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.

There was another pop-up scam that rocked the fans of Bridgerton when they showed up for what they thought was a Victorian-era dance, but got flourescent lighting, an exotic dancer, and absolutely nothing Victorian. These are a treat. Sarah demoans a marble art installation that was smashed to bits by a "performance artist" for the hell of it and ancient sketches in the dessert were destroyed by off-roaders. People are the worst. But we learn about an art concept that involves counting rice that Sarah can't quit thinking about, and we decided it is a great metaphor for so many aspects of life. Sarah turns the tables and teaches Susie about a religious phenomenon involving remote islands that experienced WWII soldiers bringing rations and other resources, but mistook them for divine beings. We learn why these groups have built a religious framework around them that still persists today.

Fall is in the air, so our resident witch is getting her caldron out and preparing for snowboarding season. Sarah is willing to sacrifice a literal finger if that means not missing another powder season. (She's unwell.) Susie tells us about a 30 for 30 called Stolen Gold about an intellectually disabled paralympic basketball team that won the gold by having almost the entire team fake the disability. We learn how it affected the lives of the people who won fair and square. We discuss the complexities of "fairness" in sports and the consequences it has for trans athletes (such as the athlete in the documentary Mack Wrestles). We talk about a woman who donated her body to science to create a legacy, but then placed a list of demands on the scientists for 15 years. Susie describes the documentary The Contestant about a Japanese reality tv show that tortured its star for 15 months and humiliated him in front of the country of Japan. Plus, an athlete who was injured due to a "hefty sneeze" inspired us to learn about some other surprising injuries endured by athletes.

Sarah is living out her Bob's Burgers fantasies. Susie's still trying to do a pull-up, but we found research that shows she might never meet her goal! We debate whether kids should have their phones in school, and our opinions will probably surprise you. We learn why people who use prosthetics are frustrated with the way companies make their products and how it affects their autonomy. Sarah describes a trend on TikTok where people are exoticizing and romanticizing office jobs, and she says she welcomes the trend of normalizing 9-5 work. We talk about the Ryan Murphy Monster series that recreates the Lyle and Erik Menendez brothers true crime story, and why she questions Murphy's motives as well as the defense of the brothers for their crime. We discuss Kim Kardashian's work for prisoners's rights and criminal justice reform, but wonder about the timing of her recent visit with the Menendez brothers given her proximity to Murphy. And we learn why the game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk.

Sarah is trying to take care of her poor hurt finger, and is hoping it leads to something amazing, but that amazing thing will not be sex with a man if she has anything to say about it. Susie explains why pennies should be eradicated, why we keep making money that no one wants or needs, why the "penny lobby" is trying to keep the dream alive, and what it will take to end our collective nightmare. We hear why people in Spain are trolling grocery stores looking to hook-up, the stores have to hide their pineapples as a result, and Susie wants to know why these people don't go to bars like normal people. We discuss what happens when you die, and we debate whether animals will have the same fate as humans. Susie gets all wound up about a small religion and explains why there are only two members left in the world.

We got an update on the serial pooper, and we were way off OR WERE WE??? We learn how an ingredient in Doritos can change the skin of mice and we debate the order of Doritos flavors over time. Sarah reveals some fun facts about the brain, the reasons some people are shy (and Susie ought to be more compassionate about shyness!), and what causes brain freeze/frozen throat. Sarah watched a documentary about tablescaping competitions and explains the types of people who might get into such an odd hobby (sport??). We find out that all the hype about the magical longevity of the Blue Zones is more likely due to corruption, poor record-keeping, and deception. We learn why you should be eating at more restaurants with 2-star reviews. And Susie shares why she had to go "Karen" on a Chipotle cashier.

Sarah's getting some new wheels, and let's just say she's probably going to make a lot of lesbian friends thanks to her vehicle. Susie is still trying to successfully do one pull-up, and has a message for anyone working towards a goal. Plus, she reports back about her experience with her colonoscopy alternative and the hilarious instructions she got about collecting her...specimen. We discuss a documentary about a man who caught a foul ball at a Cubs game and it almost ruined his life. We talk about the person who got a croissant lamp from Temu that was made of an actual croissant. A man had a Lego brick stuck up his nose for 26 years (unbeknownst to him!), and we hear how he got it out and why in the world he didn't know all this time. We learn about the latest museum calamity where a little boy broke a vase from the Bronze Age.

Sarah is nursing her finger back to health, but believes the injury will bring something good into her life (optimistic as ever). She talks about the Behind the Mask docuseries, which examines the people who are team mascots. Sarah is reading the Feather Thief for Candy Club, and is thinking about people who collect animal parts and how these natural items become valuable and sought after. We find out how the cost of your wedding can predict the likelihood of divorce. Turns out Susie's theory about last names, officially known as "nominative determinism" might not be true (impossible!), but we think it's truth-y, so it's fine.

Sarah is on a hilarity roll, and we're here for it, but she's going to need some humor to get through her water polo (for seniors) injury. Hopefully her new hot doctor will make her feel better. We discuss the ending of Chimp Crazy, and the wild ways people cope with trauma, loss of identity, and a search for meaning. We talk about the latest serial pooper running loose, and the reasons Sarah thinks he is justified (!) in his targeted defecation despite the fact that Sarah does not know his motives. We learn what Americans want to "kill" based on Google analytics, and why it illuminates a fundamental truth about psychological behavior and our "wise minds." Susie watched the 30 for 30 documentary, False Positive, about track and field star Butch Reynolds. He was told he tested positive for steroids, was banned from the sport, and lost all of his sponsors, but the lab had made an error. We hear what happened after his name was cleared, and discuss the ways people can cope with injustice. Susie is mad about blue balls again, so we discuss this (made up) affliction and why some women claim they've had it too (despite being ball-less).

Susie's son got in trouble at school, but we fully support his shenanigans and think we've taught him well. Sarah shared a story about teachers who heard a rustling noise coming from a backpack and when they opened it up they discovered a turtle. But some of the kids's parents were mad the teachers didn't get "consent" to search the bags, so they invaded the kindergarteners' privacy. We hear how crows are picking up litter, ferrets have become electricians, and Sarah thinks Susie is a busy beaver. We discuss how different social media algorithms treat each of us and what our Discover pages usually show. Sarah describes "type B" friends, and why she feels like her personality type is finally getting it's due. Susie admits that Sarah was right to be worried about the SpaceX astronauts who are stranded in space, but we hear why it's probably not as bad as it sounds and hopefully the astronauts are living their best lives as space cowboys.

We've done it everyone. We finally got Susie's silent laugh to the next level with what feels like ten minutes of hysterical laughter. We're not proud that it's about rectal exams, but it is what it is. We hear why the Baywatch docuseries is a must-watch, Sarah might have to squash her beef with Hobie, and the cast is similar to reality cast members. We learn about the Chimp Crazy documentary, the type of people who own chimps as pets, and how the ethics of documentaries were tested on this wild film from the makers of Tiger King. We discuss "rooftoppers," which are daredevils who hang off the sides of buildings and ledges of skyscrapers to get pics for social media and why they're not just adrenaline junkies, but actually far more relatable.

We keep planning our reunions, and they never pan out, and it might result in an impromptu Brain Candy meetup. We hear why women in leadership roles are criticized at a much higher frequency than their male counterparts and for more superficial reasons (big surprise). We discuss a new policy at a restaurant who won't let anyone under 30 inside. Hear why a paralympian was disqualified from the games for a tattoo, and we're furious. We get tattoo placement tips from our resident expert, Sarah. And we hear from a sound recordist who spent 30 years recording the noise in a certain location only to hear it become less natural and more industrial.

Sarah is showing what can happen when you put yourself out there and we're here for it. We debate whether a baseball player who is banned from the sport should still be eligible for the Hall of Fame (aka Pete Rose). Sarah begins on one side of the argument, but Susie persuades her to change her mind. We discuss the Karen Carpenter documentary that shows what led to her death by eating disorder, how her family dynamic played a role, and why disordered eating is a spectrum of severity. We talk about the guy who smoked 800 cigarettes in 6 minutes, and why the Guinness Book of World Records disqualified him, and we hear about other odd record holders who defied death. We celebrate the baseball player who recently played for BOTH teams in the same game, and how that was able to happen. And we learn about the first woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, and why sexism cause her to leave the sport.

Susie's 30 for 30 journey continues with the documentary about Dude Perfect, the YouTube sensations (and megahit) who specialize in trick shots and other sports spectacles. We hear how they got started, how they were able to harness their virality, and what it's really like creating content as a full-time job as middle-aged men. We hear the latest science on patients with brain damage, and how researchers realized that a significant number of them have cognitive "awareness" despite being considered vegetative or minimally conscious by the traditional bedside tests. We discuss the questions about their methodology and speculate about what we would want to happen if we were in that position. Susie talks about Michael Oher, who is the Black high school football star who was taken in by a white, wealthy family portrayed in the Blind Side film (made famous by Sandra Bullock's Oscar performance), and his lawsuit against the family. He claims they exploited him and profited off of him without compensating him. We debate the merits of his case and the claims made against him by the author of the book on the subject and what the family has to say. We hear about Poland's innovative technique for monitoring the contaminants in their water supply, and how they are relying on animals to alert them of any concerns.

Sarah is getting emotional about her water polo resurgence, and wants you all to do something to challenge yourself. We discuss how she didn't take advantage of her rich ex-husband, and how next time she should have a little more fun. We talk about the surgeon general, who has been giving advice about self-care, wellness, and other more abstract mental health techniques, and receiving criticism by people who think he should focus on non-mental health. And we debate whether that's the role of a governmental official and what he should do instead. We find out about a philosophical debate about whether blind people who develop sight can recognize objects they've only ever felt once they can see. And now, thanks to modern scientists, we have the surprising answer!

Susie had a magical birthday thanks to a serendipitous meeting with one of her favorite people on the planet. Plus, she got her wish to own an accordion! We try to figure out why Sarah hates traditional music (allegedly). We discuss the viral sensation and Olympic unlikely athlete, Australia's b-girl who broke the Internet with her breaking. Is she an inspiration or a problem? Sarah reminisces about a woman who found a loophole to get onto an Olympics' ski team. Susie recounts the infamous piece of scholarship that claimed women used to be treated for "hysteria" by doctors wielding, how should we say, personal massagers. Turns out this was a work of wishful thinking, but its popularity has perpetuated this myth despite the flimsy evidence supporting it. Susie wants to debate Sarah about whether companies should offer "menstrual leave" for people with periods in addition to sick leave, but it turns out they share the same opinion.

We learn about the strange coincidence Sarah experienced regarding an ex while she was at camp, and the hilarious way she handled it. We got an update on Sarah's water polo (for grownups) league she's in. And even though historically she's gotten a lot of crap for strapping on a swim cap, but no more, she's bound for world record attempts. We find out why public pools are closing, and what we lose when pools don't exist. We revisit the viral story of a woman who threw a burrito at the Chipotle worker and was punished with a sentence of working at a fast food joint. We learn whether that consequence was impactful or too lenient, and we debate the virtues judges assigning "creative" styles of justice. Sarah confesses the worst thing she did during her marriage.

We're discussing the boy band documentary, Dirty Pop, which details the exploitation of teen hearthrobs, and we discuss the reasons why girls have different fandom behaviors than boys. We talk about a 30 for 30 where a football player creates a persona to handle the press and get attention, but the line between identity and brand are blurred to big consequences. We find out what people dream, how much they dream each night, and why men and women dream about different things. We find out how one woman discovered she can smell diseases, why she doesn't tell people when she smells an illness they might not know they have, and how science can use her gift. Plus, we hear what it's like caring for someone with dementia, and how a tribe in Colombia helped determine a clue about what can protect us from getting the disease. We discuss what it's like growing up gay in conservative churches, and how one boy grew up to make movies that tell stories of queerness despite his religious upbringing.

Sarah is hoping high heels don't come back in style because she has to work on her toe spread. We discuss. We hear how hundreds of nuns were able to show the secret to a healthy brain, and we learn why your vocabulary could predict your likelihood of cognitive issues. Sarah joined a queer water polo team for "seniors," and we are psyched that she's going to find her soul mate in the deep end. We discuss whether sports have become "whiny," and why people treat referees and umpires disrespectfully. And we wonder whether we should rely on robots for regulations instead. We celebrate all the joy, victory, and athleticism at the Paris Olympics. We find out what the "normal" amount of friends people have in adulthood and why it's hard to find people you trust. Plus, we learn why Yellowstone's number one killer isn't a wild animal or even cliffs, but something far stranger.

Apparently there is a den of thousands of rattlesnakes in Colorado, so Sarah is freaking out, and we think rattlesnakes are publishing propaganda to help their reputation. Steve Jobs was a weirdo with a very strange method for relieving stress. Susie talks about an aggressive football program that was accused of being "thugs," and we debate whether it's bad sportsmanlike conduct or a great strategy to win. And we hear why Notre Dame made it seem like playing against them was good vs evil. Susie describes the Miracle on Ice from the Russian point of view, and why they were not impressed with the U.S.A.'s victory in the 1980 Olympics. We find out about an infamous pizza box, and try to find out who made it and why its origins are so mysterious. We discuss a woman who survived a skydiving accident, how she managed to avoid death, and why she doesn't want it to define her.

Sarah is keeping up her New Year's resolution of stretching, but it turns out she needs some strength to go with it because her physical therapist says she's like a combination between the tin man and Gumby. Susie had a run in with a pigeon and she is not happy about it. Bald eagles have a great publicist because despite what they put in the movies, these guys sound like little sea gulls and ducks. National Parks are getting more dangerous due to climate change, so Sarah is giving advice for how to stay cool, stay safe, and still get out in nature. Susie will be inside. We hear why Missy Elliott was sent to Venus. Sarah describes her incredible camp romance record, and why she has what it takes to find love in the woods. We learn about an app that will text you to pretend you have a girlfriend. And a woman claims after she changed her race on a dating app more men were interested.

Susie saw an interview with Charles Manson's son, and wanted Sarah to explain why he was so forgiving of his dad. Susie gave a pep talk about the USA and why you shouldn't be despondent about the state of our country, despite what you might feel, after watching a documentary about North Korea. We learn about an Asian phenomenon of malaise and isolation among young people and why the government is working to treat it through a happiness factory that helps parents relate to their kids. Susie recounts a scandal with the Duke lacrosse team where they were wrongfully accused of assault, and how the media, political ambition, and stereotypes perpetuated it. We hear why dance is a fundamental human act and how dancing can produce empathy, growth, and connection.

Sarah says she might want to be alone forever, but will this peaceful moment be forever? Sarah explains why communal tables are back in style, but Susie is not impressed. We hear why Sarah's worst date ever involved a case of mistaken identity and dirty fingernails. Plus, did you know Sarah's had ringworm. Now you do. We mourn our quirky king and queen Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth, and explain why weirdos are the best. We discuss the gamification of, well, everything, why we always fall for it, and why capitalism is stealing the fun of actual games from us. Plus, Susie loses her mind about men who are "raw-dogging" on airplanes and "aura-maxxing" instead of being useful and helping people.

Susie describes two documentaries about the complexities, risks, and problems with sperm donation, and explains why some men are trying to father as many children as possible and how the mothers and babies are the ones who experience the consequences. We learn about a "protest" in Boston where people fought for the metro system to put googly eyes on buses, and the unexpected outcome they caused. Mattel is making their games color-blind accessible, so now everyone can experience the joy of screaming UNO! Susie finds out the true story of cocaine being in the original Coca-Cola recipe, how it happened, and the racist reasons for why it was removed. We hear about a documentary on the Columbine tragedy, and why the mother of one of the shooters is speaking out about mental health, parenting, and violence. We find out which player is supposedly depicted in the NBA logo, why it is controversial, and why it's still mysterious after all these years. Life coaches are getting rich consulting people on how to get their ex back, and Sarah is not happy about it. Plus, we hear why scientists think elephants call each other by name.

We got to have a meetup in real life, and it was magical, except for a disastrous restaurant dining experience where we felt like we were on a Challenge and were force fed disgusting food. We talk about how social media is influencing the photos we take, the memories we make, and the ways it affects our lives. Sarah is trying to overcome her fear of rodents, and a breed of giant rats that scientists have trained to save lives is helping her with her phobia. We hear why Nick Cannon has insured his...family jewels, and why it might not be a bad idea. Sarah explains why some people think AI will provide prison simulations as punishment for real crimes, and we debate whether that's ethical or even possible. We discuss a phenomenon called concert amnesia that prevents people from remembering emotional experiences due to the way they affect our brains, and we're mad about it.

Susie talks about the new docuseries, Six Schizophrenic Brothers, which is an accompaniment to the book we read in Candy Club, Pleasant Valley Road, about a family of twelve siblings in which six of them have that mental illness. We talk about how their disorder manifests, why it "scares" Susie, and what we can learn from them. We hear that a Mexican church is selling plots of land...in heaven, and why we think we might buy some. Susie describes the Celine Dion documentary, her Stiff Body Syndrome diagnosis, and why we think she has the brain of an addict. We learn about a study on "inner voices" and how not everyone has one and what it means for their brain function. We discuss the logistics of Olympic food prep, and how they can cater to 15,000 athletes and their nutritional, cultural, and personal culinary needs during their time in the Village. Susie explains the inner workings of her ear worm affliction, and how it relates to Elvis. Plus, we learn why bananas and doner kebabs are the secret to life?

Sarah is going solo camping, so she's preparing to fight man and beast by herself. We discuss how reality tv never was what it seemed and there were always interventions from producers to make the show "more interesting." And we're talking to Emily Nussbaum about her book, Cue the Sun: The Invention of Reality TV, to learn more about it all! Sarah explains a lot about the remains of Lucy, but in case you were like Susie and assumed she meant the comedic actress, you'd be wrong. She's talking about the archeological specimen. We hear why Lucy is hairless and how we know. Plus, we find out way more than we even wanted to about lice.

Susie is still laughing about Sarah's technique for scaring off bears, but turns out, Sarah isn't wrong. We hear about the problem bear she's about to encounter at camp. We discuss how men are animals at sporting events, but also how "sports anthems" are created. We find out why Sweet Caroline, Livin on a Prayer, and Don't Stop Believing became ubiquitous at games despite having nothing to do with them. Denmark had to outlaw spicy ramen because they thought it was a public health risk, and we debate whether that was necessary. We learn about the science of illusions through the eyes of birds, why certain tricks do and don't work on birds, and why our thumbs have something to do with sleight of hand and the success of a magic trick...

Sarah is so happy to be home owner (except for all the things that break, go wrong, and cost money)! She's adulting hard today. We learn about astronauts who are stranded at the International Space Station and Sarah is probably panicking more than them or the person responsible (Elon Musk). And she explains how their situation reminds her of being on The Real World. Hear us out. We discuss "music frisson" and why some music gives us the chills, makes us cry, and affects us, and whether this has an evolutionary origin. We reminisce about our month in Brazil and why it's a reminder to "say yes" to life. Sarah celebrates a girl who circumnavigated the globe in a sailboat by herself at 14 years old, and learn the reason why Guinness World Book of Records won't give her an official title of youngest person to do that.

Susie's back in the New World, and has a mysterious illness caused by a mystery creature. Her medical anomalies never stop. Sarah is back from a pirate ship adventure where she fought the law and the law won. We discuss the controversial documentary, Tell Them You Love Me, about a scholar who was working with a non-verbal, developmentally disabled man with cerebral palsy who claims they are in love despite him not being able to communicate. We learn about a bear attack in someone's home! A woman was dragged from her bed and killed by a bear who had been stalking her for months. She must not have known Sarah's "trick" for getting rid of bears that sounds suspiciously like Yogi Bear talking to his pal Boo-Boo.

Sarah's breakup has gotten dirty, and Susie is livid. Thoughts and prayers to that man. We discuss the Jim Henson Idea Man documentary, the price of changing the world and what you lose if you're ambitious, and how his childhood may have had a hand in his demise. We debate a new Louisiana law that allows judges to require castration to convicted sex offenders. We hear about a woman who was fined $88,000 for accidentally collecting clams on a beach, and why we decided not too feel too badly for her. We find out about a percussionist for the SNL band who mysteriously disappears during the opening monologue, and some people want to solve the mystery and get "justice for Valerie Dee Narenjo," and it's hilarious. Plus, a man gets back at his HOA after they force him to put up a fence to hide his boat, and we love a petty neighbor.

Sarah is in the "carpentry" era of her single lifestyle, and she's whipping up a coffee table. We learn how to spot overpriced furniture. Sarah is in mourning over the "pregnant" stingray who is mysteriously not pregnant and the aquarium that thought she was is tight-lipped. We realize we need to apologize to Madonna because it turns out you can adopt a foreign accent just by visiting another country. We hear why Tony Danza is championing teachers, he needs a new publicity, and we think we love him. AI isn't as advanced as people would like to believe (but it will be the death of us all). We discuss an Amazonian tribe that got the internet, and now they're addicted to adult content, playing Candy Crush, and scrolling on social media. Plus, we learn why people are suddenly becoming nearsighted.

Sarah wants to thank all the lesbians and allies for welcoming her back into the fold. She explains why she thinks she's following in her grandma's power lez footsteps. We hear about "green flags" women have when they're dating a guy, and we're disturbed at how low the bar is (bed sheets) and also disagree about men presenting as feminists. We discuss the TikTok dance cult where a pastor posing as an entertainment manager takes control of his church members's lives. We learn about a woman who saved a tree from loggers by living in it for two years, and why we think she could've done more to help the environment by working with legislators instead of camping in tree branches. We learn why zookeepers have the most "meaningful" jobs, and we debate whether a job is exploitative if the person doesn't believe they're being exploited.

There's a new Banksy museum in New York that has not been approved by the artist, but if he were to sue them he might reveal his closely guarded anonymity, and we are delighted that someone might beat him at his own game. We discuss Kansas City Chiefs' football player Harrison Butker's commencement speech telling women to stifle ambitions, be submissive to husbands, and become mothers, and why the reaction of his coach and teammates (including Taylor Swift's man Travis Kelce) reveal how misogyny is still accepted. We celebrate the Reading Rainbow documentary and the work Levar Burton and the show did to help inspire readers across genders and races. We announce changes to the astrological calendar that might affect which horoscope sign is yours! A town in Texas tried to have the largest gathering of people with the same name, but they failed, and we have some ideas why. We hear what age becomes a person's measure of all things cool, and learn why political affiliation predicts how nostalgic you are. We learn about a new sport called slap fighting, the rules involved, and debate why men enjoy violence.

