Everyone seems to be looking back at 2016—not because things were good, but because something changed after it. In this episode, Liam and Michael reflect on where they were in 2016, how they met, and how much they’ve grown by 2026.

They unpack why nostalgia is everywhere right now, why it feels comforting in a moment where politics, human rights, the economy, and constant online noise have pushed many of us into burnout and why looking backward can’t be the place we stay.

The conversation moves through collective exhaustion, fried dopamine, late-stage capitalism, and the pressure to keep going when everything feels heavy, alongside what they’ve been watching, loving online, and how they’re trying to push forward anyway.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, nostalgic, or quietly asking yourself why everything feels different lately—you’re not alone.

We’re talking church culture, religious trauma, and the absurdity of growing up evangelical—from mass baptisms to the rules we weren’t allowed to question.

This episode spirals through irreverent theology, falling from grace, and unlearning fear with humor instead of guilt. God is non-binary, religion is drag, and salvation feels suspiciously like a bulk deal.

Not a sermon. Definitely not church-approved.

This week was a full yap session.

We're talking full ADHD energy, bringing whimsy back, nerve pain, trauma, being more straight-forward, and the things we've been watching lately–all with our usual out-of-pocket honesty.

Welcome all microbangs and bi women (and their boyfriends).

We talk about the things that aren't funny and probably need to be checked–and then immediately prove we have no control.

New episodes every week.

2025 changed us—and not in the way we expected.

In this episode, we look back on the year with honesty, humor, and a few confessions we didn’t plan on making. What started with revisiting an old journal entry turns into a real conversation about growth, self-discovery, intention, and what it actually took to get here.

We talk about what challenged us, what we avoided, what finally clicked, and how those lessons are shaping the way we’re entering 2026. It’s reflective without being heavy, vulnerable without being self-serious, and still very us.

A high-energy, feel-good reset for the new year—with laughs, real talk, and a little emotional whiplash.

A very special, very gay, holiday episode.

Liam and Michael sing carols, discuss our "bad holiday movie" guilty pleasures and Christmas nostalgia—the good, the weird, and the traumatic...

We talk being queer during the holidays, end-of-year brain rot, being online, and what we actually want from Santa this year. Cozy chaos, unserious debates, a little trauma, and a lot of joy. Grab a Christmas cookie and pull up a chair.

Holiday travel makes everything worse. Liam & Michael are not well and stressed—navigating freezing weather, crowded airports, and coughing strangers—all while trying to stay festive.

In this episode of OOP, we rant about holiday travel chaos, winter cold, the “are we okay?” spiral, internet culture rotting our brains, and share life updates, passport horror stories, and other stressful stories. If you get it, you get it.

Growing up queer was the prequel, but art school? That's the final boss. In this week’s episode, Liam & Michael unpack how learning real history, philosophy, and theory (aka the stuff public school trims out) fully rewired our brains.

We get into politics, AI panic, and why we’re both academically enlightened and chronically spiraling—all with the humor of two exhausted jesters who somehow graduated.

If you’ve ever wondered why the art kids turned out like this...consider this our chaotic book report.

Liam and Michael dive into Stranger Things Season 5—Karen’s wine-bottle moment, Will Byers entering his demon-tw*nk era, and everything we’re fully gooning over before the new episodes drop.

Plus, honest reviews of everything else we’ve been watching: Wicked For Good, Frankenstein, and a chaotic grab bag of movies, memes, and life updates.

Pull up a seat, grab a snack, and join us for laughs, chaos, and unapologetic pop culture obsession.
