenn has a baby shower and Rachel watches a baby during it! By accident? Kind of. Whoops. Hear about the fun game Jenn played during her baby shower and what caused Rachel to have to do a full outfit change while putting a baby to sleep.

Don't forget we have merch. Hats, shirts, beanies - oh my! Get yours at similarbutdifferentpodcast.com

Rachel went to Salem and wants to talk about it! She got an aura reading, a tarot reading, and learned a lot about the Salem Witch Trials. Did you know men could be accused of being a witch?

We also have new merch! You can now get yourself a beanie, mug, or tshirt. We're big fans of the beanies. Get yours at similarbutdifferentpodcast.com

As usual we discuss a multitude of things like names and how they corresponding with jobs, our new merch, and sexy maternity photos. But we also talk about height! What is the average height in the US? What is considered short in professional basketball, and does height matter if you're confident?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

After weeks (months?) of telling you it's coming soon, it's finally here! We are "hard launching" our website which is really just a place to buy merch which might still only be a tshirt upon this episode releasing but it's soft and you should buy one at similarbutdifferentpodcast.com

Oh, and we also talk about the weigh of people's opinions and advice and who is more sensitive to it than the other.

Have you been a victim of "shreking"? Have you yourself been Shrek-ed"? What does this new term mean in the dating world? Well, we're talking all about it this week! We also talk about getting a bad haircut and dealing with some intrusive thoughts.

A lot of hot takes in this one. One of us is jay walking all the time, the other one would never, and biking on the road is terrifying. Also, you better not stop in the middle of the road when you have room to pull over because some of us might have ice cream in the car.

Definitely not safe for work and definitely not safe if you get squirmy about gross body stuff. In this week's episode we learn what makes Jenn pass out and what makes Rachel want to throw up. Also shocker, being pregnant is not all rainbows and butterflies and turns out that is a common experience. Want to get Jenn a gift for baby boy? She made a registry just for our Citizens! Jenn's Registry

We missed you! And each other. To make up for being gone for so long, this week's episode shares some exciting news! We also go through a lot of fun citizen updates. Make sure to comment your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

We go deep on the pros and cons of sharing salary information and how it impacts employee morale, the business as a whole, and friendships. Do your friends know how much money you make? Would you tell them? Does your workplace share salary information? Does that change how you act at work? We have so many questions! Also, how does tenure work? Someone please tell us.

Remember when Rachel said she signed up for a Mud Run? Well, she followed through and completed it! Learn all about how it went, where mud is still stuck, and if she'd do it again. Also, Jenn finally gets an ice maker!

Rachel goes to Bulgaria! And other things.

Rachel comes across a theory about Gatorade flavors that brings up the topic of sick days in childhood. Turns out the experience was very different for both hosts. We also go on a tangent about donuts and a new app Rachel is obsessed with.

Is this episode about the world's two favorite things? Maybe, maybe not, but it's high up there for Jenn. This week we talk about something big in Jenn's live that happened a few years ago that has yet to be discussed on the pod. We also go deep into the best grocery store cookie, the most expensive cookie, and a gross way to eat Oreos. Show notes:

• Last Crumb cookies: https://lastcrumb.com/

Thank you notes seem to be pretty controversial. Hm, well, maybe just by generation. This episode goes deep into thank you note culture as well as snail mail in general. We discuss when a thank you note is important, how long you should keep them, sending holiday cards (and how long you keep those) and more.

Oh, we also get some more citizen feedback on the right way to do your business in the woods - the more you know!

This title is a little misleading because this episode is actually a catch up between friends and not about ketchup the condiment - but we do mention ketchup so it's not a total lie.

This week we "catch up" on our lives since it's been a while since we've seen each other and lot of things have happened. We also talk about our weekend "vibe" when we're staying in (which is most of the time).

Jenn is about to go ...camping?! We are both as shocked as you are. This week we discuss how she’ll prep, the magic of a campfire chat and lots of other great stuff I can’t remember as I’m typing this so it will be a nice surprise for all of us.

A random news story stirs up an interesting dialog around family “relationships”. It's obviously not okay right...or is it? Also, what is the difference between second cousins and a cousin once removed?
