We swing into a conversation about Jungle Asians and Fancy Asians. Is it ok to call someone by either term? Then we take a stroll to remember 2 of Harjot's worst dates of 2022. Where are the churros, Simon?
We dive into the secretive and surprisingly controversial glitter industry. Is there a shortage? And where is it all going? Then we roll up our sleeves and defend BIPOC creators in the comments section. Harjot has time for this!
We slang our big dick energy all over Episode 3. First Harjot shares another funny personal story from his past, when office chitchat over coffee turned too hot to handle. Then we discuss gross Dane Cook's predatory games night and other disgusting celebrity groomers.
We discuss the companies considering pawrental/meowternity leave policies for their growing population of Millennial pet owner/fur parent employees. Then we tell stand up comedian Dave Chapelle to sit down because of his lazy transphobic comedy special.
We clean up the misogynist mess that is known as 'Strategic Incompetence', where partners (mainly cis men) pretend they lack the know-how to perform traditionally women tasks (cleaning, cooking, childcare). And then we discuss 'LulaRich', the Amazon Prime documentary that exposes the multi-level marketing company LulaRoe and their cult-like practices and problematic teachings.
We pull out a seat and take them as we LEARNT from Silky Nutmeg Ganache's (@silkyganache) discussion about RuPaul and Todrick Hall's POV as QPOC expressing themselves in the queer community. Then we talk about the 'soaking' loophole that religious youth are using to avoid the sin of premarital sex.

We pull out our teen diaries to gossip and compare our pubescent dreams and ambitions. Then we discuss how people of colour and children of immigrants can experience grief, and the racial and cultural gap in bereavement policies.

We stay off-cam to discuss the expectations and impact of going on-camera during work meetings. Then we talk about two problematic/controversial figures who claim to have 'transitioned' races.
We get into the back-to-school spirit and remember our favourite teachers from our childhood, and have storytime about a past chance to be on Sesame Street. Then, we discuss problematic wellness/spiritual influencers who are spreading misinformation about covid and the vaccine.
We re-live the rise and fall of early 2000s iconic MySpace/AsianAvenue social media celebrity, Tila Tequila. Then, we discuss the origin and discourse around the term 'cheugy', and its problematic connection to misogyny.

We celebrate the new genre of children's television that embraces trans stories, then visit a memory of awkward teen regret and romance.
We're back for Season 5 to share relationship advice for staying together by keeping things very separate. And we plan the logistics of running away during a Millennial midlife crisis.
We examine bias when choosing healthcare providers, and take a stroll down Sherway Gardens to reminisce about a cardigan-clad, customer service crush.
