On this week's episode... Mike and I worked from home (WFH) and discovered who the more annoying co-worker really is, I learned why I need to protect my identity on Reddit and what doxxing actually is (and how I kinda, sorta doxed someone 10+ years ago), the latest vegan propaganda film we watched on Netflix and how it sparked us to make more diet changes, and we're FINALLY PLANNING OUR WEDDING (*in my Oprah voice)! 

We share the process of planning our wedding, why we waited nearly 1.5 years to start, why I won't be changing my last name, our decision to keep separate bank accounts and how we're approaching discussing finances!

Just The Tip Podcast: Episode 8 - My Neighbor Towed My Car, Game of Thrones is Back, Beyoncé Took All of our Edges and Mike Discusses Workplace Love Languages

Y'all this week has been a doozy! I came home to find my car had been stolen TOWED BY MY NEIGHBOR (down the street) because I parked within 5 feet of their driveway. Yes, that's a real thing! I just learned that in the city of Seattle you can't park within 5 feet of someone's driveway (or a curb). Like, this applies to ALL driveways and curbs even when there isn't any paint calling out any restrictions. In a city of mainly transplants, how the eff is anyone supposed to just know that!!

While the police don't normally ticket for this type of thing... especially in this crowded ass city... if a neighbor calls in a complaint then they will issue a violation. Basically, Petty with a capital P. So, yeah... $272 later, I have my car back, a court date, and advice from the Circuit Court of Seattle that I should "also call and get my neighbor's car towed" - which nearly makes my head spin!

What else - Game of Thrones is back, so we bit the bullet and added it back to Hulu. Anyone else feel pained adding HBO for an extra $14.99/mo? Just us? Oh, okay lol...

We also pose the question: How do you tell your upstairs neighbor that you don't appreciate being woken up at 3a by the loud sounds of them getting their back blown out... without sounding like a hater? Like, sis... I'm all for you catching an Orgasm, but like, 3am really? Oh - this is also the neighbor I thought died... so yeah, should I just continually catch this L? Should I wear ear plugs? Should I bang on the ceiling? I need your suggestions!

Do you know your workplace love language? Mike is reading a book for work and breaks down how to show your co-workers you appreciate them.

Just The Tip Podcast: Episode 1 - A micro-sized podcast (because sometimes size matters)

In a world of diminishing attention-span, Just The Tip* is a micro-sized podcast that entertains without holding you hostage. Join hosts Ishea and Mike each week for their often humorous, always millennial take on "the tip" of what is happening in culture. Each episode is never more than 15 minutes because let's be honest... sometimes size really does matter.

Recap: TLC's "90 Day Fiancé" - Season 6 Episode 8

Isn't it funny how you start a post and then forget to hit "publish" lol... well, that's what happened to this episode of the podcast! Super (duper) crazy late, but enjoy!

Recap: TLC's "90 Day Fiancé" - Season 6 Episodes 5 & 6

Is it possible for an episode to be both late and early? Well, yes! Last week we took some time off to be lazy and enjoy the holiday and didn't record (or watch) 90 Day Fiancé ... then did a marathon last night watching 2 episodes back-to-back!

We also used all of our learnings from our recap of episode 4 (#NeverForget) and cranked out a recap that was much shorter, higher energy, minimal tangents... just an all-around improvement.

Mike has preferred to keep some mystery around whether the couples are together or not in real life, but my twitter fingers have been busy (well, mainly on IG) and I know the tea on a few rumors:

1) Larissa has 3 kids back in Brazil
2) Leida and Eric were already married (in Indonesia) prior to filming
3) Larissa and Colt were the only couple that didn't film the reunion tell-all

So, what did you think of last night's episode? Who do you love? Who are you over?

We forgot to include our favs this week - but I'm rooting for Larissa to get a "biggie" car that has air conditioning and hoping Asuelu gets airfare $ to pack up his shit and go back to Samoa because Kalani is miserable and annoying af.

Recap: TLC's "90 Day Fiance" - Season 6 Episode 4

This episode of the podcast is called "Do better next time..."

Everyone says when you start podcasting there is no way around some of the tough lessons you'll have to learn. There's no way around having some of your first episodes low-key sucking or being high-key trash. Well, it finally happened to us. Our low energy +  talking too slow... and too long... made for a not so great episode. Ugh. It's so annoying. I could barely listen to the full episode, but Mike made me. After both of saying "yikes" and cringing lol, considering it a lesson learned! If you can make it through the episode, bless your heart. Start at the 6:10 mark.

Major takeaways:
1) Keep the episodes a LOT shorter. We'll only spend 2 mins TOPS on each couple
2) Only record if we have high energy. Nobody wants to hear us sound like we're running underwater.
3) Don't get lost down a tangent. Make sure there's a point to whatever we're saying because those long ass stories that lead nowhere and add nothing are for the birds.

Recap: TLC's "90 Day Fiance" - Season 6 Episode 2

This week's episode recap is super late, but finally LIVE! For anyone else who watches the show OnDemand or Live, HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR SANITY WITH ALL OF THE COMMERCIALS?!?!?! No, seriously. This is a real question. The constant commercial breaks are killing me slowly. Mike and I have decided to either pirate episodes (Sorry TLC) OR turn the commercial breaks into a game where we do squats, planks, crunches, etc... anything to make it more productive and bearable.

Recap: TLC's "90 Day Fiance" - Season 6 Episode 1 (Part 2)

Mike and I finished watching part 2 of Episode 1 and are blessing the internet with our thoughts! We received some great feedback from my bae and work wife (Hey Shavonne!) saying that we needed to "stop referencing our notes and just say the thing" lol... so we're doing that. Take a listen and let me know what you thought about the episode.

Random, but why in the world is TLC making everyone die a slow death with ALL of the commercials?!?! I mean, damn. Maybe I've been spoiled by paying for ad-free experiences on Hulu and Spotify, but being forced to stream episodes on the TLC app (which are damn near 1/3 commercials) has been taxing. Also... I understand that I'm streaming episodes using someone else's login, so the fact I'm complaining about anything is already a joke. Still, I hate all of the commercials.

Recap: TLC's "90 Day Fiance" - Season 6 Episode 1 (Part 1)

I somehow convinced my fiancé Mike to not only watch the new season of TLC's #90DayFiance with me... but also podcast about the show each week! This is a big deal for 2 reasons: 1) I absolutely LOVE reality TV and became obsessed with Season 5 of #90DayFiance after a girlfriend (Hey Brit!) put me on... and 2) Mike absolutely HATES reality TV and most things about pop culture... but he loves me, so we're watching and dishing on each episode.

This is a guilty pleasure for many people, so please listen to our recap of Season 6 Episode 1 (Part 1) and let me know which couples you love, loathe and who you think is about to get scammed Joanne style!

Disclaimer:  I don't know what this will turn into, but am happy to be creating something with my favorite person. We're keeping things easy and fun, so please forgive any inklings that scream out "low budget" lol... our little podcast is a work in progress, so leave any feedback because things will only get better!
