Show notes

It’s almost 2019! As Kathleen and Bethany wind down the year, Bethany has tips for her fellow introverts on how to actually enjoy parties, not just survive them! The women also look back on 2018 and discuss the podcast’s highs and lows as well as the lessons they both learned this year. Then Kathleen shames Bethany. (It’s ok, Bethany needed to hear this.) You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll maybe get Taken. Who could ask for more?

S1 Ep146: You’re Smart, But I’m Drunk Dec 06, 2018

Show notes

Note: There are some audio issues in this episode thanks to a haunted laptop, so we apologize in advance! We’re performing an exorcism as we speak So? Where’d ya get stuck? Not emotionally but, like, physically stuck? The ladies talk to #TasteBud Caitlin about that time she got stuck on a Ferris wheel during a lightning storm. We also learn that when you’re curled up in a baptismal font, pay attention to the thing tickling your arms. Plus, we asked and you delivered! A surprising number of you have “the ice skate ran over a body part” stories, and we dig into some more of your voice memos about your holiday plans! It’s a busy week, TasteBuds, so make sure your neck is covered...
