M&N are jumping right into the second episode, kicking off with a “Normal or Neurotic Nadya” story where dealing with the neighbors on trash collection day can make one pooped out. Then, they talk about why friendship breakups can be more distressing than romantic breakups. They dive into the reasons why one might consider breaking up with a friend, what the stages of breaking up are and how to heal or recover from it, and the possibilities of a reconciliation in the future. The episode ends with “Marie’s Munchies” where we hear about an umami rich condiment that makes everything you cook and taste ten times better. You might consider adding it as a staple in your pantry!

Marie and Nadya welcome you to the very first episode of Can You Talk?, where they are taking on what it means to be multiracial and the complexities that come with it such as being called exotic. Yes, like a bird. First, they start by catching up with a game of "Normal or Neurotic Nadya" / "Mature or Manic Marie" where they weigh in on a personal story of how we can all have a sense of humor when our anxiety manifests itself even in the most inconvenient places like public transport. Bonjour! Hello! Ni Hao! Kamusta! Namaste! Then, they talk about life in New York, the Philippines, France, Hong Kong, India and London, and all the nuances of their mixed race experiences. Finally, the episode ends with "Nadya’s Nomnoms" and "Marie’s Munchies" where we hear our first delicious and chic West Village food rec. Is French Toast actually French? Someone answer Marie please. Sacrébleu!
