Danni and Miki
What do you get when you put two fire signs in front of a mic? A LOT of thoughts and opinions. Serving you thoughtfulness, sass, and humor on topics about adulting, identity, relationships, and more, Danni and Miki catch up from NYC and London, respectively. These friends did not let a big blue ocean and a little time difference stop them from the deep conversations, funny banters, and creating a podcast. Thoughts, feedback, questions?

"Not to be like men versus women buuut….." the double standard is unreal
We have both finally watched The Tinder Swindler on Netflix, and we have thoughts! Lots of it. In this episode, Miki and Danni talk about the portrayal of women in media and entertainment, victim blaming, and gaslighting - lighthearted topics, no biggie. Whether you've also watched the Netflix documentary or even if you haven't, let us know your thoughts on these topics. Find us at [email protected] and @remotelyfun on Instagram.

Entering the friend zone (literally)
Best friends talking about best friends. And close friends. And buddies. And acquaintances. In this week's episode, Miki and Danni delve into friendships and how we categorize our friend groups. Are terms like "best friend" meaningful or juvenile? Can you REALLY be friends with people with different lifestyles and in different life stages?    Email: [email protected]    IG: @remotelyfun

The worst dating & relationship advice we've been given
Cuffing season is upon us! So grab your cold weather bae (or long term bae, or short term bae, we don't judge) (or if you're like us, some tea and weighted blanket) for all the relationship advice you'll ever need! JK, as two friends who are single and **not** looking to mingle, we feel extra unqualified to give any relationship advice at this time. However, we do have some BAD dating and relationship advice disguising as helpful tips that we want to debunk from personal experience.    Let us know which of these "advice" you've also been given or others that we missed through our IG: remotelyfun or email us at [email protected]     Music: Love Aside by Patrick Patrikios
