"We might not have a Rolex, but we do have pens and a laundry folding invention."  Oops. Spoilers.  First and foremost, we must apologize for the delayed start of Spirit Month. You're hurt. We're hurt. It's a tragedy that we can chalk up to technical difficulties. Never fear. We did manage to salvage the intro. from the shoulda-coulda-woulda been episode, so that you can have the visual description of our festive fits. This week, we decided to do as the gentleman (and the occasional women) do, and share the coveted essentials that keep the inflatable raft that is C&D Headquarters afloat. Stay tuned for portrayals of multiple men in media, flex culture criticisms, and hypothetical interactions with celebrities.  What's more essential than an oil?

Goodbye Summer. Hello Fall.  This week, we're letting loose and seamlessly spilling the juice on all things Spirit Month. We're talking Connecticut characters, boppy boy bands, trading places and so much more. No spending. Only closet pieces and DIY-able items allowed. Don't go, boo. It's time for another year of fall festivities.  The rhyme was once cheese jerky, but now it's definitely cheese Berkey.

Well, are you? Look, feeling resentment of your stepchildren, spouse or in-laws does automatically make you the Billie Eilish Bag Guy™️, but you might be if you abide by Christmas card terms. This week, we took a little dive into the AITA subreddit to answer one question and one question alone. Take a deep breath as we wade through stories of adult issues of abandonment, husbands who should hush, and banishment by baby name.  Shhhh. It's a secret. What are you keeping from yourself?

This week we had the absolute privilege of watching Addison Rae's first-ever film debut featuring a Peloton endorsement from the founder of Poosh, Miss Kourtney Kardashian ermmmm Jessica Miles Torres (of no relation to Callie). What a blessing. Don't go changing. Stick around for the Disney channel tape that should've never been, Scooby dooby doo cameos, and poorly placed photography equipment.  An opinionated girly chooses social media quiz for a curious girly to find out that her results are on brand.

We are back with our sixth installment of the Writers' Room! If there's one thing we can't stand in teen television is the absence or complete lack of parental figures. We're all about independence, but somebody's gotta be paying these bills. This week we picked some mamas, papas, meemaws, and peepaws to keep our Vermontonian youth in line. As per usual, we had to incorporate our signature generators to get the creativity train chugging along. We generated names, occupations, education levels, and general relationships. Stay tuned for ritzy backstories, twins overcoming jealousy, and moms making the bread.  We gave our characters fictional parents. Now, it's time we got some of our own.  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/2WVtbvH  Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll  IG: Coming Soon!

"It is a game piece. It is communal."  This week, we watched the final installment of . . . well, you know. We waited all this time just to have Molly Ringwald give the advice that we've been screaming for two movies. "Do what's right for you, bestie." Just a mom to the motherless doing her daily duties. As the Kissing Booth series comes to a close (and on a time jump at that) we comment on poor real estate decisions, mind-numbing MarioKart sequences, and flop-air haircuts.  A wine mom and a washed-up influencer buy beach houses.

Stupid Cupid is no more. Mandy’s gone modern.  If you’ve followed us for a while, you may be familiar with our beloved Mandy Moore In A Horror Movie?!? series. This week, we're getting in touch with tech to discover that we're visual learners. Four categories, five emojis. Easy peasy, right? Data messaging rates may apply, but please don't text no to stop an episode of men messing up, series never stopping and tunes tripping us up.  Pining for Olivia Rodrigo?

On behalf of everyone listening, we deeply apologize that this week's episode sounds like it was recorded in a tattoo parlor.  Tattoos? Commitment? Marriage?  What happens when a Pogue 4 Life™️ proposes to a renounced Kook? The answer is near-death experiences and plenty of resurrections to go around. We're back in the OBX for the tail-end of summer and what more could we want than a little sun-damaged skin and wrongful convictions.

This week, we're dusting off the old, five-paragraph essay writing skills in the second (and possibly final installment) of our TCAP series. Can a couple of WWWs (Women Who Write) do it? They can! Though the grading rubric may have changed, we definitely think our masterpiece deserves a high score of 4. Get your brainstorming bubble maps ready, and stick around for competitive kindness, celebrity name dropping, and the despair of a third-grader seeking validation for her actions.

An affinity for animated bears, a bracelet bringing back middle school memories, and a credit request for a concept album.  We're keeping the description short and sweet, just like the six-episode first season of "The 4400."

Who wants to be a millionaire? A billionaire? A kajillionaire? This week, we live out our game show dreams and play our own version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and figure out who's the fave fan or fake fan. We may not have Regis Philbin hosting, but we do have Reba, who loves her kids and never stops, on our side. Stay tuned for an updated Gilmore Girls recap and discussion, debating B&W Tumblr-era music groups, and odd, but fitting, independent movie titles. The first woman to win "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" answered these 15 questions correctly. We didn't get very far, but can you?

In this week's episode, we provide a little precursor for all the college folks entering the wonderful world of dorming. Sharing space. Sharing clothes. Sharing lives? We watched "The Roommate," starring almost every starlet of the early to mid-2000s that graced the small screen. Who knew freshman year could get murderous? And where were the legal repercussions?

