Masiel taps into her own life and current events around her to make light of situations and maintain some sort of connection to the outside world during lock down in Chicago.

To finish off the episode, she includes "Artist's Corner" which showcases her own pieces and that of the listeners.

Masiel dives into cancel culture and the 45th being the perfect example of it.

Reflection on a beautiful soul recently lost, Chadwick Boseman and the anniversary of a phenomenal woman gone...Masi's mother. Artist's corner is an untitled piece from a train ride last year. Rest in Paradise Masi's mami!
A five week long hiatus led to Masiel's confusion as she reached a fork in the road. A new drink needs some watering down, but that's not the only thing as Masiel unloads on unspoken annoyances. Alyssa marks another "Shit Masiel Says" segment with random reactions to make silly things downright stupid!

A hilarious new segment brought to you by Alyssa called "Shit Masiel says". Artist corner: Alyssa reads some drunk poems for us to giggle.

After returning from Florida, Masiel reflects on the sad truth of the history of police brutality and racism just after her fear of it was discussed in the previous episode. The names of victims (nowhere near as many as there really are) were spoken.
Masiel dishes on her first few weeks in Chicago which sounds like something out of a gay novela. A Tampa Bay native, she touches on the Florida man and woman antics that made the news again. Artist's Corner includes a piece sent in by Chicago native Lyriq.
Masiel calls out a friend for her misuse of the term "getting old" while in the company of older people, discusses the funky freshness that is GLITTENS, shares news of her home (Florida), and finds she has to switch to the dark side eeeek!

Masiel reflects on the excitement and process of recording and publishing episode 1. Her domino effect leads down a path of failed weed experiences, positive growth, not giving a shit in her 30s and the struggle of taking your camera film roll to be developed. Some scripted and some way off topic ramblings and an awesome ending to a relevant thought with a spoken word piece called "Happy Accident" by the host herself.
In the first minisode, Masiel admits to being a novice to podding while being unable to fight the urge to share with the masses. She speaks on her experiences and silly opinions while touching on the lack of smog in LA since the pandemic quarantine, the amount of porn usage and closes out with Artist's Corner which showcases one of her spoken word pieces.
