Summary

We're releasing the first episode of one our favorite shows over at suboptimalpods.com!

DEAR DAIRY is Punam Patel and Tawny Newsome sharing their personal journal entries from their very uncomfortable, very brown, teen and childhood years. They drag each other's punctuation, discuss youthful crushes, and send virtual hugs to their bruised younger selves. Cathartic and silly, a warm but cringey listen for anyone who was an outsider.

0:00.0	Hey y'all, it's tawny. We don't have a normal episode for you this week. We're taking a little
0:03.4	break. We mentioned it last week, but here I am telling you again. So there's no Andrew,
0:08.0	there's no voicemails, there's no racism, JK, there's always racism. We know that.
0:13.2	No, but we thought we would take a little break and release something from our suboptimal pods bundle.
0:18.3	Suboptimal pods, if you don't know, is our premium subscription site that Andrew and I built
0:22.4	where you can subscribe to all kinds of bonus content of ours that is usually non-racism related.
0:27.2	No promises though. But yeah, today we're gonna give you the first episode of a show called
0:32.8	Dear Dairy. If you're a suboptimal subscriber, maybe you've heard Dear Dairy. If you have it,

0:42.4	and sometimes high school diaries, entries that we have not cracked open before, reacting to each
0:47.6	other's live on the mic, talking about our childhood traumas. She grew up a little Indian child
0:54.0	in Viro Beach, Florida. I grew up in Vacaville, California, Golden State, Sunshine State.
0:59.3	Our lives were very parallel and similar being awkward young brown youth. You know Poon and Patel,

1:08.8	on you as a racist once before, but you know her from shows like Kevin from work. She plays
1:14.2	Kim on Netflix's special, which just had its second season come out. She was also on, uh,
1:19.6	I feel bad. She does a lot of stuff. She's great, she's very funny, she's my friend. We read our
1:23.8	diaries. That's what you're about to hear. So yeah, that is what the show is. It's been a lot of
1:29.7	fun to do. We've been just stacking up episodes that we've put in the premium bundle and, um, just
1:35.2	to tease a little something on the horizon. You may see some dear dairy elsewhere in the world.
1:41.1	Could that be more cryptic or more obvious? Who knows? Um, but check it out. Okay, we'll be back
1:47.6	next week with the regularly scheduled racism. Bye-bye. It's the safe. This is Dear Dairy, episode