C&D After Dark is back for one night only for a discussion of not-so-late-night bites. We've got mid-day munchies and afternoon noms in our second quarterly Seamless & Themeless episode. Stick around because your order is almost up as your favorite Coney Burger co-hosts share no-shame Sonic orders, peruse the Mystic Grill menu, and talk far-fetched Twilight travel plans.  Can you assemble the dream team of fictional chefs to get that perfect rating?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/3hbYSrT Also Mentioned:  Sonic Shirts: https://bit.ly/3wf3x0v Disney Channel Original Groupies: https://apple.co/3jDSj32 Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll  IG: Coming Soon!

"Oh . . . she got a 'B.' Let's kill her." This week's watch gives Jubilee's "Odd Man Out" series a run for its money. We made it through another movie from Tayla's era of independent films only. "Circle" is a lethal social experiment, not to be confused with the similarly-named Emma Watson movie or the Netflix dating show. Just because its round doesn't mean there's no edge. (Ew.) Stick around for social issues, moral dilemmas, and below principal's list grades. One of us is a survivor. The other is not.  How long would you last in the apocalypse?

We're back at it again babes! This week we’re putting out the second part of our "P is for Places" episode. We couldn't leave the odd numbered episodes neglected, now could we? We're once again granting you access to a little sneak peak of our locked Pinterest board and all of the ~ vibes ~ that come with it. We randomly generated some settings, color palettes, and design characteristics to set the scene for our remaining five episodes. Stay tuned for bad dreams, poor customer service, and deviating from the plot.  I don't agree with the results of this quiz.  - The C of C & D What fictional friend group do you belong in?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/3gHIkI9 P is for Pictures of Places: https://bit.ly/3gJ93Ek Previous Writers’ Room Episodes: Writers’ Room Vol. 1: https://bit.ly/2Iiofto Writers’ Room Vol. 2: https://bit.ly3qAAp24 Writers’ Room Vol. 3: https://bit.ly/3b1rjW Writers’ Room Vol. 4: https://bit.ly/3wv5Ixk Writers' Room Vol. 5: https://bit.ly/3zHY7hF

One, two, three. Eyes on me! Alright  . . . it's time to take our TCAP tests. Life is just a classroom, and in this week's episode, that's exactly where we're headed. If you live in the state of Tennessee and were in school before 2015, you may remember taking the Tennessee Comprehensive Learning Program assessment at the end of each year. We certainly do. Peppermints for brain power and stretching routines to alleviate anxiety were all a part of the process. Now that we're both college grads, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to see what we do and don't remember from third grade. Stick around for heartfelt reading passages, forgotten math properties, and trick questions.  Take The TCAP Yourself: https://bit.ly/3iiBha5 Do you remember middle school you?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/2T7Q78U Also Mentioned:  Teamwork Makes The Dream Work: https://bit.ly/3itrBcC School Days K-6: https://bit.ly/3is153H Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll IG: Coming Soon!

Can you tell we've been on the Olivia Rodrigo train? Full steam ahead! This week we watched a quarantine fave for many, "Outer Banks." We don't think we love it, or even the idea of it, but it's been on our to-review list for quite some time. Don't sail away. Stick around as we dive into unbreakable bones, socioeconomic status, and unwarranted favoritism.  We're one and the same. Anything but EXTRA-ordinary. Which "Outer Banks" girlie are you?

Hello there, Courageous Dollies! (Do you like this? Is this okay?) This week we’re making a return to our own fictional (Vermont is a real place, we know) universe with our fifth installment of the Writers’ Room. It’s been a while, but we want to give some special attention to the world building of our show. P isn’t just for places; it’s also for Pinterest. You’re getting a little look-see (or listen-hear) at our locked board to get a better idea of the overall ~ vibe ~. We randomly generated some color palettes and design characteristics to set the scene for our even numbered episode. Don’t worry . . . the odds are coming soon. Stay tuned for a lot of key clacking, an overuse of the word “aesthetic,” and poor desktop navigation. Cicadas are nasty, but we love the great outdoors. What's your true aesthetic?

This week's episode takes us back to the good old days. You know, when we would have a review that started off on track and it would just ever so slowly veer off the rails. Yes, we're back and more spontaneous than ever. We watched "Spontaneous" starring Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer. It's been awhile since we've seen Katherine on the screen, but she has made her return to playing a ~quirky~ girl who's just trying to graduate without combusting. Literally. We never get an answer as to why the senior class is exploding, but you get a few answers of our least favorite things: words, articles of clothing, and comedy shows that can't get with the times. Sometimes (a lot of the times) Rotten Tomatoes is a liar. Are you funny "ha ha" or funny strange?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/2STX4Kx Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll   IG: Coming Soon!

I know you don't care, but I want to talk about my hyper-specific interest that you know nothing about.  This is a phrase that is commonly tossed around in the audio messages, and it's our absolute pleasure to bring to the pod. In this week's episode, we focused on the senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste to exchange recommendations. Tayla explores her artistic side and sniffs a few candles. Katie writes her feelings and drinks a Harry Styles-approved beverage. It was truly a good (not stressful at all) time. Stick around for what could become the latest C&D series.  Also Mentioned:  Ingrid Nilsen's "Sense of Self" Series: https://bit.ly/3xUyJ7k Maybe hobbies aren't for us, but they could be for you.  What hobby should you give a go?
