The straw that broke the squirrel in half - Florida Man Stories

It isn't often that a meme works it's way into everyday vernacular, but once in a while, when all the stars align, iconic phenomena such as The Florida Man becomes a universally known marvel. Without any context at all, you've already created an image in your head and it is an unhinged one at that. We've found some top tier Florida Man/Woman stories that are sure to reinforce that picture you've just created and as a bonus, we threw in some additional holiday hoopla from states outside of Florid...

How high do you sing when you’re inauthentic? - Wicked

Something has changed within us, something is not the same…that’s right. We’re not regular ladies anymore, we’re wicked women. Somehow we remained completely oblivious to the storyline of the musical for the entire 30 years of its existence and now, much like everyone else who has entered the universe of Oz, it is now our entire personality. Hangout while we deep dive into the history of one of the most beloved broadway musicals of all time. Beware, spoilers are somewhat included, however, this ...

Smell the flowers, blow out the candles, light your house on fire - Functional Freeze

If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to work while experiencing global agony. I don't think this is what Darwin meant when he studied survival. The bar for the "fittest" is looking pretty l...

Party foul, my teeth are everywhere - Sharing Your Scandals

It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.

I do stand by all of it, but I forget that I say some of it out loud - DYSBT

Since we have 4 more years of yelling into the abyss, we're assuming you won't mind if we go ahead and take the first 30 minutes to do a mental health check in before diving into an incredibly thorough DYSBT google doc. As much as we want to be all peepee, poopoo, hehe, haha- as people, we're not ready yet and we know some of you aren't yet either. So let's sit in those feelings for just a little bit and then let's listen to the out of context quotes that somehow didn't cancel us before today. S...

Yelling into the abyss for almost 200 years - Herstory of Victoria Woodhull

Regardless of when you listen, the day this episode goes live is election day and it isn't just any election day. Today is a day that could go down in history as the first time that the United States of America elect a woman into its highest office in the land. As we know, she isn't the first woman to run for president, but I think what might shock some of us is learning exactly when the first female was nominated to run for President of the United states. Would your shock reach new levels to kn...

That’s a big responsibility that I didn’t mean to have - 5 Year Anniversary

On this exact day, 5 years ago, we nervously hit launch on an episode titled "Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - The Salem Witch Trials," and our lives were changed forever. We always said that we would continue the podcast as long as it brought us joy, but we certainly didn't know just how much joy it would bring us. For half a decade, this hobby turned job turned passion has brought us across the country in front of thousands of our friends. It was given us opportunities to see and do ...

I can't believe I stuck my finger down my throat for that - Game Night

If you’ve ever considered making an episode a drinking game, let it be this one. We made it easy by spontaneously going down an astrology wormhole and repeatedly said the word astrocartography. We said it so much that it doesn’t feel like a real word. It also may not be a real word according to the red squiggly line that’s currently under it. Once we finished flirting with our AI spiritual guide, we cracked open a new game called Tell Me Without Telling Me and did our best to try to make cards t...

Put your candle in this jack-o-lantern - Halloween Lore

We can't confirm, but we may have set a new record with this episode. Our first full week home after tour proved to be full of life, laughter and October lagers and because of that, it took us approximately 60 minutes to get to the actual topic of this episode. We may be biased, but the first 60 are definitely worth the listen, so if you're a "skip ahead to the point" kind of listener...well, in the words of our pop princess Sabrina Carpenter, "just don't."

Zombie sea world splash zone - Oregon's Exploding Whale

We have somehow found ourselves as the honorary weird history retellers and today's tale couldn't be weirder. Seriously, this tale includes tails and they're six feet tall and exploding into the sky. You have questions? So do we. I can't promise we'll answer them all but what I can promise is that no living whales were harmed in the making of this episode.

You're seriously going to eat donuts from where the dead person was? - Best of Patreon

After being lowkey bullied on tour during meet and greets about taking a break, we succumbed to peer pressure and did not record a new episode for this week. We are unable to fully skip, so our compromise is piecing together patreon episodes from this year for you to enjoy. Shit gets weird after dark... Truly thank you for being so supportive and thoughtful. You never let us forget that we're humans who deserve rest and we don't take that for granted. Our mental and familial health are so gratef...

That was a fluke, until I did it again - Resilience

We've been called vulnerable for almost 5 years now, and for 5 years, we've said thank you and nodded like we understood what that really meant. Another word that also falls into the "just nod and smile" category? Resilience. Two weeks ago we had a conversation online that we all agreed should have been an off camera moment, however the response we received led us here to an episode we've wanted to do for years. So you think you know vulnerability and resilience? Let's talk about it. RESOURCES- ...

Good luck in court today, bestie! - Confessions

In true ladies and tangents fashion, it takes us almost 10 minutes to even say hello to all of you, but after that - we are off to the races sharing secrets you sent in! We asked for confessions, and you delivered. We shouldn't be surprised though that somehow our audience found a way to make even confessions, at times, wholesome af. Except for the one with the elephant poop....that one is missing the sweet factor, but the pettiness is definitely L&T coded! WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www....

Camp Tangents part ii is officially underway and we are officially under the weather. For whatever reason, we thought after two weeks of insanity moving, traveling, recovering- it would be a good time to sit and check in with ourselves and you. Patreon guided the conversation and Jeri ended up in tears. Let's be so for real, it was always going to go that way regardless.

Cream goes in the front, cones in the back - Weird Laws

What started as a fun fact, became an internet deep dive. We learned that there is such a thing as illegal names and the rest is history. It turns out that there are things you can name your dog that you simply cannot name a baby in America, as well as multiple other countries around the world. In addition to illegal names, there are also multiple insane laws still enforced today from sea to shining sea. We hope you enjoy these fun facts!

If it sits in front of me for too long, I’m gonna flick it - WYR

After two weeks of episodes pulling on heart strings, we decided that us as a collective could use a break in the form of a game night...unfortunately that game got delayed in the mail so Plan B it is. It's still a game, but allegedly not as hard hitting. We think it's a fun time, nonetheless!

We loved getting to choose our islands of personality in Inside Out, and we're even more excited to become even more familiar with ourselves in Inside Out 2.

Scientific studies and peer reviews be damned, tiktok says Future Faking exists and so do at least two articles that we chose to discuss in this episode and that's good enough for us.

It's almost been five years since we sat down behind a couple of microphones and started sharing our conversations with the world. Two babies have been born, weddings have been had, shows have been done, moves have happened and other recent events have occurred...It is safe to say a lot has changed, but have we? We asked our audience to send us quotes or general beliefs that we've said over the last five years and answered whether or not we back our past selves or think the two little sweeties i...

The mistake on the lake - Cleveland's 10c Beer Night

You know, we’ve tried for a really long time to go to bat for Ohio. The rest of the world calls it the armpit of the Midwest, but we call it home and it’s where our heart is…unfortunately until recently, we were unaware of just how disappointing Ohio was. In just a quick hour, we’ll explain why Ohio probably won’t ever shake the title they’ve so rightfully earned, the mistake on the lake.
