Meara is a full-time Social Media Strategist based in New Orleans, pastel hair enthusiast, and arguably the band The Maine’s biggest fan.

Cassidy and Ayla open this week’s episode with the NBA, lusting over Zac Efron, Taylor Swift’s new album Folklore, and the MAJOR tea that is rocking Bachelor Nation this week. Then the girls dive into “cancel culture.” They discuss how they believe it got started, why the term may be problematic, and cancel culture before it was an actual term. They talk about the various people who have gotten “cancelled” or almost did and why - including Taylor Swift (and the Folklore merch copyright issues), J.K. Rowling, Ellen, Sherry Pie on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12, previous Bachelor contestants, The Chicks, etc. To close out the episode they list rapid fire (kind of) their favorite songs from each of Taylor Swift’s albums.

We discuss how their lives have altered, if they feel things have improved where they live, crazy mask wearing, schools opening, what they do to unwind, how we can all help and thank the frontline workers, and more.

They then get into the struggles of moving and how Cassidy’s trunk has almost killed her many times. Cassidy recounts some of her worst moving experiences which include yelling at a man at a gas station and accidentally shattering glass in multiple parking lots. They discuss how being a mover would be the job from hell, the seriousness of car tetris, and somehow Ayla didn’t know there was a weight limit to your checked bag on a flight?? They talk about different ways you can try to make friends when you move somewhere new because that sh*t is HARD as an adult.

Ayla has a Wine About It to start off the episode about how she accidentally sent all her contacts porn. The girls get into why it’s important to wear a mask, what you look like when you don’t wear one, and how they really feel for the service industry workers right now. Then they recall their service industry experiences and tell stories of annoying customers, embarrassing stories, and what made them quit certain jobs. Cassidy shares what to do and not do to make a server’s life easier, and the weird ways she has received tips. They debate whether retail or food service is worse, and discuss how some Disney guests act like they are entitled to everything. They play a round of Get It or Quit It - Service Industry Edition - including, non-slip sneakers, leaving your number on receipts, and telling the server “surprise me!” If you have worked in the service industry, chances are you’ll relate to this episode on a deep level.

As Ayla tries not to pass out from donating blood earlier, she and Cassidy discuss the announcement of Matt James as the 1st Black Bachelor, Walmart clothes, and the Twitter battle between Millennials and Gen Z. The girls then take a freaking TRIP down memory lane and talk about the absolute insanity that was high school as a shoutout to the class of 2020. Trust us, it gets better. Why do girls in high school now have good fashion sense when our generation looked absolutely nuts, were there even really “popular” kids, and where did we fit in? Cassidy gets heated about being forced to take classes like calculus and Ayla talks about what they were “taught” in her health class. Cassidy shares her anxiety issues that formed while on the soccer team and not feeling like she fit in, and Ayla tells her embarrassing story of how Caden asked her to homecoming in front of the whole school. They talk about their very different experiences with “dating” in high school and cringe-worthy first makeout sessions. All in all, it seems like they had a good time besides Cassidy’s class advisor trying to ruin their senior year for fun. This week the girls Wine About It on people giving their kids names that don’t sound how they are spelled. Cheers to the class of 2020 (and don’t worry, prom isn’t THAT fun).

The girls begin this week’s Caffeine Hangover with a reminder to listen to the last episode for a compiled list of resources you can use to help the Black Lives Matter movement, and that we must continue to take action together. They discuss the new Diversify the Bachelor campaign and why The Bachelor continues to be problematic. Cassidy shares a weird story from her week and then they dive into everything PETS. What do we think Pawter’s Enneagram is? Are we cat or dog people? Do our goldfish love us? Ayla shares a story about a pet tortoise. They give all of their opinions on pet Instagrams (and when they go too far) and pets with human names. Cassidy asks Ayla some Would You Rather questions about Pawter (peep him on our cover art, btw), then they play a game of Get It or Quit It - Pet Edition.

Ayla and Cassidy both have new backyard pets this week, and share the winner from last week’s Bitmoji making challenge. They wonder if flossing is self-care and talk about doing the worm at parties. Cassidy shares her homemade face mask recipe that she thinks works well and Ayla shares stories of homemade hair masks gone wrong. They consider whether baking is self-care or self-sabotage, and why they’re bad at meditation and savasana in yoga. The girls get into some weird self-care trends like butt masks, fish pedicures, and scream sessions. They debate whether online shopping is self-care, and realize the moral is they want to self-care like Sharpay but are cheap queens who self-care on a budget. Cassidy gets into the new book she is reading called The Fuck It Diet by Caroline Dooner, a book meant to heal your relationship with food and your body. They wonder if a self-care retreat can even be considered a vacation and play a round of Get It or Quit It - Self-Care Edition.

The girls then get into different at-home workout options available if you’re a gym person who is suddenly wondering what the heck to do with yourself, as well as makeshift equipment they use.

Cassidy starts the episode off by sharing her allergy medication screw up and the girls wonder why they keep going on runs even though they seem to hate it. They obsess over Fleabag and Cassidy freaks out when Ayla tells her one of the actors is in another show she likes. They get the topic of the week: The 5 Love Languages. They go through each love language and confirm that they are definitely not huggers. Cassidy and Ayla each share their quiz results and decipher how the love languages we receive love in most are not necessarily how we show love the most. They talk about how it can vary from significant others to friendships and how love languages can sometimes shift depending on your relationship. Ayla shares why acts of service can be tricky when you like to be in control and Cassidy shares the wrong way to react to a surprise from someone who shows love through gifts. They discuss when words of affirmation can become too much (yes, it’s possible), what quality time even is, and why physical touch can cause a lot of awkward moments.

They give the tea on Disney World proposals/honeymoons, and Ayla is still just confused about why people enjoy Disney so much. They go rapid fire through their Disney favorites and Ayla mediates a riveting game of Disney World would you rather (and presents a fabulous tattoo idea). Then, they play a round of Get It or Quit It - Disney Trends Edition. The girls then chat about which Disney characters they had the hots for growing up (and now, no shame).
