In the series finale of "Sicker Sadder World," hosts Brittany & Laura share a pizza, celebrate the graduating class of Lawndale High, experiment with one more ASMR session (audio warning included), lose the thread of what they're talking about a couple of times, and generally get sappy about this show and their listeners. Commemorative t-shirt coming soon at sickersadderworld.com!
In the first half of the two-part podcast finale, hosts Brittany and Laura discuss "Is It College Yet" in which our Lawndale friends confront the realities of their lives beyond high school. A mistaken marriage proposal, Quinn in the workforce, and plenty of nepotism are just some of the nuggets that fill out the film's first half.
The ambitious final episode of the regular series contains sweetness, depth, and some major character development for Daria; when a fridge box triggers a troubling memory, Daria starts to question herself and who her antisocial behavior has most affected in her life. Hosts Brittany & Laura chat about their own podcast journeys, young Helen's hair, and visceral childhood memories. They keep the sappy goodbyes at bay... for now.
When Quinn starts a rumor at school that Daria and Tom had sex, Daria confronts whether her relationship is ready for that level of intimacy. Hosts Brittany and Laura recollect their own clunky introductions to sex, discuss the continually coded queerness of Daria's friendship with Jane, and enjoy the sweet sounds of Savage Garden.
Daria, Jodie and Upchuck compete for a scholarship from a racist and sexist corporation, which makes Jane questions Daria's morals. Also for some stupid reason, Jake has a LOT of hot dogs to get off his hands. Meanwhile, hosts Brittany and Laura discuss Brittany's second grade makeout, Laura's PTSD from college applications and The Head makes an appearance.

Aunt Amy's back! Helen's sister Rita reaches out for help with a family crisis, reuniting their temperamental band of sisters. While weathering the family drama, Daria pushes Tom away but gets closer to Quinn. Hosts Britttany & Laura rank the characters by their BDE and discuss Quinn's character development and the pleasure of online stalking former MTV Real World stars. They avoid saying much of anything about our terrifying actual real world.
When Jane starts dating a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Daria wonders if she and Tom are in a rut. Also, Stacy gives us an Oscar-worthy performance. Meanwhile, hosts Brittany and Laura discuss ghosts of straight relationships' past and the magician who ruined Brittany's life. You can follow us @sickersadder, @britt27ash and @la_wa.

Helen wants Tom to join them for dinner but Daria is worried Tom will wipe the floor with Jake. In a stunning turn of events, Daria's monogamy makes Quinn feel pressured to find a steady boo of her own, leading to the best days of the three Js lives. Brittany & Laura talk about couple-specific language and embarrassing parents, and blame their mental health issues on demons.
A caricature artist's rendering sends the Fashion Club into a self-esteem panic, while Jane sells out her art to help rebuild the Lane family gazebo, a sentimental fixture of their home. Brittany & Laura lavish their listeners with love, ponder why we only get caricatures drawn of ourselves when we're at our most physically awkward, and celebrate the best ever ending of a "Daria" episode.
When Principal Li refuses to raise the teacher's salaries, they go on strike. After a creepy substitute teacher gets let go, Daria is the interim teacher of Quinn's English class. Meanwhile, Brittany and Laura talk about the cinematic classic "Teaching Mrs. Tingle", try to get better than a B+ on a Romeo & Juliet essay question and Laura sees pictures of Brittany's hair in high school.
