Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:00:00 -0400

In Episode 9 we welcome special guest Teacher Rob back to the pod for a slanguage lesson. We highlight a major pop culture moment that unfolded before our eyes last week and we find out what hot commodity Becca used to trade in the school parking lot.

We’re the Christy Gang – let’s hang!

Show notes & links:

The new long Bluey episode dropped last week and that extra 20 minutes just hits different. Am I right?

****

The Tortured Poets Department is out and bringing all the controversy. Have you listened?

****

Teacher Rob educates us on slanguage from his class. Don’t be a try-hard and use them all at once though. Just slowly add them into your everyday verbiage and it’ll all be Gucci.

****

Collections of our Lives: Rob shares about some of his favorite collections including baseball cards, wrestlers & glamor shot photos of girlfriend’s past.

Becca tells us about her major Lisa Frank sticker collection, excessive frog memorabilia and her coveted Hanson binder.

Has anyone else every wondered: when does Ryan Seacrest sleep?

We discuss our total eclipse of the heart solar eclipse experiences. Please tell me someone else has seen that youth group drama???

Rob & Becca both had flat tires this week and we try to get to the bottom of if someone is secretly angry at us and slashing our tires. Is it you?
