Oh goodness, another week of quarantine and Dawn is feeling it. Stuck in front of a computer all day only to try to socialize on the computer. It leaves a person a bit stir crazy. This week we try to come to terms with our new reality and look for a beacon of hope. Scott just got himself a covid gift and Dawn gets to listen to a yappy dog. Let us know how you're doing at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 169 - Quarantine Ennui

This week we want to know how to talk about what gets you off with your partner. It can be an awkward and embarrassing conversation that leaves you vulnerable. We have a couple tips that may help. We also delve into vacation poops (because what's an episode without some fecal matter) and being indiscriminately farty. Let us know how you're doing at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 168 - Let's Talk about Sex (with our partners)

This week we wonder how people sustain rage for longer than a minute. We've seen people rage, and perhaps have raged ourselves, but how do people keep up that level of rage before common sense takes over? Before we get to the important bits, we discuss popcorn needs, Scott's prison life, and Chipotle expectations. Let us know how you are doing at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 167 - Raging

This week we talk about how technology in the past 30 years has changed our language or if it even has. How long has it been since you've waltzed into a room and asked "a/s/l"? Let us know what your favorite tech related words have been at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 166 - Technology and Language

This week Scott and Dawn give a few tips on being isolated. This was recorded at the beginning of all these shenanigans and more than a bit might be prophetic. If you're too the point where you're about to smear feces on the wall and throw it at passers-by, slow down, take a seat and listen carefully. You're going to be okay. We're in this together folks. Let us know if you need a bit of virtual company and we'll do our best to help out at contact@originstories.fyi. Need an online AA meeting? Check this out: https://beta.aa-intergroup.org/

Episode 165 - Isolation Tips

In the times of COVID-19 we think cruise ships suck. Now that we have that off our chests, let's talk about chests! Boobies have our attention this week. We discuss why they are attractive (or not) and what draws us to them. Is it because they embody all that is safe and nurturing or is it just because all that testosterone makes some of us boob crazy? Let us know how you're doing at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 164 - Boobies!

Welcome to another week of many questions. How many sheet sets should you have? How tacky is it to mend holes in said sheets? Does Dawn have snaggle toes? All that AND we discuss the creative spark. Do people just have that extra something special, can it be learned, or is it just magic? Let's forget about the problems of the world a moment and just lounge in the nonsense.

Episode 163 - Creative Spark

It's another dreaded fifth Tuesday! We'll see you with a new episode next week!

Week off

What is the ideal body type? We discuss this as we ponder all things body image. We wonder how we decide what image to put forth to the world and why are people so gross. Stay with us for a jump to why birthdays are celebrated once a year. It seems to be an arbitrary marker to Scott. As always stuffy noses and farting must be contemplated. Let us know how you are holding up at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 162 - Body Image and Birthday Celebrations

Welcome to this week's episode recorded a few weeks ago, that is timely and a tiny bit prescient. We discuss a little virus that was then just emerging and we were already getting a bit worried.

Episode 161 - Our Contribution to COVID-19

This week before we get into the real topic of Consumerism, Scott tells us about a bad dream he had that kept him from sleeping well. When we finally get to the main topic, Dawn laments the disconnect between capitalism and taking care of our people, Scott geeks out on economics, and how insecurity feeds the system. Let us know what you think Scott's dream means at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 160 - Consumerism

Welcome to a discussion of why AI makes Scott feel uncomfortable and the American-ness of cars and the open road. Dawn shares a part of her past that shocks Scott and Scott shares a new butt trick he learned. Let us know if AI sentience makes you uncomfortable and why at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 159 - Uncomfortable AI and Road Trips

How do we know when we are too old for something? Is it okay to date an 18 year old when you are 35? Should you retire at 70? What's the age that you stop waxing? Listen as Dawn and Scott contemplate the end of things they enjoy. Let us know when you are going to stop playing games with our hearts at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 158 - When Are You Too Old?

Welcome to this week's talk of the almighty bidet and plans for the apocalypse. Scott can't stop singing the praises of a clean butt and is still trying to convince Dawn to convert. But then thoughts turn to what might happen to our bottoms when there are no more modern conveniences. Who will survive this future disaster?! (hint: it's probably not Dawn) Let us know what you think our last names should be at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 157 - Bidet Life and the Apocalypse

Scott has a mathematical consumer problem that can't be solved. Dawn is exhausted and is not sure how her job can make her so tired. Then we end up discussing the reason that Dawn has to make the "right" decisions for her simulated world building games. How broken is she? Let us know at contact@originstories.fyi.

Episode 156 - Exhaustion and Empathy
