Scott and Sadie
🕰️ A Blast From the Past: April 27, 2022
- We dragged up a gem from the archives because Scott’s calendar skills are somewhere between “pitiful” and “tragic.”
- Turns out, we’ve been this chaotic for years. Growth? Never heard of it.
😍 Celebrity Crushes: Aging Like Questionable Wine
- Sadie thirsts for Michael Keaton like he’s Batman and Beetlejuice all at once.
- Scott gives shoutouts to Harrison Ford, Sam Elliott, and Clint Eastwood—basically the Mount Rushmore of “Still Hot, Still Grumpy.”
- Moral: The older they get, the less they care, and somehow that’s even hotter.
👨👦 Parenting in the Digital Wasteland
- Scott vents about disciplining a teenager armed with a smartphone and zero survival instincts.
- Sadie dishes out the tough love advice: boundaries, values, and occasionally just chucking the WiFi router into a river.
- Spoiler: Technology is raising our kids, and it’s doing a crap job.
📱 Social Media: The Emotional Dumpster Fire
- Snapchat gets dragged for turning humans into dopamine junkies one streak at a time.
- We agree: social media is bad for your brain but amazing for finding out which high school enemy still lives with their parents.
🏢 Studio Renovations: Welcome to Sad Beige Industrial Hell
- The new studio vibe? Psychiatric ward, but make it corporate.
- We’re just two sarcastic clowns recording life advice in a space that looks like it was decorated by anxiety itself.
📧 Work Emails: Professionalism? We Don’t Know Her
- Scott’s obsession with order meets Sadie’s flair for passive-aggressive emojis.
- Conclusion: If you can’t be classy, at least be hilarious.
🎤 Nostalgia Dump: We’re Still Standing (Barely)
- We reflect on how the show’s evolved: more snark, fewer f**ks given.
- Also, we have the best listeners in the world and we mean that even when we’re hungover.
