  • #252: Fettuccini Alfredo is Gross, Turnt Things In My Neighborhood & Marsh Won’t Take Her Vitamins
    Mar 14 2026

    Maya gets a new jacket, and it’s everything. Gen X never thought we’d have to go through all this shit. Enough with the unprecedented times. We thought life was going to be war and disaster-free. Maybe because we lived through the Cold War, which desensitized the shit out of us. Also, living in Minneapolis has been a real ride. Is Maya Padma Lakshmi’s biggest fan? Amy thinks so.
