Avsnitt

  • We're talking about the Earth, Wind, & Fire documentary, and the wild story of this funky 70s band. We discuss the insane hypocrisy of Tyra Banks suing Netflix over the America's Next Top Model documentary in which she participated. Turns out, it's not fun to be at the mercy of editors trying to tell a particular story. A woman got a tattoo of her child's name, but there was a typo, and her solution is WILD. We celebrate the pianist who got the chance of a lifetime to perform when the pro keyboardist fell ill at a concert. We debate the question of custody of an embryo in the event of a divorce. Susie talks about a mummy whose gut was growing yeast, and we are not happy with what the scientists decided to do with it. We'll give you one dumb guess.

  • Sarah is hyped about her new look. We're calling it athletic chic. We learn about a religious festival where people compete to make the most noise, and in so doing, priceless art pieces were destroyed. We find out the details of the world's most expensive home, and Susie wishes the owner a lifetime of pain and agony. Susie's sister is fact checking Sarah about how to deal with a bear sighting, and we just hope we're never in that position because there's some confusion. A gym is being sued because the "grunting" of the members is so loud the neighbors can't get a moment's rest. We lament the death of cursive handwriting and also (the atrocious) spelling of humans. We are mad about horse-drawn carriages. Why do they still exist? But good news--cereal boxes are bringing back toys. Finally! Plus, we hear how scientists discovered that fog is ALIVE. What.

  • Susie talks about Red Panda, the half-time phenom, who rides a 7ft tall unicycle whilst throwing plates with her feet onto her head. It's a whole thing. We find out about an astronaut who almost drowned on a "routine" spacewalk, which has Sarah reeling. We find out how Sarah almost choked to death, but more importantly, Susie found out she does NOT know the international sign for choking. We hear how WiFi can identify people in the room, and it's creepy af. Susie's sister questions Sarah's advice about saying, "Hey, bear!" to scare off bears. We learn why American horses are obese. And Sarah cries about Temple Grandin. Enjoy!

  • Sarah is back from Vegas where she attended the Enhanced Games, which allow competitors to use any FDA substance they want. We celebrate that, but we mourn the loss of buffets. Bring back the buffet! Susie watched a documentary about houses featured in movies and TV shows and the people who live in them. We hear why some owners hate it and others embrace their famous residences. We learned about the man who founded the E.L.F. makeup brand, who has received a higher calling and joined the priesthood! Susie watched the Hollywood Demons episode about Saved By the Bell, and we discuss the perils of childhood stardom and the tragedy of Screech's real life. Plus, we reminisce about the hilarious "star" experience we got when we were invited to the worst gifting suite of all time, but it keeps us humble.

  • Susie is mad about birds and chipmunks and Sarah is mad about noise pollution, but it's clear they're both old ladies. Susie also had an e-bike accident, and it's a fun reminder to drive sober. Also, if you love data, get a keychain breathalyzer. Sarah talks about a mosaic of a bull at an Italian mall that needed some sprucing up, but apparently the artist who restored it sucked, well, balls. We also learn about other art Sarah is mad at including the Art Basel Comedian piece where a banana is taped to a wall, and the reason it's in the news again. Plus, we hear about a man who won the lottery because his wife was being annoying, and now we think we should win the lottery with our listeners.

  • Susie has another pretend enemy (pretenemy?), and despite the Hippocratic oath, she is claiming her doctor doing harm. Sarah wants to know what old ladies are supposed to wear these days because her cowboy chic situation isn't exactly couture, but she likes being comfy. We learn about a man who is suing Netflix for creating a movie that he claims is too similar to his life, even though they say any similarity is, you guessed it, purely coincidental. We discuss the Titan submersible and how the wife/mother of two of the victims claims she was given their "bodies" in a very disturbing form. We celebrate the ways Mariska Hargitay is making a difference for victims of assault. And we debate the virtues of living a "random" life with the help of an app.

