We Didn't Die

In today's extra long episode Ali and Alex cover the ups and downs of combining lives with your significant other, before talking about their most memorable moving stories and devolving into a Harry Potter/Enneagram combination personality assessment at the end.

In honor of Ali's birthday, this week the theme is birthday shenanigans. Have you ever thrown up Nashville Hot Chicken out of your nose after a Dashboard Confessional concert? We have.

On this week's episode Ali and Alex hit all the high notes (lol) talking about the music that helped shape them into who they are. From growing up with their parents' favorites to finding their emo phase, this episode will leave you with only one question- Is that a uterus?

On this episode, Ali and Alex discuss some life-changing trips that taught lessons or brought back weird prior life nostalgia. *No blonde girls were murdered at secret beaches or French dance halls in the making of this episode*

In today's episode Ali and Alex talk through a few of the times they've attempted to be a friend to all living creatures great and small through well-intentioned rescues. From Ali's desperate need to love chickens to Alex's trust issues stemming from a childhood turtle trauma, they can guarantee that one out of four of these stories has a happy ending.

On this episode, Ali and Alex talk about advice that has stuck with them through the years. From unsolicited opinions to well-intentioned but misplaced niceties, the bad advice is almost as memorable as the good advice.

In a departure from the normal structure, Ali and Alex talk over new things in their lives (like Ali going back into the office and getting in a fight with a woman on Facebook Marketplace and Alex entrepreneuring so hard she forgot to mention her birthday) before jumping into the Newlywed Game to prove how well they know each other.

On this episode Ali and Alex dive into online bullying experiences and how to combat the haters. From that time Ali got threatened by a preteen's finsta to when Alex made friends with a local meme account after being posted about, cheers to not letting the negativity get you down.

REUNITED! Inspired by finding out they know a real live Catfish, Ali and Alex tackle the topic of social media for the very first episode they've ever recorded from the same room. Do you use your platform as a highlight reel, or do you share all your moments exactly as they are?

Whether it's faking a Southern accent to ingratiate yourself to your customers or explaining to FBI agents that you cannot legally ship their forgotten firearms to them, bad jobs can be a real drag.

Ali and Alex get unusually teary-eyed in this episode as they discuss big life transitions and how they moved on from situations that at the time seemed too big to survive. From learning to listen to your heart when it tells you something is not right, to figuring out how to trust and value yourself enough to seek your own happiness, it's always easier to make it through with a best friend's support.

Ali and Alex take a darker turn to talk about their most near-fatal experiences. From accidentally kayaking down rapids in unsuitable clothing to rapidly becoming the most interesting patient in the pediatric oncology wing for a day- at least they ended their days with a cheat meal.

On the second episode of this two-part series on Dating Apps, Ali and Alex cover some of their most... interesting dating app stories. From overly emotional confessions to concerning propositions, and queso throwdowns to 4 hour hikes- they are the most cautionary of tales.

In this two-part series, Ali and Alex take a deep dive into their dating app experiences. In episode one, hear about what key profile mistakes ALWAYS led them to swipe left (no one wants your kissy-face shirtless mirror selfies, Kevin) and what they were looking for when downloading vs. what they actually got (seriously, do not introduce me to your mother). Ali also subjects Alex to a quiz about different dating platforms, which she promptly fails.
