"That's your flag on the moon" 31.07.2025 37:44
Boom boom boom, let us hear you say wayo! It’s hot, hot out there and Grace and Andrea are braving an un-air conditioned room to deliver an episode on performative Abba fans, jukebox musicals, flags on the moon, and getting that thing checked out (you know the one). Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wurzburger
“A Maxxinista walks into the DMV” 17.07.2025 39:00
It’s a very special [redacted] birthday for Andrea! Grace reveals (to no one’s surprise) that she was the proud owner of a nebulizer as a child. Andrea details not one but two harrowing (and avoidable) events. They both want musicians to stop threatening to release music. Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wurzburger
"It's crybaby summer" 03.07.2025 44:14
Things are heating up over here as the girls discuss the highs (Quitting! Stooping!) and lows (Ticks! Snappy Casual!) of Crybaby Summer. To be clear: it’s an episode that comes out around the 4th of July, not a 4th of July episode!!! No fireworks allowed! Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wurzburger
"Women of NY: frost yourselves!" 12.06.2025 1:02:28
Hey! Frost this! Grace and Andrea are deviating from the usual format to recap How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (only sort of against Grace's will). Ins include: the yellow dress, Kathryn Hahn, and (if you're Andie Anderson) Tajikistan. Outs include: pick-me behavior, alliterative names and (if you're Grace) everything else. Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace And...
"Anti-Clockwise, Pro-Clockdumb" 29.05.2025 45:08
Andrea and Grace's friendship is taken to the next level when they commit to sharing locations. Plus, they answer the question "Who is Conrad Edison?", realize Grace is a Boy Mom and Andrea is an Older Lady's Lady, and talk the merits (and pitfalls) of self-starting. They also make a discovery of a lifetime: Cannoli are really just dessert manicotti. Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace...
"My microwave meal won't stand for this" 15.05.2025 39:34
This episode has Grace and Andrea giggling and kicking their feet (but NOT from a bar stool that’s too high). The gals discuss the beauty (or irresponsibility?) of spending $50-$100 on a nice spring day, whether or not vegan snacks are an appropriate courting gift, and discover a new unit of measurement (you’re welcome science). Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wur...
"Let us spring break it down for you" 01.05.2025 45:54
The Spring Breakdown is OVER. Welcome back to Work Island, Population: Andrea. Grace is Brooklyn’s newest resident and, to Andrea’s surprise, a VEGAN? We’re all Hulk Hoganing out, brother. The gals chat paying for movers, depression cooking (both the era and mental state), and provide their definitive rankings of Diet Coke. Did you miss us? Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace A...
"By the way, she doesn't NEED the helmet" 27.03.2025 43:32
Love hurts, and if you're Andrea that means you'll wear a helmet. What's in this week? Oh, just the whimsy of making a spontaneous decision and taking the time to touch grass. They discuss the grad school-to-substitute teacher pipeline, adults who cough like toddlers, and campaign to #BringBackTheRingback....but get rid of text effects! Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace...
"You're so brave (we bet you think this pod is about you)" 13.03.2025 43:52
Andrea and Grace spend this episode being very, very brave (and seeming smart but not being smart). Grace wants flight attendants to keep their sassy safety demonstrations to themselves and Andrea talks way too much about coffee (she's going through it...). They unfortunately also wonder if the Pope is in or out (but wish him a swift recovery!!!) and Andrea tells the tale of her harrowing firs...
"At least 1000x more beautiful than a manatee" 27.02.2025 41:54
It's a very special SPEED ROUND edition of the pod, where Grace and Andrea take listener suggestions and judge whether they're in, out, or at least 500-1000x more beautiful than a manatee. Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wurzburger
"Cross my heart necklace and hope to die" 13.02.2025 39:31
Happy Valentine's Day! We're giving you the in and outs of gals and vals. Grace says heart necklaces are out (fine) but conversation hearts are in (criminal). Andrea will break up with you if you say "let's not do gifts" and they both decide all they *really* want is someone to photobooth smooth! Could that someone be you??? (No, really. This is a dating show now). Grace Ryan...
"All's fair in love and Timbersports" 30.01.2025 36:30
Cue the inspirational music because Grace and Andrea are back with some more ins and outs! Andrea is learning to love her swim cap, Grace has found the exhilarating world of Timbersports, and the pair ask the question on everyone's minds: is a lizard better in the wild or when being held against its will? Ok, gotta go live adjacent to the moment now! Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace...
"Are you Innie or Outie (belly button)?" 16.01.2025 34:34
It's a new year but the same old us. On this week's episode, Andrea tries to find the German word for how much she loves her hot water bottle, Grace's late grandma visits her via medium, and they both wonder if adults have outie belly buttons. Andrea is watching through the Marvel movies (but thinks there's not enough kissing) and if you were thinking about inviting them to a party...
