This week we're jumping into the lure of zeitgeist romance content and relationship expectations, the remnants of our former evangelical faith showing up in surprising ways and how...Princess Diana would have been a TikTok sensation.

It's our last episode before we take a Summer recess so that can only mean that our conversation is all over the place. We're talking the unending benefits of having friends with a pool, bandwagons and being scammed.  If you don't want to miss out on any fun, we'll be over on our Patreon during our recess with extra eps, pop ins, videos and more! Join us over there for the summer at  www.patreon.com/makinganeffortpodcast - if not, we'll see you back here in August!

Ok, just a heads up, maybe don't listen to this one out in the open air or at work or with little ears around! Gabs has a blinder of a story, and we have a listener story as well.
