4.9 The Brave Little Grilled Cheese

Maddie and her therapist get creative with their vulnerability exercises which results in a Grilled Cheese from the Great Beyond. Meanwhile, Annie recaps a night at Tofu Tofu, named twice because one Tofu wanted a friend. In the grand scheme of things, we’re all single soy products looking for our fellow single soy products; we’re all pieces of bread looking to adhere ourselves to another piece of a bread with a gooey, cheesy bond between us.

4.8 Just Another Semantic Monday

I wish it was Friday - my have a big ol’ cry day. Annie and Maddie do some deep healing as Maddie tries to figure out how to stop being the selfless Mother Teresa that she is. She’s off to a good start as she plays with a dog instead of listening to ANYTHING Annie says on this episode. As Annie speaks into the void about her ~emotional problems,~ Maddie chimes in only to go over Annie’s language use with a fine tooth comb. This is how we brush through the messy rats’ nests of our lives; that and we’re starting a band called The Tangles.

4.7 The Lesbian Standoff

A cultural inquiry into the patriarchal structures that perpetuate the most disastrous of all romantic scenarios, aka The Lesbian Standoff. For the first time in four years, Maddie pays attention to the hard-won insights Annie has into being a single gay. For the first time in four years, Annie flushes the toilet on the podcast. It all started with an Adele CD, the world’s ugliest photo, and that pool party that you couldn’t invite Janis Ian to because there would be girls there in their bikinis.

4.6 Annie's Confession

Annie and Maddie stumble over their words in an obvious come down from the high of last week’s special guest, Miranda.

We talk about friendship and unconditional love, and Annie’s face catches on lit.er.al. fire as we uncover the truth about a high school relationship. Is this a classic lesbian standoff? Will Annie and Maddie ever hug again? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Like and subscribe to find out.

4.5 Such a Miranda

And then I thought to myself, what if gender is a construct? What if sex is just something the medical community is trying to hold up on a pedestal and force on people at birth? What if this saga in the West Village should be called Gender Identity and the City? What if that’s enough? Annie Krabbshaw and Samaddie Jones check in with their friend Miranda (they/them) to talk queerness, gender, coming out and more. Miranda is a gift to all that get to call them a friend, and an even greater force in the fight against the patriarchy. Charlotte didn’t come because I honestly forgot that fourth gal’s name until I looked it up on the internet.

4.4 This is the Story of a Girl, part 2

…who shamelessly plugs herself at every opportunity, but is having a hard time getting a word in because her best friend can’t stop talking about a breakup that happened a whole four WEEKS ago. In this episode, watch as the beta gay tries to outmaneuver the alpha for air time - bragging about book length, reminiscing about glory days, and - oops, the alpha’s mom walked in to dominate the air waves in a well-deserved cameo. Game, set, match.

4.3 This is the Story of a Girl, part 1

…who cried a river and recorded it for a wide audience. Our wonderful friend Maddie is still reeling in the aftermath of her breakup but she still finds a way to find gratitude, experience joy, and alienate all of our listeners by calling them homophobic (find out what you can do to convince her otherwise!). She’s doing so great, and is showering alone now, much to Annie’s great relief.

4.1 Broken Record

Well, friends, Annie and Maddie are back to their usual antics. If it sounds like you’ve heard this episode before, it’s probably because life is a series of stops and starts, and we’re only in our twenties and we have no idea how to be functional humans. Maddie is back from the tour of a lifetime, and Annie is back from her brief time as a normal adult. There will be tales of music, art, self-loathing, and, you know it, heartbreak. Discovering the secret to balanced living is the designated story arc of this season; keep listening to KNOW THE TRUTH.

3.15 Tour de Breakup

We end this season almost exactly as we began - talking tours and break ups. Maddie is set to embark on another month long journey opening for KT Tunstall, and she only has a mild case of neurotic fatalism. Meanwhile, Annie is FINE with her break up(s). She’s right back where she’s most comfortable - alone and proud. After starting this season with a dream of writing a book and wearing a suit, Annie ends this season right when her suit is ready and her book editor says, “we made the right choice.” Maddie is still happy with her girlfriend. Not much has changed there.
