If imposter syndrome had a baby with grief, it would be named Disenfranchised. After experiencing life, we've learned loss is as inevitable as love but not always treated with the same amount of understanding and care. Shoutout to therapy for teaching us there's a word to describe the feeling of trying to hold the overflowing buckets of reality and grief at the same time.

It's a Parsons party of 4! We are in the *in between* of our birthdays and decided to celebrate another year around the sun with the guys that brighten our days. Patreon sent in questions and the four of us answered as many as possible. Even after years together, we all walked away from this learning something new- specifically what dog body we all have.

Thank you to the creators who dedicate their corner of the internet to sourcing and sharing good news. We definitely don't see enough of it now a days. Since this is Ciara's first episode back and she's definitely still experiencing some mourning wood, we thought easing back in with some positivity would be our best bet.

Ciara finally got a new phone after continuing to shatter the back of it. With only a few shards left in place, she decided it was time to upgrade. In doing so- she locked herself out of the emails that would have made this week's episode a Scandals one. We hope the tangents only retelling of our first leg back on tour will scratch the story itch for you until next time! These may be first world problems, but we're lovingly calling them tourror stories.

We asked you to send in stories to celebrate the mom in your life and we wish we wouldn't have. We had to pause not even halfway in to have tissues delivered to the couch to help us get through the rest of the episode. One thing is for sure- mom's are angels on earth and deserve the world. Thank you for everyone who shared their story with us!

Some tiktoks stick with you for years and one about ICKS has lived free in Ciara's head. There's very few things that please her more than a good comment section and this episode is an unhinged as the responses we found. If we were making a personal favorites playlist, this would immediately go towards the top of it. If you're in a funk and need your friends to cheer you up with bits galore and constant giggles this is the episode for you!

A classic Trolley Problem is a pillar of psychological and sociological studies. If you're unfamiliar, the OG Trolley P is “The trolley problem is a classic ethical thought experiment: a runaway trolley threatens five people; you can pull a lever to divert it to a track killing only one person, but you directly cause that death. It highlights the conflict between utilitarianism (maximizing lives saved) and deontological ethics (not actively killing).” We took it to another level and let our Patreon submit variations for us to blind react to. If we weren't sure before that our audience is full of creatively twisted individuals, we are now.
