Hot Takes with Hot CakesMar 08, 2022
E24: Thirsting Over our Favorite Celebrities Once Again...
This week we are talking about the 6 degrees of separation we have, or don't have, from Kevin Bacon! Come along and find out what Em's favorite baby food flavor is, and which celebrity Marina's dad unknowingly called the cops on!

E23: Addressing the Drama... (feat. A Villain Origin Story Sandwich)
HA! Never said it was our drama....
We're back, baby! Join us this week as we catch up on what's been happening in our lives over the past two months! Our favorite Youtubers broke up and we debate the pros and cons of attending our high school reunion. Also, the topic is the evolution of friendships (more like "the evolution of two ADD stream of consciousnesses trying to stay focused but also catching up.")
Thank you to everyone who continued to listen to our show even during the hiatus. It means a lot that you are still active with our content even when it's been a while since we've contributed. We look forward to getting back to our normal schedule of Em posting way too late on Sundays!

DO NOT PANIC! (feat. Getting our Sh*t Together)
I repeat: DO NOT PANIC! Mo and Em have both made major moves to different places recently and, as a result, do not have their shit together. The podcast is on a brief break to give us some time to pre-record episodes so we can be more consistent for our dear listeners, and we will return within the next few weeks with some awesome new takes for everyone!
Please feel free to relisten to any of your favorite episodes in the meantime, and we look forward to gracing your ears when we return!

E22: Mo Whips Out Her Carrot and Other Adult Things
Short and sweet episode for you today, lovely listeners!
Mo and Em are in the thralls of adulthood as Mo cooks for herself and Em gets set to move to Chicago, so what better topic to cover this week than "adulting"! Em and her sister have an engagement ring strategy and Mo is actually 43 years old. Ekko also makes his presence known.

E21: How Not to be a Party Pooper (feat. A Party Renaissance)
Have you ever wondered what it's like to party? Well, so have we, so we did it and are now reporting back with our hot takes. Stay safe out there folks, have fun, but whatever you do, don't be the party pooper!

E20: Destroying Our Student Debt With A Trolley (feat. Blue Ibuprofen)
IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR THE MARTIAN EPISODE!
(Jk, just trying to get Mo's attention).
Join Em and Kris (aka Blue Ibuprofen) who is subbing in for Mo this week as they solve moral philosophy! Em kills a baby twice (accidentally) and Kris spoils yet another show over the course of a half hour (also accidentally). No one is safe, not even robots and lobsters. This week we're tackling Absurd Trolley Problems!

E19: Marina's Statute of Limitations and... Did You Just Say Incest?
Have you ever wondered if you were "that person?" Well, we're here to tell you that most likely you were "that person," but don't worry we've all been there. Listen to us rant about things we find annoying and, whatever you do, don't play Wonderwall for Marina. Stay til the end for a rollercoaster of a story that, yes, explains the title.

E18: Mo Says "Draft Me" (feat. Em's Smooth Brain)
Look who's back! And posting later than ever!
Marina has dubbed this the "Summer of Reboots and Sequels," so naturally we're going to talk all about them this week! Em has some spicy hot opinions about Spirited Away (which, ironically, are just as confusing and winding as she found the movie), and Mo brings the heat down on the new Star Wars and Jurassic World movies. Lion King 1/2 is given severely high praise, and Top Gun is NOT, in fact, a secretly gay movie.

Roe vs. Wade Response: Podcast Blackout
In response to the Roe vs. Wade ruling this past Friday, we've decided to suspend the release of this week's episode and opt to bring awareness to this tragedy by giving our listeners resources for themselves and their loved ones who may find themselves in need of an abortion in America.
As always, thank you for listening, and please stay safe.

E17: We ARE the Patriarchy and Our Most Chaotic Episode Yet
Honestly, we tried this week to give the Pride episode of our dreams, but Mercury was in retrograde so instead come experience what might be our most chaotic episode yet! Riddled with missing recordings, Ekko being the center of our attention, and of course us trying to eat dinner as well (excuse any eating noises)! Click the link below to follow us on all our socials! And join us this week for some hot takes with some very hot cakes!

E13: Em's Fixated on Fish Fillet Abs
WE GOTTA FEED JASON! Mo and Em dive into their top eight (not ten, for some reason) celebrity crushes! A lot of shade is thrown at Pete Davidson, and being a doctor on a TV show totally means you are a qualified medical professional in a zombie apocalypse. Speaking of which, stay to the end to hear Em and Marina create a zombie apocalypse survival team out of their lists.

E12: Release the Kush Lizard (feat. Flard Merriwether)
Welcome back everyone! Mo is out this week, but Em has her brother Ryan on as a temporary co-host and man, if you're only here for Mo this episode may not be for you. Be prepared to be hit with a one-two punch of Jennings rambling as Em and Ryan talk about... honestly couldn't tell you the topic of this episode. We think it's the woes of customer service. Ryan exposes Chick-Fil-A drive-throughs and Em doesn't look good in a baseball hat.
Follow us on Instagram and tell us how hot you think Ryan Reynolds is by emailing us at htwhcpodcast@gmail.com!

E11: We Should've Cut the Whole Episode
Bring your holy water ear drops today everyone, the Cusp Kids have some SPICY takes today on the socially acceptable/unacceptable. Em has found a video so foul that Mo made her cut the description from the episode, so everyone thank Mo for defending your sweet little ears. Creeps are everywhere and we continue to be your resource for money making tips (seriously, that's a joke.)

E10: Easily Em's Most Embarrassing Episode (feat. Mo Cringing Out of Her Mind)
