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, ...

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! conte...

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!

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 ...

700 episodes! It's pretty remarkable that we're still talking and, more importantly, you're still listening! Thank you!!!

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 ...

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'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 t...
