Hello hello hello! After a little banter about the Drag Race finale (you know we had to), Julia and Caroline get into the economies of TALK—big talk, small talk, and all the sizes in between.

From breakups to kink confessions to declarations of unease about a friend's beloved, does anyone ever enjoy big talk? Can the savants of weather discussion ever thrive in a political discussion, and conversely, will there ever be a place for lighthearted chitchat among the diehards who only like to get deep? And why do we miss small talk so much, even when we constantly talk shit about it? It's a muscle, darling. And we work it out, all here, at Not Nice.

Come for the musings, and be sure to stay for Julia's incredible story about bringing a business student who didn't believe in mental health to his knees (in an educational, non-sexual way).
