961: Sarah's favorite Beatle, What is Aphantasia, & Death by Hypnosis Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

Susie is in the throes of Beatlemania, and she found out who Sarah's favorite Beatle is, and it's hilar (especially the reasoning). We learn about people who cannot see visual images or pictures in their mind, what conditions often correlate with the condition, and the pros and cons to having it. We hear why Susie thinks she has an auditory version of it and we discuss people who have something called "blindsight," where their eyes and brain can see things, but they aren't conscious of it, so they are ostensibly blind, but behave as if they aren't. Sarah describes a documentary about a school principal who hypnotized his students and three of them wound up dead. We discuss a nanny who was hired for a wealthy family and moved into their guest house, but when she was fired she refused to leave and invoked "squatter's rights." We debate the virtues of these strange laws that allow people to take over other people's residences.

960: Tickling Timidity, Cheaters Win, & Aileen Wournos Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Susie and Sarah are psyched about the Louvre heist especially because there was a woman involved, but Sarah's mom is not so pleased. We hear why one UFC fighter is being challenged about his use of a diabolical tactic of tickling, and we learn why it's seen as "unsportsmanlike." We debate the ethics of free diving and why some people think inhaling pure oxygen beforehand is "cheating." Susie watched the Aileen Wournos documentary, and despite being very familiar with the murderes, she still learned a lot that complicated her opinion of what happened. Finally, we debate a viral DoorDash delivery issue where a woman claimed to be "assaulted" by a customer, but believe it or not we're on his side...

959: World Record Hypocrites, Deserted Island, & the Oldest Crayon Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

We survived our live event! And better still we got to meet amazing Brainiacs and Susie got to witness Sarah embody the ghost of PeeWee Herman. It was incredible. We share how we violated one of our sacred principles when we participated in an activity we've previously railed against (we did not climb Mt. Everest). We discuss the woman who was left behind by a cruise ship on a deserted Australian island, and we debate how she died. Sarah reveals the age of the oldest crayon, but more importantly, we learn what it tells us about the human spirit. We talk about a controversial OnlyFans policy that is creating a MLM structure to the site. Sarah theorizes why costumes are getting hyperspecific, and Susie is mad about it. Plus, we learn about the female pitcher who struck out Babe Ruth, and why some people are calling foul.

Show notes

Susie and Sarah have had a busy few week's in Denver preparing for their live event, Halloween special, and if you're hearing this episode, they either survived or are coming at you from beyond the grave. Hear about their documentary viewing party of Perfect Neighbor, why it freaked them out, and why Susie is extra mad about it. We discuss a new plastic surgery technique to make your waist smaller, debate whether it's worse than breast augmentation, and learn why Susie cares so much about appearances. We find out why women are sharing their phone location with their friends, and Susie shares why she finds the practice particularly intimate.

957: AI's Revenge, Divorce Misinformation, & Essential Oils Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

We were worried we might not have anything left to talk about on the show (spoiler alert, we were wrong). We discuss the good and bad uses of AI, why it can be a better doctor than a human, why it's more dangerous than plastic, and why Sarah can't quit ChatGPT. Sarah explains why misinformation is causing more marriages than anything else. We share what our "favorite" conspiracy theories are, and why we sort of believe them. Sarah almost got struck by lightning, and why she wants people to be more careful during storms. We hear why there might be a cure for the vision issues of growing old, and we find out that essential oils actually are...essential.

956: Lesbian Love, Hinge Hack, & John Candy Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

We've got an update on the wounded hawk on Susie's property and an update on the wounded boobs in Susie's body. We hear how her second MRI went, and why she's mad as a hornet. Sarah had a breakdown about her haircut, but we cracked the case on what was really causing it. We debate what song we'd like to hear again for the first time. Susie is continuing her year of lesbian intrigue after she got hit on by a lady at a bar. We learn about the hack some people are using to beat the algorithm of dating apps that intentionally keep you from getting the people you really want for free. Susie discusses the John Candy documentary, why he was such a treasure, and how special it is when a man has a tender heart. We talk about the BTK serial killer documentary, and his relationship with his family. Plus, we welcome Chris Dalla Riva, author of Uncharted Territory: What the Numbers Tell Us About the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves, and hear what we can learn from all of the #1 hits in history.

955: MRI Panic, Cow Accents, & The Meaning of Suffering Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

Sarah AND Susie had MRIs (separately, but still), and let's just say it didn't go well. Hear them trauma bond about it. We learn that cows have accents depending on where they live, and even their mood and what they're mooing about. And we learn how we even know that. We discuss how inspired we are by the work and life of Jane Goodall, and how her legacy will live on. We talk about how there are different expectations for different circumstances and how standards change all the time and expectations affect our perceptions. We learn about a school that is limiting the number of times students can use the bathroom, and we debate whether this is a good policy or not. And Sarah reveals the difference between having an orgasm with a woman vs. having an orgasm with a man.

954: Bird Rehab, Organ Donation, & Placebo Cures Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

Sarah was nail biting sober for two years, but a reality show pushed her off the wagon. Hear why she thinks men are not ok, and why her nails are paying the price. We hear Susie's review of the extreme birding documentary, and the crazy coincidence that allowed her to have a birding experience on her property this week. We find out why we as a society were obsessed with To Catch a Predator, why it's more complicated than it seems, and why the show didn't really do any good. Susie reveals why there is a scandal in the organ donation industry, and why it is feeding into her fears about being buried alive. Plus, we learn why your meds might be placebos without you realizing it, but why that's kind of a good thing...

953: Breakfast Court, Arresting Sarah, & Extreme Birdwatching Oct 16, 2025

Show notes

Both hosts are getting an MRI soon, and now they're worried because some dude got killed by a machine recently when he wore a necklace into the MRI room. We hear what really happened today. We speculate about what we would get arrested for if we ever get arrested. Susie recounts the time she almost went to jail over breakfast, and Sarah claims she almost had to sue someone over mismatched carpet. Sarah watched an incredible documentary, and we can't believe what the topic of it is: extreme birdwatching. We learn why these birders are very competitive, strict with the rules, and are willing to spend a lot of money looking to see more species. Hear about the birding scandal that rocked their "honor system" and what they think about apps that help you identify and track birds.

952: Extreme Cleaning, Emotional Support Pets, & Numb Tattoos Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

Susie went to Oktoberfest and her brother refused to eat one of the foods because it wasn't authentic. Hear why he boycotted a sweet treat. People are getting tattoos under anesthesia, and Sarah weighs in on whether that defeats the purpose or is just good sense. We learn the tricks of the trade if you're in the extreme cleaning business, the worst stains to get out, why you should never sandblast phlegm, and the best way to clean a jail cell. We discuss a man who was kicked out of a Wal-Mart for bringing his emotional support alligator, and learn why Sarah gets real worked up about people for doing this.
