In this hilarious (and deeply emotional) episode, we talk about changing friendships - who better than a few friends that live in different places! We are joined by our dearest comrade Soraiya as we explore friendship dealbreakers, the aftermath of involuntary vacationing, and times when you aren't that kind of gay.

It may not be Halloween -- but it's still spooky season (beat it, Thanksgiving). We are joined by returning guest and dear friend Feather (!!!) as we follow the spook-tacular rabbit hole of the Halloween season with three special stories. Consult your second clairvoyant before listening and prepare to be ghosted (lol ew).

In our 30th episode we tackle our hometowns, from the very special water towers to the creepy museum's storing human tissue. Join us as we go home and then quickly disown it -- like as if we won't be back there when we are forty, raising children and loving every moment of it.

This week we revisit our glory sides to discuss how awkward we truly are in party settings. Korby will sweat and Maddie will hide, not sure which is worse, but one definitely is more obvious than the other! Get out of your headspace and start chatting with your party locals like Miranda and normal Bill.

The distance between us won't keep us from chatting! This week's episode is about life transitions, which is perfect timing because we both just made huge ones. Tune in to ignore your own life decisions for the next hour!

We've done it, we have laid Mildly Awkward to rest with a final lap including those topics that never made the cut such things as sex, larping, and avocado toast. Don't worry, closing this door will open a new one (next week).

This extra special treat is too good to pass up. We dive DEEP into some conspiracies theories and the reality that YES it's all real and nothing can change the fact the government is involved in some mega crazy experiment to keep us -- oops...
