Everybody Ships Us

Shelley’s mom’s cat Sméagol is here and boy, is she intent on being heard on the podcast! Shelley gives an update on how petsitting for this prankster cat is going, Bonnie wonders why humans haven’t “evolutioned out” our need to drink water, and both of our hosts talk in too much detail about a Target trip they took earlier that day. Plus, Bonnie and Shelley take a MySpace-style survey in the latest FOMAEOTQAPT segment, thanks to 92 Moose, Central Maine’s #1 Hit Music Station! Our hosts reveal their high school Top 8, decade whether they’d take back an ex, and talk about times in their life when they’ve grieved a loss - whether that be a friendship breakup, loss of a pet, or family death.

Breaking news! The famed yellow chair of all episodes past has broken, so it has become Floor Chair - and thus, a theory about socioeconomic status and furniture height develops. And honestly, Shelley and Bonnie are pretty convinced it holds water. Neighbor Bailey gets a new title, Assistern Bailey, as she steps in and helps our hosts in a spinoff segment called 4 Minute Life Update! Shelley, Bonnie, and Bri have joined a cult, Bonnie has noun aphasia, and Shelley hatches plans to have a water slide at her funeral. Also, our hosts find out how they handle a crisis, pledge to take less shit in all areas of their life, and worry about BTS members joining the military.

We’re back, baby! The voyage continues as Bonnie and Shelley deepen their relationship with a little catch-up, a little mind meld, and then a little new segment to get the new year starting right! Our hosts dream up new spin-off podcasts, rename all four seasons, and get really vulnerable… about the contents of each of their ear canals, that is. Shelley brings up some fashion grievances, and ESU’s newest segment, Icebreaker Questions, gets a killer new theme song from Bonnie (which is definitely not familiar at all and won’t get us sued by the biggest band of all time)! “Be the bitch you want to see in the world” - and enjoy listening to this new episode of Everybody Ships Us!

The last couple of dates have been quite vulnerable, so on today’s episode, our hosts dig into chaotic idiocy! The new year is fast approaching, so in the spirit of reinvention, Shelley and Bonnie take a career aptitude test in a FOMAEOTQAPT segment to see what jobs they’d have in another life! Find out why they want to go through firefighter training, why they don’t want to teach kids anymore, and what they’d sound like as auctioneers. Plus, Bonnie butchers the plot to more movies, Shelley confesses that they’ve never been to a spa, and both of them have questions for people with a foot fetish. Plus, they discuss their favorite holiday things and play a “fruit rules” version of listing their top 5 favorite Christmas movies. It’s an episode that’ll keep you laughing and warm as you finish out the year! Happy holidays from the whole Everybody Ships Us crew! - Bonnie, Shelley, Assistern Bri, and Jeremy xoxo Play along with us and take the career aptitude test here: https://www.123test.com/career-test/ Make sure you’re subscribed to Everybody Ships Us so you don’t miss an episode!

Which host really loves the sound of the “empty trash” on a Mac computer? Plus, our hosts talk about how the impossible beauty standard for women has hurt them both, their shared desire to date someone “gayer,” their eerily accurate fast-food metaphor for dating, and many of specifically Bonnie’s favorite things.

Marley Balin (she/her) is back to play a hilarious few rounds of the Red Flags Game! And this time, we mashed it together with Bang, Marry, Kill to create a truly chaotic game that you can play along with while you listen.

Marley Balin (she/her) is an undergraduate student studying speech-language pathology and joins Bonnie and Shelley for a hilarious chat in the living room. Marley, a twin born on Christmas Eve who is in a band with her fiancé, tries to say she’s not that interesting, which our hosts find absolutely riotous. In this episode, Marley shares her 4 Minute Life Story, discusses the sexiness of coffee vs. tea, and teaches Shelley and Bonnie about vocal fry, the subject of her thesis project (and points out just how often they use it)! And perhaps most importantly, Marley pulls back the curtain on what it was really like growing up with Bonnie (did we mention she’s Bonnie’s cousin?).

Shelley and Bonnie are back on their bullshit, looking up pictures of Carrot Top, discovering their friendship colors, and reacting to their first magazine feature. Our new favorite segment, FOMAEOTQAPT, returns with a bang, as our hosts take a personality quiz that Bonnie invented and wrote down in her middle school diary. And both Shelley and Bonnie develop an unrequited crush on a certain 18th century composer who has an affinity for dangling people out of windows… it’s the debut of Buff Daddy Handel, y’all!

*Content warning: this episode discusses gun violence, as one of us has a personal connection to a mass shooting that happened on May 15, 2022. Listeners should proceed at their own discretion from 00:27:08 til the end of the episode. Shelley and Bonnie give some important updates in this episode, like how their first trip together to Utah went, how “party” the party house actually was, and how they just might believe in love after witnessing such a gorgeous wedding. (Congrats again, Jacob and Anatasha!) Then, the conversation turns serious, as our hosts discuss a recent event of gun violence that happened in their community, at Bonnie’s home church. Shelley encourages her best friend to take up space and process in her own time, and Bonnie does. It’s truly a moment of Friendship In Action. And finally, a surprise appearance from a much-beloved and oft-mentioned special guest is the perfect way to close out this date. Email everybodyshipsus@gmail.com to send us mail with Jeremy!

Shelley and Bonnie have a mission in this episode: actually only talk for an hour this time, and take no extra time for tangents! Will they make it? (Spoiler: … nope. But they got close!)

Bonnie talks about her experience assistant teaching a Viewpoints workshop, and Shelley recounts her time almost getting scammed in Las Vegas before a BTS concert.

You asked… we answered!

Shelley and Bonnie really tried to make this date quick, but - as always - it did not go according to plan. Instead, our hosts explore tangent after tangent, telling the story of what happened at Ami’s 2-on-1 birthday wine tasting trip, discussing mail anxiety, and pulling up a pee color chart to make sure Shelley’s not dying. Next, Bonnie and Shelley take a relationship quiz to find out how well they know each other, and even squeeze in their entire life stories… in 4 minutes each!

First of all, definitely let your kids listen to this episode, because Shelley and Bonnie are dishing out GREAT advice for everyone! Our hosts find out their astrological compatibility in a new segment - very appropriately called “Finding Out More About Each Other Through Quizzes and Personality Tests” (really rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?), update each other on how they did on Alexandra Billings’ challenger all those weeks ago, and discover some really troubling information about the true power of WiFi… enjoy!

On the menu for today: Shelley has been having soup every day for a month, Bonnie definitely knows what bird legs are called, and both consider what reality dating show they’d be cast on. After creating new Doritos flavors and discussing being each other’s emergency contact, our hosts tackle a particularly tender question in their “36 Questions That Lead To Love” segment. Plus, we get an update on Bonnie’s challenger to cook a meal for herself and Shelley’s challenger to spend time with another friend! And, lastly, as Shelley will tell you, the soup of the day is… more soup. Everything is soup. Soup soup soup soup, soup soup: soup. Email everybodyshipsus@gmail.com to send us mail with Jeremy!

This living room date conversation runs the gamut of topics - why hands are hot, “The Godfather” quotes, how to play the bagpipes, and for what in their lives Shelley and Bonnie are most grateful. In addition to playing a hilarious new game called the Whisper Challenge, our hosts follow a theoretical tangent about what crimes they would commit if they had a day like the movie The Purge. Spoiler alert - Brad Pitt is heavily involved… as are French accents. (We send our sincerest apologies to all French-speaking countries.)

Finally, she gives us ALL (yes, even Assistern Bri) a very generous challenger to complete… find out next week if we’re able to make it happen!
