Major Themes & Discussion Points

1. The Slippery Slope of Online Comedy

Starting at [02:26]

• Emily discusses the surreal experience of going viral and getting hate comments on TikTok.
  • “It is the slipperiest slope. Like it really…Maybe sliding up and sliding up as well.” (Emily, [02:28])
• Both agree hate comments are almost a badge of honor in comedy, though they don’t bother them—unless “not funny” is the insult.
  • “You could call me fat, ugly, stupid, annoying…fine. But when someone says I’m not funny? That’s fucking rude.” (Grace, [04:30])
• Emily’s strategy: Responding to trolls with a zoom-in of their own profile picture—“It means nothing and means everything at the same time. Because it’s about your interpretation.” (Emily, [03:22])

2. Catholic Upbringing, Spiritual Shifts, and the Northeast Identity

Starting at [05:13]

• Emily on being a “50/50” (mixed heritage): Raised Catholic but not practicing.
• They laugh about viral trends like baptizing dogs and the culture clash between devout parents and their disengaged kids.
• The “Northeast Alliance”—concluding the Northeast just has the best people (with a quick nod to Chicago and California).
  • “You gotta have a flavor of all our best parts of this country…And it’s usually just the Northeast.” (Grace, [07:15])

3. Pop Culture: Shows, Movies, and Generational Taste

Starting at [09:32]

• Grace recommends “Paul American” (about the Paul brothers) and discusses pop culture obsessions/guilty pleasures.
• Dissecting TV preferences, neither could get into “Breaking Bad” or “Game of Thrones.”
  • “I just can’t get into it. And I wish I could—I’ve tried a thousand times.” (Grace, [22:46])
• Movies: “Interstellar” makes both their top lists; Emily longs for more mind-bending blockbusters.
• Romcoms: Both defend “Anyone But You” as an unfairly maligned but fun, airplane-perfect film.

4. Ginger Men: A Niche Passion

[13:00 – ongoing]

• Both admit a hilarious, competitive lust for ginger men.
  • “I thought I had a very niche love for ginger men. I didn’t know there was another bitch out here in New York City...” (Grace, [13:16])
• Emily’s viral “megaphone ginger husband” video, Grace’s instant recognition, and playful banter about ginger appreciation.

5. The Cow Collision Chaos: Emily’s Vermont Adventure

[25:04 – 32:29]

• The true story behind the episode’s title: Emily’s harrowing encounter with a bull on a Vermont farm wagon ride.
  • “He just goes like this with his horn and stabs me right where my appendix is…and rips it up…he’s all the way up here, stuck in my Aritzia super puff.” (Emily, [28:34])
• With her leggings torn, a near miss on her beloved jacket, and a big purple bruise in a sensitive place, Emily details the absurdity with physical comedy and self-deprecating flair.
• “I was really trying to support local business, and their cow, like, almost staked me.” (Emily, [31:16])
• Aftermath: showing photos to friends, the pain, and lack of medical attention—plus, the hardiness of the Aritzia super puff.

6. Social Media, Influencer Life, and Reluctant Branding

[56:02]

• Emily and Grace reflect on the awkwardness of influencer trips (Hyatt brand trips & TikTok events), feeling out of place, and wishing they could live more in the moment instead of constantly filming content.
• “When I’m out, I put my phone away—and that’s when I should have it out…” (Grace, [57:20])

7. The Digital Footprint & Nostalgic Cringe

[61:55]

• “Disgraceful Receipts”—Grace’s sister Nora digs up old photos and online residue for Emily to explain, spurring laughter and commiseration about awkward phases, school fashion, and hometown culture.
• Stories about growing up, friend circles, and Emily’s undying love for the “beach or preppy” dichotomy of her high school days.

8. Rapid-fire Pop Culture, Crushes, and Shout-outs

Celebrity crush lists, quick tangents:

• Emily’s celebrity crushes span from Jake Johnson, Paul Mescal, Drew Starkey, Kit Connor, Rupert Grint, Hozier, to Jack Harlow, Chris Evans, and more.
• Both agree the rise and wild business ventures of the Kardashians have reached “cartoon status.”
