88. Steve Issues

This week Erika and Dan pass the buck and have two guests carry the episode for them. Returning guest Kevin and new to the podcast universe, The Big Ragu are here broadcasting live from our secure mountain base in The Skook. We talk all things Central PA, gambling, scheming, and deep historical lore. Doff your cap to your podcast overlords. // Listen to our SEPTEMBER playlist: https://spoti.fi/3cr2J1D, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

87. Tomb of the Unperceived Soldier (Live from The Skook)

Dan and Erika are joined by longtime friend of the pod famous actor Steven Yeun and the trio discuss absolutely nothing. It's an inside baseball kinda ep—still a little burnt out on global events. Check in next week when we get more spoons. // Listen to our SEPTEMBER playlist: https://spoti.fi/3cr2J1D, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @LilDimSum69/@not_pandapanhandle, @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

86. The Reddest Flag of All ft. Steven Yeun

Erika revisits her past. Dan has a lot of thoughts about FBOY ISLAND. For not having a lot to talk about this week, we talk about a lot—call that the podcaster grindset. // Listen to our AUGUST playlist: https://spoti.fi/3ye3mEp, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

85. Norwegian Black Polka

Dan finds himself in the foulest of moods. Erika sees a false flag. TALIBAN, Canva and the Sackler family, TALIBAN, TALIBAN, #FreeBritney, forbidden ice cream formations, TALIBAN. // Listen to our AUGUST playlist: https://spoti.fi/3ye3mEp, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

84. The Canva Industrial Complex

Erika is beefing with Blackstone and the art community. Dan hosts an eleven-pizza affair. We're slowly being consumed by the void, but what else is new? // Listen to our AUGUST playlist: https://spoti.fi/3ye3mEp, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

83. You Sucketh My Melons

Dan is done having an opinion on anything. Erika is cruising for a wellness check. The podcast might be taking a turn—you should just listen to be a part of history at this point. (For better or for worse.) // Erika's article about quitting therapy on Broke But Moisturized's newsletter: https://bit.ly/3j3YQSP // Listen to our AUGUST playlist: https://spoti.fi/3ye3mEp, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR. 

82. Mental Health Goth

Erika's doing a Deadlist Catch thing and searching for solace in the arms of a crabman. Dan goes up against the longest-running Italian festival in the United States. We are done consuming without levity: all my homies hate consuming without levity. // Listen to our July playlist: https://spoti.fi/3dX1ec6, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

81. Unfettered Girlboss Behavior

A "Lost" Episode. The audio sucks. Erika's internet shits the bed 15 minutes in and we trudge on via cellular. Dan's patience wears thin. Erika is chased by a wasp. We repeat some things discussed in Episode 80. We all have maybe 10 years left. // Listen to our July playlist: https://spoti.fi/3dX1ec6, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

79.5 BONUS It's Bad!

Dan now has the trifecta. Erika finds herself on an adjacent mountain. What do we think of the Punk Goes Crunk compilation? // Listen to our July playlist: https://spoti.fi/3dX1ec6, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

80. One Way Mountain

Erika releases a particularly sinister take out into the world. Dan becomes a father. We're back at it with a whole lot of cringe and discourse you might wish you never heard. // Listen to our July playlist: https://spoti.fi/3dX1ec6, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

79. My Favorite Meat is Hot Dog

RIP to a real one. Here's a bonus episode about the life and lore of John McAfee, featuring brother of the pod: DOUG. // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @dougicares, @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

78. BONUS John McAfee & His Hammock ft. Doug

Dan shares some music that's aged poorly. Erika just wants to get back to discourse. We're joined by Jordan Usatch as we discuss deathcore, 2007 and its implications on modern culture, intersectional sex trafficking, and more. // Follow on Twitter + Instagram: @jordanusatch & @husbandrynyc, @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR.

76. The Twelve O'Clock Boys in Blue

Erika is messy again. (Mashallah.) Dan is holding it together after another trip to the Skook. Leave your hangups in West Virginia, put on your burkini, and and jump off the high dive at Knoebels. // Listen to our June playlist: https://spoti.fi/3cr2J1D, follow on Twitter + Instagram: @anicelifepod, @ByzantineBarbie/@emricchini, @danbassini, and join our cult—I mean FB group: http://bit.ly/2XPaZAR. 

75. Gaytheon

Jaded by subculture, corrupted by the internet, and always tired, two NYC creatives try to figure out how to have a nice life.