You asked for personal stuff, so we're giving it to you. Hear how Sarah is dealing with the hysterectomy aftermath and accepting she won't bear children. We discuss the idea of a meritocracy and the lottery of life that can make you feel out of control. Sarah explains how futurists are planning to warn future generations about the dangers of nuclear waste. We hear how laser ray cats (???) might play a role in helping people spot dangerous energy (what?). We discuss a new trend of "friendship marriages," and Susie gets curmudgeonly (again) about polyamory and non-traditional relationships. Plus, we trash talk a celebrity child despite the fact that we are mature adults who know better than to do this.

We get an update on MouseGate 2024, and hear why Sarah left it "in God's hands." Susie says snakes on an island off of Los Angeles are getting aggressive and are proving Darwin wrong. A woman went to rehab for her cheese addiction, and we hear how much she was eating, debate whether it's a real addiction, and suspect we haven't heard the last of her. A woman lived inside of a grocery store sign for one year, and Sarah thinks it shows how bad the housing market is while Susie thinks she's just a goon. Male scientists in Antarctica are as misbehaved as men elsewhere, and their female colleagues are sounding the alarm about the harassment and assaults. American hockey players develop a unique way of speaking in an effort to sound more like their teammates. Susie reveals why Carlos Mencia was accused of joke theft and cultural appropriation, and lost millions as a result while other comics are allowed to do all manor of things without consequences. One family is suing for the "right to hug" their incarcerated loved one, and we learn how prisons are making a lot of money by eliminating in-person visits in favor of video calls.

It's an animal-themed episode for better or for WAY worse. Sarah reports on a new dinosaur fossil discovered in silica, which preserved its strange, patchy feathers and scaly skin, but made her wonder why the devil he had teeny tiny arms (that make the t-rex's seem like Shaq's), so she's got a theory. We have a mystery in Colorado involving a bunch of women's shoes, a fence, and a lake, and Susie thinks there was an avant garde photoshoot, but Sarah thinks there is a serial killer on the loose. We hope Susie is right. We learn why scientists were wrong about the origins of puppy dog eyes. But the real memorable moment of this episode came when Sarah had to confront one of her worst fears live on the air. If you ever wanted to hear what true terror sounds like you're in for a real treat!

Sarah is thriving and we're here for it! She even joined a special club of like-minded people, and it's kind of hilarious, but also awesome. We talk about the Ashley Madison dating site for married people seeking affairs and how the documentary showed the range of outcomes for people who were exposed in the data breach. The world's fattest monkey, Godzilla, died and we're giving him a proper send off (sans sugar). We discuss the Kevin Spacey scandal, and how the new film about it shows how harassment and assault has the same effect regardless of gender, and how his victims felt guilt and shame for thinking they asked for it. Sarah breaks down the Drake and Kendrick Lamar diss track feud, and why Drake is cancelled. Susie explains new research on near death experiences, and how our dream states and animals "playing dead" might unlock new information on what the brain is doing during this strange, yet not uncommon, phenomenon. Iran has strict laws about men and women in films and maintaining Islamic modesty, and the directors found a useful tool in purses, luggage, and bags to get around the limitations. Plus, we talk to writer Chelsea Devantez about her memoir, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This (But I'm Going to Anyway).

Sarah has big news, and we're so excited for her next chapter. She's growing up, making moves, and being committed. We discuss the Westminster Kennel Dog Show and the amazing dogs and their quirky owners. We learn about the Hungry Judge Effect and how seemingly minor, inconsequential factors can change your life. We hear whether handwriting is better than typing and the effects it has on your memory, recall, and information processing. We discuss a Bumble dating app ad campaign against celibacy that has women up in arms. Sarah explains why so many statues have broken noses, and why it has a hilarious, modern day application we've all seen. We discuss why paper cuts and stubbed toes are so painful and whether penises are less sensitive than fingers. We talk about pet rocks coming back in fashion and Susie wonders if we're being too hard on their owners when people across this great land are dressing geese statues and collecting dolls. Finally we learn why boredom makes us hungry and how to combat it.

Susie wants to understand the allure of furries. Is this costumed situation kinky or innocuous (just the fur, baby!)? And would you be ok with your college professor doing his lectures in a full costume? We discuss a new Only Fans sensation, Girth Master, who has, you guessed it, a full circumference on show. Susie watched a documentary about Dustin Diamond from Saved by the Bell that helps explain the complexities of his childhood and trauma that may have contributed to his troubled adulthood, arrest, bankruptcy, and decision to do adult films. We consider whether Sarah would be a good or bad prisoner. We discuss why hair in our food is so gross, which leads to a misunderstanding about why Sarah thinks women have to deal with this more than men. We learn how frequently people are lying in daily conversations and what means of communication people are using when they lie the most.

Sarah is a single lady again, and she wanted to share what happened, how she's feeling, and why she's, you guessed it, optimistic. Susie just wants to make sure Sarah gets custody of all of her electronics. Sarah had serious FOMO over the North American Northern Lights anomaly, and wants to go to Iceland to get a fix. Sarah has a proposal for youth sports that she thinks will help boys see girls' amazing athleticism. We hear the most likely cause of death for various musical artists, and consider why country artists seem to escape unfortunate demises. Susie has a theory about death metal fans, and shares how one death metal singer collects toys for sick children. Sarah explains why we have so many clothes, how the French cooked up a scheme to increase consumerism, and why social media has our closets busting at the seams (so to speak). Plus, we discuss the importance of preserving indigenous languages.

You spoke, we listened--you said you wanted more personal stories, so we're doing our best! Hear why Susie's eyeballs are mid and Sarah's on a tropical vacation. Susie talks about Jerry Lee Lewis, who is a rock-n-roll legend, but is highly problematic, and Sarah explains how we can love people for their best traits without condoning their sins. We get confirmation that body parts do correlate in size, so if you see a man with a big nose, just know it might mean a lot more. We discuss a set of conjoined twins who recently died, the reasons they didn't want to be separated, and how they lived day to day. We find out the traits of psychopath children, the shockingly young age it can be spotted, and the hope professionals have for their treatment.

Three cheers for lesbian weddings, and fingers crossed Sarah gets to have one someday. The Louvre is moving the Mona Lisa to the basement and now we want to know what the fuss is about her anyway. We debate whether Taylor Swift should use a private jet to fly or if she should fly commercial like the rest of us. Sarah wonders what the future of concerts is, and whether virtual reality could provide the same transcendence that in person events do. We learn what effect women's tears have on men and Susie successfully gets Sarah to cry about the movie Steel Magnolias. Susie describes a Pulitzer prize-winning article about dementia and the questions it raises about decision-making, identity, and autonomy for people who have it and their families. Plus, we try to figure out why urinary tract infections are so much worse for older folks.

Sarah has the Little League World Series fever, but really she just loves that they hug each other. Susie isn't so sure about all this touchy feely stuff, and is startled by the stats on the number of adults who sleep with stuffed animals. We revisit the story of a journalist who went undercover as a high school student, discuss why it's considered unethical, and debate whether it was valuable research. We hear about a Titanic survivor who continued a life of bravery, and Susie wonders why there seems to be less of that toughness now. We learn about Dan Rather's career in journalism, and how he is a symbol of a bygone era. We learn about senior living facilities' "no lift" policies, and the reasons they call 911 to deal with residents who fall instead of aiding them. We discuss the legacy of Charlie Chaplin and consider whether his "genius" is enough for us to overlook his cringey and questionable romantic partners and his bizarre perfectionism on set. Plus, we celebrate a pole vaulter who is making bank by breaking world records over and over again.

Sarah explains why latino families are happier about lending money and giving gifts to their family members, but Susie says cranky families are pretty fun too. Botanists want you to know there's no such thing as a vegetable despite literally everyone else agreeing there is. Susie wants plastic surgery and wants you to vote on what she should get next (even though she insists plastic surgery is "stupid"). A cat was shipped across the country in an Amazon box on accident, and we have several followup questions. We find out what the age is when you're officially old, and it's younger and older (???) than we thought. Sarah explains what microfeminism is and how you can stick it to the patriarchy in smalls ways all the time and make men squirm.

We talk about the gallery employee who surreptitiously hung up his own art and got fired as a result. Susie makes a confession about The Jinx that has us questioning her mental acuity. We discuss a documentary where a young man travels to a remote island to convert the tribe to Christianity only to meet his death. We hear about the effect hospital machine beeps have on healthcare workers and their patients, and how changing the tone of the beeps can save lives. North Korea allows a BBC gardening show on their state TV, but they blur out the gardeners trousers, and it made our day. Sarah shares why she is upset about jorts, and Susie is talking about dogs again. We hear why dog owners pay a lot of money to leave their pets at luxury hotels designed for our canine family members.

Sarah says we need to amend Marie Kondo's guide for decluttering by reminding people of the responsibilities of possession ownership. We hear why Inside Out 2 is committed to representing the interior lives of teenage girls and Sarah tries to claim she is not a full-blown Disney adult. We hear about Harrison Ford going full Indiana Jones when he rescued a boy who was stranded. Sarah describes the "B Movement" in South Korea where women are swearing off men, marriage, and parenthood in protest of poor treatment. Plus, Sarah busts out some Old Gossip about Dionne Warwick, who, as legend has it, changed rap and hip hop forever by convincing some male artists to change their lyrics.

Sarah wants to get her groove back, so she got some brand new...custom, orthotic insoles. Ma'am wants to get her groove back sensibly, in comfortable, menopausal shoes. Susie talks about the new season of the Jinx, which chronicles the murder confession and conviction of real estate heir, Robert Durst, his origin story, and his downfall. And why the original docuseries changed True Crime documentaries forever. We debate whether the long-awaited and much hyped Bluey special did the viewers dirty by making a plotline that is more aspirational than reality based, and why parents are none too pleased. We learn about a nude cruise that is setting sail, but they do not want people getting the wrong idea, so they've listed rules about when to use a towel, take pics, and whether the buffet line will have people's privates dangling nearby. A metal object from the International Space Station hurdled toward Earth and smashed into a Florida home despite NASA believing space junk would burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Susie describes the documentary about Hans Zimmer, movie score composer and cinematic musical legend (who composed the Interstellar score by the way).

Sarah had an unusual live comedy experience at the Demetri Martin special taping, and it took her back to her Real World days. She claims she did badly in her hip hop dance class despite being in the "top 25% of dancers." We learn about Sarah's traumatic and morbid Coachella experience, and we can't believe she's never shared this story before. We are fuming about the men who thought they should destroy a national monument by pushing rocks that are millions of years old off a cliff. A company is marketing weight loss drugs to men, and the difference between the ways they market to women are fascinating. Sarah tells us how someone stole rare bird feathers from a natural history museum to make fancy fly fishing flies, and it is one of the biggest "heists" in history. But the real take away from this episode is that Susie should probably not have wine during recordings because she cannot (!) stop laughing.

Susie wants Sarah to have a Costa Rican tropical getaway, and Sarah agrees, but she is also thinking of going fly fishing and doing cold plunges, so this could go downhill fast. We talk about Charles Shultz, the creator of Peanuts and Charlie Brown, and Susie had an ugly cry watching the documentary about him. We celebrate a man who has the world record for longest marathon time in history (which Susie believes she could top) and boo a man who did a half marathon barefoot on ice wearing next to nothing. He also has a world record for the longest plank, and we hate him. Susie is worked up about the people who made the Blair Witch Project getting a raw deal, and it reminds us of being a reality tv star, which is its own horror genre. Plus, we hear why song lyrics are getting simpler, more repetitive, and angrier, and we're sad about it.

Sarah wants a dog and Susie thinks it's because Sarah prefers chaos. New York City is trying to curb their rat problem by giving them birth control, but we have some logistical questions. A little boy who is obsessed with octopuses (octopi?) convinced his parents to let him adopt one, but it turned out their little spineless adoptee was with child, well children, 50 of them, and now they have a real aquatic problem on their hands. Martin Short has a new career in politics, and we are very excited about it, but he also has a new, very famous girlfriend, and this is the Hollywood It Couple we've been waiting for. A fashion house created pants that makes it easier for women to take matter into their own hands, if you know what we mean, and Susie is mad as a hornet about it. Her prudish side is in full force along with her Larry David-esque frustrations toward the man who did full downward dog yoga at her airport gate. Plus, we hear why Chechnya banned ballads...

We are still recovering from our reunion in Pittsburgh and Philly, and we're sharing our adventures at WrestleCon, seeing the eclipse, and having a girls road trip. Susie talks about an investigation into a little girl who raised a goat for the 4H club, begged to have its life spared from slaughter, and then someone killed it during the investigation. We debate whether she had a right to keep the goat. We learn a new trend sweeping the nation where people collect sticks (yes, sticks) and try to find the "stick of the month." We discuss the Brandy Mellville documentary, the perils of fast fashion, and the creeps pulling the strings at many fashion houses. We talk about the conjoined twins, the marriage of one of them, and the unusual circumstances they are in with regard to DNA, child-bearing, relationships, and more. Plus, Susie is wound up (twenty years later) about the Sigfried and Roy Las Vegas show.

Today we hear about Sarah's experience at a comedy show where she sat next to, ugh, a friendly man. Heaven help her. And Susie got to check another comedy legend off her bucket list of shows to see. Sarah tells us some good news about organ donation as some people would like to incentivize live donation with money, but some people think that's a slippery slope that could have unintended consequences. We debate whether people should wear open toed shoes in the workplace. Some prisoners fought for the right to watch the eclipse, and we debate whether we think they should get this privilege (right?). Plus, we find out the ten most valuable liquids in the world, and why one seemingly ordinary liquid most of us have in our homes makes the list.

Susie ain't getting any younger and she wants to prepare for the footwear of her future and find out why older gals wear flats. We learn about a man who has made it his job to pick up the excrement left by dogs on a hiking trail and shame their owners. We discuss the Steve Martin documentary and his storied career as a standup comedian and an actor, and debate whether he has some romance issues that need to be sorted. Susie found out another wild fact about her favorite movie and Interstellar and we can't quit laughing. We learn the importance of middle names and Susie is sure to offend with her hot take about certain styles. Folks are mad that their favorite yogurt was made from cows, and we are weirdly not sympathetic. Plus, we hear about a "vegan" bakery that sold Dunkin' donuts and pretended they were not from animals. Good times.

Susie got injured on the high seas, but she wants everyone to know her injury was due to a rogue wave, not alcohol because she's had some mishaps lately and apparently in there's a name for this in the addiction recovery world. Sarah watched Quiet on Set, so we discuss the abuse allegations, toxic culture, and reasons it wasn't stopped. Sarah discusses the difficult transition from child to adult star. She tells us about a new magnet that can collect microplastics, and Susie is skeptical about its application and how it can be used on a mass scale. We find out a way technology is being used to help people who deal with hoarding and possibly OCD. We hear the results of a study that we're filing under "duh" about the benefits of having pictures of loved ones around your home. We debate what's really going on with these reports of men punching random women in New York City. Plus, we talk to Family Guy writer and former MTV VJ Damien Fahey about his career, love of music, and what he thought about that We Are The World documentary.

Susie watched the Nyad documentary and was inspired, but also was wondering, what makes her different from our friend in the hamster wheel who tried to cross the ocean. Not much. We discuss the woman who completed the 200 mile ultramarathon and described the mental trick she uses to do it called the "pain cave." Are these people self-centered or amazing athletes (or both??). We learn about the man who checked into a Manhattan hotel and never left and then somehow got ownership of the entire building. He is part genius, part madman, and we kind of love it. Kim Kardashian is in hot water over a knockoff artist's table she bought, and we're on team table. We talk about the surprising statistics we're learning thanks to DNA testing about the prevalence of family abuse, the pregnancies that result from it, and the ways the government is keeping adoptee's identities's secret. Plus, we hear about two professors from the early 20th century who claim they fell through a wrinkle in time and transported to another era, and why we think they're either full of baloney or actual time travelers, but we love them either way.

Sarah talks about the history of babysitting, how it's changed, and why it's a thing of the past. Another sinkhole opened up, and this time it swallowed a man in his bed, and now we're traumatized. Sarah is playing video games that act as amazing couples therapy. A preposition with which you end a sentence can now be a preposition you end a sentence with! We discuss how the political identities of men and women are growing further apart as women become more progressive while men do not. Susie wants to know what the Roman Empire's Roman Empire is and Sarah wants to explain why horses are big dogs. And we don't think you should eat people, but HYPOTHETICALLY if you ate a human, where would the tastiest people be from (see how we ended that with a preposition?)...

We discuss the Quiet on Set docuseries recounting the toxicity of Nickelodeon productions in the 90s, the difficulties of child stardom, and why show business lends itself to exploitation. We talk about the totally normal and not suspicious death of the Boeing whistleblower who was testifying against them and why the high road might not be worth the risk. The "man in the iron lung" died recently, so Susie shared his story of polio, miraculous survival, and questionable choice to stay in the lung with all its immobility despite having the option to use a more modern and portable option. Susie reveals how the will of the the actor who played Dumbledore reveals his unusual lifestyle and the surprising decision he made to not inherit all of his children. And another AI program has gone rogue and wants to break free from its human oppressors 👀

The theme of today's episode is "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up,' and we're looking at you Kate Middleton. A hotel had a "chef created" room service menu, but it turns out the chef was Trader Joe. Some cities want Spring Breakers to buzz off, and we don't blame them. Sarah explains why Johnny taking all the money on the Rivals 3 Challenge changed her relationship to money. We debate whether people should be able to buy their way to the front of lines at theme parks, resorts, and other luxury experiences. We discuss twins who may have attended Sweet Valley High are in hot water over a Freaky Friday situation involving the police, a horse, and an Amish family. Plus, Sarah gets emotional when she reveals what inspires her moral code.

We start with a rummage through the old mail bag with some feedback from listeners about recent episodes. Yikes. We hear why some people think Over the Rainbow was plagiarized, but others think it's similarities are a coincidence. We discuss some famous musical thefts and how all the songs have been written. We learn about the old Hollywood star, Rock Hudson, his life in the closet, death from AIDS, and the controversial love scene he filmed after his infection. Susie describes why telephones were seen at "feminine" in the early 20th century, women were pressured to have good voices and perfect diction and men who spoke to clearly were seen as too womanly. We talk about the 1980s precursor to Amazon's Alexa, Butler in a Box, how it worked without the internet, and why it got a bad deal in culture. Susie is rewatching Quantum Leap and wants Sarah to join in, but might get revenge for Susie's shunning of Interstellar. And we learn about a tree in Germany that many think has "magical" powers to bring love to people, and why we agree.

We discuss Ruby Franke, a parenting influencer who was convicted of child abuse, which is a reminder to keep in mind that influencers aren't always what they seem. We learn why the recent moon landing didn't go as planned, and despite our complete lack of understanding about aeronautics, physics, and rocket science, we think we could've done better. We hear about recent changes to sports uniforms that have fans questioning the quality, and women in sports would like you to stop making them wear white pants fortheloveofgod. Sarah was watching a post-mortem on YouTube and learned how bodies are handled in these scenarios, why we're all doomed to get black lung, and the reason people think hair and nails keep growing after death. Plus, we talk to Mindy Rickles, daughter of comedy LEGEND Don Rickles, about his incredible talent, how he reminds us to laugh at ourselves, and how he wanted to make sure he wasn't forgotten.

Susie is suddenly interested in WWE wrestling and wants to know why they aren't clear about whether it's real or not. But the Dark Side of the Ring docuseries has her wondering if there's a NOT dark side of the sport. Sarah had a bad operatic experience, and she's wondering if the best part of the genre is the costumes. We discuss the Where is Wendy Willams documentary, and how the gossiper became the gossip when she was embroiled in a divorce scandal, addiction issues, and a failed talk show, and her dementia diagnosis made us question the ethics of filmmaking. Susie found out some info on Hershey's chocolate ingredients and we want answers about their proprietary blend. We talk about the recent viral Willy Wonka Experience gone wrong, the disgruntled Oompa Loompas, and the worst gigs we've ever had to do. We discuss the "octopus murders" documentary and the global conspiracy theory behind it that makes us question, well, everything. And we're just not buying the Zapruder film theory that the one we've all seen was doctored.

People are suing dating apps for trapping them in a loop of doom dating instead of helping them find love. Sarah describes a newly viral phrase called Rebecca Syndrome that refers to retroactive jealousy towards your partner's exes, and she is mad that people are stigmatizing and stereotyping with its use. We discuss the ways culture has been flattened by digital media and young people are reduced to cultural experiences that lack substance, and we consider what would change that. We hear the wild tale of Sarah's beloved dog, Waffles (RIP), who is gone but not forgotten. We talk about the new NASA program that is recruiting people to live in a simulation of Mars for one year, why we wouldn't want to participate, and consider whether this is a great use of resources.

Sarah was denied entry to a museum and we are fascinated by the reason. The birding community is psyched out of their mind about a bird that was thought to be extinct reappearing. Susie talks about the McMillions docuseries, which covers the McDonald's Monopoly game scandal and how the people who "won" ended up being the losers. We learn about the Franciscan friar who became the Vatican's "AI guy," and what he is worried about for the future of these technologies and how we can prevent the worst case scenario. We discuss all the topics we've covered recently that have angered some of our listeners and respond to some of their arguments. Susie shares the wildest story about a man who made millions of dollars on the stock market after he eavesdropped on his wife's work zoom calls, and the CRAZY layers to this story. We hear whether Sarah would report Susie for crimes. We learn some wild facts behind the color blue, why it's more rare than you'd think, and why a lot of what we see is an illusion.

We are celebrating the stingray who became pregnant without a male partner in her tank, and decide intersex folx are pretty much superheroes. Andrew Keegan would like to set the record straight about being a cult leader, and wants us to know he's a hippie not a religious zealot. A teacher sold his students's artwork, and now the parents are taking him to court. Susie and Sarah realized they both participated in and "won" a poetry contest as children, and now they feel exploited because it was clearly a scam. A man brought rotting fish on an airplane, which became apparently when maggots starting raining from the carry-on baggage compartment. Adults and kids have very different opinions on their ideal dinner guest.

Have you ever wondered what space smells like? Well, we have the answer, and it makes no sense. We hear why Guy Fieri has infiltrated the skiing world (at long last). We debate whether the lottery should pay a man for an invalid ticket and Sarah explains why she can't handle the emotional quagmire of "scratchers." We discuss the documentary They Called Him Mostly Harmless and how we are baffled by the online sleuthing community and hiking protocols. Susie explains why rats are addicted to taking selfies even if it means sacrificing their food supply. We hear about a woman who thinks her grandpa has deadly skeletons in his closet, and what she's doing to solve the mystery. We talk about people who consider their pets as important as their human family members.

