Confidence Building v2.0
After an extended hiatus we're back where it all began, talking about confidence building! This is being published in Apr 2026, but if you listen to the whole episode you'll find out when we actually recorded this... oops? To all those who have been asking for more podcast episodes for the last (almost) two years, we appreciate you more than we can say and without you pushing us to start up again, who knows if we ever would have actually done more. You guys are the real MVPs. (Shout out to Kaiser's owner - the next one is recorded but not edited yet, if it's not out by the end of the month you have full permission to come in person and yell at me.)

Generalization
Ever wondered why we called this 'Make it Weird'? If you missed the 60 sec explanation on Tiktok 2 yrs ago, this is the (much) longer version of that.

We also hear how Sienna's construction era is going, and definitely don't get very concerned. Timestamps - Nonsense: 2:20 Dog Stuff: 10:15 Additional Nonsense: 55:40 Do you like discount codes?
