Zach and Lexi take advantage of their podcast format for a topic that is truly best discussed in an audio only setting— smells. Good smells, bad smells, all of the smells. This episode's a real stinker.

The Olympics...?

Zach and Lexi make a mellow episode this week talking about cool people, good reads, and a whole lots of recs.

Check out Created by Parker on Instagram, he does veryyy good design work, especially for albums.

​Zach and Lexi commemorate the 50th episode of the 'cast by still being in a relationship!! They revisit the LTR rads and sads from the first episode, and build on those with what they've learned since then.

If you're looking to buy books for the holidays, check out local bookshops like The Dusty Bookshelf!! You can order books right from their website, and also follow them on Instagram if you like to look at nice pictures of books and things.

Zach and Lexi answer all the hard-hitting, hilarious, and otherwise ridiculous questions that you lovely Raddies and Saddies sent to the 'cast.

Thanks so much to everyone who sent in questions for this!!

This week we're shouting out the Enterprises™ of Zach's friend Cody Cokely! He makes custom, handmade collecibles and art on his Etsy. Lots of awesome pop culture stuff, Cody can make sweet, personalized gifts for others or yourself!

Alsoooo, he co-hosts a Twitch stream with his brother Zach, it's Your New Brothers! They play games like Overwatch, Left for Dead 2, Stardew Valley, all kinds of stuff and have a great, chill conversations with everybody who's hanging out and watching.

Zach and Lexi bring on a good friend— and someone who knows much more than them, though that bar is low-- to take a peek into the future of their living situations.

The Blue and Pink Rooms in Zach's parents' house. Look at all that luxiourous floral.

Check out Hugo Tea! Hugo gets their tea directly from producers whom they have met directly and know the quality of the tea and the quality of the operation.

​We have a bunch of their teas (Zach's favorite is the Gao Wen black tea !!) and have talked to them in the past to to ask tea-related quesions. They are super ethical and sustainable, and all around, make some really great tea.
