🚨 Sarah is on the dating apps! 📢 And boy, does she have the scoop on what's going on with the dating community. We find out whether the full-blown lesbians are mingling with the dabblers, what the lesbian equivalent to the fish profile pic is, and whether she is getting a lot of bites (so to speak) from her suitors. It's a treat. Plus, we hear what's in her bio. Susie reveals the goods from Tinder's report on dating trends and she is not happy about it. We learn about a challenge created for magicians to create a magic trick that relies entirely on audio and the auditory illusion that is at the foundation of the winning trick. We discuss the Super/Man documentary about Christopher Reeve, how he is portrayed that may surprise people, and how he believed the accident was "necessary" to teach him life lessons. Susie describes the documentary about the 2004 tsunami, the horror of its destruction, and how they've improved the technology to prevent such a catastrophic loss of life in the future. We find out what surprising item is found at archeological sites of war. Plus, we interview Chimp Crazy's Tonia Haddix about her appearance in the film, what she regrets about her effort to smuggle Tonka away from PETA and the sanctuary, and what her life is like now that she is so famous.

Sarah went to see Wicked, and she wants a little commotion for her ability to not sing out loud in the theater during the film. We also got a pro-tip--never get a matching tattoo with someone. If you do, your relationship is cursed according to Sarah. We learn what robot pants are, how they could help people who are disabled and/or elderly, and how much they'll cost you. We debate the virtues of having calorie counts on restaurant menus. Sarah explains what happens to astronauts's cognition after they come back from space. And she explains how she changed her mind about people who have no desire to travel or go on adventures, and why she thinks they're more useful than she used to. We hear some of the inventions and discoveries that their creators chose not to patent, which led to innovation, societal benefits, and saved lives as a result.

Susie is wound up about the Yacht Rock documentary and she doesn't care who knows it. We learn why Yacht Rock rocks (a little bit), why it has a great sense of humor, and some of her favorite tracks. We hear why hysterectomies are confusing, even to the people who've had them, and why it's not clear exactly what organs they take and the consequences of their removal. We learn about a woman who snuck onto a transcontinental flight from New York to Paris and managed to go undetected for almost the entire flight by going back and forth from bathroom to bathroom, and we consider what type of gal she might be. We discuss an art exhibit where people were encouraged to visit nude, the naiveté of some of the women in attendance, and why we are staunchly against anyone who thinks clothes are a burden. Susie explains why Gen Z gets a lot of flack for being "illiterate" or not reading enough while they are actually breathing new life into the book industry with #BookTok. We consider whether the type of book matters or not in terms of value. We find out why a judge thinks that calling a man "bald" in a derogatory way at work is sexual harassment, and we debate the merits of the argument. Plus, we get the latest in the D.B. Cooper airplane hijacking and parachute escape mystery, and why it's obvious after all these years who did it.

Therapist, psychic, what's the difference? That's what we're asking about Sarah's intuition, perception, and ability to read people, and it runs in the family. A political activist/novelist in Japan thinks the answer to Japan's population growth problem involves sterilizing women. Seems like this wouldn't solve the problem, but we do have some alternative suggestions. Sarah is really into the idea of communal living and wonders why communes have such a bad reputation when they might be the solution to a love of societal woes. We hear a new story about our old pal Brian Johnson, who is trying to cheat death and become immortal or something. Despite his claims that his aim is about longevity and health, it seems he's feeling a little self-conscious about his gaunt appearance and is looking to fillers to solve the problem. Sarah explains what Love Island Australia is doing to ensure the cast is safe and that consent for intimacy is explicit, and she is hoping it catches on across reality tv and in real life.

