Jen + Lillian sat down to have a jaunty chat about summers, but they end up making a sharp left into being mostly unattended, curious weirdos.

49. All the Sunken Cruise Ships: Missing going places? Well today, Jen + Lillian aim to make you rethink that--after these stories, you'll be relieved to be housebound.

37. All the Jesus Freaks: And a Blessed Tits to you, friends! On this holiest of Thursdays, come let us regale you with the liturgy of entirely fucked up religious upbringings: from being boy-baited into Youth Group, to Pentecostal ravings, to dressing up in drag as an Old Jew and accidentally finding G-d... at some point, we all see the light.  (Oh, right--and also with you.) Aired April 23, 2020.

36. All the Pink Smog: We're bringing you a special treat today--we take turns reading Francesca Lia Block's beloved WEETZIE BAT, painting the perfect picture of an '80s Los Angeles fever dream, rife with pink glitter, lush flora, and punky magic fairy love. April 22, 2020.

And we brought you a corsage! Aired April 15, 2020.

29. All the Hand Jobs: Okay, we know this name is ridiculous, but it's also 100% a term we used at the place where we met--as co-workers at LUSH, or: the Oompa Loompas of Bath Bombs and Massage Bars. We take you through the magical Wonka memories of working for LUSH... mixed with the batshit chaos of being in the badlands of NYC: Herald Square, a veritable cornucopia of sidewalk hustlers, upsetting smells, and Penn Station dwellers.