  • Susie is in a one-sided feud with Amy Poehler, which makes no sense, but is quite funny. Susie thinks Sarah should consider getting into the handyman business. We find out how to get on Jeopardy, why Brain Candy is basically the trashier, podcast version of Jeopardy. Susie watched the new Richard Simmons documentary about his amazing life and mysterious death, and we provide our theories about what went wrong with him at the end of his life. We learn why some men are trying to make their balls humungous, and we want to know what the hell they're thinking. We debate whether Wrigley field is right to sue a local business who they claim is preventing ticket sales. We find out the latest surprising science on colors, and it is blowing our mind.

  • Susie is moonlighting in the motion capture industry, and even though it's technically top secret. she shares the challenges of tech modeling and why she thinks her and Sarah's ability to follow instructions makes them succeed on the Challenge. Sarah describes an unconventional way some families are deciding what last name their baby gets, and Susie is mad about it (even though she thinks she would crush it). Sarah thinks every celebrity is now into gardening all of the sudden. Everything is coming up roses for Sarah because she is binging gardening content. It's like Green Acres over here. Susie just knows that apparently there's a problem with peat bogs. Sarah is also obsessing about the magic of Temple Grandin, why she was more in tune with the interior lives of animals, and why she thinks she has the same traits. Despite our query last week, we learned people do, in fact, eat pigeons, but we're pretty sure they're gross. Sarah shares some of the latest slang words of young people, and we learn once again that we are, in fact, very old.

  • Sarah met a newborn baby, and she is still riding the high. We find out what it costs to get bodycam footage and why the government is so behind the times. Susie wants to know why no one is doing gender reveal parties anymore (not that we're complaining!). We discuss the Martin Short documentary, and think about why he is so positive and stable and how he is a comedic genius without the tortured soul. We hear about The Crash documentary on Netflix, and the story of Mackenzie Shirilla who drove her car into a building, killing her boyfriend and another friend, and whether we think the crash was an accident or intentional. We learn about the "Accutane nosejob" that happens to many people when they take the acne medication, and why Susie is convinced it happened to her.

  • Spring has sprung, but we don't understand why babies are born this time of year. Sarah explains what happens when you pass gas during surgery (and Susie is not happy). We hear why naming cows has an impact on their milk production. Susie says she always tells people in her life to be sweet to her when she's "fussy" and we debate whether she is infantilizing herself or whether it's proof women are tough. We discuss a robot race and hear whether humans are still winning against machines. There was a situation at a carnival that made Sarah feel like the whole fair industry is an AWH (accident waiting to happen). Plus, we get an update on the Hantavirus cruise situation, and it really calls into question whether anyone should be doing a particular hobby.

  • Susie describes why the man who popularized climbing Everest claims he never meant to do that, why he thinks people should climb in a different way, and why it's much easier to scale the highest mountain now than a few years ago. We find out what Sarah thinks is the number one horror film ever made. We discuss twins who don't share a father, and why it raises questions about identity and personhood. We learn the difference between Western runners and the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners who dominate the sport, and the reasons they are defying the "science" of running and still winning marathons and setting world records. We debate the ethics of "unwritten rules" in sports, how these codes are set and enforced, and the ways they're good and bad.

    00:00 - Personal Reflections on Mother's Day and Sandy Hook's Impact

    12:40 - How Commercialization Changed Everest Climbing and Its Meaning

  • Sarah and Susie are disturbed by the Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise, and we reminisce about our introduction to the virus thanks to Susie's (unofficial) work on the Gene Hackman investigation. Sarah learned about a collaboration between Prego pasta sauce (??) and Story Corps that will allow you to record family conversations to preserve oral traditions, but we think these people clearly do not know what most family's conversations are actually like. Sarah is working on the Amelia Earhart cold case, and some people now think she landed and made distress calls for days after the plane went missing. She also talks about the Should I Marry a Murderer documentary about a pathologist whose partner confesses to murder, and she faces adversity and mental health issues trying to do the right thing with the information.

