The Right Amount of Unhinged

This month's podcast consists of retail job woes, annoying corporate practices, a snippet of the chant from the movie "Incantation", sad animal stories, summer solstice practices, and Ashley's new allergy revelations.

Lovely update: Ashley got a job! Granted maybe not the one we all were hoping for but it's a job, and that's enough for this economy! Everyone be nice to the retail workers please and thank you. Also, Maria reads Hinge prompts as a new segment on the podcast. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/8pQPD4mNwmw

We're playing video games and reading books (which if you know us that means we are two boring 30 year olds at the moment with no real updates). SOOO more ramblings this week, which includes us both getting a library card within the same week! Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/ZbleJvkINCM

This week, Maria drank a red bull and is still feeling the effects of it so have fun with the Unhinged Duo's ramblings, random tangents, tarot card readings, Dragon Ball Fusion World booster pack openings, ominous positivity, reddit post reviews, and discussions of the new Love is Blind season. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/pcBeYn-GeEo

Welcome to our first tarot reading session and random ramblings while on very low energy. Maria is going through busy season and Ashley is going through it. Also, as usual, we talk about movies (particularly Incantation, Maestro, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Saltburn aka Gen Z's gay Midsommar) Link to the tarot deck: https://www.lexaluna.com/tarot Watch the video recording here: https://yo...

Happy New Year Unhinged podcast community! Welcome to some sort of structure in 2024! Maria talks about pulling tarot cards and being an estrangle Catholic while Ashley goes through r/WhitePeopleTwitter and we (of course) judge the heck outta them. Stay tuned for your monthly tarot card reading every third Monday of the month! Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/nYe9Pyym1RA

This week, Maria talks about her bout with the flu and Ashley talks about the fantasy book genre and in particular the new book from Rebecca Yarros called "Iron Flame". This is our last podcast episode until the new year so we wish everyone a great holiday season, and we'll see y'all in 2024! Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/ebXNsjP-TmY

This week, it's all about GRATITUDE! We appreciate and are grateful for whoever is listening, even if it's just the two of us in the future, and hopefully this episode is quite entertaining for everyone as it really is unhinged. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/LoCClLl6Kzs

Oh wow okay hi everyone. Sorry not sorry for the hiatus; life as 30 year olds is kinda hectic. Here's an episode that we filmed back in September before things went crazy and there was some light in my (Maria's) eyes. Basically, I give a synopsis of the “The Retrievals” podcast from the NY Times’ Serial Productions then we talk about things such as AA meetings and the bisexual experience....

We are back from our Labor Day weekend break and this week, the Unhinged talks about the importance of therapy. Very different from our usual topics as we get all serious and sappy, but still very unhinged. NOW TAKE CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. THANKS!

This week, Ashley talks about her recent TV show obsessions: 90 Day Fiancé and Match Me Abroad. So commence the judgment over Americans who cannot comprehend or appreciate different cultures!! Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/4Ft9Ujyc9vw

This week, the Unhinged duo decide to read the latest on r/ShitMomGroupsSay and judges all of the parents. Enjoy, and remember, only God can judge us! (If you're unsure, that was sarcasm.) Also, Panera, please, please, please sponsor Ashley. Thank you!

This week, Maria recites her hell-ish experience at Heathrow Airport during her latest travels to England. If you have an entertaining airport story, we would LOVE to hear it. And if you're a fan of Heathrow Airport for some reason, sorry not sorry. Watch the recording here: https://youtu.be/DnNDG1kDdRY

This week, the Unhinged duo decide to read the latest AITA posts (which means Maria gets real uncomfortable and can't read coherently and Ashley is thriving because she lives for the drama) and judges the OP and their situations. If there's anything we are good at, it's judging people and their problems. Enjoy! AITA Posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/14a9uaa/aita_fo...

This week, Maria and Ashley talk about the air quality situation that occurred in the NY/NJ area and how it affected Maria's 30th birthday and our dogs (and also how there are conspiracies around this?). Also, PSA, be careful out there on the Internet. The stuff housed on the "dark web" is easier to access than you think. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/xc2a_sg0BJg

This week, Maria and Ashley are both depressed still! And honestly we're blaming the recent retrograde! Anyway, we talk about pet parents and why white, cis men (and honestly some cis women) HATE that concept. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/jEiBwXoxKS0

First off, Happy Mental Health Awareness Month; this is a disclaimer for anyone that needs to skip this week's episode. We do talk in a satirical manner the whole episode, but wanted to put that out there just in case. Please take care of yourselves. This week, Ashley takes us on a somewhat deep dive into MUDs (medically unrecognized disorders)... There's a lot of yelling in this episode a...

This week is an accidental continuation of last episode where Maria talks about Filipino psychology. We talk about this semi-viral Tiktok video being circulated around the Filipino Internet and we get our two cents in because why the heck not. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/k8BUZRSJYas

This week, we have something interesting to talk about! Maria introduces the concept of "utang na loob" and how that has affected her life as a Filipino American, and Ashley comments on White American culture. Pretty much all cool information this week and little fun - very different vibe so hope y'all enjoy! Link to NPR's Code Switch podcast episode that was discussed: n.pr/3A07...

This week, we have yet another film based podcast episode! We FINALLY watched The Menu (2022) - so spoilers ahead if you won't want to be spoiled of any of the plot points!! Also, we click through the auction that A24 did for the Everything, Everywhere All At Once (2022) memorabilia. And we end on a great marketing email from Peacock to advertize the movie M3GAN (2022). Lastly, we ramble on ab...

This week, we have NOTHING to talk about (SHOCKER)! So, the Duo comments on how they're both wearing yellow and how annoying the week has been, which includes Ashley getting a concussion, Maria getting bullied at rec volleyball, and how annoying cancel culture is. Also, Maria just talks about the podcasts that she listens to, and in particular, the Best Friends podcast with Nicole Byer and Sasheer...

This week, we (kind of!) have a topic: SPORTS. The Unhinged Duo talk about Maria's love of basketball while Ashley talk about her absolute hatred of basketball and her former cheerleading career. This turns into the Duo confessing their love for each other because ~best friends~ and a very entertaining ultimate frisbee high school gym class story from Ashley. Watch the video recording here: https:...

This week, in true Unhinged fashion, we have nothing to talk about (I guess that's what happens to people when they speak every day). Well except Maria got a new pup and how salty Maria is about Ashley's SAT scores still. So of course we take the time to go through what's happening on our Nextdoor apps! Enjoy listening to our small town gossip and apparently our friendship origin story? Also, if y...

This week, we continue to talk about our AI counterparts because somehow we cannot get enough of them (even though they are pretty scary to think about). In particular, we talk about two AI tools:  chatGPT and replika. If you're reading this, PLEASE send us your thoughts on either of the two (especially if you've used them). We'd love to read them.   chatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/&nbs...

This week, we read a couple of emails we received a couple of months ago, and they are the definition of unhinged. We journey into a conversation about belly buttons, belly button rings, bonding with infants, and AI spam e-mails. And please, to whatever bot emailed us, please continue to email us. We love the chaos. Watch the video recording here: https://youtu.be/jpGzr0h1bgo
