In what was supposed to a new intro paying homage to the Kobe Bryant, resident white, guy Sean McArthur, hijacks this episode to talk ad nauseam about sportyball and animals he does't like -all while focusing his Mamba Mantality to make Yvette cry.  Spoiler: he's no Kobe. Among the blah, blah, blah sports talk, Sean tells Yvette how Kobe got the nickname Mamba and about his childhood Kobe issues.  Later, Sean still fails miserably at making Yvette cry even though the anniversary of her mother's death was literally yesterday.   Then Yvette invites Bill Murray to defend his honor after Sean tries to ruin him.

This episode was recorded after Yvette ugly cried for hours because her doctor doesn't care that her mycotoxin results are off the charts and still won't order diagnostics or prescribe the anti-fungals that could give Yvette her life back. Rea notices that crying makes Yvette sound more lively while Yvette deliberates whether to give herself pneumonia, take deadly blackmarket anti-fungals without the necessary organ function monitoring and/or start poisoning doctor's offices with toxic mold. Rea explores the boundaries of rock bottom, the discomfort in the process of becoming an honest person, hating sobriety and trouble distinguishing reality and dreams. Rea goes to an Agent Workshop and a talented but racist improvisor tells Rea to dress up like Lil Wanye and do black face. Rea declines and does Bad Girls by MIA. Rea slacks off on looking for a podcast intern bc self she's too busy smothering her face with her codependent dog. Yvette finally gets some street credit to say Voledemort via her (Northern Africa, Mali, Senegal, Congo, Nigeria) ancestry results. Rea (100% Indian) is still uncomfortable. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

In this episode, probationary co-host Rea Kapur, tells Yvette about her pursuit of becoming reliable and her struggle with weed withdrawal (it's real y'all).  Then Rea tells a pretty funny blackmail story and is thoroughly unimpressed with the only blackmail story Yvette tries to have before explaining to Yvette why she's famous (it's not this podcast). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

In this Episode, Yvette asked OG Santana to come back for a special New Decade Episode! But she said no. So instead, Yvette subjects Poor Man's Santana to ideas she's been working on all day about how to choose a new, better, different life (and on a related note, self) in the upcoming decade. Since Yvette has ADD, she starts in the middle (take inventory of who you are and what makes you stronger/weaker), circles back to what should have been the beginning (define the kind of year and decade you want to manifest), lets PMS derail her with dream analysis and finally ties it all together (except maybe that dream stuff) with step 3, create a new, better, faster, stronger, 2007 Kanye normal. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

Full moons are all about reflection, releasing and realignment so on the last full moon of the decade, Yvette drinks entirely too much wine (literally two glasses) and Autumn, unsurprisingly, doesn't want to explore anything negative.  Then they talk about the good, bad and the ugly of the holidays and how they go about surviving and thriving in them -Yvette leans in, Autumn leans out and both believe in a choose your own adventure approach regarding holidays and life. Finally Autumn makes Yvette feel like garbage for loving Woody Allen. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

In this episode Autumn and Yvette interview the Host of Bourbon and Burlesque, Chris Thomas. In what was supposed to be an episode about sexy things like burlesque, Yvette gets distracted pretty early on and derails the three of them into exploring how Chris accidentally stumbled onto sobriety after a rough night out. Specifically, Chris shares what his choose your own recovery process looked like (diet, exercise, attainable goals) and the unexpected gifts of his sobriety (grad school, career, hobbies). After exploring recovery, the trio stays on track momentarily while Chris talks about his experience as burlesque host and Yvette tells Chris why he should do standup. Then things get weird as the topic of polyamory turns into them talking for an oddly long time about sperm competition and how women can accidentally giving birth to their partner's clone.

After only 10 years of Yvette nagging, Autumn finally starts journaling and loves it.  Then she tries to explain her “be patient with liars” philosophy. Unconvinced, Yvette respectfully disagrees and strongly suggests not lying to her. Later, the two touch on the subject of Yvette's favorite book, The Art of Loving. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

Autumn and Yvette try to talk about whether or not people can change but the conversation digresses, like so many, into one of death and dying. More specifically, they discuss what aided their grieving processes (Yvette plugs journaling yet again) and how you can be helpful to a loved one who’s grieving. PS were still experiencing technical difficulties and so like this is totally unedited and rough

In typical mercury retrograde form, Yvette’s technology is failing and as a result, this podcast is completely unedited. During this verbose overshare, Yvette and her long time bestie Autumn talk about the time Yvette gave her heart to a dumpster-fire and how that relates to various patterns they’ve participated in and witnessed over the course of their 20 yr friendship. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

