56. Little Girl Lost (w/ Katie Lilly)
June 06, 2022 00:01 - 1 hour - 98.5 MBIt's auto-bio time again, fam. But unlike with Alice and Jay, this seems to be based on actual events.

Beloved special guest host Katie Lilly (aka the haunted outfit) fills in for Josh, and offers great insight into Drew's party era, as well as her current role as TikTok Mom! Wanna support us?

54. Girl
March 31, 2022 04:59 - 1 hour - 100 MBIt's our shortest title ever, fam. This one is special because we both read the book AND watched the movie (Blake just watched the movie)! Girl by Blake Nelson is a coming-of-age tale that brings out the grunge scenester still living in all of us. But we're definitely NOT groupies, despite what the film version might tell you. Or are we? Honestly I don't know, they just make me write these show notes. Here's a spoiler though since it happens so seldom: Josh n' Jess like this...
