How Were U Brainwashed?

"There's No Reality Show About Baristas" (w/ Sarah Burton)

Season 2, Ep. 72

Jenny & Nicole welcome endlessly entertaining writer, comedian, and content creator (Buzzfeed, HuffPost, UCB) Sarah Burton to the pod!


We get into mammogram logistics, if dating sports mascots makes you a furry, if Jenny should get her real estate license, if Buzzfeed was the peak millenial job, recording TikTok content in your nightshirt, if it's better to be pompous or modest, The Dunning-Kruger effect, scaring your kids with your farts, and which diapers are chic.