"Will that be in RegularD or 3D?" 12.12.2024 42:24
Happy birthday Grace! This week, Andrea is determined to make a (somewhat musical) episode even though Grace hates the Happy Birthday song. We dive into our Spotify Wrapped ( in for Grace, out for Andrea), the uncontrollable urge for a man who years ( out for Grace, in for Andrea) and both agree that it's great to be the young age of [redacted for a bit of mystery] . Featuring: a special birthday...
"It's giving...thanks!" 28.11.2024 46:28
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! It's a very special Thanksgiving (well, also Wicked) themed episode. Andrea and Grace reveal what they're thankful for (hint: Grace's involves stairs), discuss their favorite Thanksgiving foods, and geek out about Wicked for an amount of time that won't make non-fans turn the episode off. They have some notes about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and discover yet another inv...
"Don't want to be a part of it: New York, New York" 14.11.2024 39:15
This week on the pod, we discuss the highs and lows of karaoke, whether or not we should have daylight saving time, Grace's disdain for baths (lately), and if dogs belong in clothing (costumes are a whole other thing). Andrea gets judged by a Nespresso employee (and loves it), and Grace reveals that the FFA (Future Farmers of America, of course) has always been in for her! Grace Ryan: @forme...
"The loneliness calls" 31.10.2024 48:43
Don't you wanna dance (DANCE!) with us, baby? Andrea and Grace have a surprisingly bathroom-centric list of ins and outs this week. Grace recounts a traumatizing trip to Medieval Times, Andrea googles "Marie Antoinette WHEN" and it's a whole thing, and they both wonder if we should just be eating M&Ms instead of trail mix. Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wur...
"That's the cobblestone hill I'll die on" 17.10.2024 52:31
We're back and answering a question Descartes (who is not a modern man, in case you were wondering) himself was too scared to ask: What time is morning? And for that matter, what time is night? Andrea and Grace discuss childhood blankies, the audacity of brands to charge $100 for a polyblend vest, and finally give everyone their opinions on PSLs (we know you were waiting). We'd say more but we hav...
"I will sue, I'm very litigious" 03.10.2024 54:14
Andrea & Grace issue a once-in-a-lifetime correction about dog movies (and are not happy about it) (don’t expect Andrea to do that ever again, she hated it). Andrea expresses a deep, abiding love for little pranks (even though she almost scared her own sister into using pepper spray on her on the street). Grace attempts to describe her signature scent (even though she can’t remember any names...
"Small town chest, big city dreams" 19.09.2024 46:06
This week, Grace decides tankinis are out, Andrea wants celebrities to do their own crisis PR and begs every woman she knows to get a crisis haircut (so she can support them). They also ask the question on everyone's mind right now: When was the last dog movie?!?! Oh! And *Grace loves you, Grace's mom! *Andrea writes these descriptions Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: ...
“If you can make it here…why the hell are you here?” 05.09.2024 45:40
Grace & Andrea talk purple mountains majesty (in) and fruity plains (very in, slay), which American Girl they are, and the magic of a little town we like to call…Atlanta, Georgia? Grace also admits she uses a Stanley Cup & Andrea admits she wishes she were brave enough to become a squatter. Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wurzburger
"Less cords, more spaceships" 22.08.2024 39:33
Grace gives herself frostbite and discovers the wonders of hydrocolloid bandages. Andrea loves when celebrities over-saturate themselves but hates the act of sitting on a roof. They both decide Wordle is out (sorry!). Grace Ryan: @formerdisgrace Andrea Wurzburger: @a_wurzburger
"That's my brain's fault...take it up with her" 08.08.2024 47:27
Andrea Wurzburger FINALLY gives into Grace Ryan's begging (or does she?) and becomes her co-host! We talk wisdom teeth (OUT for Andrea, literally), Grace's love for learning to grill (but not necessarily grilling), and how we'd wear our Survivor buffs. By the way, the quote Andrea was thinking of was, "You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman." You're welcome. G...
"Dude, you've got arthritis" with Nick Tigges 23.07.2024 50:27
Who has two artificial hips and won't let that stop his gym grind? Nick Tigges (https://www.instagram.com/the_nicktigges/), that's who. Nick brings us his thoughts on public transit, foot tattoos, underground boxing leagues, dating culture, car-jitsu, the phobias you get from watching certain TV shows too young, and more. It's our most evidence-based episode yet, which means there were at least tw...
"Delusion is a tool in my toolbox" with Leah Marie 02.07.2024 1:04:47
Comedian and queen of believing the best in others Leah Marie ( @leahmarie422 ) stops by to demand justice for: ugly cult leaders, people who hate holding hands, Presidential fitness test losers, Golden Corral, anti-bug salt shooters, and more!