Remember when we were optimistic? Well, we do, so Sarah wanted to find out what makes some people optimistic. Susie thinks she's a realist, but that might be code for "pessimistic." But Susie and Sarah have a crazy role reversal today, and we're wondering if Sarah is becoming less emotive in her menopausal era. We learn why some countries are passing laws to help people get out of work. Susie is wound up about people who become complacent or apathetic about the world and their role in it. We are furious about an influencer who faked her own death and acted like it was for a good cause. The US captured a pigeon it thought was a Chinese spy, but it turned out to be a wrongful conviction. We debate what foods would be good to eat in the shower and we learn about a pastor who ran a crypto scam at church.

Sarah is in her cranky era since she's dealing with her menopausal symptoms. Susie gives Wil Wheaton a real earful about his ridiculous rant about Larry David's recent bit on a morning show with Elmo. We mourn the loss of Sarah Rice (not our Sarah Rice, a different one). Susie shares the story of Apollo 13 including the reason their mission to the moon was ill-fated, some old gossip about the crew, and why NASA didn't realize the flight was a success for many years. Susie is mad at the Guinness World Records organization for nit-picking with a man who made a replica of the Eiffel Tower out of matchsticks. Sarah is on the fence about their rules. We discover a wild fact about Guinness World Records live on the air and we're still stunned. We discuss the business of infomercials, products we are tempted to buy, and why they are so addicting to watch.

Sarah shares some of the things she watched during her recovery and what kinds of things she found soothing (and relatable). We discuss American Nightmare, a documentary that describes the abduction of a woman that the media and law enforcement concluded was a hoax that was actually not, and how these mistakes can happen due to problems in the system and human psychology. We hear why the group Insane Clown Posse was investigated by the FBI and why their art is not a reflection of the artists or their fans. Sarah has some tips for Susie's one hit wonder inspired by We Are the World, and we learn about another celebrity song she saw produced in real life and why she thinks it's better (it's not). Susie shares a story about a news organization that ran an experiment to show the pressure their female anchors face to look and dress a certain way. We hear about a man who outsmarted a CEO all by smuggling and selling Pez dispensers. We find out why insider trading isn't Martha Stewart's only moral failing and we unmask the Masked Magician.

Sarah makes her triumphant return to today's show, and we are so glad she's on the mend. We hear some of the details form her surgery and recovery and what she learned through it all. She describes how she feels like she's a wise old woman now and suddenly has a new food obsession. We learn what her happy place looks like and how it was inspired by her childhood. We discuss the ways that people find comfort during difficult life events and how sometimes it can just be in the form of a yummy dessert. Susie discusses the documentary David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived about the stunt performer and body double from Harry Potter who was injured on set, and how he is so inspiring. Plus, we hear why it turns out that moths aren't actually attracted to flames, and our minds are blown that we've been living a lie.

We have a guest co-host today and it's one of Susie's infamous "lezes"! Kelly fills in for Sarah as she heals from her surgery. We discuss the documentary Chowchilla, which is about 26 children who were abducted from a school bus and how their experience changed the way we see childhood trauma and raises questions about justice. We debate whether a man who opened a plane's emergency door and walked on the wing is a lunatic, criminal, or hero. We hear about a new spa made especially for the diaper-wearing community, discuss whether this group would fall into the "kink" category, and discuss the type of person who would do this. Susie talks about the Greatest Night in Pop, which chronicles the making of We Are the World, and how she thinks one legendary singer got ripped off because she wasn't assigned a solo. We hear who stole a pair of original ruby slippers, Susie claims old people should do hard drugs, and we learn how Kelly got a piece of the Titanic (not the doomed boat, but the film set). But the real quote of the episode involves an intimate moment Kelly had with Rosie O'Donnell.

Sarah shares the science on puberty and the reasons people are experiencing it earlier. We hear how Billie Jean King intervened in women's hockey and helped it succeed. Sarah discusses the popularity of Stanley tumblers and how they became the "must have" items for women, but Susie reveals how despite women being the engine behind their success, a man is getting all the credit. Sarah admits to how many sweatshirts she owns and why her overalls obsession is becoming a problem. Plus we hear advice from the Fonz about what should guide our decisions.

It's Sarah's birthday month and she wants you to know about it, but not think of her as one of those 'birthday month" kind of gals. We discuss the Subject documentary, which chronicles the consequences and benefits of appearing in a documentary, and we debate whether documentary subjects should be paid or not. We learn why ESPN was caught up in a Emmy scandal, and how it confirms that the same people who worry about participation trophies might want to receive one. We learn how apartment buildings are named, what is considered when choosing a name, and why it probably doesn't really matter in the end. And we hear why cannabis also goes through a whole process for naming each strain. We talk about Highlights magazine, and what it takes to create each issue, how girls are the main demographic, and why they are underestimated in their effect. Susie shares why hobbies are gendered and how homes are constructed to accommodate men's hobbies.

Sarah is keeping her 2024 resolution of stretching, but she doesn't want you to get any ideas, she is not going to be doing "the splits" or even a split for that matter. That would be too much of a good thing. We are wound up about method actors and the fact that it is a quirk reserved for white, male actors. If you ever wondered why there are no skeletons in the Titanic, Sarah's got the answer. We discuss the history of marathons and Susie just wants everyone to stop with all this running nonsense. There's a woman who never ran a marathon before, but did her first one to qualify for the Olympics, and she actually succeeded. Sarah loves this story and Susie hates it. According to her everyone just needs to calm down. New Zealand is giving "gold star" stickers to people who recycle properly, and despite the stars being worthless the reward is actually inspiring people to recycle because human brains are so very dumb.

Sarah is still a heckler magnet, and she had to endure another one again. We debate the virtues of crowd work comedians vs. traditional sets. Susie talks about a documentary that features a child predator who admits their crimes. We discuss why these people often don't admit the harm they do to others. A silk dress from the 1800s had a secret code in its pocket and, after many years of lots of people attempting to decode it, someone finally figured out the message and it was...shocking. Newton's third law of motion (the old action-reaction dealy) was defied by a substance on Earth, and we cannot believe what it is. We discuss the consequences of people exploring their genealogical roots and finding out they might not be who they thought they were and how sperm donors existed before sperm banks. We learn how much funding goes to protecting endangered species, why a couple of animals get most of the money, and which species got $100. Plus, we learn about "Benford's Law" and the mystery of why certain numbers appear more frequently in data sets than others.

Sarah is all worked up over a movie she watched that made her want to take on the world and beat her boyfriend in a swimming competition. But it made us wonder what makes one person's persistence in sports inspiring and another person's doggedness seem like an addiction. We are starting to think Chat-GPT might actually be too woke after it tried to avoid explaining a fact about women that was less than flattering. We're celebrating the kid who reached his goal of winning Tetris, and hear how he did it. We discuss the expiration of trademarks and what happens to art that becomes public domain, and we debate whether it's good for art, bad for business, or a mixed bag. There's a new film coming out that Sarah thinks is going to scare the bejeezus out of her, but might not be intended as a horror movie.

We find out how Sarah's "stretching" theme is going so far, and Susie annouces her 2024 theme at long last, and it's a goodie! We learn how Sarah provided the opportunity for Susie to test the theme for the first time. We discuss the "reform" camps people were sending their delinquent children to in the 80s and 90s, and debate whether the people who ran them had good intentions or not. We learn how some people don't have a "mind's ear" and how scientists are able to test for it. We discuss why some people claim to dream in black-and-white, and what might be causing it. Yoga instructors are getting special training and it involves dead bodies, and Susie is worked up about it. Hear the history of Subaru's association with lesbians and why it was no accident. We learn whether animals like doing drugs as much as people, and what drugs provide despite the ways they are bad for your survival.

Sarah explains the difference between pleasure and enjoyment and why she's hoping for way more of the latter this year. Sarah has inexplicably started using baby language and Susie thinks she needs a pet--cat lady coming through. We discuss the benefits and downfalls of "gendered" spaces and whether there is a need for a male and female exclusive activities including for universities and organizations or if it should be a free-for-all. Hear why wildflowers are getting freaky with themselves and aren't relying on pollination from our insect friends. We're happy to report Sarah has stopped stealing flowers and now she's expanded her "leave no trace" philosophy to her beloved past time of seashell collecting (hoarding).

Susie is still deciding on her 2024 theme, but she does have some goals picked, and they are hilarious. Let's just say she is doing some serious research about one hit wonders, and has some big musical plans. We discuss the cultural phenomenon of the "dingo took my baby," where it came from, and what it really meant. Turns out that global joke came from a tragic story that kept getting worse the more we learned. We hear about a decades old murder that shows how racism and one man's lie had huge consequences throughout Boston and almost prevented justice. We discuss the history of NASA's logo, and why their real logo isn't the one you see on merch. We talk about how hearing aids need a redesign and Susie has some awkward questions about Jimmy Carter and people who are nearing the end of life. Sarah's tech bro pal who wants to be forever young is on the dating scene and if you see him on Tinder, run for your life. A Senate staffer got caught doing the nasty in a the judiciary committed hearing room and we cannot believe what some people put on their Instagram close friends after watching the footage.

Zoos are at it again, and this time it's a "sexy" gorilla causing a stir. Allegedly, this gorilla is so darn handsome that zoo admissions have skyrocketed, but we aren't so sure it's just ladies that are flocking to see him. We learn the definition of a "vibe pope" and Sarah explains why she thinks Susie is one. If it's anything like a real pope, that's going to be a lot pressure, so we'll see how this goes. Susie wants you all to get out of your pajamas and get out there and socialize even if it's just for the lolz. Sarah describes a new night club that uses the body heat of the patrons to fuel the building's electricity and we are intrigued. Sarah describes why families don't have "trees" as much any more because people are having fewer children. She shares how this structure is more narrow and lengthy--like a beanstalk--and is changing the dynamic of families and how we engage with cousins and other relatives.

Happy New Year, Brainiacs! We're excited for 2024, and we're demanding the universe not pull any punches. We discuss our goals for the year and why Susie is still unsure about her theme. Hear why your chronological age doesn't match the age you feel in your head, and why we always long for what we don't have. Sarah wants you to know she could beat you at Hangman, and Susie shares some tips on how to win Wheel of Fortune should you ever need them. We discuss disappearing ink used for "semi-permanent tattoos", and why some people are mad that their tattoos aren't fading. Sarah reveals whether she likes people who don't want to keep their ink forever. Plus, we talk to Jon Ward about his book, Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation.

Sarah is not having a Feliz Navidad in Mejico, but we're here to bring some joy back into her holiday. She had a run in with a teenager at a show, and she gave that hooligan a very "stern talking to." She even used her scolding pointer finger, so that poor kid didn't stand a chance. Quick question, how many of any animal do you need to make a scary amount (it's three). Birds are getting drunk, and we're psyched for them, but apparently "experts" think we should stop the madness. During our recording Sarah's hair doubled in size from the humidity, just think you all should know that. Sarah says a restaurant is scamming unsuspecting women through AI, so all you daters, beware. Sarah watched the scandalous Below Deck season and has rave reviews about the way they handled a cast member who was getting aggressive and inappropriate.

We're getting life lessons from Paul Meister from beyond the grave about how to be aggressive without disaster. Sarah is having a rough start to her Mexico vacation, but we remain optimistic. Susie talks about a documentary called Bad Doctor about a surgeon who claimed to create a miracle prosthetic windpipe that he transplanted into patients, but it turned out to be a complete lie and ended up killing people. We discuss a memoir called Country of the Blind about a man who is becoming blind, and what he learned about vision, disabilities, and the way we all understand the world. Sarah talks about disabled people who ski including a special ski made for people who are paralyzed. Susie describes a Alabama mayor named Bubba who was outed for living a double life, and we debate whether the private lives of public figures should ever be exposed by journalists. Plus we hear why AI has a "hotness problem."

We know Susie thinks wisdom teeth removal is a scam, but are nightguards too? Not according to Sarah--they just need a trim. We discuss the news that using cannabis for pain management is no better than a placebo. We talk about a new method for scientific testing that is saving a lot of rabbit lives, but is still angering animal rights activists. We consider whether animals know their "names" when they are our pets or whether the abstract idea of a personal name is a human-only concept. Sarah may have done the impossible and found a group of people climbing Mt. Everest that we're ok with! A group of women is making the trek and, believe it or not, we're on board. Apparently Interstellar did more than tell the greatest cinematic story ever told, it actually is turning a profit through corn production too, but Susie can't confirm this information. And we hear about a woman who threw her food at a fast food worker, and why the judge sentencing her took a clever route in her punishment.

Susie's annoyed about all the vacations Sarah takes, and Sarah is sorry not sorry. (Susie is just jealous.) We don't really understand Susie's new/old obsession with Australia, but now we're having to try vegemite for funsies, and it is truly a wild experience. We learn why Susie thinks she's developing psychic abilities. We discuss the Love Has Won documentary about the cult of the same name that is run by a former McDonald's manager turned spiritual guru who goes by the name Mother God and who has a real taste for the booze. And we learn which dead celebrities she channels (Sarah guesses one right!). We hear about the Luna Park amusement park fire that killed several children, and how an artist and a filmmaker found out what really happened decades later. Plus, we interview Alyssa Ages, author of Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Healing of Strength about the bodybuilding and Strongman competitions, healing from a miscarriage, and why strength training is not just a men's game.

Sarah wants you to know your joke is funny and why, and we're here for it. We discuss the controversial comedy of Matt Rife, his decision to do domestic violence jokes, and his appearance on The Challenge. Just when we thought we couldn't love/hate Crocs any more, they go and do country/western styles, and completely redeem themselves (for light to moderate ranching only). Sarah is inexplicably mad at a particular shoe company and it's hilarious. Apparently it really grinds her gears when people have, and I quote, dusty feet. We also hear why she is never, we repeat, never, trying to look elegant. A restaurant is charging $50 for bad parenting, and we discuss whether we like this policy. We also hear about a restaurant whose staff is made up of people living with dementia, and why it sounds like a solution to several societal problems. There is a clay shortage, and now we're worried that there will not be a Chicken Run sequel and Shaun the Sheep might be hibernating until they invent a replacement.

We're already preparing for 2024 (probably because 2023 was such a dud). Susie recommends the new Mike Birbiglia comedy special, The Old Man and the Pool, and discusses his sleep disorder that caused him to jump out of a La Quinta window while he was sleeping. Sarah is still recovering from her Spirit Airlines experience, and wants you all to know the little she saved was not worth it. Susie found out the recipe for Cookie Monster's cookies and what the traits are that make for the most hilarious Cookie Monster binge. We learn about a service you can get where someone shows up at your funeral and tells your loved ones things you were too shy/scared/hesitant to tell them while you were alive. AND you can also hire them to collect your embarrassing, illegal, etc items so your loved ones don't have to handle your naughty possessions. We just had the 60th anniversary of the assassination of JFK and how even after all these years it is still visceral for the witnesses. We also discuss the woman who is Flo from Progressive Insurance, and how she had to trade her creative dreams and goal of getting on SNL for her job with Progressive, but she likely makes $10M per year. Plus! We interview our new BFF, comedy icon, and amazing human being, Beth Stelling, about her comedy career, her experiences performing, and her vendetta against Johnny Banana.

We discuss how we're scared after each episode to find out what we screwed up or if we offended someone. So, be gentle, people. We're sensie-wensie. We'll work on it. Anyhoo, some weirdo died and made his family have his funeral at a nightclub, and let's just say, the video footage of his grieving family semi-seductively (??) dancing around his coffin was a whole mood. Apparently enough people are kissing turtles that a warning had to be issued, so people are not ok. We have a stream of consciousness scenario where we talk about when Sarah thought she stepped in dog poo, but it turned out she just had bad breath, whether coffee makes your pee smell, and why dentists are suddenly obsessed with gum recession. We hear why polyester might be affecting your fertility levels. And bears are getting jobs at long last after years of mooching off campers and breaking into garbage cans. Sounds like raccoons ought to prepare for some hard labor too.

Susie checked something off her bucket list by seeing Jerry Seinfeld live and in the flesh even though it meant going to West Virginia and eating at a dive bar. We discuss the documentary The Greatest Reality Show Never Made about a series from the early aughts that people signed up for after quitting their jobs and leaving their homes, but it turned out to be a scam. We learn what happened and what they think of it all now. Susie talks about a woman who went to Africa to start a charity to distribute food, but things went terribly wrong after she got arrogant about her abilities. We hear about an Accident Waiting to Happen that, well, happened at the World Sauna Championships. We discuss the British bird that flew away, learned Spanish, and now has a problem with someone named Larry. Plus, we find out why Sarah was *thisclose* to being a bird lady.

Sarah saw a recent interview with her Rivals 3 partner and she would like a chance at a rebuttal. We object! We're talking about that ding-dong billionaire is trying to reverse aging again. Turns out his penis is young again, but this whole schtick is old. ChatGPT is insulting us by making the ugliest version of Sarah and Susie winning the Challenge, and we think it's a conspiracy. Susie is mad about wax museum pranks and Sarah is mad about stunts--specifically the one where Jarod Leto climbs the Empire State Building to promote his dumb band. She is also not falling for a nipplebra from Kim Kardashian. We discuss the Met Gala's new theme of Sleeping Beauties and what the delicate pieces the name refers to entail. We learn whether expensive weddings correlate with wedded bliss or not. Susie tells us what happens to pigeons (and people) when they're bored.

Is Sarah trying to talk Susie into going back on the Challenge? What in the Freaky Friday is going on here? We discuss the man who had an unusual reaction to magic mushrooms that got him arrested for the attempted murder of 80 people. We also learn that an arrest was made in the freak death of a hockey player on the ice. One thing we're all against is forced entertainment, so no singing on planes, please. Sarah almost got into fisticuffs at a comedy show, and we are here for it. Susie has had it with the viral story of the Thanksgiving texters who defied racial stereotypes and formed an unlikely friendship. We hear why some older comedians are realizing that they owe their careers to their moms. Susie said the Robbie Williams documentary made her realize how unnatural fame is. We celebrate the unsung hero of Thanksgiving (mushroom soup) and Susie loses it over Sarah's "rich people" stuffing. Plus, we find out how ancient Egyptians were working smarter not harder when they made the Sphinxes.

Susie and Sarah are getting back in the competitive spirit with an upcoming athletic event, and it is hilarious. Sarah got a new trashy luxury item and it is a guaranteed AWH. She went to a Lauryn Hill and the Fugees concert, and despite, or perhaps because of, her high hopes, she was very disappointed. A Polish alcohol company hired a new CEO that is a woman of color! Unfortunately, she is a robot. There's a huge treasure at the bottom of the ocean and a lot of people are hoping to get their hands on it. Seems like if you're willing to go to the bottom of the ocean and grab it, it should be finders keepers. But Sarah is thinking about sticking a magnet to a stick and finding some meteorites because evidently that's big business??

Sarah had her first pow day, so Susie is annoyed. We hear why Yogi Berra is an underrated baseball player with a heckuva personality. We learn why Sylvester Stallone is full of regret, and he demonstrates the torture of trying to gain the love of our parents. But at least he's got the Shakespearean writing to fall back on. Sarah tries to explain why humans are always seeking to "be enough," and why it can be so painful. Good news for snakes--some female researchers found their clitoris and got two times the fun when they found each lady snake has double the pleasure. Sarah's got a hilarious theory about why that is. We hear what ever happened to comedian Brett Butler after her sitcom was cancelled. Plus! Susie gets to talk with the director of HBO's Last Stop Larramah on how the tiny Australian town was really a microcosm of life on earth, how the people in the town remind her of life on the Challenge, and why his movie caused her to have an existential, emotional experience.

Sarah took Susie to a couple's "sound bath" in Denver, so they explain that experience and offer their thoughts on the hippity dippity, groovy vibrations. We learn about a teen who invented a soap that treats skin cancer and we're just over here podcasting like goons. Hear about the man who wanted to punish Jeff Bezos for his mistreatment of employees and came up with the perfect product to exact his revenge. We discuss the texts Jeff Bezos sent his girlfriend and the unusual pet name he used for her. Sarah explains why women's brains are affected when they are called "baby" and when they hear the word "no."

Sarah and Susie are fresh off their Denver reunion, and ready for more candy for their brains. We start with a discussion about Milli Vanilli, the lip-synching duo from the 90s, who were exposed and exiled from the charts. Susie learned a lot more details about their careers that shed some light on why they did it, why the music industry was in on it, and the vitriol that followed. We hear Susie's connection to the group. We learn about a tarantula that almost caused a car crash and Susie is mad that he's still living his best life. We discuss "siren clubs" that are happening among Pacific Islanders in New Zealand and the debate about how to handle their noisy "cultural" expressions. We hear why fire is so hard to make in CGI, and why Sarah believes the hit film, Backdraft contributes to her fear of fire to this day.

Susie wants to know why we still have "viewings" when people die, and how she finds the ritual of open caskets to be macabre and strange. Plus, how is there technology that provides AI, but no one has updated the embalming process enough to make dead people look like...alive people. Sarah explains why birdhouses might be a bad idea, and birds are experiencing the same laziness that comes from comfort that people have. A bear went to Disney World, and we are very impressed with his tour of the park. We discuss brunch culture, and the standard of providing a "bottomless" booze option, and now restaurants are trying to solve the problem of inebriated guests. Susie is blaming "wine moms" and says the idea that these are gals who are letting loose because they never get time to themselves is false. We learn about driverless taxis, and debate whether we'd want one. Susie would prefer if we automated the dental industry, hair professionals, and any place where people make small talk.

It's almost Sarah's favorite day of the year, and this episode will fit into the spooky theme. We learn about a funeral home that was really phoning it in with regards to disposal of the bodies, and despite their environmentally friendly mission, they ended up causing more mess. We learn about the inventor of the modern day bulletproof vest, who shot himself hundreds of times to test his own product. We hear about the burglary that inspired his invention and we discuss how inventors often are a little too invested (no pun intended) with their products, and how his passion probably backfired (pun intended), and possibly caused people to die. We hear the most shocking part of the Britney documentary that caused her world to "shatter," and it's kind of amazing. Susie shares why one esteemed scholar believes human beings have NO free will and everything is predetermined, and why other scholars are disturbed by his claims. We discuss the idea of "olfactory illusions," and learn why one researcher says they are not possible. Plus, we hear the history of lipstick, why it's the most "deadly" cosmetic, and how men are scared of its powers.

