During the first half of the episode, Mackenzie asks quick questions that we've received from listeners over on Instagram. We talk about our favorite memories, our thoughts on the MCU, and more! In the second half of the episode, we were going to discuss some things that happened while we were in elementary and middle school. However, since we recorded the episode, there were developments in those scenarios which caused us to reassess when it would be best for us to talk about them in full detail. Instead, Jordan reads two poems she wrote about her time at that school. If you requested we speak on this topic, please know that we will at a later date when we can discuss everything in full, rather than in bits and pieces. We love you all!!
