4+ y ago1:05:20

1:05:20

It was a tough decision on how to move forward today - we are a white-centered podcast by virtue of having two white hosts. However, we have always been a podcast that has been trying to move our communities forward in social justice and so today we're trying to do our part in that. This is a surface level introduction to understanding white suprem…

1:01:57

In this EPIC conclusion to our EPIC two episode arc premiering this EPIC season, these two pals just keep talking like they always do. Annie’s rate of crying is at least THREE TIMES BIGGER than last week’s episode. In fact she just snuffles her way through this whole episode, but she also turns a lot of corners in her ability to stand up for hersel…

Maddie and her therapist get creative with their vulnerability exercises which results in a Grilled Cheese from the Great Beyond.

1:05:03

A cultural inquiry into the patriarchal structures that perpetuate the most disastrous of all romantic scenarios, aka The Lesbian Standoff.

It all started with…

5y ago1:00:45

1:00:45

Annie and Maddie stumble over their words in an obvious come down from the high of last week’s special guest, Miranda. It’s Maddie’s 27th birthday and we’re doing everything we can to show her how much we love her, including writing her a 5,000 word essay about how much we love her. We talk about friendship and unconditional love, and Annie’s face …

4.5 Such a Miranda 1:04:30

5y ago1:04:30

1:04:30

And then I thought to myself, what if gender is a construct? What if sex is just something the medical community is trying to hold up on a pedestal and force on people at birth? What if this saga in the West Village should be called Gender Identity and the City? What if that’s enough? Annie Krabbshaw and Samaddie Jones check in with their friend Mi…

…who shamelessly plugs herself at every opportunity, but is having a hard time getting a word in because her best friend can’t stop talking about a breakup that happened a whole four WEEKS ago.

…who cried a river and recorded it for a wide audience. Our wonderful friend Maddie is still reeling in the aftermath of her breakup but she still finds a way to find gratitude, experience joy, and alienate all of our listeners by calling them homophobic (find out what you can do to convince her otherwise!). She’s doing so great, and is showering a…

4.2 The Big One 1:03:57

5y ago1:03:57

1:03:57

You’re used to hearing Annie ruminate on the women that done her wrong, but you, we, the world, are simply not prepared for the end of Maddie’s partnership. Annie and Maddie convene in California on the Krabbenschmidt sectional, exactly the same place where Maddie found Annie, crying over HER first heartbreak just 4 years ago. This is a whole new w…

4.1 Broken Record 46:04

5y ago46:04

46:04

Well, friends, Annie and Maddie are back to their usual antics. If it sounds like you’ve heard this episode before, it’s probably because life is a series of stops and starts, and we’re only in our twenties and we have no idea how to be functional humans. Maddie is back from the tour of a lifetime, and Annie is back from her brief time as a normal …

5+ y ago1:05:28

1:05:28

We end this season almost exactly as we began - talking tours and break ups. Maddie is set to embark on another month long journey opening for KT Tunstall, and she only has a mild case of neurotic fatalism. Meanwhile, Annie is FINE with her break up(s). She’s right back where she’s most comfortable - alone and proud. After starting this season with…

1:02:00

Maddie and Annie essentially went viral this week when a young listener shouted out LSF at the Los Angeles Book Fair. The dynamic duo is slowly making a dent on closing that estimated listeners gap that falls anywhere between 8 and 4000. Maddie finishes the music video to end all music videos that will bring any polly pocket pop lover to tears. Ann…

3.13 The TV Killed the Radio Star's Ego 1:05:55

5+ y ago1:05:55

1:05:55

Doing! Maddie tries to flex her softball muscles during a music video shoot and it looks like all those years of watching Dottie “Queen of Diamonds” Hinson did nothing for her. While baseball stardom is not something that lives inside Maddie, the inevitable future in which she is a professional musician is. I swear it’s not just Annie’s mom goggles…

3.12 Brave & Interesting 1:02:29

1:02:29

It’s April Fool’s and life is a sick prank. Annie suffers some setbacks in her personal life, but in this episode she shows some of the most inspiring vulnerability I’ve ever witnessed, making me prouder than ever to know her. I (Maddie - hi guys, it’s me!) respond eloquently by using the two most back-handed and offensive adjectives one can use to…

