TikTok Is Giving Us ADHD Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

Helloo Cousins!!

Sorry for the late upload this week 🙇🏾‍♀️ In this week's episode of the pod, we started off with talking about all the different words we pronounce *differently* thanks to our parents😅. Then we spoke about whether the rise of IG Reels, TikTok videos and YouTube Shorts have ruined our attention span and how that'll impact our ability to focus at school/work. Next we spoke about how we're turning 30 this year and kind of just wanted to check in on all the millennials out there...are y'all alright? We've spent our last few years of our 20s in a global pandemic...I think we can all agree that we might need a giant hug or something😮‍💨. We then transitioned into advice we'd give our younger selves and it got a little deep only for us to end it off on a lighter note with another one of Amir's awkward social interactions lol.

That's Not My Responsibility Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

We've got a brand new episode for yall this week! We spoke about the COVID mandates FINALLY starting to ease up in Canada and our thoughts about keeping the masks indefinitely -- what do you guys think about having to wear masks all the time? We also spoke about the Freedom Convoy and broke down what the protests were reeeally about...

Joe Rogan is facing some backlash...again and of course we spoke about it lol. Amir brings up the fact that he says "mmhmm" wayyyy too much and how he ties that to his active listening. We also spoke about our anxiety surrounding meeting new people and being in new environments (thanks COVID).

Lastly we spoke about the evolution of social media (anyone remember the tumblr days??).

Anxiety in the DMs & Hacking Brains Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

In this week's episode, we spoke about a bunch of random things (what else is new...) starting off with the origins of the acronym 'BTS' and the East African obsession with Korean pop culture (music, movies and TV). Amir then went on to discuss the ritual of men cutting their hair (mostly to cover up the fact that he jacked up his own 😅). We also discussed Amir's anxiety when answering messages and the extreme lengths he goes to just to avoid saying "who's this?". We also spoke about the future for metaverse and the possibility of having chips inserted into our brains 😐 lastly...we discussed the ever so controversial topic of iPhone vs Android and the war between blue and green message bubbles lol.
