…Oh hey, guys! Long time no pod. This week we seem to have a generational theme and don't you worry, we do plenty of yelling about it. Discussions include: relationships vs situationships, guilty gazillionaires, and whether love is a concept created by the media. Thanks for listening, Shallow Frenz!

Hey, we didn't talk about AI this week! Kind of. Discussions include: parasocial celebrity idolization, criticism vs condemnation, and whether a 30-year-old should still have unicorn wallpaper.

Return to form this week with a quick chit chat ep to give you your TSE fix while we get our lives together. Apologies for the bad audio quality, we are apparently still amateurs.
Another long episode this week, but we hope you stick with us cuz it's worth it. Discussions include: the shifting sands of religion in America, the Renaissance, and how Cain wasn't actually a bad dude. Enjoy!

This week we have a bit of a longer episode for our Shallow Frenz (we just had so much to say). Discussions include: the state of modern female friendships, support vs affirmation, and the effect Joe Rogan had on Austin. We hope you enjoy!

Continuing this week with our fresh pod structure, we have two interesting new topics for you! We hope you enjoy listening to two amateurs attempt to have an intelligible conversation about the future of our country and the effect a modern plague can have on our socializing. Put your arm floaties on and dive into the shallow end with us, won't you?

Hello Shallow Frenz! It's been a while - we missed you guys :) We're back and better than ever with a new structure for the pod. Let us know what you think! (Apologies for the jank audio, blame Scott for his old man handling of technology)
Another chit chat episode, hooray!! Join us to discuss a plethora of topics such as DIY home repair, medical shows, and kitties loose in the woods of Northern Michigan. Enjoy, Shallow Frenz!
This week we take the pod into the wild to talk about the value of places. It's a bit of a bumpy ride but we still think there are some nuggets of gold in the chaos. We may even have some special surprise guests ;) Enjoy!
After a few weeks off, we're back with another chit chat episode! Topics include Taylor Swift, molecular modeling, the spectrum of sexual identity, and golf! Put your arm floaties on and dive into the shallow end with us :)
We have another very special guest joining us this week to talk about - you guessed it - podcasts! Listen along as we discuss our favorites, the ones that inspired us, and also maybe a little bit about the ones we hate. Enjoy!!
We're solidly in those double digits and feeling good. This week we discuss personality quizzes and rant about being put in a box for an hour. Also we somehow talk about Bridgerton again. Hope you enjoy!
This week we bring you two hours of pure chaos. The audio is also a little rough but we did the best we could with three adults on a couch. Talking points include evolution, Bridgerton (part 2), and why my dad is friends with a 30 year old. We hope you enjoy!
This week's episode is a little different, but we hope you like it anyway! No real topic so we went back to our roots and bounced between a couple different ones. Enjoy!
What do sidewalks, tipping, and chronic illness have in common? You're about to find out! Pour yourself a glass of wine and join us for this week's episode of chattin shit
We made it to lucky number 7, folks! To celebrate we cooked up some prime theories for you guys to think on, complete with discussion on time travel, pizza, and creationism. Come on the adventure with us, Shallow Frenz!
Welcome back, Shallow Frenz. This episode was brought to you by our blood, sweat, tears, and a helpful little friend who may or may not make an appearance ;). Strap in for a fun little jaunt through BOOKS!
