No Chill Enneagram: Watch Party

Welcome back to the Area Code neighborhood: Feel For the Game. Nick and Noah return with a series of (mainly basketball) conversations about nostalgic moments in NBA history, current issues plaguing the league, how coping and mental health play a role in sports, and more. Tune-in as they unprofessionally, but sincerely explore why sports are bigger than just the score of the game. Subscribe now, and follow along to find out how many times Noah makes an unwarranted Kansas Jayhawks basketball reference. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/feelforthegamepod/ ✌️

Well, friends, we’ve come to the end of the line. We started this podcast three years ago because we needed a safe space for fellow enneagram fanatics who didn’t take themselves too seriously. We’ve made a lot of friends, and gotten some hateful one-star reviews along the way. In this final episode, we are getting it all out of our system once and for all. Except that we’ll probably keep talking about the enneagram an obnoxious amount, just not on this podcast anymore. If you’ve ever wished that we would type improv techniques or rank couple pairings, then boy do we have an episode for you! We can confidently say that we have gone where no enneagram podcast has gone before, nor should they ever go again.

In our penultimate episode of No Chill Enneagram, we aim our sights on two superheroes that give Bethany and special guest, Jennifer Clark the vapors, and Richard a negative self-image. A Marvel tour-de-force, Falcon and the Winter Soldier came out of the gate with some pretty fun action scenes and capped off the series with a deeply empathetic take on what it means for a black man to defend a country that failed to defend him. We loved it, and so we discussed it. And typed the characters. Enjoy!

This week, we welcome back Patnacia Goodman to discuss The Princess Bride, available to watch at your local library or wherever they rent stuff. Is the Princess Bride a love story with some action in it, or an action story with some romance? Does it pass the Bechdel test? Why does Fezzik make us a little sad? We answer these questions and more in this action-packed episode of No Chill Enneagram. And no, don't worry, there's no kissing.

This week, we discuss New Girl, available to watch on Netflix, with Patnacia Goodman. New Girl is like Friends, but for not-old-Richard-types. It's an unflinchingly raw and honest take on cross-gender relationships, what it means to "adult", and the vulnerabilities we expose ourselves to in the modern age. Also, it's freakin hilarious. We don't have a lot more to say to preface it. Just watch the show, then listen to our take on some of the most root-forable relationships on TV.

This week we discuss Brooklyn 99, available to watch on Hulu, with special guest (and enneagram 9) Sam Stevenson! Brooklyn 99 has managed the impossible: it made policing seem funny. While some of the early season jokes don't exactly hold up (a mentally unstable policeman, ha ha!!), the show's dogged focus on the people in the 99 and their wildly disparate dispositions and seasons of life results in one of the most relatable shows on television. We here at NCE believe that much of the reason for this is the show's deep knowledge of its own characters, the way it managed to mete out personal growth in small, delicious morsels without completely rewriting or overhauling a character. In the end, these characters fear, desire, and aspire to the same things they always did, depending on their numbers of course.

We interrupt our regularly secular program to discuss A Week Away, the Christian Camp musical featuring some glorious '90's CCM (available on Netflix). This episode called for special guests D.L. and Krispin Mayfield, two equal halves of the podcast Prophetic Imagination Station. There's something a little TOO appealing about A Week Away, the High School Musical/Camp Rock-inspired camp tale about teenagers who sing songs their Christian parents would love. We're not sure exactly who the target audience is for this surprisingly divisive and weird amalgam of genres and nostalgic references, but we do have opinions!

Listen to Comedy Has an Ouchie's "To Be Asian Is an Honor" here. Look, we can't exactly vouch for the, erm, realism of anything that happens in Bling Empire (available to watch on Netflix). But what we can do is type these characters as just that: characters. Sure, one way of describing Bling Empire is "What if Crazy Rich Asians, but real," but another way of thinking of it is "What if Keeping Up With the Kardashians, But Interesting". This episode, we had special guest, Jennifer Clark (who HAPPENS to be Richard's wife, but THAT DOES NOT DEFINE HER) talk about what it was like to see herself in a reality show full of rich people, where she did and did not feel represented, and yes, we all weigh in on that one relationship.

This week, we discuss Mean Girls, which is available to rent online wherever movies are available to rent, and also your local library probably has it. Look, we're worried about Ms. Norbury. But we're also stressed out by Regina. And we're totally bewildered by Cady. That's why we brought return guest, Shannon Whitehead, to join us and help make sense of this whole social dynamic. And don't even get us started on Aaron Samuels, the quintessential mediocre white man who manages to pass as EXTRAORDINARILY DREAMY and A REAL CATCH all while refusing to make a single reasonable decision the entire movie. Anyway, this is us having opinions about Mean Girls. Enjoy.

This week we discuss Schitt's Creek, available to watch on Netflix. At the end of a long winter, we settle in to discuss the show that helped us make it through. Schitt's Creek is funny, yes. But more important: Schitt's Creek is the most warm-hearted show on television. It loves its' characters (yes, even Roland) and as a result, we love them too. There's no better show to show us the brightest, quirkiest side of every number on the enneagram. No better way! Don't even try!

🚨EMERGENCY POD🚨 This week we discuss the WandaVision Finale, available to watch on Disney+. If you listened to our MCU episode a few weeks back, you're probably aware we have some things to work through. So we brought back The Enneacast's Jesse Eubanks to discuss to help us process a show about processing grief.