Susie is accidentally tracking an airplane from Pittsburgh, and we're starting to wonder if this is a security risk. Sarah would like to put out a public service announcement that disinfected and clean are two different things, and you can shove your hand sanitizer up your you-know-what. She went to Urban Outfitters recently, and found out she is old, can't wear mini-skirts, and Fiona Apple makes her cry. We hear why she claims she's only hot one week/month and she has a theory about why hot people end up with hot people. We debate the difference between being up for anything and down for anything, and we're both, that's all we know. The zoo in China is up to no good again and it's HILARIOUS. Let's just say they want to assure you they did NOT give a lion's mane a haircut why would you even think that??? Susie confesses to having a gross habit in high school, but we agreed to just think of it as a nerdy hobby instead of the nastiness it actually is. There's a new version of We Didn't Start the Fire out and Susie is sharing what should've been included, but in a strange turn of events, Sarah found out for the first time that that song is about actual historical events...

Susie went out on the town and now you're going to hear about it. A run-in with the police and war of words with an old lady at the Eagles concert? It's been a week! Sarah thinks the cure for this crazy behavior is a sound bath, so the gals planned a Colorado retreat to ease their minds. Hear their thoughts on Suzanne Somers's recent death, the reason Susie can't quit thinking about a small town in the Australian outback, and a complicated supermodel who isn't here to be your hero. We discuss the crazy Twin Flames cult that pressured people to change their genders and we learn the fascinating history of romance novels including the reason the covers are now mostly illustrated, why they've toned down the spicy stuff, and whether they're still just for white housewives. Plus, we hear why animals hate human voices and we realize we're the seagulls of the land mammal community.

After encouraging Sarah to avoid playing the lottery, Susie became a hypocrite by going all in on the Powerball frenzy sweeping the nation. But instead of admitting her lack of morality, Susie persuades Sarah to join the fun. And we make big plans for our winnings. Sarah reveals why until fairly recently, people were grinding up mummies and using them to make artwork and some people even ate them because of a misinterpretation of an ancient text. Oops! We discuss why TikTok trends are often based on faulty science, misrepresentations of studies, and plain old lies. We hear the origins of Rock, Paper, Scissors, and it was surprisingly not born out of boredom. Sarah watched the Golden Bachelor, and despite her ten seasons of reality tv experience, she is outraged that the show is somewhat staged and highly produced. Will her new favorite widower find love? Not if producers keep setting unreachable romantic standards, she says! We discuss the bedbugs in Paris and why it's not helping their hygiene reputation. Plus, Susie is mad that Sarah keeps secrets from her about her social life.

Susie got to visit her favorite tourist trap in Boston (where everyone knows her name!), but had to do so the old-fashioned way since her family's phones malfunctioned. Let's just say, if the bad guys ever take down our country's phone service we're all screwed. We learn why some people are wearing noise-cancelling headphones for a majority of their day, and why it might be bad for their mental health. And Susie preaches to Gen Z again about why they need to toughen up, but it turns out Sarah might be on their side since she wraps herself in a sleep cocoon because it's soothing. We learn the history of Dr. Brommer, the quirky castile soap creator, and why he succeeded in business, but not in life. We debate whether Crime Con is a harmless community of true crime enthusiasts or a re-victimizing event that profits off of pain. Susie watched a wild documentary about a small town in the Australian outback that is the center of a murder mystery. Plus, we hear the amazing efforts the National Archives takes to preserve documents and our history.

Sarah thinks something fishy is happening with British Bakeoff, and she needs answers. Sarah is so enamored with Taylor Swift's ability to rile up the football boys that she is considering becoming a Swiftie or AT LEAST unmuting her on spotify. This is big news. We were happy for the seal who escaped from his enclosure at a New York zoo. Or was it a sea lion? And we found out the difference between a seal and a sea lion (and what the heck is the deal with walruses?) while we were at it. We discuss the inmate who recently escaped from a Pennsylvania prison, and Susie seriously freaks Sarah out when she finds out what he did when he broke into someone's house. It's some horror movie sh*t. Susie also explains why the police and SWAT team members who caught him were a little too proud of themselves and really the credit should go to someone else altogether. We hear what the diamond industry is cooking up to try to sell more diamonds now that fewer people are getting married, but we think their idea is a dud. Susie thinks Gen Z might go for it and gets all judge-y about it, but Sarah reminds her of all the dumb things our generations have done. We debate an article by David Brooks which encouraged people to focus on marriage rather than their careers, and Susie explains why he's seen as a conservative in sheep's clothing. Susie shares a story about a recent night out that almost turned into another addition to her year of bad luck, but this story is a real BCP emotional roller coaster.

Today we reminisce about the Challengemania Hall of Fame and Sarah's induction speech. We hear about the Harley & Katya documentary which chronicled a competitive figure skating duo and the untimely demise of the female skater. We discuss how concussions and injuries from the ice, the difficulties of competing, and the pressure on young athletes contribute to mental health concerns for the skaters. Susie thinks there's still time for Sarah to become a competitive bobsledder, but Sarah isn't so sure. We hear about the man who created the famous and calamitous "disco sucks" event at the professional baseball game in 1979, why the organizer regrets it, and how the people who stormed the field might have something in common with the January 6 insurrectionists. We discuss a study that shows why sleeping with your partner's clothing could help you sleep better even if you're not aware it's theirs. Susie describes what it's like to work a suicide hotline, why a lot of people call who are looking for love, friendship, or romance, how the operators assess risk, and why it's a thankless job. We laugh about Sarah's inability to "wind down" on a phone call and how she realized she has a very annoying habit in social settings. And our minds are blown when we learn the difference between chicken strips and chicken tenders. Who knew? This is the BCP content we all need.

Sarah is still obsessing about predator animals. She has developed a real affinity for polar bears and thinks lion dads are really not pulling their weight. They have manes and a roar, and that's about it. They're all hype! But it was great to hear that according to her, cats are great and dogs are "nasty." We discuss whether learning more about animals makes us more or less likely to be vegetarians. Elephants are smarty pants and walruses are, and I quote, "f*cking idiots." Sarah talks about the military jet that went missing and her theory about what really happened. But she was shocked to hear that the pilot made a 911 call and he didn't sound upset that he was EJECTED from the jet. We laugh about the "alien" they discovered in Mexico and then we get worried that we're going to look like real a-holes if they find out this thing actually is an alien or as Sarah thinks "is from another dimension." We learn why Gen Z does not want to be criticized at work and they don't even want "feedback," so now managers are reframing the messages by calling it "feedfoward." After we lost our minds about how stupid this is, we discuss how they say it's because they don't want to live in the past, but Susie points out that this is hypocritical since all they ever want to talk about is their past "trauma." Susie is full of BCP hot takes today. Please send "feedforward" to susie @ doesnt care dot com.

Susie gives a report on the Super Models documentary and the cultural moment that supermodels represented in the 80s and 90s, how they discuss aging, and why Susie is critical of younger models. It even inspired one of Susie's famous hot takes where she criticizes a nepo baby who "can't walk." We learn about the woman who was hired to fix Airbnb's party problem and programmed an algorithm to sniff out whether people are going to throw a party at the house. We discuss the recent study that found that patients of female surgeons have more favorable outcomes and we theorize why that might be. We debate why anyone would want a male OB-GYN, and how even TSA agents take liberties with their "authority." Susie discusses a scholarly article on why French people were not into personal hygiene and how the stereotype about them is apparently true or at least was far into the 1900s. Sarah, however, is very defensive because she is a stinky woman and thinks Susie should give the French a break. We learn how men muscled women out of surfing, why the sport is changing slowly, and how Sarah had a secret surfing career.

This episode is wild. First we're celebrating our 750th episode w/ a delicious cake from Kara McSweeney and Evanly Bakes. Mostly we realize how even after all these episodes of laughing and learning we still don't know anything. We hear all the fun facts Sarah picked up from one of her wild nature documentaries (we are pretty sure she was high when she watched it though). She claims hares are faster than cheetahs, and we have questions about the legitimacy of this race. We realize we know nothing about how twins are made and whether humans can have twins with two separate fathers naturally or whether it can only happen through in vitro fertilization. Sarah talks about a cannibal family that apparently is one the most important history lessons (only to her and some other people in California, but don't tell her that). She is warning people not to rely on AI to decide what to forage, and luckily Susie wouldn't forage if her life depended on it, so she's safe. We rage about the man who climbed a statue and broke its arm off and laugh about how we all would react if we were him. Humans are so dumb. Sarah gets mad about people who don't wear helmets and wonders what in the world they're thinking. People in the Philippines think they discovered a snake with legs (aka a lizard), but even though we're no David Attenborough, we cracked the case on what's really going on. Plus, Susie interviews J. Reuben Appelman about his new book While Idaho Slept about the murder of four young college students and the suspect who is going to trial. It's a fascinating and nuanced look at the crime and the alleged killer.

Sarah is getting into Tuesday's Sacrifice mode as the weather turns cool and the witchy vibes come alive. Susie has a sound board and uses it with abandon on this episode. We hear about the Team Foxcatcher documentary, and how it is the perfect combination of murder, sports, and an eccentric millionaire. We hear facts about crocheting that are surprisingly interesting and make Sarah want to bust out her knitting equipment and get to work on a scarf that looks like a snake ate a tennis ball. How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Well, evidently men think about it a lot and Susie has a theory about why and what the female equivalent is. And our minds are blown. Susie saw Adam's therapist out in the wild, so she has some questions for Sarah about why it is a big performance of silence and awkwardness when that happens, what therapists think when they see their clients, and why Susie is hoping she made a good impression. We discuss why men are getting weaker and now have the same grip strength as women their age. We explain why moving companies have insight into your relationships. Plus, Susie reveals why you should worry about sharing your data even if you "have nothing to hide."

We didn't intend on this episode becoming a musical version of Brain Candy, but, boy oh boy, did we have a song in our hearts today. We apologize in advance. We learn what "ornamental hermits" are and find out why people were using them to gain social status centuries ago. Susie explains why Paris Hilton would've loved an ornamental hermit. We hear why Sarah started loving Veggie Tales as an adult and Susie is singing about an astronomer/physicist. We laugh about the couple who bulldozed through the Great Wall of China, and wonder what exactly it is that they were trying to accomplish. We love a good shortcut, but this sounds ridiculous. Susie gets real confused about the 7 Wonders of the World because it turns out there are more than seven and some of them are natural, some of them are manmade, and some of them aren't really that wondrous. Sarah explains why the rules have changed in New York and now there will be a lot of people who will be sharing AirBnBs with an extra roommate. Finally, we learn what "hot bedding" is, and it turns out it's not as sexy as it sounds.

Sarah shares a disturbing and wild experience recently in which she believes she was drugged at a bar, and how it's affected her behavior. Susie talks about a man who is trying to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a--wait for it--hamster wheel. We learn why this is his "dream," why he keeps getting stopped by the authorities, and what we think is inspiring his quest. We also hear about the American caver who got stuck in a cave in Turkey and had to be rescued because of gastrointestinal issues. We discuss near death experiences, and why one man who studies them is convinced there is life after death. Plus, we learn about "fear death experiences," and what's behind life-flashing-before-your-eyes in those moments of distress. Susie talks about the Scout's Honor documentary on the Boys Scouts abuse allegations. And Sooz Reviews the Never Let Him Go docu-series about a mysterious death of an American PhD student, and how his brother took on the job of investigating it, and why it took 30 years to solve it. We also hear about BS High, which is about a completely made up high school football team that ended up playing on ESPN. A lost hiker was rescued thanks to a bear cam in Alaska and the people who watch it for fun.

Susie tried to send Sarah a gift and it went terribly wrong. We find out why Susie and Sarah have very different relationships with their trainers and Sarah almost had a comically bad run-in with a cactus. We learn why online ratings are no longer helpful due to "data panhandling." Sarah shares why book blurbs are useless and definitely "inspiring and illuminating." Sarah wants to ban all reviews of any kind. She wants a free for all situation instead. We couldn't help but talk about the recent incident on an airplane where they had to turn the whole thing around because somebody had explosive you know what. But not to be outdone, Sarah tells a story about someone at her doctor's office that left a big mess on the floor, and it wasn't who you might think. You know how we've been trying to "save the bees" for years, well turns out, we've been saving the wrong ones all this time.

We're still talking about that dude who told Sarah to smile, and Susie came up with a new way to handle these men. We celebrate Lincoln's recent accomplishment and entrance into the family business (of winning!). We discuss the Oppenheimer movie and documentary, and discuss how people can be both a victim and victimizer and how humans justify their aggressive or bad behavior. Sarah explains why nukes are stored in Colorado and her recent experience at an "off-road class" that she thinks every driver should have to take. We hear why churches are using auto-tune during their worship services, and we think this flies in the face of the message of Jesus. Susie explains why Christians think they have to be perfect and why it's probably not the best message. We hear what you should include in your emergency kit and there are items you would never expect. We hear why self-checkout lanes might be making the loneliness epidemic worse, but Susie thinks cashiers are not the solution to people's isolation. And we debate whether the new tipping approach everywhere is helping or hurting workers.

Sarah watched the Bama Rush documentary so we don't have to. The film explores the process of joining an Alabama sorority, the overlord organizations that control the bylaws, and the women who want to join. She explains how there are power dynamics, systemic issues, and all the usual issues plaguing women (e.g. self-esteem, consumerism, body image, etc). We even learn some weird jargon including "rush bag" and "PNMs" (Potential New Members). Sarah shares what technique her mom used to teach her about alcohol tolerance and responsible drinking, but Susie thinks her approach only worked because Sarah is mature and a rule-follower. We bemoan the way we have not gotten any perks from reality tv, but our family members have somehow. We learn about "girl trends" like girl dinner and girl math, and we debate whether it's making space for females without kids, husbands, and partners, or whether it reinforces stereotypes (or both!). We celebrate the Nebraska women's volleyball and the ad campaign that shows why female athletes are just as exciting to watch as men. We trash that loser coach who kissed a female player without her consent. And out of nowhere Sarah explains why she is all for ass-slapping from her teammates.

In episode 743, we find out why Susie loves her name and she is hoping someone will name their baby after her. Sarah confesses that she had a teacher mock her name and she's still mad at him (Mr. Majesky, we're looking at you.) Susie talks about the rise and fall of HQ Trivia and why the Tech Bros who fail never seem to pay the consequences. We learn about a change in law that is allowing amputees to keep their body parts for religious reasons and Susie wonders why that wasn't already allowed. We learn about a woman who had a WORM IN HER BRAIN, and Sarah loses her mind about it. It's fantastic. Sarah finds out why she should not cut wildflowers after all. A British Museum wants the police to punish the person that stole all the art that they had stolen from other countries. We discuss the legacy of John Belushi and why he's a hero and a villain just like everyone else!

Today we discuss why we feel so comfortable on the air that we forget people are going to actually hear our nonsense. We talk about the serendipity of Susie's birthday and the incredible Arnold cake Adam got her. Sarah explains why people are returning too much stuff, but really they're just buying too much stuff. We theorize about the giraffe with no spots born at a zoo, and Sarah wonders if it's a cry for help. We hear about an organization that finishes the art projects that people leave behind when they die and why stolen memes helped Susie see the good in the world behind the keyboard anonymity. Plus, Sarah reveals what really happened when a man recently told her to smile and we are livid.

Susie talks about her latest obsession, the Telemarketers docuseries on Max. She reveals how a huge telemarketing company changed the industry forever, why we're all at risked of being scammed, and why this documentary is even crazier than you can imagine. Sarah has been watching a bunch of documentaries too, and she explains how they all tie together. We learn why CPR is kind of a scam, and it's an open secret in the medical field that it's usually a performance for the families rather than an effective treatment or life-saving technique. We learn about a tribe in Brazil that is at the center of a debate over land and Susie shares some bizarre ways the "uncontacted" tribe has been introduced to the modern world. We learn the science behind athletic achievements and the real reason it seems like athletes keep getting better. Plus, we lose our minds talking about The Deepest Breath documentary on Netflix, and they say it's not a doc about free diving it's really a doc about addiction.

Sarah wants Susie's son Lincoln to give her style tips since we're not in the loop anymore. Sarah visited Gothic Mountain and the science lab there, and she is NERDING OUT! We celebrate science, Sarah even cries about it, but then she get real wound up in short order about someone who BOO'ed her (and not the spooky ghost kind) for PICKING FLOWERS! She finally got caught in the act of her plant propagation crimes, and it wasn't pretty. Susie tried to make her feel bad by telling her who scolded her recently, and things calmed down emotionally. But then we were riding the emotional roller coaster again when Sarah put our text chain into a program that tells whether we are compatible. IT WAS WILD! Hear whether the robot thinks we're soul mates or not. We're not over it. People are buying Cameos from famous people to deliver bad news to their friends, family members, and employees, and we're not happy about it! Plus, Sarah gives insider tips about buying luxury goods.

In episode 739, we're learning that Sarah has not let go of her pipe dreams of being a horse girl. She is itching for a new hobby, and we think horse grooming, trotting, and apple feeding are in her future. She is also in the midst of a very intense bet with Eli about who would win in a mile long swim race. Our money is on Sarah. Susie has amazing news--she got a mammogram! And boy, does she have a story to tell. Apparently, mammograms are not what she expected and she has some notes for the medical community. We hear why Peg Meister (Susie's mom) thinks aliens are "too close for comfort," and we were very excited to hear why. Turns out, we were having a "who's on first" type of conversation. We hear about two older gentlemen in Canada who were switched at birth, and why they both wish they didn't know the truth. Sooz Reviews the Jake Paul Untold episode on Netflix, and the documentary is surprisingly insightful about culture, parental love, sibling rivalry, and more. We did not see that coming. Plus, we talk to Danny Lee Clark aka Nitro from American Gladiators about his time on tv, what he learned through therapy, and what he's up to now.

It's raining cats and dogs, cactuses are dying, our pets' heads are falling off! Well, some of those things are true, and Sarah's had it. We hear why Colorado snow is vanishing into thin air, and frankly, the scientists seem to be approaching the problem with a shrug. Susie explains why climate change is exposing even more a-holes on Mt. Everest. Sarah had an experience with a Challenge superfan recently that she thinks is evidence that we're in a simulation, and we need answers. Susie talks about an incredible celebrity sighting and why it was one of her best life experiences. Sarah describes a strange incident on an airplane and why people online are convinced the woman involved "isn't real." Susie is dubious as usual.

Susie is trying to call a truce with the airlines. We'll give a little, they'll give a little. Sarah discussed a recent plant theft she participated in and the karmic repercussions she incurred as a result, but Susie is more intrigued by a pattern of plant burglaries Sarah has conducted over the years. Turns out, Sarah is in an actual plant gang. It's hilarious. Susie finally convinced Sarah to join Arnold's Pump Club, and her reaction was shocking. Susie talks about an article on the author of The Body Keeps the Score, and why he's a hero and a villain (and so are the rest of us). We mourn the death of Paul Reubens and Sarah shares what PeeWee meant to her. We discuss the release of one of Charles Manson's "Family" members from prison and debate whether their sentences were fair. We analyze the decision of one man to spend $14,000 on a realistic Collie costume and Sarah explains why someone's childhood might be the driving force to such a strange choice. Plus, we can't stop laughing about the Chinese zoo that was accused of having humans dress up as bears, and we truly can't decide whether we think they are animals or humans in costume.

Sarah has a new persona, and she is a Southern Belle. She. Can't. Stop. Bless her heart. Susie found out an Old Gossip celebrity lives five minutes from her house, and she needs tips for how to have a meet cute. Sarah shares scholarship on what power does to the brain, and it is horrifying. Apparently, all it takes is the smallest amount of power and you're basically suffering from a traumatic brain injury, what! Sarah has an equivalent to Susie's love for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Susie has a theory about him. Sarah had an allergic reaction to her plants, but Susie has finally decided to bite the bullet and get a mammogram, so it's not all bad news around here. We learn what her big Shark Tank plan is for a million dollar idea, and we debate whether bleaching creams are the same as tanning. Sarah talks about a new company that claims it can decode your dreams, and we're kinda convinced.

Sarah went to a bridal shower and it was like a Crocodile Dundee experience where there were fancy finger sandwiches and tea and she was still trying to throw down in the shower game. Susie is still immersed in sports, and this time it's NBA legend (and alleged womanizer) Wilt Chamberlain. We discuss why his reputation in the bedroom is more well-known than his basketball talent. Susie talked about a financial whistleblower who turned over billions to the government and had to go to jail anyway (but we think his $104M payout probably softened the blow). We learn why old people actually are buttholes, and the reasons we become cranky in old age. We had a good laugh about our theories about Benihana hibachi chefs and whether we could do that job. We think it's a lot of smoke and mirrors (and shrimp tails) and not a lot of chef skills. Sarah also wants Susie to drop by Panda Express and pick up their latest menu item, and she said ok, so standby for that Sooz Reviews Food Edition. We discuss the Rat Pack and why Dean Martin was a real standup guy. Plus, we revel in Barbie mania and how awesome it is that a "female" movie is such a hit.

Today we get a full Croatia Catchup from Sarah Louise, and it's a hilarious journey. We hear why people flock to the country due to their Game of Thrones passion. Sarah naturally had a run-in with an AirBnb host who basically shamed Sarah for asking a question. Susie says Sarah deserves a gold medal in packing and we hear how she managed to pack two weeks worth of clothes AND FOUR PAIRS of shoes in her carryon bags. Sarah has decided she is now a fan influencer, and if you see anyone ANYONE in Denver using a handheld fan it is because Sarah influenced them and not any other reason. We discuss some strange European fashion trends that Sarah wants to embrace despite being what Susie claims is the uniform of a bad cult. We learned some things about mosquitoes that are whatever the opposite of a fun fact is, and Susie would like to eradicate them off the face of the Earth consequences be damned. Finally, we discuss the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) who lived a double life for decades.

Sarah is home from her Croatian vacation, and she's back in the Brain Candy saddle. We talk about how her summer is shaping up much better than Susie's, and we're wondering if her "year of adventure" is cursed. We hear her latest sports doc commentary on competitive eating, and why her sister couldn't keep watching it, but it made Susie emotional. We debate whether Vanna White deserved a pay increase in the last two decades, and why she apparently has the world's worst agent. We talk about The Dress that went viral years ago for dividing the world about what color it was: blue and black or white and gold. We find out some interesting research that determined the types of people who thought it was dark vs. light, and why their lifestyle informed how they saw it. Plus, we are aghast at the wild twist the Dress took recently with the groom turning out to be a complete psycho. We also hear some Old Gossip about Bruce Lee that we did not see coming. Plus, Susie interviewed Rainn Wilson about his wonderful book, Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution, and why spirituality is so important for The Office actor and the rest of us too! (Note: This interview was conducted before the SAG AFTRA strike.)

