In a world of diminishing attention-span, Just The Tip* is a micro-sized podcast that entertains without holding you hostage. Join hosts Ishea and Mike each week for their often humorous, always millennial take on "the tip" of what is happening in culture, their lives co-habitating, being pet parent…
The 'Love is Blind 2' season finale is upon us and it's time for marriage predictions! In this episode we share which couples we think will make it down the aisle, the toxic folks that better say "I don't", and everyone's favorite season 2 villain Shaina (and some hot instagram gossip about her and Shayne).
In this episode, we meet the new batch of singles looking for love in the pods, early season 2 standouts, and discuss the latest life hacks we've learned on TikTok. We also get a little deep as Mike shares what it's like rehabbing his body from a work-related injury for the second time.
We're finally back and ushering in a new era–introducing Unread Podcast! New name, same us, shorter attention spans. Join us each week as we talk all things pop culture, reality tv, books we just can't seem to finish reading, and TikTok sounds keeping us warm at night.
The 3rd wave of COVID has hit and Seattle is entering another lockdown. On this week's episode we share the classy (The Queen's Gambit), but mainly trashy (Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, The Bachelorette) TV shows getting us through.
Mike and Ishea are on day 252 of quarantine. Yes, y'all heard that right... two hundred and fifty-two days of quarantine (and counting). In this episode, they share what it's been like being quarantined the past 8 months, their COVID wedding, the joy they felt hearing Trump lost the election, and the two reality shows they never thought they'd watch that ended up being the perfect escapism for election anxiety: The Great British Bakeoff and The Bachelorette. It's safe to say this year has been the ultra marathon none of us asked to run -- but there's a light at the end of the tunnel!
On this week's episode... Coronavirus is taking over the world (literally), so we're sharing how we're surviving each other, while surviving the world. We live in Seattle, which was ground zero for the US outbreak, so we've been feeling the effects of COVID-19 for a few weeks. While we feel fortunate to be able to WFH, we (like everyone else) are still adjusting to the new reality, which seems to be changing by the hour. We share how we're transitioning into indefinite WFH, the ways we're managing our different levels of stress and anxiety, and all the amazing content we've been binging!

Everyone is posting articles, tips and columns urging people to keep the peace this Thanksgiving and avoid topics like politics. We say fuck that - #RuinDinner. This is the time to hold your ignorant family members accountable when you hear them spewing nonsense. If you can't tell them something from a place of love, do you really think they'll ever listen to a stranger?

On this week's episode... Mike and I worked from home (WFH) and discovered who the more annoying co-worker really is, I learned why I need to protect my identity on Reddit and what doxxing actually is (and how I kinda, sorta doxed someone 10+ years ago), the latest vegan propaganda film we watched on Netflix and how it sparked us to make more diet changes, and we're FINALLY PLANNING OUR WEDDING (*in my Oprah voice)!

We're back!!!

On this week's episode we catch you up on our recent career changes, the top 3 series we're binge-watching, predictions for Netflix's Rhythm + Flow (the finale is Wed) and how Succession on HBO really did heal Mike's motion sickness! As always, be sure to like and subscribe... and thanks for listening!
On this week's episode, I made Mike watch Prince's 1984 cult classic film, Purple Rain. Turns out the movie didn't stand the test of time and was super problematic. We also talk our disappointment with Episode 4 of Game of Thrones (#Spoilers) and sing the praises of Papa Bueno Tequila's #CincoDeMayo party and "Seattle Margarita" fueled nights. (Hint Hint: Mike thought I was sick because I was in the bathroom for forever... turns out he didn't realize I was performing the entire first set of Beyonce's #Beychella performance #IBeenOn!!)
Bzzzzzz.... do you hear that? It's the sound of Mike being stung by the Bey Hive and becoming a self-proclaimed Beyonce fan!!! After watching Queen Bey's Netflix Documentary, Homecoming, multiple times, Mike finally admits that Beyonce is a Queen and worth all the hype. We also dive into Obesity in the US and practical ways to change your entire life and get your health of track. Did you know losing 7% of your total body weight is enough to change your life? Yes, really! Rounding out the episode, we discuss our experience listening to Stacey Abrams Town Hall Seattle talk... and Mike has a PSA for White Folks who came for us online re: Town Hall Seattle opening up 50 additional tickets for Black women to attend the event.
Y'all this week has been a doozy! I came home to find my car had been stolen TOWED BY MY NEIGHBOR (down the street) because I parked within 5 feet of their driveway. Yes, that's a real thing! In the city of Seattle you can't park within 5 feet of someone's driveway (or a curb). While the police don't normally ticket for this type of thing... especially in this crowded ass city... if a neighbor calls in a complaint then they will issue a violation. Basically, Petty with a capital P. So, yeah... $272 later, I have my car back, a court date, and advice from the Circuit Court of Seattle that I should "also call and get my neighbor's car towed" - which nearly makes my head spin! What else - Game of Thrones is back, so we bit the bullet and added it back to Hulu. Anyone else feel pained adding HBO for an extra $14.99/mo? Just us? Oh, okay lol... We also pose the question: How do you tell your upstairs neighbor that you don't appreciate being woken up at 3a by the loud sounds of them getting their back blown out... without sounding like a hater? Like, sis... I'm all for you catching an Orgasm, but like, 3am really? Oh - this is also the neighbor I thought died... so yeah, should I just continually catch this L? Should I wear ear plugs? Should I bang on the ceiling? I need your suggestions! Do you know your workplace love language? Mike is reading a book for work and breaks down how to show your co-workers you appreciate them. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, checkout the sickening nail art set my bae Peka did: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQMiPbHR6y/
Hey Friends! Mike and I took a few weeks off to travel and live a bit of life, but we're back with a new episode. Mike is down 15 lbs and Ishea is now on the MyFitnessPal bandwagon, we talk about paying off debt and financial literacy, and Ishea's new project: Balanced Brown Girl!

Guess what? We're now on Spotify!!! This week Ishea and Mike dish on Ishea's experience being part of KUOW's inaugural Curiosity Club Pop-Up Cohort, realizing they live in a bubble, that one time our neighbor died and the police got the unit number wrong... also, don't EVER buy Alaska Airlines Saver. Ishea was stranded in the airport for 18 hrs and wants to save you the headache.
Last week's episode is hella late because Ishea was in Vegas and well, that was a doozy! On episode #4 Mike and Ishea celebrate the anniversary of their first date, binging #DatingAround on Netflix and the asshole Justin from Episode 2, and people who peak at 21.
This week Mike and Ishea touch on "the tip" of how they survived #Snowpocalypse2019 and why they won't be having a Snowmageddon baby dropping in November, Mike's first time masturbating and questions if anyone loves their job or if we're all just "working for the weekend".
This week Mike and Ishea touch on "the tip" of staying humble, prepping for Snowpacalypse 2019 in Seattle and the trashiest site Mike happened upon while researching Cardi B.
In a world of diminishing attention-span, Just The Tip* is a micro-sized podcast that entertains without holding you hostage. Join hosts Ishea and Mike each week for their often humorous, always millennial take on "the tip" of what is happening in culture. Each episode is only 15 minutes because let's be honest... sometimes size really does matter.
