UP YOUR ALLY IS BACK and the guest(s) this week isn't one poor soul but like 5+ people! Ally went and did some field work at the Notre Dame tailgate and found a bunch of people willing to answer the age-old debate of: White Claws vs. Trulys. She also got some hot takes from Jake on pop culture and then sort of discussed themes of the movie Joker (don't worry, no spoilers). So tune in - and yes, there's a rap week in review at the end.

Literally just dropping in since it's been like 3 weeks since I've posted and I need to get back on my GAME

Rap Week in Review at the end!

This week's episode features IDK! My BFF Jenn? - the queen of Target and witty comments herself - where we talk First Date Etiquette, Mental Health and the fact that liking the Office isn't a personality!
