Putting out the dumpster fire that is current events, one can at a time. It’s a fun chat between friends– one that’s newsy, possibly controversial, and relevant. We’re here to discuss what we know and learn from each other. Journalist Leah Gillis in Paris (frmr NBC, AOL), and lawyer Elura Nanos in New Jersey (OWN series) help you get a handle on our world (yay for passive learning!), and maybe even get you involved (secret agenda alert.) No stodginess, propaganda, pearl-clutching or bullshit. It’s time to break down serious matters in a way that goes down easy. Because smarter is better.

Episode 13: Model Wisdom, RBG and Word Jewelry
Meet Paris-based journalist Leah Gillis and New Jersey legal eagle Elura Nanos, college friends who talk current events and life girlfriend-style. Join them to hang, learn, and discover what’s going on that matters. On Instagram: @aleahthing @elurananos @youguysthepodcast (All times are estimates cuz we need staff. Sponsor us!) 2:30 Leah and Elura talk “word jewelry” and the pure joy of circumflexes. 6:00 The times they are a-changing, and we mean international zoom divorces and trans-continental zoom weddings. 8:00 French cafés are closing, and the U.S. may be able to learn a thing or two about how to make policy changes. Also, we coin the phrase, “Les-Mizzing out,” and we expect you all to start using it. 11:00 Leah reminds us how we should be more sympathetic to those from challenging places, and we discuss that even in France, people are trying to police women’s clothing choices. 13:00 Cleavage at the Musée d’Orsay? Quel scandal! 14:00-30:00 The story of Em Rata brings up an interesting clash between copyright and privacy laws. Now that Instagram is the new Warhol, who owns images of themselves? 31:00 We bid farewell to RBG, and take a walk back to the VMI case. 42:00 We talk current SCOTUS fuckery, with special focus on Merrick Garland and Amy Coney Barrett. There is some talk about changing SCOTUS for good, so what’s that about? 50:00 Elura thinks Lois Lane is a pain in the ass, and Leah finds this blasphemy. 55:00 Leah reports in from the trenches on how tough it can be to work in the world of journalism. Are stories crushed on purpose? Why is there no interest in publishing an important expose on horrific treatment of Native women?

Episode 12: Law and Voting Problems, Astro Talk and Our Not-So-Recent Movie Reviews
Meet Paris-based journalist Leah Gillis and New Jersey legal eagle Elura Nanos, college friends who talk current events and life girlfriend-style. Join them to hang, learn, and discover what’s going on that matters. Talk with us on Instagram: @aleahthing @elurananos @youguysthepodcast (All times are estimates cuz we need staff. Sponsor us!) 1:20 Elura catches Leah up on the ever-evolving shitshow that is being a parent during back-to-school-pandemicmania. 10:00 When a shattered glass is more than a shattered glass, and how Ghost has stuck with us over the decades. Wherever Patrick Swayze is, we’re sure he’s glad about that. 12:00 The wisdom of David Blaine and Philippe Petit are helping us get through this difficult time. We’ve also discovered the genius of Kobra Kai and you need to watch it, stat. 22:00 We update you on the sitch with qualified immunity because did you know we’ve got cops using lethal force to protect animal shelters from folks trying to drop off stray dogs? Yeah so how does someone end up dead from that?! It’s a WTF alert, indeed, and perhaps relevant to *cough cough* defund *cough cough* the police. 40:00 Time for an election fuckery update and a reminder that postal shenanigans are threatening to destroy our democracy. Like red alert time. 45:00 It’s probably a bad idea for public officials - Hi Bill Barr and Donald Trump! - to publicly encourage people to break the law. What could go wrong? 60:00 Grifters, “everywhen,” and how we can thank Covid for creating some good new words even if we’re not sure how to say them. 65:00 As it turns out, nipples are actually the mother of invention. Also, dick necklaces as birthday gifts, and how language is a window into a culture’s values. 70:00 We reflect on losing Chadwick Boseman. 72:00 Bouquets of freshly-sharpened pencils, and somehow, Leah hasn’t seen CastAway. Someone get Tom Hanks on the line.
