Literally, #FreeBritney

Womp womp, it's the end of Pride Month. But, that doesn't mean that the celebrations stop! In other news, let's talk about the Britney Spears conservatorship. Who else listened to her 20+ minute testimony to the judge overseeing her case? Wow...just wow. This 13 YEAR conservatorship has left her with no freedom or say so over anything. When does this stop?? Emily and Niko talk about it all. Literally, #FreeBritney. What better way to close out the episode than finishing the lyrics to some of Britney's greatest hits? Emily did well...Niko not so much.

Happy Daddy Day

Happy belated Father's Day to all the dads, stepdads, daddies, and father-like figures out there! Did you know that Father's Day didn't become a federal holiday until 1972? Speaking of fathers, and for all of the guys out there, how would you feel if you found out that you unknowingly fathered LOTS of children? One man donated sperm as a med student and found out what really happened with his samples...30 years later. Niko and Emily discuss this WILD story and how it all came to light along with the results from the Instagram poll - Would you consider donating your sperm or egg not knowing who it would go to and knowing you'll never meet the child it may create? And what a better way to wrap up the episode than with some sperm fun facts!

Cheug

Alright, so who watched the Friends reunion?! Emily did, and it made her start reminiscing about the good ol' days...ya know, the '90s. Niko and Emily talk about the things that really defined the last decade of the 20th century. They talk about some of their favorite '90s trademarks, down to the orange Nickelodeon VHS tapes and all. Your two millennial SnackTime hosts then talk about Millennials vs. Gen Z. What is up with this new generation?! Especially when it comes to some of the phrases/words/lingo they throw around. Like what is a cheug? Emily puts some others out there to see if Niko knows what they mean. It wasn't his best round...

When The Moon Hits Your Eye...

Guess what?! Yup - Niko attended yet another wedding, and Emily attended a baby shower. Who would’ve thought… And what is a wedding after party without some PIZZA? There is nothing better than ending the night with some ‘za after an evening of good friends and drinks. Niko got to talking with some guests, anddd they suggested a podcast episode be dedicated to pizza. So, HERE WE ARE! Pizza – what a complex topic. Thin or deep dish? Red or white? More saucy or cheesy? Can you get down and dirty with a chain, or are you a pizza connoisseur who has their local go-to hole-in-the-wall spot? Niko and Emily talk about some of the pizza hot spots in and around Pittsburgh, as well as some recommendations from you the listeners (no surprise – great minds think alike). They end by guessing each other’s ideal slice of pie. Let’s just say someone is more basic and someone is more boujie when it comes down to it. Also, is anyone up for a pizza tour? Asking for a friend…