Honestly, it wasn’t hard. In this episode, Yvette interviews professional dominatrix, Serena Stangata and even though Yvette tried really hard to be respectful, she failed miserably and accidentally upset Serena into hanging up on her. Before that, the pair did get to explore the mind and experiences of a dominatrix. Spoiler: she hates men a lot more than we expected and seems to be largely fueled by anger, which for some reason, surprised Yvette. If you want to hear about European style dungeons, the joys of shoving needles into fingernails (and genitals), play parties, furries, adult babies, foot worship and Dave Chappelle, this is the episode for you. For added fun, have a drink every time Yvette says the word “fascinating” when she’s mostly just hoping others will be more interested in this stuff than her puritanical sensibilities let her be. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

In this episode, Santana interviews Inner Systems Ecologist and Desire Coach, Lina Joksch. Lina's work focuses on helping women cultivate the soul garden they were given into the garden they want. During the interview she discusses her experience as a somatic sex therapy (yoni massage) patient and how her journey of self-work and love inspired her to help others. Then they discus how the walking wounded can use self-love and celebration practices to work with the score that your body is keeping, so big and little T trauma alike can be transformed and integrated into a desirable life.

Santana makes Yvette listen to an episode of her favorite podcast, Muscle Intelligence because in that episode, Dr. Albert Villoldo explores the neuroscience of plant medicine and gives awesome tips for "growing a new body," which Yvette could obviously use. After the recording of this podcast, Yvette tried the 2-4 grams of fish oil that Villoldo recommended for improving your hippocampus and it randomly is the best thing she's found for her broken endocrine system. Now Yvette is reading his book, "Grow a New Body." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/neuroscience-enlightenment-alberto-villoldo-ph-d/id1448211060?i=1000449963986 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

After a few weeks of solo interviews, Santana and Yvette finally have time, at the same time, to record a podcast together.   This podcast starts with a story about the time Yvette threw up all over Santana (last week) and on a related note, the fact that Santana now thinks she's getting the flu.  In better, and frankly miraculous news, Yvette shares how after two years of pining, she finally got over the Peter Pan who had kidnapped her heart for way too long, and the dreams that affirmed it.  Then Santana gets really angry about guys reaching out to her for her sex, which inspires Yvette to share unpopular opinions about slut shaming and the tendency in hookup culture to dehumanize and objectify other people and, in turn, oneself.  Last, Santana plans to fuck a (figurative) "horse dick." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

In this episode, Santana interviews her friend Will Watts about the profound affect ayahuasca ceremonies in Peru had on his metal health, PTSD, relationships and human potential.  First, Will details his experience working with plant medicine under the guidance of Shamans. Then, having been so positively affected by lessons gifted to him by the plant medicine, Will becomes passionate about sharing these gifts with other veterans and is in the beginning stages of producing a documentary where a film crew follows a team of veterans as they experience the healing affects of plant medicine for the first time.   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/NerdaciousBehavior/message

Yvette gets to write these episode notes so naturally, in this episode, Yvette completely wins the gender pronoun debate. The verdict: freedom of speech is way more important than the way anyone feels. They also discuss racism, death, skinsuits, children in cages, their shared crush on John Connor and Paula's affinity for Eddie Furlong. Yvette's gives a gratitude practice update and Paula finally wraps up her very sad story about kidnap victim Steven Stayner. For reasons no one can understand, Paula offers to help Yvette navigate the bullshit healthcare system in America. PS The word is a "logophile"

This episode starts with Yvette doing a terrible UK bastard accent alone in her room and leads into discussion with her new friend, Paula Stornetta about Paula's childhood baby-sitter, famous kidnap victim, Steven Stayner and her interviews with convicted serial killer, Ed Kemper. They also talk about how uber has complicated talking to kids about stranger-danger, how Yvette's mom predicted the non-binary gender movement and why Yvette values free speech more than compelled pronouns even though it makes her a liberal outcast.

Then Santana meets the massage she's not into and the girls stumble into an important conversation about consent (that Yvette wishes was part of a broader cultural conversation about the distinction between consensual and nonconsensual sex).

In classic nerdacious fashion, after INTJ Internet sleuthing her way into a friendship with her youtube crush, Frank James, Yvette somehow convinces him to be on what might be the most interesting episode of Nerdacious Behavior yet. During the interview Frank explains how Yvette and Santana’s Myers-Briggs types compliment each other and why Santana is the fun one (no one was surprised). Then Yvette tricks Frank into reflecting about his relationship with intimacy before the three explore how horribly defective Frank, the rarest type for a man (INFJ) and Yvette, the rarest type for a woman (INTJ), felt before Carl Jung gave them permission to be their easily misunderstood selves.

Welcome to the first episode of Nerdacious Behavior! The new podcast where audacious nerds, Santana and Yvette, discuss their pursuit of wellness, mild attempts at dating and other hilarities of adulting. In this episode, Santana spends the first half recommending the documentary What the Health (even though it catalyzed a vegan experiment that is making her feel like death) before segueing into her dream career of eating donated shellfish. In the second half, for the first time ever, Yvette remembers to tell someone about the nightmare she had before being on Eddie Pepitone's podcast last week and her Neal Brennan inspired Aspergers Syndrome.
