We learn about the humbling experiences of the rich and famous on the celebrity dating app Raya. Spoiler alert: OMG they're just like us! Then we fully moisturize to discuss our strategies for staying asians-that-don't-raisin. Dermatologists hate them for this one secret.
We fantasize about 24 hours without men on Earth. The bras are being burnttt! Then we bring to the court of public opinion accusations of microcheating. No kink-shaming allowed!
We swing into a conversation about Jungle Asians and Fancy Asians. Is it ok to call someone by either term? Then we take a stroll to remember 2 of Harjot's worst dates of 2022. Where are the churros, Simon?
We burst onto the podcast to officially cancel the Southern fried fake therapist, Dr. Phil. Then, we examine the frustrating people who lack a POV on anything too "political". Are you a fence rider?
We snatch the crowns off the mild men that mainstream society celebrates as "hot". We demand more inclusivity in a sea of Chrises! Then we get down to numbers in our discussion about body count and the confusing label of virginity, because "eventually, we're all somebody’s slut."
We dive into the secretive and surprisingly controversial glitter industry. Is there a shortage? And where is it all going? Then we roll up our sleeves and defend BIPOC creators in the comments section. Harjot has time for this!
We make time to discuss the minds of the chronically late and anxiously on-time. Then we talk about our fave place for queer content, bipoc POVs, drama, and trends: TikTok. #IYKYK #finnabeinthepit #bffr
We slang our big dick energy all over Episode 3. First Harjot shares another funny personal story from his past, when office chitchat over coffee turned too hot to handle. Then we discuss gross Dane Cook's predatory games night and other disgusting celebrity groomers.
We scroll through TikTok drama and uncover the messy lives of linemen and the linewives that love them. Stay away bucket bunnies! We also take the time to callout another gay-icon-gone-wrong: Kathy Hilton. We try to figure out why she gets a pass for so many problematic things?
We come back from our sab-BADDIE-cal spent tackling a year of creative projects (@sailormoonparody) to jump back into pod-ing. We first unpack the trending Psychology Today article “The Rise of The Lonely, Single Man” and then discuss how exclusionary gay pop culture can be. Sailor Moon Parody Linktree: https://linktr.ee/sailormoonparody
We discuss the companies considering pawrental/meowternity leave policies for their growing population of Millennial pet owner/fur parent employees. Then we tell stand up comedian Dave Chapelle to sit down because of his lazy transphobic comedy special.
We clean up the misogynist mess that is known as 'Strategic Incompetence', where partners (mainly cis men) pretend they lack the know-how to perform traditionally women tasks (cleaning, cooking, childcare). And then we discuss 'LulaRich', the Amazon Prime documentary that exposes the multi-level marketing company LulaRoe and their cult-like practices and problematic teachings.
We pull out a seat and take them as we LEARNT from Silky Nutmeg Ganache's (@silkyganache) discussion about RuPaul and Todrick Hall's POV as QPOC expressing themselves in the queer community. Then we talk about the 'soaking' loophole that religious youth are using to avoid the sin of premarital sex. And if you have time, please support our passion project Sailor Moon Parody Linktree: https://linktr.ee/sailormoonparody
We pull out our teen diaries to gossip and compare our pubescent dreams and ambitions. Then we discuss how people of colour and children of immigrants can experience grief, and the racial and cultural gap in bereavement policies.

We stay off-cam to discuss the expectations and impact of going on-camera during work meetings. Then we talk about two problematic/controversial figures who claim to have 'transitioned' races.
We get into the back-to-school spirit and remember our favourite teachers from our childhood, and have storytime about a past chance to be on Sesame Street. Then, we discuss problematic wellness/spiritual influencers who are spreading misinformation about covid and the vaccine.
We re-live the rise and fall of early 2000s iconic MySpace/AsianAvenue social media celebrity, Tila Tequila. Then, we discuss the origin and discourse around the term 'cheugy', and its problematic connection to misogyny. Video explaining Cheugy: https://youtu.be/AJb25SOjEjI
We celebrate the new genre of children's television that embraces trans stories, then visit a memory of awkward teen regret and romance.
We're back for Season 5 to share relationship advice for staying together by keeping things very separate. And we plan the logistics of running away during a Millennial midlife crisis.
We examine bias when choosing healthcare providers, and take a stroll down Sherway Gardens to reminisce about a cardigan-clad, customer service crush. Learn more about Access Alliance: www.AccessAlliance.ca Learn more about Rainbow Health Ontario: www.RainbowHealthOntario.ca