Sarah is crushing it and we celebrate what a difference a year can make. We hear why she insisted on naming all of her cats "Sam" sort of like George Foreman naming all of his kids George. We learn how the originator of the high five was discriminated against and ended up losing his job for being gay. Susie describes the Olympic moment when Greg Louganis hit his head on the diving board and how it forced him to make the ethical decision on whether to disclose his HIV+ diagnosis. We discuss an article in the New Yorker by John Lahr about what it was like to have the cowardly lion (Bert Lahr) from the Wizard oz Oz as his dad, the challenge of being a cultural icon, and how some people can be outgoing and gregarious in public and sullen and despondent in private. A man in England got three years of jail time for selling firesticks so people could illegally watch Premier League soccer (football). Susie shares the origins of the photo finish, how a horse once won because of a thread of saliva, the limits of accuracy, and how it relates to the Hawkeye system in tennis that determines whether a ball is in or out of bounds. We learn about a kayaker who had to have his leg amputated after getting it caught between two boulders, but we have some questions...

Sarah is thinking of going on the dating apps, and we are psyched! But we hope she doesn't end up married to a hologram like some "performance artist" that we hate. We talk about a reality show from the aughts that had people competing for a donated kidney from a terminally ill woman that turned out to be a hoax and was meant to raise awareness about organ donation. We learn about a man who loved a bakery only to find out later that the owner was his biological mom. We discuss a New York Times article that explains the "grief" some people are feeling when their children choose not to have children, which means they won't be grandparents.

Sarah's a happy bunny, and it's a long time coming. We discuss the Mike Tyson v. Jake Paul fight, whether it was fixed, and why the slap should've tipped us off. Susie explains how his lisp, his love of pigeons, and the death of his daughter made people see him differently. We hear how the Muhammad Ali documentary showed how learning to withstand suffering can be the sign of a champion. We hear about the Stanford Prison Experiment documentary showed how this famous psychology research was flawed, unethical, and doesn't demonstrate the findings the researcher claimed. We learn how the design of Navy speedboats and the technology that allows them to go fast are causing the crews to get CTE, suffer addiction, and making suicide far more likely. We hear about a couple who broke up, but ended up back together after one of them got a concussion and forgot they broke up. And Susie wants to talk about how hot Elvis was during his comeback special and how the entertainment industry and his handlers made him feel powerless after his initial fame.

Sarah is navigating the wild world of homeownership and it's a jungle. We are heartned to hear cheese helps the medicine (alcohol) go down, and think we must be the healthiest women alive. We learn about a child influencer who recently came of age and because she has been exposed to online predators etc for so long she sees OnlyFans as her future. We discuss a phone that was installed on a bridge to help people in distress. We talk about a woman who beat the record for fastest hike of the Appalachian Trail and it is UNREAL how she did it. Let's just say she doesn't have all of her toenails. We find out how gophers healed the world, or at least the destruction of Mt. Saint Helen and it gives us hope for more gopher miracles. Plus, we mourn RayGun's retirement from the Breaking community.

Sarah's got a Pow Report, and she is as happy as a clam. Susie wants her to start a menopausal snowboarding group. We'll see. Susie talks about Mary McGee, who was the first motorcycle racing woman and the first PERSON to race the Baha 500 solo, and how she was a trailblazer without even really trying. And how her flippant attitude about a tragedy seemed well-adjusted rather than detached, and we analyze how that could be. We debate whether the Menendez brothers deserve to be resentenced, and the strange development of true crime fandom affecting actual criminal situations. We learn about the new rules for skipping the line at Disney for people with disabilities, why some people in the disabled community are furious, and why Disney said they had to change the rules in the first place. There's a pee related mystery in Los Angeles, and Susie makes Sarah theorize about the motives of the urinator. We hear why baseball players are the only athletes who can't stop eating, and Sarah gives the best reason for why food is important to them. Plus, a dating site made it possible to mute accounts who use certain words and phrases, and we consider some of the cliches, tropes, and platitudes that should/would get your bio hidden.

