March 01, 2018 18:40 - 1 hour - 69 MBMarty and Nicole tackle some tough subjects this time around, so we start off with something light and fun, like giving up things you love in order to commemorate the death of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. That's right, Nicole's gonna talk about Lent, as well as alpacas and looking at smut on your phone. Next, we get furious about poor-shaming, as Nicole rails against the "fuck you, got mine" attitudes of people who police what food stamp recipients should or should not buy. Finally, ...

In the meantime, here's some bonus material from about a month ago when Nicole watched The Shining for the first time and wasn't fully aware of what it was about going into it.

September 30, 2017 14:25 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBIt's a new episode of Not Each Other (that's actually two new episodes fused together. It's complicated).

July 04, 2017 02:30 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBThis episode goes country as Marty and Nicole rant about the downfall of the music they were raised on. What is "bro country" and why is it so awful? More importantly, what's with the completely performative and toxic ideal of masculinity it promotes?

July 04, 2017 02:11 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBThis time around, Nicole and Marty get their schadenfreude on as they delight in the absolute failure and ruin of the Ja Rule-helmed fraud known as Fyre Festival. Which just begs the question, why do so many "serial entrepenuers" think they can do anything? But first, we re-visit the topic of minimalism and hear stories about how Nicole's husband doesn't understand dress codes. We'll also talk about street harassment and ask what the hell motivates men to do it.

July 04, 2017 01:53 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MBOn the first episode of Not Each Other, Nicole and Marty fumble their way through a "satiricial" article in The Federalist while debunking the myth of the "Friendzone" and discussing how weird it is that Mike Pence won't hang out around women who aren't his wife.

All that, plus recommendations for things th...
