Join us as we laugh at our own jokes, talk relationships and online dating, psychoanalyze Jersey Shore and Tiger King, judge everyone, and go off on tangents about things that we find hilarious. We're relatable, funny, and clearly super humble. If that sounds like you, or even if it doesn't, this is for you (mainly because we need listeners). Look out for a new episode every Sunday!
Join the Roommates for their tenth and final episode for Season 1! In this episode they share all their favorites: books, music, and TV shows (because narcissism is real). Whether you want to or not, you'll dive headfirst into the nerdom of fantasy books, “Hamilton”, “Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist”, as well as a million and one music recommendations you'll want to write down and download as soon as the episode ends. (Insert sponsorship here one day when the podcast gets sponsored- shout out to Chance the Rapper and Spotify- hit us up!). Then, back by popular demand is the segment "This or That" where you have to choose between two ridiculous extremes: A partner who is a nudist or a never-nude? Death by mutant honey badger or giant snake? Unibrow or soul patch? All the age-old quandaries debated right before your ears. As always, don't forget to stick around for the bloopers at the end, and keep an eye out for Season 2, coming soon to a couch near you.
This week on Forever Roommates, Gretchen and Shoby share about their faith, what it means to them, what it looks like in everyday life, and some of their struggles along the way. Then, join them for the segment called "Psychoanalyze This", where they unnecessarily delve into the characters from "Never Have I Ever" and "Sex and the City" using the DISC personality assessment because what else should one do with their free time?
Join the Roommates this week as they talk about goals and what it takes to pursue them despite naysayers, self-doubt, and anything else that might try and get in the way. You'll also learn about their personal dreams involving pet chickens, marathons, and more! Then, they do a Trivia segment where you can play along as you listen, and as always, things get out of hand. Don't forget to stick around for the bloopers at the end!
The ROOMMATES ARE BACK!!! Join them on this week's episode for the silly self-care break you've been needing! The roommates discuss how to travel on a budget, realize they are cautionary tales when it comes to traveling (and most things in life), and come to the stunning conclusion that Shoby may be a serial killer. Then, stick around for their new segment called "Full of It," where one roommate asks "How To" advice, and the other responds, regardless of whether they actually know how to complete the task or not. As always, don't forget to look out for the bloopers at the end!
Join the roommates this week as they discuss body image: the good, the "bad", and the personal work it takes to realize it's ALL good! Then, they do another segment called "Smush, Marry, Kill," where they share their thoughts on the cast of Jersey Shore, Friends, the Avengers, and more. As always, they promise to laugh hard enough at their own jokes that it makes you laugh, too. You won't want to miss this one! As per usual, stay tuned for the bloopers at the end of every episode!
Join the roommates as they talk about everything related to friendship: When do you make it "official" and go from acquaintances to friends? How does your personality type affect what you need in a friendship? What do you do when a friend asks for your advice and then doesn't listen to it? How do you set boundaries in a friendship? And of course, some sage advice around why you need to treat Gretchen and Shoby like Furbies and Tamagotchis if you want to be their friend. Then the roommates try out their most random segment yet called "Flight of Ideas"; an interesting take on a “word-association” game. As always, listen for the bloopers at the end of each episode!
This week the roommates discuss all things education- from getting kicked out of Bible college (yes, you read that correctly), to cultural expectations around education, to still pursuing degrees in their thirties even though neither of them enjoys school. Then they introduce a new segment called "Who Does It Better", where they argue over deep philosophical issues like which roommate is the most awkward? Who's better at hand-to-hand combat? How about twerking? And ultimately, find out why they have donned the names "Blub of Chub" and "Hunchback" for themselves. As always, stick around for the bloopers at the end of every episode!
Join the roommates as they discuss their careers from mental health to music to modeling, how their faith led them to where they are, and what their insecurities and challenges have been along the way. Then, as always, end with some ridiculousness in the segment "This or That", where you have to choose between two nonsensical extremes. A man with no teeth or a man with two rows of teeth? Ariel or any other Disney princess ever because she sucks and Mulan is a queen? And so much more!
In this week's episode, we're in quarantine, discussing the finer things in life: Tiger King. Are you a Carole Baskins or a Joe Exotic? If you were to kill your husband by tiger, how would you do it? Then we get into our segment called Psychoanalyze This, where we nerd out on the DISC personality assessment and of course, the personality types of the characters on Tiger King.
Welcome to Forever Roommates with Gretchen and Shoby! In this first episode, you'll get to know us as we delve into society's most pressing questions: What are people really saying in Gretchen's online dating apps? Now that we've heard what they had to say, do we wish we could unhear it? How do you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10? Would you spy and betray your own country for a luxurious life? Who is more attractive, you or Idris Elba? Would you trade your friend for $10 million?
