In what might be our most feral episode ever, we talk about what to do when your friend goes viral (answer: think about it endlessly). Also, French Mani shaming, famous people in book clubs, corn cobs...the new wipes? and country music-splaining. 
What we're wearing, what we're into, what we're anxious about and listener questions.

In this week's ep: mythic friendships, Raising Hare, and ankle chaffing. Sara takes on Olive Garden, Morgan drinks out of colorful straws, makes fluffy desserts, and more micro fun. First celebrity crushes, neck braces, first concerts, what we're into, what we're worried about, and what we REALLY think about AI. Listen in!

Season 4 of That’s the Spirit is here!
Why getting dressed can feel existential, murder in the cereal aisle, the great Midwestern duck sweater of 2026, and seeing a famous person at a writing festival. What to do when you're happier to see a friend than they are, laughing at a funderal,  and absurd emoji-ing. 
What we're into, what we're worried about, where we've been and our outfits of the week.
We're back! Let's get stupid.
