Ever fed ducks bread? Or put a hamster on a wheel? How about given a kitten milk?

Remember MySpace? Who came up with the Top 8 - someone clueless or someone conniving? Also, did the internet shape us into the kind of society we are today because of what we were exposed to (in the bad way) or would it have happened anyway. And lastly, Cassie and Davi discover they both know a certain type of person...and have a theory EVERYONE has one of these in their "friend" roster.

We're sorry to be the ones to tell you, but half of your friends hate you. So that anxiety you're feeling when you think everyone doesn't like you (just us?)...it's kinda real. Don't hate us, science says so. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Davi has to issue a retraction to something she said on a previous episode, do you know your dueling differences + Gen Z is bringing back these trends and we'd very kindly like them to NOT. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode, suicide is discussed as part of a conversation surrounding mental health. In this episode, we ask the hard questions: were we all stupid in high school or is it just us? Is it a bad idea to mix friend groups? And finally, Cassie gets a reason why it's SUPER annoying when you ask about someone's tattoos...but there's one tattoo in particular you should know about. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, toll free at 1-800-273-8255.

They sell some INSANE stuff at Costco, there's a HUGE secret stockpile of cheese hidden underground, we have questions for people who worked at Abercrombie + Cassie found some footage from what looks like a Congressional hearing that TERRIFIED her...let's just say the words "flesh eating" and "other worldly strength" were used.

Do you know the origin story of witches riding on broomsticks? It's a little more scandalous than you might think...plus, what "eye of newt" REALLY means when it comes to witches' positions. Also, is it possible for birds to sound like humans or is what one man hearing in the brush when he's all alone something way more dangerous?

Davi's having some renovations done to her house and *of course* she would pick the color Pennywise - LIKE THE CLOWN - for the color. And maybe it was bad luck, but that's when things started going wrong... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's a rare serious episode of Broadly Speaking. In light of the recent gun massacres in Uvalde, Texas at Robb Elementary and in Buffalo (and the countless mass shootings and massacres before that happened in the United States), we share concrete, tangible ways that you can help. If we want to see change, then we are ALL going to have to take action. It's on every single one of us who's feeling grief over the senseless and brutal loss of life this Country has seen. As always, we also encourage you to do your own research, but we understand it can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming, especially if your heart is breaking with grief like ours are, so we'll break down exactly who to call and exactly what you need to ask for. Even if you don't listen to this episode, we encourage you to download the 5 Calls app - a free app that will connect you with political issues you care about (including gun reform) and will give you the phone numbers to the reps you need to call along with an exact script on what to say. It's time for us to come together and turn our raw grief and pain into doing something to address the problem. It's our Country, and it's time we spoke up and told our leaders to do something. Our kids, our families, our neighbors, our friends deserve better. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
