Welcome to Downerville!

Samie and Emily are here to help lower your expectations on November 5. And even though they had two weeks of stuff to cover, they still managed to have a shorter podcast than Joe Rogan. Samie guilts Emily into watching depressing documentaries and weird, scary shows and movies because they might just be masochists, and Emily shares her real-life humiliations, frustrations, and fears.  If you’re a rural, suburban, or urban voter, you just may identify with Samie’s great home and life tips or Emily’s over-the-top complaints. Together, they attempt to sprinkle a dash of positivity into the mix, relying on astrology, therapy, and the comedic stylings of Will Ferrell. But let's be real—even Michelle Obama’s latest pep talk couldn’t lift their spirits about this year’s fourth quarter. So, Gary, for the love of God, can you please get your shit together. Tis’ the season! Scorpio season. Enjoy. VOTE WA! - For all things voting in Washington State!
