Mortified! The Friendship Quest

Mortified! Episode 212: The Transcendent Experience of Watching Ads (SGF 2026)

This week, Aaron and Leyla indulge in the glorious tradition of watching advertisements for video games and going, "Ooh!" "Aah!" or "Neat, but not for me." We did not poison ourselves with Mountain Dew or hot wings this time, but if you have suggestions for future physical trials you can e-mail us at mortifiedpod@gmail.com.

Mortified! RERUN: Turtleneck in the Streets, Scissors in the Sheets (Pretty Woman, Something's Gotta Give)

Hi gang! Leyla here. I'm not feeling too ✨jazzy✨ so this week Aaron has generously agreed to rerun an old episode, so I can have some time to reset and be ready to further discuss the Fountainhead next episode. Please enjoy!

Original Description: 
This week, we round out our month of romance with 1990's "Pretty Woman" and 2003's "Something's Gotta Give!" We discuss our undying love for Julia Roberts, the differences between love scenes and character arcs, and the wildest reason you could have a pair of scissors in your nightstand. 
also if you listen through the whole episode you do get to hear the funniest joke Aaron's ever made that will only land if you use tumblr