1:01:18

If you love Mother Blobbin you’ll love our special guest this week, Mother Blobbin. Robin earned this nickname for all the times she took young people under her wing. Whether she was forcing freshmen to go out and binge drink, or bringing them fast food and vomit receptacles the next morning, or, you know, driving around Durham with Annie for 6 hou…

Maddie tests out “The Bumble” and wants to know why anyone would want to peruse the “bottom feeders” that use apps. The distance between Annie and Maddie ensures that Annie won’t smack Maddie in the head for her ignorance on swiping left and right. Even though Maddie is happy in her relationship of five years (she has a girlfriend, a second girlfri…

3.9 Eleven Inches 1:02:55

1:02:55

Sorry dudes, we’re two ladies who are prepared to cut the length out of our lives. Maddie hates when her friends make reckless styling decisions, and now she’s disappointed in her favorite friend of all: herself. Panic sets in as she gets eleven inches of her hair chopped off, and she does her first ever mirror monologue asking herself “Am I Ugly?”…

3.8 Couple's Trip 2020 54:14

While the political landscape is uncertain in 2020, one thing that Maddie is betting all her money on is a couple’s vacation next winter. Never mind that it’s only been one date. Let’s hope that Maddie’s enthusiasm doesn’t scare any of Annie’s potential love interests away! Kamala may be running, but so is every girl that Annie brings home to Maddi…

I heard her hair is insured to be fabulous by a wonderful greek orthodox hairdresser in Los Angeles. This week, Maddie grapples with ordering people around a photoshoot, Scheck throws a fit because she thought her girlfriend was going to look more like Regina George, and Annie silently munches on cacio e pepe to watch the drama unfold. You know wha…

3.6 An LSF Joint 1:04:15

5+ y ago1:04:15

1:04:15

“Listen to your instincts,” our acting teachers tell us. “Walk around like a dinosaur, airplane that frat boy, ask the hip hemp lady about how to smoke a jizzy joint.” Don’t do any of that (especially not that last thing - it’s called a doob, Michael). Defund the arts. Burn it all down with your bright blue Bic lighter. Annie dives into a classic 4…

3.4 Let a Little Air in 1:00:19

6y ago1:00:19

1:00:19

Sometimes, after spending what feels like an eternity contorting yourself into uncomfortable positions and poses, it’s important to find a way to let a little air in, and then slowly let it out. Let us listen for the collective out breath. I am of course talking about the important psychological work it takes to reflect on the internalized homophob…

3.3 No One Gets Lucky 1:02:39

6y ago1:02:39

1:02:39

Because Lucky is dead and he couldn’t see it coming. Meanwhile, Annie’s love life is still tbd. Maddie needs some convincing to get back in therapy, but I’d like to make the case that paying eleven dollars for an eight ounce cup of matcha is a sign of psychosis. In her own fit of nervousness, Annie is up all night to get some new insight into her a…

3.2 The Sly, Slippery Slurper 1:03:26

6y ago1:03:26

1:03:26

This is the story of the sly slippery slurper, who one Sunday silently slurped her soda while staring sullenly at her - and I’m done with this ruse. Maddie really loves to slurp her coke, but she’s willing to try a different way in the company of good friends. On this episode we talk about Maddie’s upcoming album and Annie’s new life as a fully sel…

Sounds sophomoric, I know, but anything would be funnier than Annie's stand-up set this weekend. Maddie urges Annie to keep the artistic dream alive, even as Maddie, herself, allows her dream for a lucrative plant-sitting career to wilt and die. If this episode went a little over time, it's because Maddie has been living alone for the longest perio…

In times like this we remember a quintessential Mean Girls quote: "I don't hate you because you're fat; you're fat because I hate you." This podcast may have 600 followers now (based on unsophisticated data analysis), but Annie's convinced that no one likes her. Maddie makes Annie read aloud some really sad text messages about her cripplingly low s…
