Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis week’s episode of So THIS Happened is one for the books — partly because Jen and Rachel recorded the entire thing while wearing sunglasses… and switching pairs mid-convo. Pure chaos? Maybe. But make it fashion.☀️ In this episode:Rachel reflects on her much-needed recharge and the underrated power of doing nothingJen recaps her first-ever 4th of July in Wichita (baseball + fireworks = 💥)The girls rave about local bluegrass band Pretend Friend and Wichita's pizza scene — including the frozen-but-fabulous LMNO Pizza and a mysterious pizza trailer that stole their heartsThey dive headfirst into a Swipe or Cheers game — and things get spicy (tarantulas, twin flames, speakerphones, and AI-generated DMs… what could go wrong?)A deeper chat about times they’ve knowingly or unknowingly been the villain in someone else’s story (spoiler: it gets real)Exciting hints about upcoming events, podcast glow-ups, and why they need your feedback💬 Topics you’ll love:Can you use AI to break up with someone? (Turns out: yes.)Should reptiles even be pets?The double-edged sword of being “too sunshiny”High school drama, Braums ice cream, and the audacity of teenage boys🎧 Listener Note: If you’re tuning in on audio-only, let us know! A lot of this episode is visual (whiteboards, sunglasses, etc), so we’d love your feedback on how to better tailor each experience.🕶️ Whether you’re here for the storytelling, the sass, or the random sunglasses swaps — this episode will have you cracking up, cringing (just a little), and maybe reflecting on your own inner villain arc.00:00 Introduction and Cheers00:13 Reflecting on the Week00:56 Work-Life Balance Discussion04:42 Podcast Introduction06:16 4th of July and Local Events09:18 Pizza Talk15:09 Game Time: Swipe or Cheers25:54 Toxic Relationships and Moving On26:10 Public Speakerphone Etiquette31:31 AI in Dating Apps40:45 Being the Villain in Someone's Story54:48 Upcoming Plans and Viewer Feedback📲 Like, share, comment, and subscribe — because chaos is better with company.Support the show
