Satellite Sisters International News Round-Up + Sheila's World. Jun 14, 2015

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters, Julie leads off with an International News Round-Up that starts in outer space and lands in Thailand. We are all very happy to hear that the Philae comet lander has woken up and tweeted a message to earth. Hello! Also in Julie's tour of the world: A flood in Tblisi, Georgia has wild animals roaming the streets, Putin keeps the Pope waiting (again), eating live red ants in Thailand may be good for you but the raw fish might not. You heard it on Satellite Sisters first. The sisters discuss the comments of embattled Nobel Laureate Tim Hunt. Kudos to the female scientists who tweeted their ridicule with the hashtag #Distractinglysexy. Comedic revenge is always sweet, but Lian asks if some of the other punishment over the top. Sheila's school year is over so she fills us in on her latest attempt at gift card living, an ill-fated hike that may be her last, a shoe injury that left a mark and some tension at the dry cleaners. In other words, Pluto's moons. And Liz tips us off that a piece she wrote for Fortune Magazine about unconscious bias in the board room will be posted on the Fortune blog in the next day or two. We'll share it around so you can post your own comments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Sister Julie Buys and Unbuys a House, Monica has good news and Liz tries to Dog Whisper. May 31, 2015

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters show, Julie buys and unbuys a house. What? Wait. Why? Blame it on the hatch. And no, this is not an episode of LOST. Monica has good news for Julie about parallel parking. No need to ever learn. Monica also has good news for Liz about an unstainable shirt. It's a potential lifesaver for Liz, a lifelong stainer. Liz has a terrifying tale of her ferocious Ferris trapping an unsuspecting painter in her bedroom. Sorry, Steve. It's not the first time Liz has gotten a message at work about a wild animal in her home. Who remembers the tale of the raccoon enjoying life on her living couch? Julie has a movie quiz for the sisters about the new movie Aloha. Despite what you've heard on Rotten Tomatoes, Julie enthusiastically endorses Aloha. She calls it "pleasant" and ""it's not going to kill you." Really makes you want to run right out and buys your tickets, right? Julie's attitude: A fine movie to see in Texas during a 300 year storm. Breaking news on Triscuits, people. Have you heard about Martha Stewart's new flavor? It's all part of a "celebrity Triscuit" effort. We've got some ideas about Satellite Sisters triscuits, including Monica's completely breakthrough flavor idea. So new we can't even write it here. You have to listen. We are not in business with Triscuits in any way, but we are longtime lovers of the savory cracker. Other items: Mindy Kaling is going to have her own Satellite Sister on The Mindy Project this year. Yeah. Congratulations, Sister. Paul McCartney has changed his policy on pot. Thanks, grandpa. Don't forget to watch the Women's World Cup that starts Saturday June 6.