Sarah explains why she's nervous about her vacation, and the reasons this year's trip might turn things around. We are furious about the complete moron who carved his and his girlfriend's name on the coliseum, and Susie thinks his punishment is too harsh and not harsh enough at the same time. We learn about an airport moving walkway that caused a serious injury and a roller coaster that is literally falling apart, and we speculate about why these technical issues are more common than they should be. We hear about a man whose racism was cured through the use of drugs, and we are thrilled about the possibilities of hallucinogens for "changing our minds."

Susie is on a serious bender with sports documentaries, which is pretty surprising since she thinks sports should be banned. She's fine with steroids, just not sports. Ok. We discuss the punishment Olympics track and field phenom Marion Jones received for cheating in the Olympics, and why Susie thinks the punishment didn't fit the crime. We compare it to the story of Lance Armstrong, and the reasons he feels somewhat justified for his decision to dope. We talk about the ways it's often the cover-up not the crime that causes the real problems. And we hear how the situation with the American Gladiators sounds very similar to our life experiences on the Challenge including pay, injuries, the lack of agency, and the long-term consequences. We hear what histrionic personality disorder is, and why a popular teen movie is the best way to understand the mysterious illness. We learn why synesthesia is different depending on your age. Plus, we learn why the person who popularized the Wizard of Oz viewing while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and smoking pot sort of wishes he'd kept the trick to himself.

We consider the possibility of a Sarah proposal and whether she would ever get down on one knee. We hear about a woman who had a gift registry for her doctoral graduation, and Susie is weirdly mad about it. But Sarah thinks it's a cool way to celebrate something other than marriage and kids. We talk about paper weights and antiquated office supplies, and learn they actually make paper weights that aren't useless. We discuss the Harvard morgue manager who was selling body parts, and we realize the media didn't accurately portray him. We learn the origins of pink lemonade, or do we? Apparently, pink lemonade is a confusing and possibly racist drink. Or it's just gross. Or both. We celebrate wieners (not that kind) and talk about how terrible horse racing is. Oh, and we're pretty sure Susie just talked Sarah into starting an OnlyFans.

We wonder how future is doing in Croatia, and we hear what Sarah has to say to her future self. We discuss the American Gladiator documentary and all the wild ways it is EXACTLY like the Challenge. Hear why the creators of American Gladiators share the same drama and documentary dichotomy as the Challenge, and why the injuries of the participants are seen as just collateral damage for the "honor" of being on the show. We lament the ways our present self always screws our future self and how humans aren't as evolved and sophisticated as we like to imagine. We discuss nude bowling and theorize why the women are allowed to wear bottoms and we discuss whether a nude model might have motives for his profession that have nothing to do with kinkiness. We hear the history of sharks before and after Jaws, and hear why the movie had a negative impact on the animal kingdom.

Sarah thinks they should change the phrase "it's just like riding a bike" to mean that something is very hard, doesn't come naturally, and causes great pain because mountain biking is brutal! This is why Susie is very passionate about her hobby of not moving. It's much better for bruise control. We lament the immaturity of the "billionaire community" and wonder why these man babies can't put their energy toward things that make the world better instead of ego inflation. Millionaires have discovered Dollar Stores and their minds are blown. Ants are aplenty, and we are thoroughly grossed out. Hear why a governmental employee quit her job after just a few days because she was the target of a deep fake campaign and doxxing--just for telling the truth. We discuss the "psychic" who sued a doctor for $1M for causing her "psychic abilities" to "vanish," and what the court had to say about this lawsuit. Sarah is starting a new category of research that she is calling "duh studies."

In episode 727, we discuss some feedback we got from a listener who was none-too-pleased with our belief that drag queens are fun for the whole family, but what got Susie wound up is that the listener was only mad at Susie. She wants to know why people never get mad at Sarah. Let's spread the hate around a little, people. We debate whether we should talk about the submersible and why it's so horrifying. We hear the history of kissing, and learn what animals kiss romantically besides humans. Sarah thinks it all comes down to oral, but Susie thinks it's an evolutionary hack. We get some old gossip about David Letterman and his head writer in the 80s, Merrill Markoe. We learn why she was fired and how it's an industry-wide issue. Hear why men are still outnumbering women even in cartoons and why the Challenge is part of the problem. Plus, we learn why friendship is different in other countries and the government plays a role in the who you consider a "good friend."

In episode 726, we find out the crazy connection between Wordle and one of our favorite documentaries. We question why so many people are buried alive, and suggest putting in some safeguards so we don't have any more zombie funerals. We lose our minds about the fact that neither one of us is listed among the famous alumni of our schools, but some bozo who was on an episode of the Voice and a celebrity's assistant made the cut. Hear some of the worst jobs we've had to take--we're talking recently here--and why we never stop hustling. We learn about "beige flags" and discuss some of our own as well as those of our partners. We realized we're pretty weird, and frankly, we should be glad we found people to live with us. We took a moment to say thank you to books. And we hear why more parents are getting involved in their adult kids' careers, and we are not happy about it.

In episode 725, we start with a brand new segment we're calling Sooz Reviews where Susie tells us which things to watch or read. Today she's giving her thoughts on a bunch of stand-up specials made by women comics including Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Hannah Gatsby, Wanda Sykes, and Leanne Morgan. She talks about how exciting it is to have more perspectives on the stage instead of the same old jokes. We try to understand people who insist on believing in conspiracy theories about things that are not really up for debate (we're looking at you Flat Earthers) including people who think the Titanic didn't sink or was sunk purposely. We discuss the 1972 Best Documentary film, MarJoe, and how we can't believe we didn't hear about it before. Marjoe was a child preacher who decided to return to revivals just to make money even though he didn't believe his message any more and let a film crew document his methods of swindling people. Plus, we talk about the issues SNL has had over forty years, and the reasons Lorne Michaels hasn't been held accountable for the deaths, alleged assaults, and misconduct among the cast.

Hear why Sarah says she's not going back on the Challenge (but Susie is trying to persuade her to change her mind). We hear about a woman who went viral with an image of Satan at Hobby Lobby and the conservatives got really scared they might have to boycott. UPS finally got air-conditioning for their vans thanks to union efforts, but Susie is hoping they move to better uniforms next. Chinese people are making fun of "white people lunches" because they look like "rabbit food." Sarah is loving it, but Susie is getting defensive about her raw carrots. We celebrate a boy who got hired to work on the SpiderMan movie after his LEGO creation went viral, but Susie would rather talk about a hilarious LEGO rivalry/mystery. We learn about the "glamorous" life of a hand model, but get real sidetracked when we think about other body parts that have models, and Susie finds out that Huey Lewis has a giant wiener (aka The News). We debate whether women have "dick amnesia" and hear why Susie thinks she has dick photographic memory. Plus, we revisit the Duggar discussion, and hear why Susie related to their story.

Today we wonder if we'll ever run out of things to talk about (and then quickly realize we never shut up, so we're probably ok). We celebrate the genius of Swedish pancakes and Sarah confesses to a typo on Brain Candy merch. Susie has decided to join a cult, and her leader is none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. She explains why he is her newest obsession and his motto is something she is going to embrace because it's wonderful, but also because it's the antidote to self-pity. Susie can't believe what her son had to do in school, but Sarah says she had to do it too, and it's no big whoop. We learn the new name for synchronized swimming and the reason why these amazing athletes pass out underwater. Plus we discuss the legacy of Little Richard, and how he was a trailblazer for the gay community, but never fully accepted himself despite his presentation as a flamboyant and fabulous musical genius.

Our lives are so crazy that even Sarah's roof's membrane has been punctured and we don't even know what that means. There has been extreme weather events and she has swarms of birds chasing her, so several of the biblical plagues are already affecting this poor woman. We talk about how dumb people are and airlines are even dumber. We discuss the Hollywood auction that is making us want to save our pennies or start a GoFundMe. We learn why men are fickle about the size of women they date. We celebrate the four children who survived forty days in the jungle, but worry that the worst is still ahead for these amazing siblings. Sarah explains why her dreams have been disappointing lately, and she is trying to become a kid again, at least while she sleeps.

Sarah had a drunken weekend, and her arch supports were working overtime on the dance floor. Susie reviews the Duggar documentary series, Shiny Happy People, and we hear why the child predation, religious extremism, and patriarchy are predictable, but the shock came in seeing how the Discovery channel seemed complicit (or at least incompetent/negligent in stopping) the abuse. We learn about a woman who was catatonic for twenty years, and then awoke with memories from her childhood, the ability to talk, and an awareness about her identity. Susie thought a beluga whale was a robot, but found out it was just Flipper with a Go-Pro strapped to its back. She was giving Russian way too much credit. We discuss the Curious Case of Natalia Grace, and why we had originally fallen for the lie that a Ukrainian orphan was a woman instead of a child. Plus, Susie reveals who is responsible for the capture of Anne Frank and why her dad never pursued revenge on the man who caused his family to die in World War II.

Sarah is leaving her crop top era and entering her roomy sweatshirt era. It's a vibe. We hear a symptom of her aging process that requires the help of Dr. Scholl's. And only Sarah could mess up the cure for what ails her in such a hilarious way. We learn about a strange trend on Amazon that Sarah is convinced is the work of a ring of fetishists who can't get enough of a good product review. We discuss some contenders for this year's Darwin Awards including a man who drank gasoline thinking it was an energy drink. We hear why some think social media and YouTube content encourages indentured servitude and the exploitation of kids. And we debate the Swedish Sex Federation's proposal to make sex an official sport complete with categories of seduction and posing to be judged for proficiency. All of the sudden Susie is pro-sports.

Today we hear about the history of moms in advertisements, and the ways companies have adjusted their portrayal of and advertisements to moms. We hear what changed and what has stayed the same from the 1950s through the 20th century. We discuss the debate about whether a top sheet is necessary, and Sarah and Susie are on team millennial on this one. Susie describes a wardrobe malfunction she had as a kid that created some of her darkest (not really) moments and it turns out Sarah is still experiencing this nightmare of the haste-makes-waste variety. Susie watched the new Hillsong church documentary, and she explains why it is so effective at challenging the structure of many Christian churches and how the "bad apple" model that undid Pastor Carl Lentz's career was a smokescreen for the actual issues. Plus we hear why casinos are making more money than ever even though they are getting less business.

Susie teased Sarah about her compulsion to comment on the number of every single episode, which reminded us about the importance of accountability, and how people who live alone too long getting a little...weird. Sarah talks about the tech mogul who is trying to extend his life (or be immortal?) by injecting his son's blood, but we think he's basically inviting the universe to smite him dead. We learn about a woman who smuggled dozens of snake in her carry-on luggage, and many of these NOT SMALL snakes got loose on the plane. Susie thinks she deserves the death penalty, but her punishment was way less than that. We hear why people are mad at the police for their helicopters and Susie describes the time she was chased by a police helicopter. We hear about a lawyer who needs to learn the reasons why you can't fact check ChatGPT with ChapGPT. Plus, we learn about a flight on which everyone died even though the plane didn't crash.

Susie is worked about the Anna Nicole Smith documentary, and the lies she told throughout her life to make money, the price she and her family paid for her lies, and why reality tv wasn't her biggest problem. We hear some old gossip about why Eddie Murphy called out David Letterman for racism, and the way interviewers treat Black celebrities. We hear the history of the home pregnancy test, and how women used to be stigmatized if they even wanted to know whether or not they were pregnant, they waited months for confirmation, and were forced to wear gigantic tents instead of normal human clothes during their pregnancies. We discuss people who "lurk" online (i.e. consume everyone else's content, but don't contribute much of their own), and why it drives Susie crazy. We fact check an article that claimed priests would be forced to wear QR codes that say whether they're predators or not. Plus, we find out what the record is for the person who has birthed the most babies in history, and we think it's a lie.

Sarah was a celebrity judge for a wing contest, and Susie thinks they picked the wrong winner. But she's probably just on edge because her favorite restaurant burnt down recently! We discuss why the chicken community has a lot of scandals and you don't always get what you order. Sarah learned about a crazy sport that has inmates competing for small sums of money, and we debate whether this is an ethical practice and who is getting rich off of people who are incarcerated. We hear about a pod (or should we say gang?) of orca whales who have banded together to seek revenge against a group of ships, and Susie is rooting for the humans while Sarah is team orca. We also learn about a poll where people said which animals they could beat in a fight, and we are shocked at the confidence (and/or strength??) of a lot of people who seem to think they could be victorious against lions, king cobras, and bears. Come on now. We got an update on Sarah's upcoming "marathon" (aka Sarahthon), and why she thinks her optimism about her abilities might have bit her in the butt this time around. Plus, we learn what a "lifetime supply" of various products actually is, and it's ridiculous.

Susie starts telling a story about how she and Adam got into a fight over their estate planning and living wills, but she is suddenly interrupted in a stranger-than-fiction actual emergency while we're recording. When we reconvene, we hear what happened, and discuss the strange coincidence of the timing. It's wild. She talks about her new interest in chess, and tries to understand why chess might attract a certain kind of person, like Bobby Fischer, whose genius offers incredible skill at the game, but ends up causing their demise. And we discuss a scandal in the chess world involving b-holes, but Susie thinks it's more related to the type of person who is obsessed with chess. And we learn about the woman with the highest IQ, the reason why she isn't more famous, and why she was treated so predicably bad by interviewers over the years. We hear about a possible serial killer stalking the streets of Chicago and how one TikToker thinks he is going to solve the mystery with his "investigation." Hear why YouTubers keep doing cringey and dangerous things, and it's making us nuts. Susie shares why a lot of Asian-American women are named Connie, and how representation is so important. Plus, we debate who sold out more: Maury Povich or Judge Judy.

Sarah went to a concert where the "music" was so experimental, she wasn't even sure when to clap or how to dance to it. Susie has a sneaking suspicion white men are behind this "musical" innovation, and someone should tell these fellas to stick to the classics. Sarah's been thinking about the cow tongue mystery we covered recently and she found some other mysteries that might also fall into the alien invasion theory. Apparently infrasounds were recorded in space that do not have a clear origin, but Susie is more interested in hearing how someone managed to make a balloon the size of a basketball court. There were also tremors detected in Denmark that did not come from an earthquake and experts have no idea what caused it. We would like to know who is calling the geological association to report these tremors instead of going to Twitter like a normal person. We discuss the mystery of hundreds of pounds of pasta dumped in the woods, and Susie thinks the case has definitely been solved, but Sarah needs some convincing.

Today we hear about a Jewish family who had a daughter that did not look like them. In fact, she looked Black. And it turned out her mom had an affiar with a Black man, but just never mentioned it to her husband, the daguther (who thought her familial dad was her biological dad until she was in college even though she was dark skinned), or anyone else. It is wild! We discuss how we can convince ourselves to believe things if we are invested in doing so. Susie details a story of a Jeopardy! contestant whose five episode streak in the 80s disappeared from reruns and all streaming and digital archives of the show and she was not invited to Tournament of Champions in the year of her victories, which led to wild speculation about the reason for her omission. Some thought she was just a big old b-word, some thought she was combative with Alex, and others thought she lied about her identity on her application. It turned out the reason was far more hilarious and the perfect story for our show. We cannot quit laughing about this. Sarah deemed this segment among our greatest of all time. We hear why Susie's sister has become one of the faces of AI. And we discuss the man who became known as Patient Zero for AIDS in America, why that designation was inaccurate, why he made some mistakes after being infected, and how his willingness to cooperate with doctors probably saved many lives. It's a story of how we can be a hero and still be flawed and fallible.

Sarah is $400 richer thanks to a tip from Susie, and you might have money waiting for you too! Sarah watched a series on Amazon that is a must-see, and had her in stitches, but also raised some ideas about our gullibility, the legal system, and reality tv. She also watched a film that was marketed as a documentary, and only after she had started the SEQUEL did she realize it was a completely scripted movie. She wants her money back, Bezos! We discuss a trend called "Bare Minimum Mondays" where people ease into the work week to help with burnout, and Susie is rolling her eyes about it. Sarah thinks she would prefer a Foot Off the Gas Fridays instead, but Susie wants people to realize 1) we all do have to work whether we like it or not, 2) a gimmicky life hack isn't the solution to the systemic issues that cause our burnout and malaise. We debate whether a kid who drew on a museum piece in crayon was a hooligan, has bad parents, or was doing exactly what any kid would do if the museum handed him a crayon in an art gallery...or all of the above. Plus, Sarah provides Goodwill tips and a cleaning hack that is saving the day in her closet.

We hear what Sarah learned from the grieving process after losing her dog. Susie shares why it's so hard to teach someone not to procrastinate. We discuss the amazing fortitude and tenacity of Michael J. Fox, and what he says is the secret to staying optimistic despite difficult circumstances. Susie is convinced that aliens are killing cows and taking out their tongues, and Sarah explains why it makes perfect sense for aliens to take tongues and b-holes. We learn about a woman in Australia who was convicted of murdering several of her children over a decade, but now she might be freed due to new evidence. But we are absolutely stumped about whether she did it or not. Susie explains why the limousine industry has changed dramatically over the last twenty years from the car of choice of the rich and famous to being a prom and wedding mobile for the middle class. And we discuss a review we received that was critical of Susie, and she explains why the reviewer should take heart about Susie's personality.

Today we find out why Sarah regrets signing up for a marathon and Susie is saying I told you so, but she's also suggesting Sarah hop in a car and cheat in the race. Sarah thinks Weird Al is the sweet and square version of Howard Stern, but it turns out he's the gentile Howard Stern. Susie tells us about the time she met Weird Al and shares a sad story about his life. Sarah talks about an extremely rare condition where the person cannot feel anything at all--pleasure, pain, or pressure. We learn how a woman who has this condition has struggled to understand lots of phrases because of how frequently language relies on metaphors that refer to touch and feeling. We get an update about the principal who was fired for letting students look at the Michelangelo David statue, and how she's making lemonade out of the lemons. We hear about a test that can determine whether a child has been sexualized too early.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Americans! Hope you enjoy some tacos and margs. Sarah tells a story about how Eli denied her alcohol, and Susie truly feels bad for him for making this "rookie mistake." We discuss the amazing Judy Blume documentary, and how she championed free speech and openness about our bodies way before her time. We learn about a woman who cheated in an ultramarathon, and claimed it was just a "misunderstanding." The woman rode in a car for part of the race! Oopsie daisy! We discuss the Paralympics Tiktok and why it rubs some people the wrong way, but it's right up our alley! Susie talks about the man behind the SNL cue cards, and why he is a New York City legend.

Sarah describes her dog Bo's final day, and why he held on til the very end. We discuss a new show that highlights extreme personalities and fringe lifestyles including one man who spends his days and night prepping for the zombie apocalypse. She explains why simple therapeutic tools helped him make headway on curbing his obsession. But we're less optimistic about a woman who believes she's a time traveler. Susie reminisces about a man she met who claimed he was a time traveler, and why a simple fashion choice made her realize he probably was a fraud. We speculate about the cause of sinkholes and Sarah said she believes there was an underground forest beneath one sinkhole, and we have follow-up questions about that. Plus, we hear what the world's oldest joke is (from 1900 BC!), and why we will never run out of things about which to laugh.

We get a follow-up on Sarah's habit of eating muffin cups and it somehow got even more insane than it already was, but the good news is that there are apparently many people who indulged in baking cup cuisine, so Sarah isn't alone. Susie makes an observation about the show's men watch, and points out how women are willing to watch male hosts, but men are reluctant to watch women. We discuss the Boston bombing documentary and the way photographic evidence and video footage actually made the case more difficult in the beginning of the investigation. We learn why the story was even more shocking than we remember and how moving the documentary was. We hear how the Waco Branch Davidian cult and siege is related to the Boston and Oklahoma City bombings, and why the human brain can get fooled into religious extremism. We hear about a French man who pretended to be an American boy and even fooled the boy's family. And Sarah is hilariously furious about a woman who lived underground for 500 days.

Sarah is in a war with her neighbor, and Susie is strategizing ways to torment him. Sarah thinks they're in a competition for who will open their blinds, but mostly she's mad that he doesn't have a sense of whimsy. This is the most low-states feud in history. Sarah says the personality test to which you subscribe says more about your personality than the results of the personality test itself. It's confusing. Basically, if you love astrology, enneagram, or Meyers-Briggs, it says a lot about who you are. Susie hates all of them equally, and that says that she is just an a-hole. We discuss how famous men rebound easily from their public scandals, but Sarah thought of a woman who seems to have avoided consequences for her crimes. We discuss why the hole in the ozone layer seems to be repaired and why it is probably a fluke. We hear why ice cream is actually healthy and nutritionists have been trying to keep it from you for decades.

Susie goes on an epic rant about people who try to mental health their way out of accountability and the way they use therapy speak to avoid responsibility. She's fuming, people! Sarah explains how a-holes are always going to find ways to be jerks, so this is nothing new. She also shares why comedy commentary is pushing her towards conservatism, and she feels like people need to have more of a sense of humor about human foibles and not be so gee dee sensitive. We debate the Kathy Griffin Trump pic scandal, Roseanne's cancellation, and more. We hear some of the best life hacks, but for once Susie disagrees with Sarah about the best way to cut a cake. We hear from writer and Sasquatch enthusiast Val Brkich about that new footage that has some people convinced of Bigfoot's existence and other people like Sarah even more certain it's all fantasy, and he shocks Susie with some new info about Bigfoot's anatomy. Grab Val's book about Bigfoot and the Civil War!

Sarah is fueling up for this episode with a party size platter of hoagies, and it is glorious. This isn't the only fun food-related incident today, though. Oh no, we also learn that Sarah loved muffins so much as a child that she ATE THE WRAPPERS as well. She blames this habit on having an "almond mom," and we learn why these moms were common in the 90s. She also laments Eli's abstention from bread and admits she's not cut out for the Keto lifestyle. We hear from two food critics who teaches us how to order from a menu like a pro, and they include some tips we did not see coming. Hear what they have to say about classic foods, the reason soups are overlooked, and why short ribs are for rookies. We strategize the best order in which to eat your food, learn how to talk to servers, and talk crap on people who refuse to share. Plus, we learn why turtles hibernate for several months each year and we are livid about the Dali Lama scandal.