Sarah returned to her Real World house and wasn't prepared for how emotional it would make her, and now she's considering why the experience brought out so many feelings. We talk about "wet dog shake," what causes it, and why some mammals have that response to certain stimuli, while others, like cats and mice, don't. We learn about dozens of monkeys who escaped from a research lab, and debate whether we're on team monkeys or team science. Either way, those monkeys are clever and free. We discuss a man who uses a medical voice board to communicate and how he modified the device to make it more personal and reflective of his identity. We consider which accents we like in the world and which grate on our nerves, and why so many people hate the sound of their own voice. Sarah explains how chocolate exposed racism within the movie industry, and how things have improved since the 70s. Plus, we discuss the Sweet Bobby documentary where a woman is catfished by someone for a decade, and we debate how someone could allow that to happen, why it could happen to anyone, and why there wasn't much punishment for the person who tricked her.

Sarah and Susie are fresh off their New York adventure, and they spent one night in their hotel room getting spooked by the Manhattan Alien Abduction documentary. Hear why we are kind of convinced that a woman was abducted, and feel bad that people question it. Susie met a man who gave himself a vasectomy (don't worry, he's a urology surgeon), and got the scoop on whether it really is as bad as men claim it is. We learn about a Strongman champion who recently died, and how he was a successful bird breeder who said the color and beauty of the fowls brought out his "gentle side." We also discuss the founder of the JanSport company and inventor of the backpack, mummy sleeping bag, and modern hiking bag, and how his innovative designs are so ubiquitous we can't imagine a world without them! We talk about new advances in the science of itching and the reasons why pain gets all the attention, while itching is understudied. Plus, we have a theory (well, Lincoln does) about why one basketball player refused to admit his actual height.

Sarah is falling in love with bacteria now that she knows they are excited for pow season too, and they get ready by packing on the pounds. We learn how Parkland survivors were given a special legal authority over the rights and licenses associated with the person who attacked them, and why more of these arrangements are ahead for survivors at long last. We talk about a study that said longevity can be increased by adding just a few minutes of movement to your day, but Susie thinks they're being a little cheeky in presenting the data. We are shocked to learn the top bagel flavor and we want to know the monsters who are ordering them. Susie remembered that her fascination with hot dogs is actually in her blood, and we are loving it. We debate how to stop elderly people from being scam victims, and why Susie has little compassion for them when they choose strangers over their only families.

Susie is over the moon after having met her lifelong inspiration and hero, musical genius Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. She can't even articulate how amazing it was, but if you ever get the chance to meet your hero, DO IT! We discuss the Martha Stewart documentary, which is amazing, and how her complicated psyche and quirky personality make for fascinating psychological viewing. We talk about the Join or Die documentary that explores why civic associations are so important and why we must get involved. Susie reveals how a Brainiac is using Brain Candy clips to teach his students about implicit bias, and we are SOOO excited about it. Who knew the NFL ate so many Uncrustables. We hear how many they're eating and Sarah's got a theory about why football players in particular have an appetite for toddler food. China is at it again with their sneaky tourist traps, and it is a hoot. We discuss an exposé on the dangers of cheerleading, why one company is lobbying against their accreditation as a sport, and how cheerleaders are being put in harm's way.

Ever think you could identify a person's religion from just looking at them? Well, apparently people can identify Mormons and we want to know what it is that makes that possible. We hear about a movement in Netherlands to turn concrete into gardens. We learn about a study on self-awareness that showed how most people are clueless about how people see them, and we learn tips on how to fix it in ourselves. We hear about Prada's new spacesuits for astronauts and Susie is jealous and Sarah has some questions about the suits's features.

Sarah is grappling with her diminished enthusiasm for sPoOoOoOoky season and the reason she's less into it these days. We hear about the women's basketball Olympic team from 1996, and how they ushered in the creation of the WNBA, and the tragedy that befell one of the gold medalists. We discuss the British game of Conker and the championship scandal that is cracking us up (pun intended). And Sarah's got a theory about what really happened... We learn about a horrific organ donation story that will make you question the whole process. We hear what European countries that are the most...romantic (horny) and why Sarah's theory about this might be wrong. We discuss the men who are dating AI robots and why they are misguided in their approach to handling their loneliness and fears of rejection. Plus, Sarah asked ChatGPT to tell her something about herself and she was brought to tears with its answer.

