   Catching Up (aka We're Back!)

   Sorry we've been gone so long! We figured everyone was having fun with their summers and didn't want to hear us, but we were wrong! Several people hit us up asking us to get back on the podcasting train, so we figured why not. Contrary to our usual style, we went at this episode with no agenda. We just wanted to shoot the sh*t and do what we do best: rant about anything and everything. We're so glad to be back with y'all! Available wherever you get your podcasts! Give us a follow!

   Teaching

   We're sorry for the late post! This episode was recorded in February and then we just got busy. You know who's busy as hell? Teachers! Literally if you see a teacher, give them a hug or something. They probably need it. Though we don't have masters in education, teaching has always been a part of our lives. This episode is a long one because we're passionate and boy do we have opinions. You'll definitely want to take a listen. Available wherever you get your podcasts! Give us a follow!

   Behave Yourself (aka Manners)

   One thing the hosts of Excuse Me have learned throughout their academic lives were impeccable manners. Well, maybe. But we can all agree having good manners is generally a positive attribute. Can you tell the difference between an entree and a salad fork? Do you take up the whole sidewalk when you're out on a Sunday stroll? Well if you if said yes or no to any of these questions, you'll definitely want to hear our hot takes on manners. Available wherever you get your podcasts! Give us a follow!

   New Year, Same Trash

   For better or for worse, it's finally 2022. It's a new year, and we couldn't pass up the chance to talk about everyone's favorite new year activity: new year's resolutions. Sorry for the lateness in posting this episode. Your hosts were pretending to be friends and were on vacay (which we chat about). Do you subscribe to new year, new me? Well this is the episode for you. Do you hate those people that subscribe to new year, new me? Then shockingly this is also the episode for you. Available wherever you get your podcasts!

   The Holidayz

   It's that time of the year again. Families are gathering, apple and pumpkin spices are abundant, and capitalism as a love language is in full swing. The holiday season is upon us and we couldn't resist talking about all the things that entails.

   Job Hunting/Hating

   Do you have a job? Do you need one? Hell, do you just wanna hate on capitalism? Most of us have to toil in the 9 to 5 (or comparable) quagmire at some point in our lives. That means you're going to have to job hunt. In this episode, we discuss the lamest parts of the process and what we believe will bring you to job-having success.

   Time Management

   Sometimes people are 5 minutes early to obligations. Sometimes people are 5 minutes late. Wherever you land on that spectrum, you definitely have feelings on Time Management. What are the odds that the podcast about time management is a week late? Clearly is one of Andrew's shining examples of how he sometimes isn't the best at time management. But don't be like Andrew, make sure to check out the episode in a timely fashion! Available wherever you get your podcasts! Give us a follow!

Enjoy the end of your Labor Day weekend and by extension the summer with our hot takes on social media.

   5-year (or any) Plans

   What do all successful people have in common? They were born rich. And they have plans. This week, we discuss the pros and cons of the 5-year plan mentality. We also share our wisdom on setting attainable goals; like becoming famous so we have a platform to take down T*mi L*hren and B*n Sh*piro. They're the worst. Take a listen and help us get famous (that's one of our 5-year goals). Give us a follow!

    Writing

    If there's one thing we're good at, it's being opinionated when pen meets paper (or finger meets keyboard). You don't have to be the next top romantic novelist to want to write! That's why we decided this week is all about writing: the process, the inspiration, and just doing it so you actually have something to work with. Whether its for comedy, poetry, or even trying to finish up that 15 page paper on your nipple piercing, writing can be a grand ol' time. Available wherever you get your podcasts! Give us a follow!

    Professionalism

    Are you a professional, or just a smooth talkin' hot mess? Whether you're a musician or an intern at an exotic dance establishment, you gotta be professional. We tackle what we deem necessary to be considered "professional", as well as what professionalism shouldn't be: attire, trash talking, and rubbing salt water on your nipples.

    Arts Admin

    Something near and dear to our hearts: our day jobs... This episode is all about the quagmire that is arts administration. You might know it as the people that reach out for donations whenever you give your contact information to a theater or orchestra, or maybe you are in this noble profession yourself (and if you are, on purpose?)