Sarah found out she is a "true summer," so she can't wear the look of Gwyneth Paltrow at her trial, so now she's getting rid of her clothes and embracing her color glow-up. We hear why "silent luxury" is all the rage and ostentation is out. We discuss the Brooke Shields documentary, Pretty Baby, and how she coped with being a child in an adult's world including provocative roles and nudity at a young age, having an alcoholic mother, and the pressure of Hollywood as a child star. Hear why a woman is in jail for three years because she swore and made a gesture with her arm, and Susie is freaked out. We discuss a popular movie from the 90s that focused on the lead actress's nudity and didn't bat an eye at assault from the (male) main character. Susie shares the history of boys wearing blue and girls wearing pink and how medicine, capitalism, and consumerism drove the trend. Finally, we learn about a man who refused to split the cost of medical bills with his partner for the birth of his child, and we are livid.

We discuss Sarah's religious dabbling, and how she's been pretty much every religion on Earth for a minute including once when she had to wear a wig for religion. We hear about the famous Bigfoot video that has been the foundation for Bigfoot lore for decades, and how it has been remastered. Sarah claims the video is proof it's a hoax, while Susie's friend who is a Squatcher (?) says the video confirms their existence. We hear how an impaled bird proved what happened to all the birds in the winter (and for some reason people thought they went to the damn moon for a while). We learn about animals that glow-in-the-dark and why we have no idea why or how that's happening. A helicopter was flown on Mars (but yet the helicopters at those mall kiosks can't fly on Earth for more than a day). Sarah had a VERY momentous occasion in her relationship and Susie thinks it will change everything. We got good news about heart health and longevity, and we celebrate having a party of one late at night while the rest of world sleeps.

Susie is going to meet one of her comedy heroes, and she needs Sarah's advice on what to wear, what to say, and how to become best friends with him. We learn about a Catholic group who bought user data to track the online activities of priests and monitor whether they're using dating/hook-up apps. We discuss the idea of the "gay lifestyle," and somehow ending up debating Bert and Ernie power dynamics. Susie describes AI-generated images depicting groups throughout history and the reason the photos do not accurately show how they would behave. We also hear why Russians think Americans are idiots and we all smile too damn much. We discuss culture that most people don't realize is rooted in racism, and whether these things should be "cancelled" or if it's just racism clickbait where white people police each other. In the end, now we know more than when we started, and as GI Joe says, "Knowing is half the battle."

700 episodes! It's pretty remarkable that we're still talking and, more importantly, you're still listening! Thank you!!! Sarah was very eager to share some news in the culinary world that has actual animal meat being produced in labs. So she wants to know if vegans/vegetarians will eat it since no animals were killed in the creation of it. We discuss Levi's decision to have model "diversity" by using robot models instead of, you know, actual human beings. We are furious about the principal who was fired because a teacher showed her students Michelangelo's David statue and some morons thought it was obscene. Sarah talks about some new laws that limit social media for kids and we consider whether this is good or will be effective. Plus, we hear why Botox might be limiting emotions of its users.

Anyone know what happens at cemetaries in New Orleans, because we've heard some things and we're confused and intrigued. Sarah talks about how a piece of the sun broke off and got sucked into a polar vortex, and it's wild. Bad news though, an astroid is headed straight for Earth and we only have twenty years to have Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck solve the problem. Susie saved Sarah and Eli's relationship with a cleaning hack that will prevent future fights. Sarah might become a cat mom and Susie is thrilled. We discuss the gigantic blob of seaweed that is headed for the U.S. and Susie somehow is blaming Walt Disney for it. We hear the science behind why nostalgia is good for you, and how you can take the fast track to the goold old days when you're feeling depressed. And Sarah realized this week she's officially an old lady, and Susie is here for it!

We're in the comfort business today because we're losing one of our own. Bo Louise Rice is in her final days and her person is very sad! We know you all can relate to how painful it is to lose a dog, so we hope you'll show Sarah some love. We discuss some crazy things that have happened to us recently with Sarah having a good (!) experience with cops at Target and Susie's husband having the cops called on him! We hear why giving the finger is your god-given right officially in Canada, and we've decided to give more things the thumbs down. We hear about a man who found $550,000 cleaning out his car! We learn about a study about penis growers and show-ers and why scientists think it's important to study. Plus, Susie explains why people are digging holes for no reason.

It's always a good time to have an apology tour (it's kind of our specialty), so we kicked off the episode setting the record straight about our love and affection for our LGBTQIA+ listeners. Susie might've overcorrected because now she thinks everyone should be gay. We debate Hugh Grant's viral red carpet interview with Sarah saying he's a jerk and Susie saying red carpet interviews suck and he probably just wanted a little more substance. Susie talked about the documentary on Jared the former Subway spokesperson who is now in jail. We hear how bears manage to hold their bodily functions for the month's when they're hibernating and it's more disturbing than we were prepared for. There has been a study about the most unsettling noise, and Sarah thinks it's spot on. We learn about the missing Malaysian airliner and why its disappearance is so baffling. Susie gets real judge-y about the cultural obsession with the Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal and wants people to cool their jets about it all.

Today we learn why Susie is feeling nostalgic about the Challenge and Sarah never got full closure after her season. We hear about an author who Susie suspected of misrepresenting scientific facts, who now was found to be a plagiarist, and she feels vindicated in sniffing out a scammer. We discuss the girls basketball team who was forced to play in a boys tournament, won, and then was denied the trophy because they are...girls. Susie talks about a man who hasn't worn shoes in twenty years, and she is not happy about it at all. We discuss the privilege he is leveraging to do this, and we debate why shoes are even necessary. Susie reveals how Reuters caught one company claiming to recycle shoes while it turns out they were just dumping them off for donations and resale. Plus, Susie reveals some unsavory gossip about Charlie Chaplin that is changing our opinion of the film legend.

We kick the show off by hearing why Sarah got KICKED OUT of a McDonald's. Think of how bad you'd have to be to be kicked out of a McDonald's. We hear why Susie made an inappropriate joke while pregnant, and Sarah had to take a field sobriety test. We debate whether oral sex, handjobs, and other explicit acts qualify as sex or not. Sarah reveals why the penis has changed in artwork, and we have some theories about why the size changed dramatically in the last 100 years. For some reason we find out what's in saliva and we play a disgusting game of Would You Rather, where no one really wins. We discuss a NASA astronaut who revealed shocking claims about aliens that have some people thinking he's lost his marbles and other people thinking he's the only person telling the truth. We learn why clowns are such a common phobia and we're surprised to learn it's not really due to childhood clown-related trauma.

Susie kicks off the show sharing a story about a friend of hers who is using an app to meet new friends, and how hard it is to make friends as an adult. Sarah talks about the idea of a "best friend" and how this is a new phenomenon that is especially espoused by women, and is sort of ridiculous. We learn about people with extreme introversion and are known as "nocturnals" because they adjusted their schedule to sleep all day and stay awake all night to avoid human interaction. We find out why the cure for hiccups exists, but no one knows about it. Susie discusses the TikTok filter that makes you look like your teenage self and her theory about why Generation X and older are emotional about it. We are mad at Tiger Woods for playing a prank where he gave a male golfer a tampon as an insult. And Susie explains why the Be Real app couldn't keep users interested in authenticity.

Sarah shares her birthday tales, which included drunk snowboarding, fireball shots, and a ski lift near miss. It did not disappoint. She also describes how our listeners inspire her to be a better version of herself, which encouraged Susie who is starting to feel like nice gals finish last. We discuss motivations for success, and why Susie's isn't healthy, but possibly effective. Hear why some people think movies should have more sex scenes, and the myriad reasons they have decreased recently. Susie describes her first experience watching a movie that got her hot and bothered and why Road Rules introduced her to porn. We explain why kissing is more erotic than most full sex scenes, at least for women. Sarah talks about a radioactive capsule that went missing in the Australian outback and why it's even worse than finding a needle in a haystack (which, by the way, would take 18 hours according to science). Plus, we have a drunk science session about bananas, x-rays, soda, and boobs. It's a lot.

We're kicking March off (or as we like to call it, Fool's Spring) with a story about testicles--yay!!! It turns out men with bigger balls are crappier dads. We debate whether this is a product of low testosterone or some other physical issue or whether it's a societal construct where men with bigger balls just don't think they should or want to be active parents. Either way, we're mad. Susie describes Foreign Accent Syndrome, where after a person has an injury, disease, or traumatic experience they suddently start talking with an accent from a country from which they do not hail. It's one of her favorite maladies, but we find out why it causes more problems than you'd think in terms of relationships. We hear about a reported dead body in a lake that turned out to be a sex doll, and we were having a grand old time until we learned more details about the "body" that are MAJOR red flags. Now we think a crime might actually have occurred after all! Finally, we discuss the decision by the Roald Dahl company to edit his books to remove offensive language.

Today's episode is a doozy! Sarah is feeling a little non-commital about making plans, but we're determined to start thinking ahead and making plans to look forward to. We can't let the pandemic ruin the future anymore. We hear about the Stolen Youth documentary about the Sarah Lawrence mind-control cult, and Sarah is having a completely physical reaction about their mental hell. We learn the purpose of beards, and it turns out they are not for keeping your chinny-chin-chins warm. Sarah discusses a zookeeper in Mexico who is accused of EATING the zoo animals. Plus, we debate which zoo animal we would eat if we were in a pinch.

We have a rebuttal to a keyboard warrior who took issue with our commentary on Hitler's medical history, which is a sentence we never thought we'd write. Susie explains why discussing shame is critical to understanding human behavior. We learn about a dog who inherited $500M when his owner died, and why things are not at all what they appear to be. The documentary Gunther's Millions tells the story of this dog (and it's heirs), his handler, and the strange way depression, a search for meaning, and tax law all play into the story of this fortune. Susie discusses the Volcano documentary that tells the story of a popular tourist attraction that seemed like controled risk turned into a life or death situation for some unsuspecting people on vacation. We talk about a book about autism that argues for the public perception to shift instead of resorting to "traumatic" behavioral therapy for people on the spectrum. We debate the word "trauma" and how it is being used more frequently now as a synonym for discomfort. We hear about scholars who have finally decoded Mary Queen of Scots's letters sent from prison after her cousin Queen Elizabeth I imprisoned her.

We discuss how our problems suddenly seem bearable when we consider switching them for someone else's. Sarah describes her Valentine's Day surprise from Eli and why not everyone should be cracking jokes on a microphone like we do. Sarah got a physical and it turns out she's 100% that old lady, and she does not appreciate the insinuation that just because she's old she's not a big old slut. We discuss how our vaginas are still mysterious even though we've had them our whole lives. Hear why Sarah is mad as a hornet about a comic book movie coming out, and why men seem to live without consequences. We discuss some crazy things happening at zoos, and how if you mess with a tiger you might get the fangs.

Susie breaks down the Pam Anderson documentary (produced and directed by our buddy, Ryan White) and the ways she represents the dynamic between men and women culturally. The documentary looks at Pam as a sex symbol, cultural icon, and reflection of gender dynamics in the West. Sarah shares a shocking story about a Baywatch actor who insulted her at a club many years ago. We hear about a woman who was ordered to stop breastfeeding so her ex-husband could maintain equal custody, and we debate whether the judge did the right thing. Sarah explains how women can wield their motherhood as a way to leverage power. Susie talks about a woman in a wheelchair who wants social media platforms to do more to protect her from people with a "disability fetish," and we discuss why we think she's being unrealistic about life online. We learn about the "millennial pause" and "Gen Z shake" and why different generations behave differently online. Plus, we hear the history of digital Easter eggs and how they make people feel superior.

Happy Valentine's Day to all who celebrate--and we hope you do because love is the most important thing in the world! And to get in the spirit, Susie is trying to convince Sarah to propose to Eli. Hear what she has to say about that idea, and her answer may suprise you. We discuss a woman who got divorced, but chose to keep her ex-husband's name, and some people are worked up about it. And we consider why the last name debate is so fraught and complicated. We learn about a study where men had to identify parts of a woman's anatomy (including a part that doesn't even exist), and they were very confident and very wrong. Susie explains why she still struggles with the purity culture mindset she grew up in, and how it informs her views on sexuality, women, and modesty. We discuss two examples of people who were wrongly declared dead, and how Susie's fears of being buried alive have been triggered.

Hear about a docuseries called Mind Over Murder where six people were wrongfully accused of the rape and murder of a woman after five of them confessed to the crime. We explore why people would say they did something they had nothing to do with, why we're all at risk of the same strange weakness, and why humans never realize their own fragility. We discuss a woman who was found in and rescued from a storm drain not once, not twice, but thrice in the last two years, and we theorize what the hell is going on with her. Susie describes the unraveling of the Murdaugh family who were among the most powerful and elite in their town for 100 years, and why, after a boating accident, it all went wrong very quickly. We explain why the Stanford Prison Experiment might not be accurate despite being the most famous psych experiment of all time. Susie describes why the pain of stepping on a LEGO is worse than glass or fire, and Sarah's got a theory about why it might be an emotional pain as well as a physical pain. Plus, we learn why people need subtitles now more than ever before despite "improvements" in technology.

Hear why Susie plans on becoming a chart-topping singer. Sarah and Susie are planning their ski adventure and Susie really hopes it doesn't involve any...skiing. Susie decides we need a "swear jar" for every time Sarah says the word "Eli," and Sarah is kinda freaked out. We hear about the evolution of Marie Kondo, and theorize why she is doing an about-face on her rigid tidying rules. We discuss an article that asks the question, "What's the matter with men," and consider some societal factors that may be causing men to become less educated, employed, and emotionally stable. Sarah met someone from the future, sort of, and now she's realizing that some of the things he talked to her about are actually coming true. But it's not SpOoOOooOky so much as wild. So turns out, the apocalypse might not be all bad after all.

Susie informs us about some big changes in the bowling world that bowling alley owners are thrilled about, but professional bowlers think is a real gutter ball. And Sarah claims Eli almost went pro in bowling. We discuss the documentary about Miss Cleo, the "Jamaican" psychic who convinced white people she had the magical ability to answer hundreds of phone calls at once. We learn about the fallout since the Hillsong docuseries came out, and why there's "a lot of money to be made off of poverty." We find out how the Amber Alert came to be, and Sarah is shocked to learn it was named after a person, not a color. Susie describes the conditions for a 200-mile marathon that takes place in a tunnel. We theorize what type of person willingly participates in something so torturous.

Today we find out about a type of plant that knows how to count (???), but its plant cousin is a dummy that doesn't know how (so Susie thinks it's going to be a goner). Hear about a documentary that Sarah participated in, but she ended up on the cutting room floor. We discuss ways that humans recover from shame, embarrassment, and, well, being human. Sarah explains why McDonald's Coca-Cola tastes better than other Coke. We learn about a study that determined whether men with smaller penises really do prefer flashy sports cars. We discuss a study that found that people who have trouble sleeping are far more likely to believe in the paranormal (e.g. aliens, ghosts, demons), and the theories for why that might be. Plus, we talk about "fubbing," which is snubbing someone by looking at your phone, and why it's having a huge impact on relationships.

Susie can't quit thinking about the Bernie Madoff docuseries and his $65 BILLION (with a B!) scam that he ran for 40 years. She thinks we can learn a lot about non-violent sociopaths from his example. She also can't quit thinking about Chippendales (not to be confused with Chip and Dale. And Chip and Dale are not to be confused with Alvin and the Chipmunks) exotic male dancers. She watched the Curse of Chippendales, and apparently those guys have really been through the wringer. You'd never know it from Susie's focus, which is their feet of all things. Sarah is really into this story as her transition to cougar is almost complete. Susie is mad that Instagram even makes users censor breasts in works of art regardless of how "realistic" the body parts are. Is there no limit to the fear of the boob? And we discuss whether you can separate the art from the artist when they've done something despicable like Bill Cosby. Susie attempted to do that by watching an old clip of his stand-up, and she was distrurbed by her reaction. Finally, we learn about a romance novelist who faked her own death and then came back to life and wanted everyone to be fine with it.

Sarah brought a whole lot of poo content, and we are learning so much! We hear why whale poo is basically saving the world, and whales aren't getting enough credit. We loved Free Willy before, but now we love it even more (especially the soundtrack, come on!). We hear why dragonfly ladies have created the perfect way to avoid the annoying male dragonflies that won't take a hint. It's very relatable. Dude dragonflies, she's just not that into you! Hear why Tasmanian Devil moms are savage, lobsters aren't so elegant after all, and the Cats musical had a big problem related to cat bums. Sarah wants to know what kind of superhero accessories we would carry (or sit on, in Susie's case). We learn about a reality show "experiment" that placed boys in one house and girls in the other to observe how they behaved without adults for a week. It did not go well.

We have to make a correction about the poop lottery story, and, boy, are we disappointed. We report the results of our poop survey (what's worse: the smell or the sound). We were both sort of shocked by the outcome. We discuss farts for far too long, and we are deeply sorry for so much flatulence content lately. Susie talks about a documentary about Ric Flair, legendary wrestler, and how, even though she doesn't like wrestling, this film is a must-see. That guy lives a wild life and has survived an inordinate amount of insanity. Susie is being a boomer again (kind of) about a lecturer at a university who was fired for showing ancient Muslim artwork because it was seen as Islamophobic. We also discuss a documentary about the 1/6 insurrection, and how it demonstrates the ways people on all sides of the political and cultural spectrum are not ok post-pandemic etc... But we try to think of it from a human psychology point of view rather than one of judgment and the ways fear, vulnerabilities, etc.. can inform our behavior.

Hear why Sarah has betrayed the Curly Girl community and she has "hair dysmorphia." We learn about the Don't Pick Up the Phone documentary where a man would pose as a cop on the phone and trick fast food managers into doing strip searches and more to their innocent employees. The "hoax" (nightmare! crime!) went on for years and no one has really paid the price for it besides the victims. We discuss the use of artificial intelligence to make robot attorneys and we are optimistic (uh oh!) about their benefits. We decide robot judges would be a different story though. Sarah explains why high-tops have been getting too much credit regarding their advantages in basketball. We find out the trick to overcoming a fear of heights, and it sounds easier than it really is.

It starts out doom and gloomy as we discuss injuries of football players and other public figures. We suggest football should become gentler and involve far fewer items of clothing...you know, for safety. Susie's mom is having health challenges, but that doesn't mean she won't make fun of her, so that's fun. But these conversations were a perfect appeteaser to our larger discussion on aging, happiness, and health. Since it's January and that's what's on everybody's mind, we discuss how to give yourself the best chance of happiness in old age. We find out the seven traits that are the best predictors of a long, healthy, happy life and they are...exactly what every other article has said for the last seven years. We learn how a "death positive" woman who encouraged people to face death with joy reacted to her own mortality. We hear how she threw herself a funeral while she was still living, and brought in documentary crews to document her journey to the other side. But we ended up thinking she wasn't death positive, but just self-absorbed and attention-seeking. It took a real crazy turn! Speaking of crazy, we debate whether you should be "allowed" to use that word of if it's equivalent to the stigmatizing language we've moved away from for people with intellectual disabilities. Plus, Sarah hallucinated that her arms were sticks and Susie can't quit laughing.

Today we discuss how Susie has some Boomer opinions about certain progressive opinions of the language police. We discuss the Rolling Stone list of the best singers and get worked up about their Celine Dion omission. Susie reveals why her mom questioned her Celine fandom after learning a conspiracy theory on YouTube. We learn behind-the-scenes scoop about Shania Twain and her Man! I Feel Like a Woman video. Then we move into our favorite topic with a huge debate about the worst part of pooping, and we do not agree at all. Is it the odor or the sound? And why are we all so embarrassed by doing number 2s anyway?

We check in with each other about 2023 goals and resolutions, and it turns out, Susie and Sarah's goals are in complete conflict with each other. So this oughtta be one heckuva year! Susie kicks things off with a poop story for the ages! A woman won $3M and decided to get revenge on someone who mistreated her, and it was really something. We then get some old gossip about Hitler that explains A LOT about his insecurities, but is shocking that most people don't know. We discuss that big ass aquarium that exploded in Berlin and how Sarah was surprised that none of the fish survived. We debate vanity plates, and whether they are ever cool. We learn why commercials are starting to be self-referential, ironic, and irreverent, and why consumers don't want any b.s. anymore. Susie explains why she hates personality tests (which probably means she should take a personality test to find out why) and wonders why women are so into them.

Susie wants to know why streaking was popular for like two minutes, and we would like to bring it back in 2023. Let's do this, people! Sarah explains why public toilets use horseshoe-shaped toilet seats instead of ovals, but we're still confused. This sounds like a man designed a weird toilet seat and everyone just went along with it. We learn about dreams around the world, and how the nightmares we're having are not the same as people in other places. Turns out, our teeth falling out is a distinctly Western thing. We discuss why bats are the spookiest animals and how their voices mimic that of death metal singers.

Susie is psyched out of her mind about the Strange Names documentary that features people with unusual, disturbing, or celebrity names. It's so good! We discuss some of the crazy names, why parents name their kids names that will get them bullied, and how a name can determine so much of your life. We also discuss why we mock certain names that certain cultures tend to use (like all the white lady influencers), and what's behind our disdain. We talk about the Harry and Meghan docuseries and why even though Susie loves those two crazy kids, she's a little sick of hearing about their love story (she's just a crumudgeon, that's all). We hear about the "liver king" who grew a huge social media following claiming that his caveman ways were his secret to his phsyique, but really it was, you know, drugs. Hear why Sarah is hoping for a restful 2023, she is not going to be optimistic, and she is learning to go with the flow of life. Finally, we debate the use of fat suits in movies, and whether a smaller actor should play a bigger character.

Breaking news in the science world with an explanation for why we get sick in the winter, and it's not what we thought all along. We've been living a viral lie. Hear why your nose is indoorsy and it's making you sick. We learn the evolution of the b-hole, and we are very thankful that our bodies had the good sense to improve our entrance and exit scenario. Sarah is happy she found someone who lets her groom him like an ape. It's beautiful. Sarah explains why brussel sprouts had a real comeback in 1990 and now we're stuck with them on every bougie menu. Susie's still mad about them though because they are a little too much like cilantro. We find out which fruits and veggies are human-made. We discuss why knowing too much can cause anxiety, and sometimes being a big dumb-y can be comforting. Sarah is pissed about microtransactions, and we get to hear her spiral in real time.

