For their second episode, Ian & Ivy dive a little deeper into their introductions, make important announcements and clear up confusions about the podcast.

The pair delve into their memories of high school, especially the awkward ones. Next up, Ivy brings up pathological liars vs. straight shooters and the science behind them. Ian touches on how texting practices in this day and age is so intricate where, now, context, body language, and facial expression are left out of the picture. After discussions about smart devices helping to catch criminals, a religiously-affiliated school taking taxpayer funds, and two gruesome anime shows, both contemplate what is an emotion, concluding the episode.
