#10. New Year Goals, Sympathy for Marika, Updates on previous discussions, and Relationships

Hubba Hubba! This episode we get a little wild over a dessert wine with Marika, Rachel, Megan, and our friend Kristen. Although it normally only take a couple hours to record our episodes.... this one in particular took around 4 hours. We let Marika tell a story from her year in Thailand, while Meg briefly gets into the discussion of a “paper marriage” contract (in the military). We gossip on relationships, drama, and review some of the News topics that we discussed in previous episodes.

#8. Megan’s $10k vet bill, The ‘No-Santa-Clause’ in SF, Christmas & Church, Apple Watches, and Mice
Lots of stories during this episode! Starting with the latest and greatest: Megan’s expensive “lesson learned” and why Rachel can’t drink beer anymore; Conrad’s “high guy” late night snack. We talk about our plans for Christmas, and what traditions our families have (Megans’ being a little more rated R). Meg discovers the walkie talkie app on Apple Watch. And then...

#6. Feast Mode Baby! Wine, Heavy Rain, Boyfriends, Student Debt & Financial Aide, and Hallucinations
It’s Feast Season! We open a bottle of Zin from Bear Flag Wines and talk about our plans for Thanksgiving. You’ll quickly learn who’s traditional and who’s not! Oh and we have our boyfriends with us this episode, yayyy! We discuss the new Financial Aide requirements starting in 2020, and how this change is going to affect Bay Area college students. We talk about this insane weather shift and our wet-weather camping trip (during the last storm). Has anyone ever smoked weed and hallucinated? Or maybe had a “bad trip?” Well.. Marika tells us her hilarious experience with a recent trip to the “bad place!” It stormed hard the night we recorded (48 hours before releasing).. so we had to cut this one short! It got a little nutty! But Happy Thanksgiving to all and safe travels if you’re hitting the road!

#3. How To Even Begin Organizing, Kidney Stones, Flu Shots, and Farting in Public

Do you use a Storage Unit? How much do they charge you? We're there hidden fees? Megan learns quickly how much moving is going to cost. Rachel explains how she's had TWELVE kidney stones, eleven have been in the last year alone! Also, who gets the Flu shot? Can you guess who doesn't (Megan or Rachel)? Meg also dives into a funny wedding story that has to do with farting in public (typical Megan-style conversation). And for those who stuck around - we fixed up our audio so that you don't hear as much background noise (yayyy!). You also get a hilarious (and expensive) manic minute with Marika about her expensive Taiwanese Gym Membership - and the cost of getting out of it. Cheers, friends!