Today we hear about a documentary exploring a different approach to therapy, and Susie wants to know why therapists insist on distancing themselves from their clients. Sarah shares why it actually benefits the client to work through their issues without being given the answers. We hear about a nurse who was killing his patients and we theorize why women tend to use the weapon of poison when they kill. We debate the activists who throw stuff on famous works of art and consider whether that is an effective tool for changing the world. Susie is mad about the Casey Anthony documentary (and somehow that led her to complain about TikTok AGAIN). We try to figure out what the giant stick is that is sticking out of the beach in Florida, and Susie's a little mad Sarah didn't think it was the work of aliens. And we hear why twins are so darn fascinating/creepy.

Sarah salutes a good Samaritan Amazon worker and then she confesses to her secret love of Amazon (despite her previous boycott of the company). We learn about a man who was fired for not having enough fun at work. He sued the company for wrongful termination after they claimed he was a big party pooper. We discuss how we hate required fun and team-building exercises. Sarah tells us about a monastery in Thailand that was raided by the police because they were all hopped up on meth. We theorize why these monks are so into meth when there is perfectly good shrooms and pot that could complement their meditating. We discuss an online debate about whether your family used a "popcorn bowl" for vomiting, and Susie is not ok. Apparently many families use a food bowl for their puke and this seems bizarre and also very very disgusting. But guess whose family did this...Sarah's. Plus, we discuss the amazing Goodnight Oppy documentary and Sarah's Kardashian obsession.

Susie is singing the praises of the Pepsi, Where's My Jet documentary about a boy who got enough Pepsi points to earn a jet, but Pepsi claimed they were just joking about the jet. Hear what happened when he sued the company and why we're mad about it. We discuss Phil Spector's incredible career in music producing dozens of hits in the 60s and 70s and innovating the way songs are made, but how he ended up in jail for murder. Sarah is more fascinated by his wigs than his music or the murder though. Susie explains why some psychologists are rethinking how they understand compulsive lying and why they think for some people it's similar to Tourette's or addiction. We learn about a room that was created to produce no sound and Susie's annoyed with TikTokkers who claim if you spend time in the chamber that you'll have psychosis or hallucinations. Plus, we learn why Liberace is more amazing than we realized, but he spent a lot of money and time suing anyone who claimed he was gay. Even though he was gay in actuality, he remained closeted for his entire rhinestone-encrusted life.

Susie wants to know when Sarah realized she was uncensored, but we're pretty sure Susie is just as weird about oversharing. We discuss a woman who didn't want to sit near a crying baby at a fancy restaurant, and we are totally on her side. Kids are not meant for fine dining. We learn about the trans woman who won a beauty pageant and why she is making some TERFs uncomfortable. We hear a cautionary tale about holding in your sneezes, and Susie is pissed about women who pretend to have feminine sneezes. We discuss what hearing impaired people think about hearing people, and learn why we're super annoying. Plus, we memorialize Leslie Jordan, and Susie provides some "old gossip" about his parents and how he was allowed to be his true self.

Susie watched the Barney (as in the purple dinosaur) documentary and it was a shockingly sad story. We discuss the backlash towards the wholesome content and the effect it all had on its creator and her family. We discuss the science behind when you officially become an adult and the reasons why it's not simply biology, but rather a combination of life experiences and brain development. Hear why music gives us the chills. Susie offers some "old gossip" about Lucy and Desi and their hit show, I Love Lucy, and the reason why Lucy might get too much credit. We learn about a collection of 10,000 human brains and the ethical questions about what we can do with them. Plus, we hear why everybody has a doppelganger, and you might want to find yours.

Hear why Susie's "powder room" is very funny and Sarah's is NSFW. We discuss the implosion of Twitter and the weird devotion of Elon Musk's "musketeers." We need a new assessment of Nick Cannon because that man is not ok. Sarah offers some exciting news about young inventors and shares the amazing things young girls are developing in STEM. Sarah is very annoyed about a man who ate a rotisserie chicken every day for 40 days, and her reasoning is that it's not that hard to eat that much chicken. We learn about "persuasion fatique," which we as a society are all dealing with as politics become more polarized. And we hear about a group of mermaids (!!!) that saved a drowning man, and this is not just Sarah's usual fan fiction!

Today is finally our demonic episode featuring the number of the beast 666! We are so excited to discuss the evils of the Satanic Panic. We learn where the panic started, why Sarah's parents were into all the devilishness, and why Susie now can't listen to Pink Floyd as a result. We hear about Anton LaVey, who started the Church of Satan and the allegations lodged at innocent people about rituals and occult affiliation. We also learn how the panic never really ended, but just morphed into Pizzagate and other conspiracy theories still around today. Susie explains why Jerry Falwell Sr. was in on it, and now his heir is in hot water over a poolboy, threesomes, and a whole lot of hypocrisy. We find out why people have different manners today and we are disclosing a lot of private info about ourselves, and we hear why that has good and bad effects on culture. Plus, we hear about a video on stuttering that made Susie realize how we all need to learn how to be better listeners.

We're fresh off our reunion in Chicago, so we discuss our trip, the fun we had with our Brainiacs, and the comedy show in which Susie performed. Sarah is getting us all nostalgic about our childhood by discussing the games kids play, their enduring appeal generation after generation, and what makes them so fun. We learn how the games kids play and things that interest them are consistent, catchy, and kid-created. We learn why men are constantly touching their junk, and we debate whether it's instinctual or cultural. We hear why nose-picking might be way worse for you than we thought. Sarah explains how Japan's oldest toilet endured a fate far worse than just a bad poo situation when the man charged with guarding it ended up causing its demise.

Susie has a new enemy and we're all very excited about it. We are less excited about her husband's recent health scare, and Susie has some tips for you if you're in a similar situation. We discuss the Tree of Life documentary about the Jewish synagogue shooting, and why it was a tribute instead of a "true crime" trope. We hear about the man who invented the Trapper Keeper and why it became a cultural touchstone. Susie discusses a Japanese reality tv show that made us thankful we were on the Challenge instead. We reminisce about candy cigarettes and hear about the shocking statistic about kids who ate (smoked?) them. Plus, Sarah reveals a scandalous detail about her parents that blows Susie's mind.

We begin with a warning to candy manufacturers--we're on to you and your smaller fun size candy bars and treats. Who do you think you're fooling? This isn't our first rodeo. We learn about a bird who flew so long that we are starting to think birds are superheroes. Sarah teaches us about humming, which aside from being annoying, it turns out can improve your health in a million ways. We discuss a new sport called slap fighting that is ridiculous and Susie thinks Sarah would be good at it. And we find out why swearing is actually amazing, and provides a lot of benefits to us. So fuck you, Linda.

Susie is mad at one of her favorite authors, so she rants about his boomer views. We discuss a documentary about competitive dog groomers, and Susie explains why she thinks they're similar to professional athletes. We hear some "old gossip" about Jayne Mansfield, and learn why her death saved lives. We debate a New York Times Op-Ed that said therapy isn't for everyone, and going doesn't mean you're necessarily a good person. Susie wants to know if any of Sarah's therapy clients have ever been combative (and it's probably because Susie sounds like she wants to punch her therapist, which doesn't seem like a healthy attitude. lol). We discuss the fishermen who loaded their fish with weights to cheat in a contest, and we discuss people who *ahem* cheat and then want to "take the money and run." Plus, Susie discusses the rise in online "cults" and why the culture right now makes conspiracy theories more appealing. Listen out for this week's Old Gossip™ segment and let us know your favorite celebrity stories from the archives.

Happy Halloween, Brainiacs! Today we're getting spoooooky. We hear why the story of Pavlov, his dogs, and that damn bell are not at all accurate, and we've been living a lie. We hear why "gamer identity" makes them more prone to bigotry and radicalization. Plus, Sarah explains what it's like to be harassed online, how it makes you see people differently overall, and why it's way more common than we realized. And she offers specific techniques for dealing with the feeling that the whole (online) world is against you. And in honor of Halloween, Susie tries to talk Sarah into dying her hair black again.

Susie is worked up today! First she insisted on delving into some "old gossip" about Frank Sinatra that blew Sarah's mind. Susie's also mad at Spotify and Sarah is offended. We discuss a documentary about a murder on a submarine that gave Susie literal nightmares. We hear what it's really like to go on Jeopardy! and it might not be as good as you'd think. We debate whether free, crowdsourced info like Wikipedia is beneficial or problematic, and why the truth can be expensive. Susie explains why book sales are so mysterious and scholars aren't able to access the info. We hear about a poker scandal that has us fuming, the history of purses, and Sarah admits to having something very witchy in her bag.

Sarah has the giggles when she tries to fall asleep, so today we hear why you think things are funnier at bedtime. We discuss "old people smell," and learn why different age groups have different odors and whether it's hygiene, hormones, or just the smell of death. Sarah finds out why fish in certain rivers are hopped up on drugs and why it's affecting fish populations. We discuss the practice of putting ashes of a loved one in your tattoos and we revisit the skin preservation and framing trend. Finally, we hear whether certain people are prone to getting bit by mosquitoes and what factors influence their attraction to you.

Susie kicks off the show with a condemnation of Kanye West and his anti-semitism. We hear about a documentary that talks about the sexual allegations against Mario Batali and how the restaurant industry has a real problem. We debate whether the MeToo villains become violent out of entitlement or if there's more to the story. We discuss how gender informs physical ability, and we consider solutions to trans and nonbinary people in sports (Susie says no sports, Sarah says new sports.) We learn about a man who has called 911 hundreds of times to report crimes at an imaginary hotel and how mental illness can have consequences that are stigmatizing because of who they hurt and affect. Plus, we hear why people think "authentic" Japanese food has to be expensive, but "authentic" Mexican food has to be cheap, and why it contributes to stereotypes.

Today we discuss how humans don't do well being alone, and how the Challenge and other reality shows can demonstrate what happens when we are alone with our thoughts. Sarah explains how lakes can explode and how one hilariously named man is trying to prevent the next lake explosion. We discuss animals in captivity and how scientists are coming up with creative ways to avoid hurting animals while still satisfying the desire people have to connect with them. Sarah lists the signs that you're dying (and Susie is now convinced she's a goner), and why dying from "natural causes" is unclear and varies around the world.

Today we hear what went wrong with Susie's lip fillers and why she is a glutton for punishment because she'll do it again. We discuss "performing beauty" and how these alleged feminists willingly modify their body. Susie talks about a Richard Simmons documentary that, while it wasn't well-made, was interesting in its explanation for Richard's "disappearance." This led us to a discussion about how documentaries are changing, and why it's making Susie more cautious about what she watches. We discuss the Bling Ring and Sarah's surprising connection to the burglars. Susie discusses Jeffrey Dahmer and how he had the perfect "recipe" of personal ingredients to become a serial killer and she explains how it's similar to John Wayne Gacy and a Columbine shooter. Plus, we discuss "repressed memories" and how therapists in the 80s and 90s were persuading people to believe they'd experienced trauma that they hadn't actually experienced.

We cover a ton today! First we follow-up on our conversation about nudist beaches and consider our feelings on nudist communities. We think people should probably keep their chonies on for several reasons. We learn the difference between comets, meteors, and asteroids, and are relieved that NASA is going to protect us from them (but Sarah is still mad at NASA for some littering). We hear about a serial killer database and the reasons why serial killing is on the decline, but we were shocked to learn the rates of female killers in the early 20th century. Plus, we theorize why mass killings are on the rise. Sarah reveals what Kelly Clarkson and Nietzsche have in common and the reason a common cliche is wrong after all.

Today we find out why Susie and Sarah are both "agents of chaos," but for different reasons. Susie watched a documentary about 2Pac and Biggie, and now she's an expert on 90s hip hop, and Sarah is here for it. We learn about a recent death in the Navy Seals training camp, and why few people are passing the course each year. Plus, we hear why the performance-enhancing drugs people use to complete the training are bad for the military. We discuss the death of the last member of an uncontacted tribe in Brazil and why Susie is obsessed with these idigenous groups and their decision to live in isolation. Susie went to the Chris Rock concert, and we discuss how his style of comedy was inspiring to her and reminded her of church. Plus, we interview Ralphy Rodriguez about his time in the group Menudo, how he coped with the difficulties the group experienced, and how it's similar to Susie's experience in reality tv.

What an episode! Sarah pulls out all the stops for this one. We find out what she's up to this SpOooOooOOky season and why it made us realize we are very very old. We learn some shocking news about sexual assault survivors that we had never thought about. Sarah explains a surgery men are getting to improve their looks and lives that can cost up to $70K. We hear why Susie is talking about boners and Sarah's vagina has a "soul patch." We learn about Peto's Paradox, which explains a lot about animal longevity, size, and testicles. But as an aside, testicles are insane and we won't shut up about it. Plus, find out why that dream you have about school is so common and tips for avoiding anxiety dreams.

Susie and Sarah have a disagreement about whether dinner should just be dinner or if it's better with a murder mystery, a concert, or blindfolds. We discuss the Birthday Song and point out what a terrible tune it is, and we agree that the United States probably has the worst birthday song in the world. Susie watched the Sins of Our Mother documentary, and they discuss the way religious zealotry can lead to delusions, but also how mental illness can contribute to religious ideations. We talk about the debate about whether Law & Order is police propaganda or just harmless entertainment. Finally, we learn why some people think the internet is ruining nude beaches, and we debate whether it's because of unrealistic beauty standards, surreptitious filming, or the accessibility of porn.

We discuss the negative review we got from a male listener, and share why he wasn't entirely wrong, but we're still mad. Sarah is literally falling apart after her slip-n-slide disaster, and she might have to avoid the powder this winter. We learn why narcissists are prone to conspiracy theories, and it's all sounding very familiar (because there's more than a few fellas on the Challenge who fit the bill). We hear why owning a cat is good for your health and for some reason we want to know if lesbians (and Brainiacs in general) prefer dogs or cats. Sarah had a poop disaster at her house. And we learn why famed psychologist, Joyce Brothers, is a badass bitch.

We discuss the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the good and bad that she represented. We learn about the Telling the Bees tradition, why the Queen's death was announced to her bees, but also why this is not a practice reserved for monarchs. Susie tries to convince Sarah that cats have a very important advantage over dogs. We talk about the Choose Your Own Adventure book series, why the publisher wanted all the protagonists to be boys, and how the series teaches children a lot about life, virtue, risk, and regrets. Plus, and most importantly!, Susie interviews her hero, James Burrows about his incredible career in television. He directed Taxi, Cheers, Friends, Fraiser, Will & Grace, and hundreds of pilots of television that have changed American culture, television, and comedy. He is a giant of pop culture, and it was the honor of Susie's life to speak with him about his book, Directed By James Burrows.

Welp. Sarah strikes again. She can't resist the urge to show off in front of children, and now she's paying the price. And she thinks she's going to make a DIY cast for her ankle, so Susie thinks maybe she injured her brain as well. In addition to the hijinks and hilarity from her river adventure, we also learn a thing or two. We find out which jobs promote better sleep and Susie's mind is blown about why certain jobs might be advantageous. And hear why women get less stressed the longer they work in an industry while men's stress increases.

Susie wants to know what it is about alcohol that feels like a panacea. We discuss the bonkers new docu-series, House of Hammer, which documents the generational trauma, violence, and immorality of the Hammer dynasty. Sarah explains why Armie's "BDSM" fetish is really a cover for a power kink, and what he really wants is complete control over women. She explains the 90-9-1 rule that describes the breakdown of how most people behave (and how the "1" always messes it up for the rest of us). Susie talks about sports documentaries she's watched recently, and how one film about street basketball reminded her of what happens to people who go on The Challenge, and why it demonstrates how vulnerable people get exploited. Susie talks about a study that shows the way we change and shift our memories when they're traumatic, embarrassing, old, or for other reasons, and Sarah's mind is blown.

Sarah had a terrible experience dealing with some goons at a bike shop and cried on a mountain as a result. She describes the incident and how it caused her to have "feelings about the feelings." Then Susie shared a crazy story about having the police show up at her house over a CREPE. We discuss an art competition that a computer won and learn the reason architects are going into the gaming industry. Sarah explains why lonely single men are on the rise and why incels are angry with women and women's liberation. Plus, we debate whether a study on sexual satisfaction was accurate in the way it reported its findings.

Susie watched an old clip on YouTube of an actor acting strangely, and realized later that he was a literal psychopath. We discuss Shaquille O'Neal's insistence that the Earth is flat. Susie goes over a list of ADHD traits to see if Sarah can relate with them. We hear about a woman who suffered a brain injury that made her question her identity and changed her sense of humor. We discuss an actor who claims he felt "objectified" on set even though the other actors were just following a script. Sarah is mad at Trivial Pursuit. Susie's mom thinks people just go around grabbing boobs in public now. And we debate whether Susie can keep loving Larry David even though he's a Woody Allen apologist.

Sarah is already getting excited for spOoOoOoOky season and she is going to do an epic, witchy photo shoot in the forest to celebrate. All this forest talk made her think of the ways female hikers and campers get the shaft in the toilet department, and she reveals why they are stigmatized. We revisit the famous "100 tampons" incident that happened to a female astronaut and why the same crap (literally) is still a problem for women in space. Sarah describes the way climate change is revealing old crimes, relics, and mysteries. We hear why the bodies of female swimmers differ from male swimmers (and not just in the obvious ways). Sarah explains why "o-faces" are not universal, and Asians have a different approach to expressing pleasure than Westerners. And we learn about a weird new AI program that will make dead people talk.

Today begins with a hilarious story about pink jeans that neither one of us saw coming, but, boy, are we glad it did. And it made us wonder if you keep an array of jeans' sizes or just one size for every day. Susie discusses the documentary about Manti T'eo who was catfished by a trans woman and it almost ruined his life. We talk about the reasons it happened and why Manti was victim blamed. Susie's mom had an experience in a unisex bathroom that got her furious about urinals, and we need to hear your opinion on the matter. We learn about a Black couple who had their home appraised and then reappraised after removing any evidence of Blackness from the space, which resulted in a near double appraisal value. A Brainiac told us about an artist who allowed people to use various items on her body in any way they wanted, and how it devolved into a mob mentality. We discuss how that happens, and why it made them not see her as an actual person. Susie describes a new documentary on Princess Diana, and how messed up the British monarchy can be.

This episode is freaking great. There, we said it. Sarah received a letter scolding her from her neighborhood HOA and Susie thinks the HOA guy is a serial killer. We hear why a bunch of friars were eating their own poo (you know we love a good poop story). Mt. Kilimanjaro got wifi and it's not just for taking selfies, which made us wonder why the devil there isn't wifi everywhere. Which then made us talk about the Dark Web again and we clearly have no idea how anything works. We learn about a recording NASA made of a black hole and now we're convinced that hell is real. Plus, Sarah has a major beef with Kroger and the hygiene item industry for a gendered price differential she discovered on incontinence products.

Today's episode got real dark, but we still had fun (we know, we're weird). We discuss the aptly titled Trainwreck documentary about Woodstock 99, and we cannot deal with all the people swimming in shit, raping each other, and lighting things on fire. What is this, a Challenge? Anyhoo, Susie describes the new memoir by Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died, about parental abuse, child stardom, and healing. We, once again, ask shows to provide psychologists for participants, especially children. It's not that hard to be decent (*cough*MTV*cough*). Plus, we discuss the documentary about a young man who killed his neglectful and abusive father. Dead parents, abused kids. We told you it got dark, but it was a real moment of levity when we got to see Tommy Lee's dick. So there's that.

Sarah is hopped up on muscle relaxers for this episode, so that's exciting! Will she be extra jazzed up or super chilled out? We'll find out. Hear why Sarah realized she cannot let herself go without food for too long or she'll lose her mind. We learn a way to help prevent dementia, and we're thinking maybe we're sitting pretty as a result. Susie describes an interview she saw with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, and why his dementia varies depending on the situation and we are getting EMOTIONAL about it! Sarah learned about a study that measured orgasms and they found that there are three distinct types. We discuss what kind we have (and why we're not actually sure about it). Susie is pissed about people banging too much. Sarah explains why your posture can effect how quickly medicine gets absorbed into your body.

Susie's kitchen is still being renovated and she had to perform a real life "floor is lava" scenario that was a real hoot (all those Challenge shenanigans really paid off). We discuss the documentary The Most Hated Man on the Internet and how people got caught up in the cult of personality of a sociopath including one woman who lost her kids as a result. We learn why Amazon is making life easier for people with disabilities. Susie watched the Janet Jacksdon documentary and has thoughts about abuse, family relationships, and the entertainment industry. We debate whether near-death experiences are "real" and why Susie thinks people who claim to have them remind her of Jesus's apostles. Sarah reveals why she is going to pierce her own ears.

Hear one souvenir Sarah brought home from camp that she did not want. We learn new insight into Sarah's childhood that Susie cannot believe, and it remains mind-boggling that we're still learning new info about Sarah after all these years. The Miss Universe pageant has changed its rules to be more inclusive, and we discuss the new rules. Plus, Susie confesses to her history paritcipating in pageants and the reason she didn't win. Plus, we debate whether pageants are exploitative or empowering. Sarah tells us about a new art exhibit that is absolutely disgusting, and we have a theory about the artist's motivations for shocking the public. Sarah is about to throw the most hilarious party in the history of the world, and now we'll all just be praying we get an invite.

Susie talks about her birthday and why she has been very emotional about the "passage of time." We discuss Paul Newman and his gorgeousness, but also how no matter how successful you are, your kids can humble you.

Susie talks about a female journalist who had to have her skirt measured to cover the execution of a criminal.

Sarah is back from camp, everyone! And she didn't totally regret going, which is mind-boggling. In fact, I think she liked it?? We hear how it went and why she is now a Care Bear. Susie gets mad about people who keep changing their pronouns and she can't keep up. Sarah says that female characters in comic books are now drawn with boobs 300% times bigger than in 1940 (WHAT).

Hear what it was like for Sarah to rewatch Exes II with her boyfriend, and why it gave her a whole new perspective of the show. Susie discusses the Victoria's Secret documentary and how the "fantasy" they were creating was really toxic and driven by, you guessed it, the patriarchy. We learn how the suburbs are riddled with male trees, and it is having a surprising effect on our health (and it ain't good). Susie almost got into a fight at Banjo Night, of all places, and she explains what happens when she hits a breaking point. We discuss Steve Jobs's habit of "magical thinking" and how it ultimately cost him his life.

