This week, our hosts catch up on Jasmine’s friend’s baby shower and Michael’s recent trip to NYC. This week’s topic is all about removing inventions from history, where Michael drags social media, and Jasmine is ready to go after Big Selfie. Michael then introduces her to Tilly Norwood.

We finish the show with Pleasantries about leftover screws and a literal cool-down about awkward first dates. So get your offline vibes ready, put those selfie sticks in the dumpster fire, and join us for some pleasant conversations!

Today’s episode starts off with Michael telling Jasmine which dog they both are based on their birthday, and then the hosts play catch-up.

Today’s topic is about specific time travel points, and Michael spirals into a story about Muzzy (the 1980s alien who taught kids foreign languages). Pleasantries dive into the crappers, and the Cool Down brings us back to history.

So throw on some period-specific garb, grab your T.B. napkins, and join us for some pleasant conversations!

This week, we find out that Jasmine hates Fall.

Welp.

To make her day, today’s topic is about the holidays. *BOOM* To no one’s surprise, Michael waxes nostalgic about holiday traditions and goes on a tangent about pies. Pleasantries continue the food theme, and the Cool Down brings up awkward interactions (and Michael goes down a deep rabbit hole due to a “Dear Evan Hansen” reference).

So don your comfy Fall clothes, take the pie out of the oven before it burns, but don’t wave to me unless you want to have some pleasant conversations!

Michael starts this week with a quick “Ain’t That Good News” segment about using celebrity for good and a cute construction kitty named Sue!

Today’s topic is about the unexplained social rules we observe…well, MOST of us. Michael uses the word “jabbering”—twice. The topic really gets both hosts heated more than Canadian hockey players. We end with the pleasantries of a silent elevator and cool down with Michael's ode to escalators.

There are no special rules when joining us around the dumpster fire except the only conversations allowed are pleasant conversations!

What resistance theme would your dinner party be? Whilst cutting cheese with a guillotine, our hosts are still trying to beat the heat, and Michael talks about some sad, patriotic art.

This week’s topic is introverts vs. extroverts, where Michael rambles, and Jasmine brings us back to center. Our hosts also talk about the pleasant side of forgetfulness and cool down with a discussion about worst impulse purchases.

Since you forgot why you came into this room, why not park it on the carpet and join us for some pleasant conversations!

This week is another shorty. Michael talks about the DC Grand Prix’s failure and Rosie’s return to talk TV.

The Wheel of Topics has our hosts talking about art and how to critique your friends. Jasmine brags about not losing socks in either the washer or the dryer, and Michael gushes over the wonders of leftovers.

So start your engines, hold onto your socks, heat some leftovers, and prepare to look at some art so you can at least fake your way through some pleasant conversations!

This week is short, but sweet, and Michael may have come up with an app that you better not steal! Partnerships, however, may inquire within.

Our hosts speak on confidence and delusions (someone give Michael uppies onto his soapbox), discuss how missing an exit can lead to other opportunities and another copyright moment brought to you by Michael, and then cool down with some stories of karma.

Today's episode will fly by faster than that last exit for 200 miles, so enjoy it while you can! Maybe you'll meet your soulmate with similar dietary restrictions at that shady diner in the middle of nowhere and have some pleasant conversations.

***The first drop had some tech issues, which are hopefully corrected with this new upload***

This week, Michael continues his D23 updates (old news, we know) and talks MCU casting. He and Jasmine talk more about the House of Mouse and capitalism.

Michael shows off his new sound effect for his week’s topic, which can wait until later (heh). They then discuss the failures of technology that could possibly be solved with props. The Cool Down asks “is it just me?” when it comes to hunger pangs.

So save your pennies for the Mouse, make sure your pie chart cools completely on the window sill before cutting, close the dang refrigerator door and have some pleasant conversations!
