Myths Our Moms Told Us Growing Up May 11, 2021

Show notes

This past weekend was Mother's Day here in the US, so we decided what better way to celebrate how great our moms are than by sharing the craziest myths they told us growing up. This week we're talking a lot about lightning, phones, and bats eating bananas. It's a weird one but Lauren and I had a lot of fun recording. Apparently, dedicating an episode to our moms didn't count as a Mother's Day gift.

Even More Food Myths You Probably Believe Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

We have a thing for food so naturally we're talking about even more food myths you probably believe (or at the very least heard). We're talking more about the science behind these myths so there's less of them BUT there's a lot of information behind each topic!
