Ep 53 - I Soaked My Way To The Top

Ep 54 - It's Not Fun To Be Woke

This week, the burnouts discuss "the vibe shift". Or rather, we ask, "Is it hip to be left wing anymore?" We delve into our theories as to why it was not only possible for Trump to be reelected, but for college students to wear MAGA hats at frat parties without being ostracized. We expand upon our established ideas of the unpopularity and "death" of "woke", and discuss why none of your liberal friends ever seem happy. And finally, we share our theories on where the pendulum will swing next.

Ep 53 - I Soaked My Way To The Top

This week, the burnouts finally tackle a topic we've teased for years - Mormons. We discuss how their history intertwines closely with the history of the United States, how the Mormon Church has built Utah to be such a bizarre outlier of laws and culture in the United States, and how Mormons are conspicuously influencing us all to be a little bit more Mormon every single day.

Ep 52 - I'm Not Like Other Fleabags

This week, the burnouts explore a beautiful, well-written, and relatable coming-of-age story that's near and dear to the host's hearts. Fleabag. We extrapolate its themes of dissociation, feminism, and making horrible decisions in a desperate grasp for self-discovery and understanding. And, having lived and participated in the time of Fleabags culturally imminent popularity ourselves, we discuss in hindsight what it meant to be "in your Fleabag era".

Ep 51 - Reddit, Should I Disown My Cuck Son?

This week, the burnouts have a fun episode where we explore r/AITA. We each selected several stories and then flipped a coin to determine who would be defending which position, forcing ourselves to defend the strangest, most dysfunctional people to ever share their life story on the internet.

Ep 50 - Signs Your Gay Porn Might Actually Be Straight

This week, the burnouts (with special returning guest Sophie!) tackle Heated Rivalry, and the massive cultural phenomenon it left in its wake. We discuss the depth and purpose of the plot of a smutty gay romance, the depth and purpose of the Gratuitous sex scenes, and what exactly the original purpose and audience of the story itself was intended to be. Finally, we ask the question of whether or not feeding the fujoshis who fetishize these kinds of stories is moving us in the right direction. (WARNING!!! SPOILERS FOR HEATED RIVALRY!!!)