Sarah was feeling left out of the crazy spider bite conversation. She got one of her own, so she and Susie can be Spider Bite Besties. We hear about Sarah’s recent obsession with Love Is Blind: Habibi, and why it's so much better than the American version. We learn why elephants are evolving at a faster rate to cope with humans hunting their tusks, and Susie thinks it’s a real win for the species. A man was fined for being too spooky in a cemetery, but we’ve got some questions before we pass judgment. Sarah fills us in on the Guinness World Record holder for longest breath held underwater, which leads to a shocking discovery about Kate Winslet–as if she wasn’t impressive enough already! Plus, NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge is asking us to shift how we think about waste and come up with some new solutions. Sarah reports on the shocking brain changes in teens during COVID lockdown, but there’s one gendered aspect that doesn’t surprise us.

Susie brings a few nominees to the Darwin Awards--one is a snake influencer (?) who said anit-venom was for p*ssies who then, of course, was bit by his pet viper and the other was a man who was observing a friend drink an assisted suicide drug cocktail and then decided to take a sip for himself. We learn about a man who circumnavigated the globe on foot instead of getting a divorce and the unbelievable events that he went through for this dubious distinction. We hear about a daydreaming contest that tests whether you can remain lost in your thoughts for 90 minutes. Susie describes a couple who waited 12 years for access to Disney's Club 33 only to lose access based on what they say was a misunderstanding. Hear the incredible lengths they're going to get back in and what it's like to be a member of this exclusive club to begin with. We find out how mail is processed in Antarctica and who is sending mail there. We learn why Hope Solo was ostracized from the women's professional soccer team. And we discuss the forthcoming posthumous memoir by Lisa Marie Presley with help from her daughter Reilly Keogh, and the generational trauma of fame and addiction.

Sarah might be changing her mind about the "fun size" chocolate candy bars. We find out what you can get from coining a slogan like "Nobody lay a finger on my Butterfinger." We learn whether you can sense that somebody is staring at you and we consider why we think we're exceptions to the rule. We learn why "superhero" is a special word and why we all are superheroes in some way. Plus a woman mistook an everyday item for an animal and even took the item to a veterinarian to make sure it was ok. Adam weighs in on why he can see how this happened. Plus, we debate what five liquids we would have shoot from our fingers if given the chance, Susie explains why she's great at parties, and she is honoring her year of "wonder" with a special concert tonight.

Susie is talking about one of her favorite subjects: the foot fetish. We learn what can trigger the fetish, what the fetishists look for in a foot, and whether Susie or Sarah has more desirable feet among the community. We hear about the toxic culture of sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and bullying on The Price is Right, and why Barker's Beauties felt trapped. We discuss a medical parts company who helped a paralyzed man walk for ten years, but refused to repair his device and prevented him from walking, and how we can remedy the issues some patients have in caring for their new body parts. And we talk about the new documentary Jailbreak about a female jail warden who helped a prisoner escape after they developed a relationship, and we debate whether he really had feelings for her or whether she was used to help him get out of prison.

Sarah is obsessing over Fall fashion and not just the goth stuff; tweed and tartan too! We discuss the Mr. McMahon documentary about WWE founder Vince McMahon, the history of wrestling, and the fallout from his many lawsuits alleging sexual harassment, assault, and more. We detail how professional wrestling has many of the same elements and problems as reality tv (especially the Challenge) including the blurred line between real and fake and how everyone contains multitudes, which is why we were both impressed and repulsed by Vince McMahon's life and accomplishments. We talk about the Will & Harper documentary, and why it was different than we expected, but was a beautiful portrait of friendship, love, care, and the ways people are all the same. Susie describes a recent political scandal where a nominee for governor was found to be a prolific commenter on adult sites and message boards, and we explore what type of person is commenting on these forums in the first place and what they could possibly gain from doing so.
