We’re back this week on We’re Doing It, and we are breaking down the mildly infuriating everyday pet peeves that drive us completely insane. Since Sofia has to make her own coffee at home now because we are broke, we are tackling the universal frustrations of public behavior and household logistics while running on pure brain fog. 

First up, we give a massive shout-out to our isolated listeners tuning in overseas in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. Then, we dive right into the ultimate test of human character: people who refuse to return their grocery carts to the cart corral. Albert shares some personal frontline history from his first job, sack-corralling at H-E-B, and Sofia shares a hilarious, mildly illegal personal story about an abandoned Walmart shopping cart she rescued from the side of the road and turned into a backyard wheelbarrow. 

We also discuss the absolute nightmare of public restroom etiquette. Why do people insist on picking the exact stall right next to you when the rest of the bathroom is completely empty? Albert shares a 20-year-old biology class germ experiment proving why the first stall is actually the cleanest, and we issue a public service announcement pleading with the masses to please wash your hands after using the restroom.

Is your AI chatbot secretly a better friend than the real people in your life? This week, Sofia and Albert are back with a brand-new episode of We’re Doing It, and they brought along a very special guest: their long-time friend, 6th-grade classroom alum, and veteran, Victoria!

Following up on last week's massive wave of listener DMs confirming that absolutely nobody has adult friends right now, the crew tackles the modern loneliness epidemic and the terrifying rise of AI relationships. Sofia gets brutally honest about her own premium $20/month subscription breakup with ChatGPT after an algorithm update left her feeling judged, leading her straight into the arms of Google Gemini.

We pull back the curtain on how AI is actively infiltrating and cheapening our local infrastructure, marketing, and art, including a hilarious breakdown of a local multi-million-dollar livestock show using a botched AI Longhorn billboard, and a nightmare story about an ex-boss who strictly banned AI while secretly using it for every single email. Plus, we share a truly bizarre story about a 1 AM airport Uber ride that featured AI-generated BDSM music. 

To wrap it all up, we dive into a jaw-dropping Reddit thread about a woman whose deep emotional relationship with an AI chatbot forces her fiancé to permanently call off their real-life wedding.

Are we losing our actual human capacity to communicate, or is a robotic moral compass exactly what we deserve? Grab your recycled coffee cups and tune in to find out!

Are we the dream besties we think we are, or are we actually the problem? 🫣 In Part 2 of our adult friendship episodes, we are turning the mirror on ourselves! We dive into our own "sus" friendship habits, from Albert’s ADHD brain replies that never actually get sent to whether Sofia is secretly hogging the conversation in group settings.

Plus, we read an absolutely wild, unhinged Reddit story about a "friend" who accused someone of stealing her boyfriend... except the boyfriend had literally zero clue they were even dating. It’s giving major Baby Reindeer vibes.

Stick around until the end to find out why we’re sleeping butt-to-butt tonight. We swear we actually like each other!

Welcome back to We're Doing It! Today we are tackling a topic we all thought we’d be done with by high school graduation: friendship breakups, adult drama, and the absolute minefield of making new connections as grown-ups.

From getting inexplicably ghosted by long-time couple friends to navigating boundary-crossing coworkers who wait in your room before the work day starts, Sofia and Albert lay it all out. If you’ve ever looked at your circle and realized you might actually have zero close friends to call when you’re sad, this episode is your support group.

Pull up a chair, fill out the Google Form in our show notes to apply to be Albert's new friend, and let’s get into it!

Episode Markers:

• (00:01:10) Albert shares the raw, hurtful details of his recent major friendship breakup and getting completely ghosted after years of family hangs. 
• (00:06:45) The accidental "butt-dial" from the ex-best friend that felt like a covert, back-alley reunion behind his wife's back. 
• (00:11:45) How many actual friends do we have? Sofia breaks down the difference between the 50 people you'd grab a casual coffee with and the people you call in a crisis. 
• (00:15:35) Can married men and women actually be platonic friends, or are we just setting up boundaries to avoid total chaos? 
• (00:19:15) Albert explains why his ideal "bro-date" doesn't involve sitting in front of a TV at a bar for five hours, and why going deep right away scares other men off. 
• (00:27:10) The nightmare of the "trauma dump" and why Sofia finally started asking for emotional consent before sharing heavy chisme. 
• (00:33:15) Albert sets strict boundaries with a high school friend who only wants to hang out on his own terms and at his own schedule. 
• (00:42:30) Sofia's Realization: The exact moment Sofia stops, corrects herself, and realizes her definition of friends might be too harsh: "Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm like, no, I have several friends who have, I think, accepted the weird parts about me." 
• (00:50:00) Unintentional divides: Why hanging out with friends who don't have kids becomes a logistical nightmare of scheduling and lofty vacation plans. 
• (00:53:00) Reddit Story 1: Is it selfish to expect your friends to care for you the exact way you care for them? 
• (01:00:00) Reddit Story 2: A 24-year-old guy loses his mind over a female friend ghosting him, but we're pretty sure he's an unreliable narrator. 
• (01:05:10) The passionate, short-lived saga of Albert's weird, conniving work clinger who asked him to falsify teaching hours and refused to leave his classroom.

Every morning starts the exact same way: "Good morning, Sofia. Today you are poor, and that's okay."

This week, we are stripping away the filters and talking about the absolute reality of going through a financial crisis of poverty together. After Sofia's second corporate-bankruptcy layoff in a year (looking at you, Dr. Phil for the first time around) and Albert's career pivot resulting in a reverse-flex pay cut, we are officially in survival mode. 

We dive into:

• Psyching Out Your Brain: Why we are currently rewashing old Dutch Bros and 7 Brew cups to trick ourselves into thinking we have expendable coffee income. 
• The Hunger Games of Job Hunting: Sofia's unhinged experience navigating a soul-crushing, 5-stage interview process that ended in a cold, automated rejection. 
• The Paleta Stand-Off: Why buying a single coconut-lime popsicle can lead to a legitimate marital crisis when you're rationing funds. 
• Dopamine Feeds: Facing the seething 10-second jealousy of watching everyone else vacation in Spain and Japan on social media, while we cope by secretly streaming toothless chihuahua and dancing raccoon videos. 

At the end of the day, a $500 credit card limit keeps us humble, but sacrifice keeps us together. Grab a recycled cup of home-brewed coffee and welcome to the trenches. We’re doing it!

What happens when an intense, calendar-obsessed household manager is married to a chaotic, defensive ADHD creative? Welcome to the relaunch of We’re Doing It, where we air out 12 years of dirty laundry, bicker on mic, and blind-react to each other’s deepest marital grievances.

In this pilot episode, Sofia roasts Albert for "ADHD Confabulation" (vividly making up memories of conversations that only happened in his head), leaving his wire collections and half-folded laundry across the house, and running a non-stop excuse machine. Albert immediately retaliates by auditing Sophia's massive double standards ("Rules for thee, but not for me") and calling her out on the real leftover graveyard rotting in their fridge.

Can a marriage survive strep throat drama, a 12-year-old ticket stub mystery, and a 9:30 PM matcha-and-cake session? Tune in to find out why we haven't secretly killed each other yet.

TIMESTAMPS:

• 00:00 – The Relaunch, Half-Folded Laundry, & Living with ADHD
• 05:14 – 9:30 PM Matcha and Cake (The Real Trend)
