Oh HELLO. Are we all still in quarantine? LOL. We’re all slowly but surely adjusting to this new normal in different ways but we can all agree on one thing, tie dye.

Welcome to 2020. If you’ve been living under a rock… well… you’re actually probably the safest considering everything going on right now. I’m going to have to find me a rock and some toilet paper.

Welcome back to the highest rated political podcast in the literal world. HAHA. We talk about what’s REALLY important, Nickelodeon drama. Mads tells the team all about the scandal of Zoey 101 behind closed doors and it might be falling on deaf ears (a la Michael gives no fucks), but this really opens up the floodgates to each of our individual bullying stories.
