There's a new dog in town! Finneas moved in a few days ago and we're therefore discussing what it means do adopt a dog.

How do you pick the right rescue for you? And why is it so important to take your time?  Does everyone need to adopt rescues, and is getting a puppy from a breeder a sin? 

We're also sharing his story to show the world that rescuing a dog can be beautiful and not every dog comes with a lot of baggage. If you want to follow his life in Finland, head over to Instagram: @finneas_therescue

This week we're discussing how your first panic attack at the age of 32 can send you straight to A&E because it feels way too physical to not be, and how to deal with the aftermath of all of that.

We're also thinking about which cause an AI would find the most worthy of support, the result is surprising. And we went on a bit of rant about neighbours who literally treat you like air - I'M RIGHT HERE, KAREN. 

If our podcast had a cycle, this would be the period one. We're rambling a lot while we're trying to make a point about why it sometimes sucks to be a woman, and how we're trying to find a balance between not giving a shit and caring too much. 

In the end, we kinda forgot the mic was on so you're in for a bumpy ride around our weird brains. Gina the giraffe is still missing, by the way.

This week we're playing "We're Not Really Strangers" to tell you if it's worth your time. Spoiler: we might be as obsessed with the game as we are with the instagram account.

Listen in if you want to know if we were popular in school, what kind of questions we're trying to answer in our lives at the moment, and what we think the other one needs to hear right now.

This week we're discussing how virtual assistants like Alexa are a curse when they have too much to say. We're also appreciating the sun being back and what a positive impact it has on us and the people of Helsinki. And why are some parties so great and others fail? Should we start post-mortem analyses of parties?

Overall, we've enjoyed a light discussion about random topics as a change from some of the heavy stuff that is going on in our lives and the world. 

This week we're discussing how the war in Ukraine is impacting our lives and the society we live in.  Do we even have time to process what's happening, and how do we make sure that we don't lose our minds? And when is the time to discuss how Europe is dealing with Ukrainian refugees vs refugees from other countries, such as Afghanistan or Syria? Why do we build fences and let people drown and now suddenly welcome thousands with open arms? Why don't we treat everyone the same, and how do we get there?

This week's episode about our way of approaching life is inconveniently interrupted by a false alarm caused by a little too much gluten. After we calmed our nerves and tummies, we continued the discussion about agile goals, the importance of gratefulness and eventually circled back to the theme of the week: poop. 

Welcome to the first neighbour's meeting. This week we're discussing how we made a pact to hide things from each other in order to still have topics on Sunday. Because we're neighbours who spend a lot of time with each other, and if we're not together we're usually on the phone. We're also telling the world what it needs to know about each other, and dive deep into social anxiety, overstimulation and how to set boundaries when you live in a co-living space.
