The Olympics always manage to turn us into sports fans, but never as much as now. In awe of Anna Gibson competing in the winter Olympic's first year of including ski mountaineering (skimo) as a sport, the twins revel at the athletes' abilities and attitude. Quinn and Riley discuss loves of pastries and talking about the weather. FOLLOW US:@theqandrcode@quinnliljestrom@rileyliljestrom@tattoobyquinn
Happy Tuesday! Prepare to hear some thots--oops! We mean *thoughts*... on the new film, Wuthering Heights. The twins discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Beyond this, Quinn and Riley chat about peaceful practices in their day-to-day and highly recommend a couple books. This leads them to discuss the injustices facing indigenous people in the U.S. Thanks for listening!Follow Us:@theqandrcode@quinnliljestrom@rileyliljestrom@tattoobyquinnYouTube.com/@theqandrcode
We're welcoming some amplified energy this week at the start of the Chinese New Year. According to the Chinese zodiac, it is the year of the fire horse, and the twins explore what that energy means. From clarity to chaos, there's opportunity for growth if we embrace ownership and balance the pressure with rest. Riley is stoked on the Olympics and Quinn is stoked on beatboxing.

This Tuesday, Quinn and Riley do what they do--SPEAK UP for what they believe in. Both big and small topics are valuable, so the twins range from performing their best anime voices to urging their fellow white people to advocate for change within their circles. At The Q&R Code, balance is a core tenant; the twins' emotions range from excitement to frustration and nostalgia to unease. Thanks for listening!FOLLOW US:@theqandrcode@quinnliljestrom@rileyliljestrom@tattoobyquinnYouTube.com/@theqandrcode
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. While the twins feel such gratitude for much of life, there are also innumerable tragedies. While immigrants and citizens alike are at risk in our country today, Quinn and Riley consider the importance of connection and integrity. The Q&R Code will always celebrate diversity and try to uplift one another. Also discussed: Quinn putting herself through horse school and a new season of the Traitors (is it time for twins on the show? Put in a good word for us to Mr. Alan Cumming).

Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched? By the government, strangers online, or even your neighbor? This week, the twin's talk surveillance, inspired by behaviors spied in Mormon culture. From in-group policing and picking apart the specific details of "transgressions" to lie detector tests, the women of Momtok seem hell bent on finding The Truth, and that desire is reflected in the larger cultural climate in the US today. Episode honorable mentions: sourcing an outfit for a themed costume party and how to eat a tamale.FOLLOW US:@theqandrcode@quinnliljestrom@rileyliljestrom

On this Q&R Code Tuesday, the twins are skeptical about the ways white people practice yoga and do not endorse tank tops that read " Namaslay". They aim to find the distinction to appreciate versus appropriate. Q&R chat about their current fall show line up and marvel at people who pursue higher level education.FOLLOW US:@theqandrcode@quinnliljestrom@rileyliljestromYouTube.com/@theqandrcode