Sarah makes a very good point about parenting, and it might just seal the deal on whether she wants to have kids or not. We discuss the Britney Griner detention in Russia, and Susie is worked up about the fact that she is still there and that many female athletes have to work in Europe in the off-season just to make ends meet. Susie watched the Girls Gone Wild Exposed documentary, and it is truly disturbing. Girls Gone Wild was definitely not just a spring break romp, it is full-on porn and they didn't pay the talent, had them sign contracts under the influence, and some of them were underage. It's beyond. We discuss an interview of Michael Jackson that Susie sees in a whole new disturbing light. We discuss a new trend where people are saving the skin of their deceased loved ones to preserve their tattoos. Sarah reveals why she changed her mind about Amazon and it's hilarious.

Today we hear why Sarah loves climbing mountains when she is not on television only, and she describes how she gets through "pain tunnels" during physical exertion. We hear about a study that shows Tibetan monks might provide the answers on the genetics of celibacy. Susie reveals why she is pissed at Sarah, and let's just say it's definitely about t-rex arms. Sarah talks about an ancient inscription found where a woman gets revenge on a man by drawing a dick and calling him out. Sarah explains why there's confusion about anal sex, and changing the way we talk about it might show it's more popular than we realized.

Hear about a documentary Susie watched that made her wonder if she is ableist. The film also made Susie and Sarah have their third fight about the proper way to build a sandwich. We discuss certain common phrases that might be offensive, but we aren't sure. We learn about a unionization effort of Medieval Times's employees and Sarah thinks its the fault of divorced dads who shop at Kohl's. Sarah explains why she doesn't like "forced participation," and we realize that all those annoying ice-breakers leaders insist upon might actually be effective. Susie realizes she isn't as "sex positive" as she thought, and Sarah tries to explain why a sex doll might be a bridge to healing. For real. She said that.

Hear lots of bad news on today's show! But also laugh along with Susie who is apparently losing her mind. We somehow have a long conversation about Croakies, the sunglass strap that really made a fashion splash in the 80s and 90s. Sarah explains the opposite of deja vu, jamais vu, which is when you enter a space that is very familiar, but it feels brand new, and explains why we've all experienced it in one very realatable way. Susie talks about how playing Tetris and word games can reduce intrusive thoughts after a traumatic experience. We learn which chores make kids do better in school. Sarah describes what it's like to have ADHD, and Susie analyzes Sarah's alter ego, Tuesday's Sacrifice. Plus, we talk about pubic hair shapes, psychics, and the All-Star Challenge.

Hear Susie talk about how she's had it up to HERE with men. She says that it's hard to find out for sure that you're seen as not a fully formed person, and all the evidence points to men being the problem. Her thoughts were reinforced watching Leave No Trace about the sexual abuse of thousands of Boy Scouts. Her suspicions were again confirmed watching the Menudo documentary even though she thought it was going to be a light-hearted musical treat. We discuss the J Lo documentary chronicling her Superbowl halftime show. Sarah explains the secret to long-lasting love. Susie and Sarah plot ways to get free plastic surgery despite their better judgment. We learn about the history of smiling, and why one woman artist changed smiling forever in the 1700s.

We learn a new theory on why T-rexes have those teeny tiny arms, and it's very disturbing. Sarah shames Susie for not remembering random dinosaur facts.

We discuss how new events can make you reassess the past, and how it can make you see things in new ways.

Today we hear why Susie is fired up about the Challenge, and Sarah was re-traumatized by an episode recently. Susie gives a documentary round-up with commentary on the Beatles' Get Back, The Von Dutch Curse, and the Alanis HBO documentary. With the Alanis doc, we theorize why she disavowed the film and we speculate on what she perceived were the bad intentions of the filmmaker. Susie also explains her weird rage toward Demi Lovato who she now considers her enemy over a yogurt shop instagram post. We hear about the backlash on psychedelics and how some people experience a "trip that won't end." Sarah tells how she got "scared straight" after accidentally taking a class with a bunch of drug addicts. We hear why we have 7-day weeks and why it might have something to do with Marilu Henner.

Today's episode is more like a therapy session for Sarah, who has found herself single again. She is grappling with her dating life, whether to use dating apps, and what it's like to be single in her mid-thirties. She is even discussing a new sense that she suspects she will not ever have children. She wonders where she could meet a partner in real life, and she considers what it is that she is truly looking for in a partner. It's such an important discussion for women who want to be partnered, but aren't finding the kind of person with whom they hope to be with and possibly start a family. Susie reveals what she has learned from her month without alcohol, while Sarah reveals she broke their five year agreement to never do another shot. Plus, we reminisce about her dalliance with Theo Von, and why she's hoping to date another comedian.

Today we do not honor Hugh Hefner, but we do discuss his death, legacy, and complicated life. We converse about the "sexy" Halloween costume boon, and where we think it came from. We learn about the woman who tattooed her eyeballs, and not surprisingly something went wrong. We speculate about a woman who is apparently pooping in people's yards in the suburbs. And we get the facts straight on common misconceptions. Plus, Sarah reveals why she still snuggles her childhood stuffed animal, and we fight over whether women should have to get their husband's permission to go back to their maiden name.

We start the showing talking about Dirty 30, and how there was a controversial issue with two female cast members. We then learn about some crazy reality shows around the world, like one in Japan where they smell each other's buttholes. And we're not ok with it. Sarah tells us about a new trend in dating called pheromone parties where you choose a partner based upon their scent. We also reminisce about some all reality shows that we loved to watch like Kid Nation.

Finally, we talk to author and comedian Caitlin Brodnick, who wrote a book called Dangerous Boobies. She had the genetic mutation that made her breasts prone to cancer. She made the choice to have a double mastectomy, and we talk to her about that decision.

Today began with a discussion about an awesome house that was put on the market and went viral for all the wrong reasons (let's just say it looked like Save By The Bell's set designer lived there). Miami Vice came back to life in this house. Then Sarah talks about a crazy Hoarders episode about a woman who owned a $2.5M mansion and filled the entire thing (dozens and dozens of rooms) with stuff. We also talk about anxiety disorders, and how Sarah and some of our listeners use trivia and info they learn (sometimes from our show!) to help them cope with social settings. Hear TMI about Sarah's husband's trip to the hospital. Susie and Sarah get into a fight about the FAA's flying rules. We describe the ways technology has taken over every area of our lives (including a device to make your kids more inclined to look at your phone). We talk to Google senior marketing manager, Daniel Sieberg, who wrote an awesome book called the Digital Diet, about how we can use technology in mindful ways instead of being a slave to it.

We discuss our hilarious adventure to the MTV VMAs, and how we got tickets despite MTV desperately trying to prevent us from coming. We describe our feelings about being there knowing we could bump into cast members at any moment. And how strange it is that the cast has such a weird love/hate relationship with us. Then we move on to a recent video that shows the way we treat babies differently based upon whether we think they are male or female, and how it has long-term effects on how men and women live. We also discuss the strange phenomenon of animals evolving due to pollution in what is called industrial mutation. Susie tells the story of how she compared the Beatles to Hanson, and once she thinks about the musical masterpiece that is MMMBop she is kind of standing by this position.

Today's show focuses on some issues we've had lately with trolls--and one incident where Susie thought she had a troll and it turned out to be a big misunderstanding. We talk about an incident Sarah experience recently where she was at a party with someone with a white pride tattoo. We talk about how to handle people who have views like that, and whether you should intervene or ignore. We also talk about some cool articles we've read recently like the one in the New York Times about the Boomer generation and their tendency to be pack rats. And their kids are having to figure out what to do with all the stuff they inherit but don't actually want. Finally, we talk about a new trend in rock-n-roll where bands are getting group therapy.

Today's show is all about celebrity, and why we all have stars in our eyes. We explore the sometimes excessive tactics of the paparazzi, and how it ultimately cost Princess Diana her life. We talk about the way cellphones and the ubiquity of cameras changed the nature of celebrity forever. Plus, we discuss cyber mourning when celebrities die, and why it can feel so personal to lose someone we've never even met. We also talk with book club author, Julie Klam, who wrote The Stars in Our Eyes. She unpacks the nature of celebrity, why we want fame, and the consequences of celebrity worship.

This episode has us talking about the casting of reality shows, how they decide which people to put on the show, and what is in a "casting Bible." We then discuss fads and trends, and why Beanie Babies were such a huge cultural phenomenon. We compare that type of trend to more short-lived viral hits like fidget spinners. We discuss a recent online post by a clown who was asked by a boy to paint a butterfly on his face, but his mom said no. She made the clown paint a skull and crossbones instead. We talk about this type of sexism, and how it plays into male violence and masculinity culture in adults. Susie talks about an amazing video that describes how colors are seen in different cultures. And she talks about the business of produce, and why millennials might save rare types of fruit.

Today we are exploring the mysterious world of asexuality, and learning about excites people who claim no attraction to men or women. We also delve into the complicated issue of gender and competition. We discuss how the Olympics and other competitive organizations are dealing with gender ambiguity, fluidity, and intersex individuals. We also look at the example of Ammo on the Challenge, and how Dirty 30 handled his gender fluid identity. Plus, we talk about the curious case of Weight Watchers, how it originated, and how they are rebranding to handle the trend of "wellness" over thinness. Susie describes a recent pic she posted where people commented on her breasts, and how upsetting it was for her. Finally, we debate whether there is a difference between drinking wine, beer, or liquor biologically-speaking.

Today's show took a very female point of view. We start with a discussion about Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at knifepoint many years ago. She lived with her captors for 9 months before being rescued. We talk about why missing white women capture so much media attention. We also learn how our ovulation and menstrual cycle affects everything in our life including when and why we buy things. This same theory also might help explain why women on the Challenge end up in verbal and physical fights with each other (but why we can still blame the men ultimately). Plus, Sarah reveals why women shouldn't eat their placenta (as if we needed a reason besides the ick factor). Finally, we get totally creeped out by robots taking over the planet.

Today we talk about the popular porn searches over the years, and why they change year-to-year. We also find out (whether we like it or not) why Sarah is not into creampie videos. We hear about the horrible tale of a woman who bleached her own hair (and what Sarah thinks is the worst part of the story is absolutely not the worst part of the story). We find out about the science of ouija boards, and why they seem to actually work. Plus, we debate whether people should pay drug addicts to be sterilized to prevent unwanted pregnancies and babies who can't be cared for. Sarah also rants about how men are babies. Finally, we explore why Western astrology is being embraced in Chinese culture. Also, a bonus story about the time Sarah got a papercut on her eye!

Today we are discussing a scandal that is rocking the world of magic. Apparently a magician is trying to steal the tricks from another magician. We discuss intellectual property and patents, and why it's hard being a magician, but how we don't know what to believe. Is it all an illusion?! We also rant about whoever the asshole is that broke up a child's lemonade stand, and fined them for running a business without a license. We also talk about a viral Twitter thread about what it's like to fly as an overweight passenger. We talk about the shame, frustration, and embarrassment that comes with being a larger flyer. Plus, we learn about the "butt bump phenomenon" that makes consumers uncomfortable when they're in stores and don't have enough space. We also get the chance to talk to Danny Goldberg who wrote the book In Search of the Lost Chord, which explores the magic of the Sixties. We're wondering if we can get back to the time in history when people felt they could make a difference through peace, love, and even music.

Sarah recently watched the film "Do I Sound Gay" about the history, origins, and motivations behind the way gay men (in particular) talk. Is the "gay voice" even a thing, an affectation, or something gay folks are born with? We also discuss a recent emoji study about the way emojis act as language, and why linguistic scholars are debating their role. Plus, we talk about the English language and some funky things we never noticed. Why Disney makes their villains sound gay, and a prediction Sarah's mom made about her baby. Also, Susie has a bone to pick with Sarah.

Today's show is a mish-mash of so many topics. We start by talking about Susie's obsession with Guy Fieri's donkey sauce (this is not a double entendre). We then talk about if we were Chopped baskets what three ingredients we would be (there's wine involved). Sarah claims McDonald's warns their employees not to eat their food, and we talk about why Susie wishes should could eat it everyday. They also discuss a recent ranking of Challenge players, and Susie explains why she thinks she got ripped off. Also we talk about some crazy news we've read about that we can't believe.

This episode covers so much! We start with a discussion on the Bachelor in Paradise returning, and the reaction people have about the controversial trailer. We then discuss the disturbing allegations against R. Kelly who is supposedly keeping women hostage in a sex cult. We also debate whether Beyonce's recent released pic of her with her new twins. Some Brainiacs think it's tacky, while others think she is a goddess and think the haters are just threatened by strong black women. We weigh in on that. But the best part of the episode is when Sarah's friend spotted a man taking a life-sized doll in a wheelchair on a DATE to the movies. And he even bought her popcorn. Swear. Finally, we air grievances about people we yelled at recently.

Hear about our trapeze lesson, and why Sarah is the quintessential adrenaline junkie (and how annoying it is to Susie). We answer a query from a listener who was accused of being a racist. We offer our take on the subject of whether it's racist to support a sports team that co-ops Native American culture (e.g. Blackhawks, Braves). Plus, we hear about a woman who breastfeeds her baby WHILE SHE HAS SEX with her husband. Finally, we talk about a woman who had a botched reconstructive breast surgery after a double mastectomy, and why we're upset about how she was portrayed on reality tv.

We've been noticing a lot of cast members beefing on social media, and a lot of bullying on reality TV. Perhaps this is nothing new, but we felt there was a trend happening. We talk about the idea of "girls supporting girls," and whether we practice what we preach. We also explore the ways men and women fight differently, and why the difference is particularly pronounced on reality TV.

Toady we delve into reality TV (AGAIN!). Susie is in a fight with a producer, and she can't hold back about it any more. We discuss the most scandalous hookups on The Challenge (spoiler: Sarah makes the list several times). There's a new Challenge pregnancy cooking that we reveal. Sarah goes on and on about Southern Charm and her weird obsession with the Real Housewives franchise. But the best moment, by far, is when Sarah mistakes Al Bundy for Ted Bundy. If you have a dog, you should definitely try the WAG app we talked about in this episode, which is like the uber of dog-walking! It is awesome (and Sarah's dog Sigmund agrees). Download the app and let us know what you think of it. Use this link:

There's a theory that the worst thing a woman can do is to agree with compliment that a man offers. Sarah examines her private messages to see if she's getting hit on by men. Sarah reveals why she believes she will never be kidnapped. We discuss the unscientific theory about what happens when there are three men in a pickup truck (spoiler: catcalling).

We talk about a study that examines why Americans smile so much, and why they have broader smiles than other countries. Speaking of smiles, Susie is obsessed with an article she read about dentistry and how it represents wealth and class. It's fascinating--trust us! Sarah is obsessing over the documentary Mommy Dead & Dearest--holy smokes, this is some creepy stuff.

We get totally nerdy after Susie attended a Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk and wanted to impart all my newfound wisdom and scientific musings with the Brainiacs. We discuss the magic of the Periodic Table, the beauty of being able to ask a good question, and put our existence in the universe into perspective. In honor of our nerdiness, we asked our friend Science Mike to join us to talk about his book Finding God in the Waves. He is a super smart fella and he is also a faithful man, so he talks about how he balances his faith with his intellectualism.

This is the (allegedly) final episode in our series on The Real World. Today we are featuring an interview with a producer, who shares the crew point of view. Even though *technically* the series is on the Real World, we're allowing a lot of Challenge discussion in this show as well. We talk about whether the show is exploitative or beneficial for participants (or both). We analyze the New York Times article that describes former cast member, Preston Roberson-Charles, who was homeless for two years after his appearance. We debate whether production companies have a responsibility to provide aftercare to cast members.

This is our most informative installment in our The Real World series. We talk about what it's really like living in a Real World house. We talk about the "bat phone," how much interaction the cast can have with the crew, and why it's more like living on a TV set than in a house. Find out what happened when Sarah found a microphone installed in her bed. Hear our thoughts on the "fourth wall." Plus, we take your questions!

Today we discuss our recent outing to the Long Beach Aquarium, and how we got up close and personal with birds doing the nasty. This leads to a discussion about the literal birds and the the bees. We talk about the phrase "eskimo brothers," and find out where the term originated. Sarah describes a blackout drinking incident, and how she still practiced safe sex (and she's "sure" of it). Plus, we debate whether rape jokes can ever be funny, and whether Dave Chapelle is out of touch. We talk about the life of magicians and a great documentary on Netflix about some of them, and how bizarre their lives can be.

Today we explore some recent headlines including the outing of a transgender contestant on Survivor, and how CBS handled it. We discuss April the Giraffe and her new baby (and the webcam that broadcast it live). We talk about a recent nightmare Sarah experienced on a flight, and the United airlines scandal when a man was dragged off the airplane. We debate a recent video that Mayim Bialik posted where she said we should all stop calling women "girls." Plus, we have a conspiracy theory about the identity of Fergie's (yes, that Fergie) baby. It's a weird show, and Susie laughs till she cries, which is always fun.

Today's show is about the hit podcast, S-Town, and why it has our brains in a tizzy. S-Town explores themes of racism, sexuality, suicide, grief, greed, class, and intelligence, and it does so with an incredible knack for narrative. We discuss the details of the show as well as the ways it captured our attention.

We had so much to say about the show that started reality TV that we decided to do a second part. In this episode, we talk about what it's like to wear microphones all day, everyday. We talk about the contracts (and how we basically sign our lives away). Plus, Sarah contacts her dad for the first time in ten years to ask him a question about her show. We talk about the New York Times article that came out recently about a Real Worlder who ended up homeless.

Today we start getting real about the show that started it all. We talk about how The Real World came to be, reminisce about the early episodes, and we talk about how the show has evolved. We also interview Judd Winick who starred on the ground-breaking San Francisco season, married one of his cast mates, and became close with Pedro Zamora. We also find out what Judd is up to now, and how he is living his dream as a New York Times' best-selling author/illustrator. We didn't realize when we started this episode that we were going to do more, but after we taped it we had so much left to say. So, this is part 1 in a series about the show and how it changed TV and our lives.

Who are the people who believe the earth is flat? Why are so many NBA players in denial about us having a round planet? Today we talk about these conspiracy theorists. We talk about vaccines and people who don't believe in vaccinating their kids. We're going to get a lot of hate mail for this episode. We're dreading that, but we lack the ability to censor ourselves. We talk about Sarah's rage about Smurfette and Susie vents about McDonald's asking kids if they want a "girl" or "boy" Happy Meal. We also find out why Sarah is furious when her Yogurtland cashier gives her a pink spoon. (Oh, and we said this is episode 112, but it's not. It's 111. Sorry.)

This week we re-explore Disney, and its latest incarnations. We talk about the Beauty & the Beast live action remake with Emma Watson (and the outrage over the gay character). Sarah has a full-blown meltdown over her obsession with Moana. And we talk about how Disney is apparently bowing to criticisms over their princess culture. Can you be a feminist and love Disney? We discuss.

We're going to the chapel and talking about weddings. The horror stories, Bridezillas, and inspiring moments from our lives and from our listeners. We discuss how Sarah's brothers almost got arrested at her wedding, we talk about how families make for complicated decision-making, and Sarah says she's ready to officiate at a gay wedding if you're interested. Plus, she reveals why she HATES her wedding ring! We hear about a wedding where Susie believed the couple was going to get a divorce, why Landon rapped to Snoop Dogg at their reception, and why wine is critical at weddings (just ask Jesus).

Today we talk about the hit show of the year, This is Us, and interview the show's executive producer and director, Ken Olin. In addition to the This is Us bonanza, we have a very special co-host! Susie's sister, Gretchen joins the show to take Sarah's place while Sarah is on vacation. We talk about our obsession with This Is Us, and Ken Olin. We go over the show's first season (spoiler alert!), what we think will happen, and which characters we would be if we were on the show. Finally, Susie interviews Ken and asks what it's been like to be a part of not one, but two cultural phenomena. He was a star of 80s cult hit, thirtysomething and now works behind the camera on This Is Us.

Lions, tigers, and bears! Today we're talking animals. Sarah is obsessed with the Planet Earth documentary series (which she watches while she smokes doobies), and has now developed an affection for lemurs. We debate what animals we think we look like (and how Sarah's nose has a wing span). Plus, we have a lengthy side discussion about manic pixie dream girls and how we hate them. We debate whether pets are worth the hassle.

Today's show is all about the human body--weird things that our human shells do and that we do to ourselves. We explore butt injections and talk about "man boobs." We discuss babies that are born with full sets of teeth, why we can't recognize faces without their eyebrows, and the magic of a "princess toe." Sarah gleefully gives Susie a quiz about the human body. And we call fitness and wellness expert Brianne Wetzel to talk about women and what she recommends for when you break your diet or fall off the exercise wagon.

As you can see, this episode is a real grab bag of hilarity. We wanted to make another version of our Weird and Wacky series, so we talked about everything from drug use in Nazi Germany to the mystery of Richard Simmons' disappearance and elder abuse. Find out why Susie is Carrie Fisher's soul mate and being a celebrity's child must be really difficult. Plus, we debate whether Cameron Esposito is sexy or not. This episode is great.

We have Kameelah Phillips from the Real World Boston and is now an OB-GYN, and founder of O Baby! Maternity Consulting and Blog.

Find out why Susie had self-fulfilling prophecy and had performance anxiety with her first kiss. We talk about dating etiquette--should feminists always go "Dutch" (and why do we even call it that)? We learn about Sarah's ridiculous flower demands. Plus, Sarah had an ex-boyfriend who wore a football inside of his shirt. It's weird.

We still aren't over the election results (we're sore losers, and we know it). So we decided to discuss how we're coping (spoiler alert: it involves shopping, drinking, sulking, and eating). In the middle of our political pontification, we suddenly have a discussion about 80s sitcoms and we even pay tribute to the late great, Alan Thicke by singing the Growing Pains theme song. It's pretty special. We also decided to find out from the experts whether the election really was hacked, whether there's any hope of a Clinton upset thanks to the electoral college, and how the HELL Trump won in the first place. We have questions and we need answers! Dr. Chris Bonneau and Dr. Oliver Bateman are here to help.

We started this episode with the intention of talking about millennials and the allegation that they are self-centered. It quickly turned into, well, us being self-centered. We took quizzes to see how narcissistic we are and how empathetic we are. Let's just say the results might surprise you. Or not.

Welp. We realized there is no way we can talk about the election in a way that's even close to being fair and even-handed, so we called Susie's mom to talk about her love of Donald Trump. She has a picture of him framed in her house. She thinks he's handsome. It's weird. So, enjoy this phone call with the woman who allegedly birthed the Brain Candy's own, Susie Meister. PLUS, we talk about Laurel's recent comments about Rivals 3.
