Super micro-influencer Riley Buckler, karaoke pop sensation Alex Stucky, and future reality TV star Kelcie Thomas discuss navigating your friendly neighborhood existential crisis. We’ll talk about giving the middle finger to others’ expectations and give you the permission to be the youest version of yourself. If you have that nagging internal voice telling you there's more to life than your current relationship, job, living situation, or anything else to which you simply can't relate, come party with us.

stories of riley's and kelcie's elementary school that did not include modern luxuries like A/C
stucky's formal apology 22 years in the making
