Known movie hater, Angela, gets deep when talking about Greta Gerwig's, Barbie (2023), starring Margot Robbie. Angela anti-feministly (?) states, "I never felt bad for Kens," and, "men are a little bit useless." Known movie lover, Maya, sounds like a broken record whinging, “9.5 out of 10, could’ve used more fat people." Join Maya and Angela in this summer mini-episode recapping and reviewing summer 2023 BlockBuster™ hit, Barbie. Are these two Lesbians wet for Ken? Should men have the right to vote? Should CGI be banned and Marvel sued for reparations? Tune in to find out. Follow Us! Parasocial relationship much?

This episode is dedicated to Tug. I know this is typically an anti-pet podcast, but I (Angela) have spent the last few weeks worried about my dog Tug. When this episode was recorded I was sure there was going to be a cure for whatever was wrong with him. Just before sitting down to write this episode description I received a call that Tug got 15 pounds of fluid drained from his abdomen and the vet still does not know what is wrong with him. They aren't running any more tests. At this point we are just hoping for the best. Tug is my best friend and favorite being to ever exist. The first night I had him he fell asleep on my lap, belly up and I cried because I had never felt a love like that. That first night he slept in my bed and took up most of it. The next morning he woke me up at 5 AM and took a big sh*t in the corner of the room. I was annoyed, but I knew nothing he could do could make me stop loving him. To this day, the first thing I do when I see him is sit down on the floor so he can lay down in my lap, belly up. Tug is the biggest love of my life. Since I got that first phone call telling me he was sick whenever I think about him it's like I can feel him. I can feel his muzzle being held in my hand right before I give him a smooch on the nose. I can feel his back pushed up against me as we lay on the kitchen floor, him the little spoon and me the big. He is 12 or 13 now, I really can't remember. But I will always remember how much comfort he brought me and how much love he taught me I was capable of giving. I am sorry that I do not have anything funny to say. I just had to tell someone, anyone, how much I love my dog. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicheties/message

 Picture this.... it's 2017 Maya is in Spain writing in her google docs diary that she shares with her college friends. She's severely depressed and her diary entries are scaring the hoes. Little does she know, she's insured overseas. She could be seeing a therapist! And listen, therapy is not a cure all but it may have stopped Angela from wanting to board a plane to knock some sense into Maya.  This week Nicheties hosts are talking about therapy and why they love it!  Below they have attached some links about how to get started finding a therapist.  https://counseling.uiowa.edu/additional-resources/guide-finding-therapist-community https://www.psychologytoday.com/us Remember that we love you and it is okay to ask for help even if you don't know what kind of help you need. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicheties/message

Hey Nicheties listeners! Maya and Angela need help and usually they're too proud to ask for it, but in this rare moment of vulnerability they are asking you to rate this podcast wherever you are listening. Seriously, some doofus gave them a low rating on Spotify and that's apparently like really hard to come back from.  Happy Valentine's Day! Thanks to the 2010 hit movie Valentine's Day you can celebrate the holiday no matter the time of year. This week Angela comes to recording with plans to analyze Valentine's Day the movie, but in true Gemini fashion refuses to do so. Maya on the other hand is all in. Listen in as they discuss soldier Julia Roberts, sex worker Anne Hathaway, and potential terrorist Ashton K*tcher.  Find us on Tiktok and Instagram @NichetiesPod --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicheties/message

When you picture an (informal) spiritualist - who do you see? It's not Maya is it?! Okay if it is she doesn't want to know actually lmao. Maya divulges that she might actually be a sweetheart rather than the Ms. Trunchbull character she's been made out to be. Spirituality and horny Radical Leftist poetry come together to make this one hell of a cursed episode.  Maya and Angela discuss nepotism or "nepo babies," and define networking. Did you know if you're a local you're probably also networking? Well, you are! And you don't even have to wear pantyhose or feel icky while doing it. Join Nicheties hosts as they realize that networking is actually not the villain and Angela flexes their knowledge of Kardashian baby daddy marketing ploys. Simultaneously, we get aggro Angela doing what we love to hear them do, denounce celebrity worship. That's called duality folks.   Unhinged Quote of Episode 37 “We don’t get hard-ons for the middle class and I would argue that is who we should be getting hard for” - check out Nicheties' Insta to double check who tf said that Find Nicheties on Tiktok and Instagram @NichetiesPod Nicheties Website Make sure to follow, download, rate, and review this podcast wherever you are listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicheties/message

 It's a Christmas miracle that we got this episode out for you all lmao Maya is chronically late and Angela has a chronically upset tummy and those things joined forces to create this episode. If you're time blind this is the episode for you, they talk for seemingly ages about how Maya can't perceive time and why Angela values being on time so much (spoiler alert: it's anxiety). Did you know that mental illness can cause dressing incorrectly for the weather? Oh yeah, and memory loss.  It's winter break and Nicheties hosts are feeling run ragged so they spend time dreaming about vacation spots (San Diego, a Cruise, inside of David Blaine, etc.).

It's here, it's queer, it's the episode where Maya and Angela are forced to talk about sports.  "Sports?!" you just whispered in utter disbelief. Well, sports outfits. For this week's carpet time segment Angela takes you through the twists and turns of tennis fashion for the last 120 years. Spoiler alert! You can't go that hard in tennis if you're wearing a corset, that skort you wore all summer 2022 is just a tennis skirt without room for your balls, and that workout dress that you wore as your little black dress when you went clubbing is just a modern tennis dress.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicheties/message

Hey y'all! You may not know this, but Nicheties the podcast only exists because hosts Maya and Angela moved to the same Iowa town at the same Iowa time and subsequently spent countless hours sitting criss cross applesauce on the floor in front of a floor length mirror doing their makeup together and building the foundation *wink* of their friendship.  This week's F*ck, M*rry, K*ll, But Not involves c*ckolding, ca$hpigging, and Angela's boss. Minor inconveniences include but are not limited to; being exposed to the 12 Commandments, Kim Reynolds' ugly vests, and picking things up off of the floor. Travel back in time with Maya and Angela as they reminisce on the days of chunky mascara, contour without blush, and those weird paddle face brushes that no one every actually used. And if all of the aforementioned topics failed to properly intrigue you and you're still feeling iffy about pressing play, just know that somewhere along the way we explore the possible reasons why our buttholes are not on our backs and exposed to the elements.

POV: Your mom brought to an event at the public library to listen to queer educators, Maya and Angela, play a game, teach you about your emotions and why it's okay to have big feelings about minor events, and give a really comprehensive lesson on geography. You're sitting criss-cross applesauce on the big oval carpet with the ABC's on the edge, surrounded by other twenty-somethings who's parents thought it would be good for them to get out of the house.

Dear Shiddies, I think we should take a break. We've had a really good time entertaining you, but we've barely heard you laugh and you never comment on our instagram posts. It's starting to feel like a one sided relationship. I think we should both take some time to think about what we want from one another and attempt to improve ourselves. We'll work on our microphone skills, and you'll work on sharing words of affirmation, PUBLICLY.  Like we said at the top of the letter, this is only a break.  See you soon!

What is this?! An episode dropping just two weeks after the last one?! Are we back to our regularly scheduled programming??? (Sorry future listener, I know you're just looking for a description of the episode, but I must take time to be amazed with us before I get into it.) This week Maya and Angela want to ease you back into regularly scheduled shenanigans by only doing two out of their three segments. First they tell you which of them still has a hymen, then they take a short pit stop in gaslight city, only to move on and reminisce about their favorite YA books.  Press play to find out why everyone, including Lea Michelle haters and the electric company, should shut the f**k up.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicheties/message
