Jaclyn (of whatsinmybath) and Donna are adults now. But what is adulthood anyway? The two elder millenials discuss how they appear functional despite their inherent dysfunction while also dissecting pop culture, trauma and laughing and leaning into their own whimsy.
The pair spend more time than they really intended to ever think or talk about the Royal Family, but thanks for that, Harry. They also notice a surprsing trend of people making wild claims on reality tv, likely for insurance fraud purposes, while Jaclyn explains the Netflix Reality TV Cinematic Universe and Donna is rightly horrified. Jaclyn went viral on idothefelting and surpassed her previous whatsinmybath record and it resulted in some very magical things as well as trolls, of course so buckle up, buckaroos. And we find out that Donna is a Jeff Goldblum hipster.
Content note: bodily functions, Prince Harry's new book (spoilers), internet trolls.

Episode 26: I Don't Know If This Is Right
From body suits to church dresses and the vexing sorcery of bra sizing, the pair have a lot to say about fashion this week. Jaclyn tanks her google algorithm by running multiple searches trying to find an article that Donna vaguely remembers about men and the scent of pumpkin pie. Donna grew up in a very CBC family and recalls the "beginning of the long dash," while Jaclyn airs her grievances over the current state of her social media presence. And they both agree, communal charcuterie in this day and age is just weird.

Episode 25: There's No Shame in Not Liking Wrists
Jaclyn bought a cheap endoscope to look inside her ear, and the tale she tells is basically body horror. The pair share about their Jr High Drama class experiences and we learn that if you liquor Donna up, she will bust into a rendition of the dance from Backstreet's Back. Alright. They share their disdain over in person shopping, and Jaclyn reveals her past as a "pantologist."
content note: weird things going on with the inside of your ear, first aid and cuts on wrists, Aaron Carter's passing, Jennette McCurdy's memoir.
