gem and jolie bonded over a shared love of unsolicited info-dumping on everything from the news to their latest random internet deep dives. over the years, they recommended podcasts to each other and soon the idea of starting a podcast became a common point of conversation.
they have vastly different research styles, personalities, and quirks that make them a fun duo. there are no off-limit topics, no jokes too crass or weird, and they are comfortable enough with each other and themselves to be real…even when real is ugly.
love letters, hate mail, diary entries, ghost stories … we want it all.

gem is the kind of person who googles the type of sandwich she is eating. “Cottage cheese and tomato toast” is currently in her search history. Needless to say, she is a fantastic party guest. She finds joy in the little things, like when people zoom past her for “driving too slow” only to be stopped at the same light up ahead. Grocery shopping is in her top 10 favorite things to do. She’s usually spaced out, but when she isn’t you can find her binge watching 90 day fiancé or lusting over donuts.
peach haribo, burgers, arts and crafts, & funny typos.
when people write “just breath” trying to sound insightful but they actually sound stupid because it’s breathE, cream cheese in sushi

jolie has had an obsessive approach to research since she was old enough to read. recently diagnosed with add, a learning disorder commonly thought to mean you couldn’t focus on anything, she learned that her hyper-focus on topics of interest is a dead-giveaway for the disorder. while she can’t pay attention to someone talking about things that bore her, she cannot step away from things that make her brain light up even if it means other necessities are neglected (who needs water, anyway).
sushi, all animals ever (even the ones that look scary or gross), and every art-form.
people standing too close to you in queues, loud chewing, sexist jokes, and arrogance.