In this episode, we're joined by Katelyn Beaty (author of A Woman's Place) to discuss seasons 1 and 2 of Fleabag, which is available to watch on Amazon Prime. Ahhhhh, Fleabag. It's hilarious, uncomfortable, cringey, but also weirdly relatable? And suddenly extremely dark? Of course it is, because Fleabag is actually a deeply considered series about what it looks like to run from grief, and the ways we push one another way in our attempts to escape it. But it's also a case study in what happens when we NEED one another, not in the good-hearted, humanistic way. In Fleabag, every person is just 100% stuck in their numbers, and all their friends and family like it that way. But what numbers are they stuck in! And will they ever escape! And why is hot priest Getting Away With It??? All of this and more in this episode of No Chill Enneagram: Watch Party!!!!

In this episode, we discuss WandaVision and The Marvel Cinematic Universe. All bazillion of these films are available to watch on Disney+. This week, we welcome Jesse Eubanks, Enneagram expert and Marvel mega nerd from The Enneacast to spend WAY too much time typing literally every major character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And let's just say Richard (enneagram 4) has a bone to pick with the internal makeup of the MCU. You can probably already guess what it is. ALSO: We discuss the modern suburban fantasy gone horribly wrong, WandaVision! For more super-fun No Chill Enneagram content, check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nochillpodcast.

This week, we discuss season 7 of 90 Day Fiance, available to watch on Hulu. Don't get us wrong. 90 Day Fiance is a GIFT for anyone who just wants to judge unhealthy people. But it's also an exercise in empathy, an opportunity to understand exactly what drives a person to complete and total disintegration, to the point where they can only work out their shit on someone else. That's what we found so fascinating about watching an entirely too large stable of couples attempt to become soul mates in the shortest amount of time possible. Join us, along with special guest Joy Beth Smith (enneagram 2) on an epic journey to type and judge, ahem, evaluate the integration level, of every. single. couple. on season 7 of 90 Day Fiance. It's for science. For more super-fun No Chill Enneagram content, check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nochillpodcast.

This week, we discuss the profoundly moving, In and Of Itself, available to watch on Hulu. Look, we don't like to do this. We don't like to be those annoying people that insist you "have to watch" every show they think is remotely interesting. But this time, we're serious: you absolutely have to watch In and Of Itself. And then you absolutely MUST listen to our enneagram-focused discussion of the... stage play? magic show? one man show? Whatever it is, it's the sort of thing that will make you want to sit in the dark for a while and just, process stuff, you know? We discuss all of this, plus what enneagram number Derek Delgaudio is, why he disintegrates on Twitter, and what we thought of those celebrity cameos. ENNEAFAM : This week we'll be having a Hulu Watch Party where we chat amongst ourselves while rewatching In and Of Itself. Want to be one of the 6 others who joins us? Just follow us on Twitter and pay attention! We'll send out a link and the first 6 who join will get to hang out.

This week, we discuss the pros and cons of both Wonder Woman movies, available to watch on HBO Max. If superhero movies are modern day parables or whatever, Wonder Woman is a story of how men can't help but work out their shit on other people. ENTER: Wonder Woman, the no-nonsense superhero who's way less about brooding and much more about setting people straight with a little dose of reality. PLUS: Why Barbara is amazing, despite what she thinks about herself. For more super-fun No Chill Enneagram content, check out our patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nochillpodcast.

This week, we try to crack the code of the mysterious Search Party, available to watch on HBO Max. Ahhh, Dory. She's complicated, mysterious, remarkably disintegrated - and maybe she's utterly untypable too? Bethany and Richard set out to disentangle the many apparent fears and motivations of everyone's (least?) favorite millennial representative. Meanwhile, we have very little trouble figuring out her utterly disastrous friend group, and we marvel over the real heroes of the show: the lawyers. PLUS: We discuss what primed Dory and her friends to make utterly terrible decisions, time and time again.

We didn't have the opportunity to record a full-fledged episode for you this week, so we're dropping a patreon-only exclusive for EVERYONE to listen to. A few months back, when Hamilton expanded from a Broadway sensation to a Disney+ sensation, we took some time to type the folks in that play. It's a more casual, meandering version of what we're doing now, but we think it's probably enough to hold you over until next week. Enjoy! There's lots more where this came from, so if you want to hear our thoughts on the enneagram and tik tok, target, or tiger king, sign up for our patreon at https://www.patreon.com/nochillpodcast.

In this episode, we tackle the crowd-pleasing Ted Lasso, available to watch on Apple TV+. Look, it doesn't matter who you are, what your enneagram number is, and how disintegrated you might be, it turns out it's literally impossible to come in contact with Ted Lasso without loving him. Even if you're an egotistical soccer phenom, or a high octane boss-lady, or a hard-hitting, highly skeptical journalist, you've gotta give credit where credit is due, you know? So uh, what number has that super-power, and how can we become it? This week we discuss the mystery of Ted Lasso, and work to deconstruct the exact qualities that make one almost supernaturally likeable. ALSO: How does a man like Ted end up divorced? It's weirdly plausible. We're taking next week off, but if you'd like to work ahead check out Search Party and Wonder Woman/Wonder Woman 1984.

In this episode, we discuss Pixar's latest animated tear-jerker, Soul, available to watch on Disney+. Okay, so according to Suzanne Stabile, you're not supposed to type a child. But a pre-born soul is okay, right? Either way, we've gone an done it. ALSO!! We discuss the 4's proclivity to zone out and fall into manholes, and how fatal that can be when your environment is a comically dangerous one that doesn't value simple safety measures like blocking off open manholes and moving bricks in safe ways. AND OF COURSE!! We give life advice for anyone who's about to be born (through the lens of the enneagram, of course). Watch assignment for next week: Ted Lasso, available on Apple TV+. It's only like ten 30 minute episodes, and they go down smooth.