  • Sarah is embracing her Spanish language learning, but she can only speak it with a deep, Buzz Lightyear voice, and we love it. Susie watched the Dark Wizard HBO docuseries about extreme sporting pioneer, free solo climber, and base-jumping enthusiast, Dean Potter, and we discuss why this is a hate-watch for us, how men will do anything instead of going to therapy, and why Susie hates extreme sports bros with all her heart. We hear about a study that determined that urban birds are more afraid of women than men, and we want to know why. There was a crossword crisis recently, and the puzzle nerds were losing their minds about it. We debate whether there are any MTV Challenge cast members who are better at getting around the rules of the show than we are. And we hear about the boy band documentary that chronicles the experience of the young men who are thrust into pop stardom and sign exploitative contracts, and why it reminds us of reality tv fame.

  • Susie watched the Hulk Hogan documentary, and explains why he reminds her of Johnny Bananas, why he is not the hero we hoped for, and the physical pain of being a "fake" wrestler. We learn about a scandal in the equestrian community where a horsegirl was shot by a trainer, and how, despite the odds, we're kind of on the man's side. What. We learn about the men who are upset that they were circumcised when they were babies, and the drastic means they're taking to get their skin to stretch back to its original state. We find out who is the "second most dangerous driver in New York City," and how he got a speeding ticket every other day for a year without any other consequences. Plus, Susie shares the history of the disposable diaper (you're welcome).

  • Sarah is getting excited for her farming future since she's decided to pivot away from snow (since there doesn't appear to be any in Denver anymore). We are comparing notes about the ridiculous pick-up lines we've heard recently, and Susie's theory that men are getting worse at lines designed to flirt. Susie is still trying to get Sarah to come up with her list of non-negotiable things that she requires to feel comfortable (like Susie's list of 5 w's), but we think we've finally got a complete picture. We learn about the "great unwanting," and why some people think Gen Z is not having good sex. We discuss the keys to happiness, and find out the list that scientists have determined are the trick to well-being. Sarah explains what causes a house to be haunted (and it's not ghosts).

  • We have been threatening to be matchmakers with a listener for years, but we finally think we found the right candidate to set up on dates. Loyal Brainiac, Sarah's iPad, is going to be the perfect gal to set up. She's smart, funny, pretty, and nice, and we need you all to help us find a match. We also talk to Harvard-trained clinical psychologist and Hily Dating App expert, Dr. Sabrina Romanoff about dating in the digital era, the advantages and challenges of online dating, and how to find a good partner. Plus, we look at the data from the Hily Dating App T.R.U.T.H Report to learn what young people look for in a partner, how spirituality helps them make sense of rejection and compatibility, and why young daters are looking for authenticity over perfection in their dates.

  • Sarah is back from living that pura vida in Costa Rica. She had an incredible horse girl experience and now she's back to regular life. Susie is encouraging everyone to come up with a list of non-negotiables like she has with her "five W's." We're still working on Sarah's list, but it probably includes pot. We discuss the #SkyKing documentary about the man who stole a plane for seemingly no good reason, and the ways Susie related to his wild life story. We discuss the Trust Me documentary, which tells the story of a fundamentalist Mormon cult where men were "marrying" young girls, and the amazing way the film itself allowed them to be rescued. And our resident sports story lover (who really doesn't like sports), Susie, breaks down the feud between Geno Aurimma and Dawn Staley in the WNBA finals and the ways that it reflects the changing of the guard between the generations.

  • We completed the bit of Susie not watching Interstellar, and now we're hearing Sooz Review of the film. Sarah is still emotionally recovering from it. It was emotional! So we're getting existential, philosophical, and galactic! We hear why humans are the only animals with chins, and it turns out it's kinda wacky. We find out why one scientist thinks ADHD is best defined as a hypercuriosity, and Sarah is a real big fan of this spin on it. There is a dog poop problem in New York, and it's causing a divide between people who see their dogs as equal to people vs. people who think they should be treated like animals, not humans.
