Ep 84 | Time Capsule: Douching is Manifesting (with Mindbath)

In this installment of our time capsule episode series, we interview artist, musician, writer, and true sweetie pie close friend of ours Mindbath while we visit them in Austin, TX during our fall 2022 road trip. We talk about artist ego, the pursuit of fame, Lea Michelle’s literacy, Nika and Anya’s characters in Mindbath’s upcoming novel, and so so much more. We hope you enjoy this hang as much as we did!

It's been exactly 1 year since our last episode! Surprise, b*tch, bet you thought you'd seen the last of us... It's been a wild year and we can't wait to catch you up on all of it. Even though we haven't been posting, we have still been recording here and there, and as our big return we present to you our time capsule series. The first episode from the last year we are sharing with you is the episode we recorded from our month on the road in fall of 2022. Recorded in a motel room in Montana.

TRIGGER WARNING: death and grief. We promise not all the time capsules we have for you will be this sad. We have missed you all so much and are so honored to continue to share our lives with you. Thank you for your patience. Rest in peace our dear beloved friend Alex.

Correction from this episode: we say the investigation of the Marshall Fire began in January 2020, but we meant January 2022.

The besties talk romanticizing hypothetical future lives as community theater teachers upstate, in healthy relationships, etc. Nika discusses her current stint of sobriety, Anya talks pulling out of a depressive episode, and the girlies praise Hunter Biden for his iconic f*ck up this past week. The experiment of replacing the Deep Dive segment with a Highlight of The Week segment continues this week, what do you think? Finally, Nika takes us on the journey of Kesha v Dr. Luke and the #freekesha movement.

Nika and Anya discuss the importance of straight men redistributing their wealth of knowledge about cars to the queer community. The besties discuss problematic age gaps, the intersection of the queer experience with queer representation in cinema (specifically the new film Fire Island), Nika’s depressive episode coming to an end, and Anya getting robbed in London in 2017. Nika tells us about the leaps and bounds made by the pre-Nazi Germany gay rights movement, the betrayal of the “normal” gays to the greater queer community (go figure), and ultimately the tragic loss of the rich library of 19th century queer research and literature as fascism rose in the early 20th century. Content warning: mentions of suicide and also fisting.
