Poor Deb has been under a cloud of despair :( Why Deb? Why???? Well, it seems she has just been so frustrated because she listens and takes in so much interesting information on this podcast that she wants to remember it all...but for some reason...she can't. So should she quit the podcast? Is she too old for this? Why is everything she learns just flying out the window? (cue the Super Hero music) It's Kris to the rescue!!!! No Deb, there are a lot of reasons why you can't retain the information...

So, yeah, this episode derails over and over yet stays on track. Deb breaks out God's #1 best seller to teach Kris about all the things we thought had come from the bible, but didn't. This was alot of fun even though there was a tragedy while recording...listen to find out what was happening!

Oops, sorry. Last week life got in the way of our fun. Anyway, did you know Prince's death is considered controversal and he may not have died the way the media reported? Well, thanks to the Simpsons the week before--Kris learned that his death may not be as simple as the media made it out to be. Come listen, learn and laugh while Kris teaches Deb about the life and death of music sensation Prince and decide for yourself what the truth is.

Well, what can we say...Kris knows Deb is seriously lacking in her knowledge of pop culture AND, although you can find this topic everywhere, Kris knows Deb will never look it up so, today Kris is covering the phenomenon known as the Simpson's Predictions!

This week we have a great discussion about Debs garage door AND she teaches Kris the correct terminolgy to use in todays world. If you are confused or just want to make sure you are respecting someone's orientation, then you need to tune in. If you are short on time, feel free to skip ahead to about the 30 minute mark :)

There is a horrific humanitarian crisis occurring in Yemen and has been for years. Kris attempts to take a complicated history as to why this war has been going on, who started it and why--and break it down so we all can understand it, kinda. There is an unprecedented amount of people starving to death, malnourished children and lack of clean water and basic medical supplies. Please listen and consider contributing to one of the organizations below. Kris then finishes the episode trying to light...

Ok, well this episode has zero to so with a moose but it is associated with our two humped friends, the camel (isn't one hump called a dromedary?) Anyway, Kris shows off her lack of knowledge once again as Deb shares what she has learned about the middle east. For Kris' sake, she doesn't delve too deep but she does leave us wanting to learn more. Join us for our last show before we take off on vacation! Don't worry, you won't miss a week...as we recorded our episodes before we left...pretty smar...

Well, we were busy busy. So. Instead of not recording we decided to play a quick let's learn together game and Kris gave Deb an easy topic to learn. Meanwhile, Deb screwed Kris over :P

Yup, time to get ready to hit the road this summer...of course at the price of gas you will probably only go to the end of your driveway but, I digress. Bring us along!!!! This episode will get you into the vacation spirit with lots and lots of advice as to what to do with your time!

If Kris would stop interrupting Deb and quite honestly if Deb would stop interruting Deb, this episode would have been done in record time. However, they couldn't control themselves and thus, the need for a two parter!

Well, let's just say we love to relive our childhood (teens anyway). We got off track so much we had to make this two episodes! Sorry! But, I think you will love Debs topic if you were a teen in the 80's. If you're of a different genre, think of it as a rambling history lesson that's not boring.
Jul 07, 2022•46 min•Season 1Ep. 20
That's Fokken right! You are getting the episode you've been waiting for! It's the story of a set of twin sister's and their amazing life. This one is for the parents, not the kids. Mature audience only please :)

Well, now its Kris' turn in the hot seat! See what on earth Deb picked for Round 2 of the Unnamed Game!

We are still in the closet, roasting, but managed to squeeze another one out!

We came up with a twist to our usual episode...we hope you like it!
Jun 09, 2022•51 min•Season 1Ep. 16
This episode is the most ridiculous episode we could ever put out. Debbie had a topic but we were so off the wall we have no idea what it was about. We hope you find our foolishness entertaining.

Did you know that the Curious George manuscript saved its owners' lives numerous times during WWII? We didn't either! Tune in for a fascinating cross-section of cartoon, wartime drama, a teddy bear of a man and woman who put the spunk in chipmunk!

Lucky 13!!! You are going to learn so much in this episode...Deb sure did! It's Kris' turn again so you know it's a long one...but super fun! Expand your knowledge of events around the world and enjoy a good chuckle with us!
May 19, 2022•1 hr 6 min•Season 1Ep. 13
What's there to say? Deb brings Kris' attention to the fact that she probably never read the books she was supposed to back in high school! Genuinely fascinating facts about a family of literary geniuses combined with gut-bursting laughter. We'll drink to that!
May 12, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Season 1Ep. 12
Kris surprised Deb with a super fun episode this week about the Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. Only in Canada! It involves a kidnapping, beer, a black rock, Pagans and peas. You know, like any good heist! And Deb just can't get enough of fish balls and barrel rollers ... nuf said! Find out why!
May 05, 2022•1 hr 3 min•Season 1Ep. 11
Grovel, happy, sad, funny? Deb takes a deep dive this week into a topic that is close to her heart. Although what could be a heavy topic, she handles it like a pro and we try to keep it light while learning a lot.
Apr 29, 2022•48 min•Season 1Ep. 10
We are not sure if today's topic is funny, horrifying or just plain informative. You be the judge! Kris tackles a tragic story coming out of a small town in Nagyrev, Hungary. An absolutely amazing true story about what happens to the poor husbands of Nagyrev when the women taste a little bit of independence!

Well, Kris dug her way out of the pillow tunnel and Deb was told to stay in the closet. Today Kris finishes up her notorious episode with the Supreme court years and lots of fun facts you may not know about this cultural icon. And .. of course .. Kris manages to find some new facts about our last episode to show Deb she was listening.
Apr 15, 2022•56 min•Season 1Ep. 8
Even though this episode has nothing to do with cooking or deforestation--we needed to call it this. Why? Well, as you all know, we are not audio engineers and we are trying every trick the Internet has to give us a better sounding podcast. This week, although the subject matter is fascinating, the audio is not...It took Kris all day and night of chopping and splicing to get this...if we went back to prehistoric times they would say, "topic, good. Audio, bad". But, we tried and definitely think ...
Apr 09, 2022•42 min•Season 1Ep. 7
Wow...thank you all so much for listening. Today, Deb will answer a burning question from a listener and Kris will tackle a topic that she is ashamed to admit she had paid no attention to! If you're listening from the U.S., you know about this notorious person, but will love hearing more. If you're not, well, you need to hear about her.
Apr 01, 2022•1 hr 12 min•Season 1Ep. 6
Deb picked a truly fascinating topic that really makes you think. The origins of the Patriarchy. How did the world's egalitarian beginnings turn into the patriarchy we know today?And also Aristotle was kind of a d!ck!Hope you enjoy!
Mar 25, 2022•59 min
Kris' gut-busting journey into the origins of St. Patrick's Day. History, unique traditions and a bit of superstition. What more do you need? You will never see the color green the same way again.
Mar 17, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Season 1Ep. 4
We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you a Kris and Deb discussion on current events. With the state of the world, we felt the Russian invasion of Ukraine was something we not only needed to learn about, but to understand the cause behind it. Although we both knew the topic this week, we did our own research in hopes of teaching each other (and you) about why this is happening and where it might be going.

Deb shares some pretty interesting information about (aboot?) her hometown Ottawa, Canada. Tarnished history? Yes. Haunted jail turned hostel? Yes. But just don't tell Deb Ottawa is boring!
