809: Disney Adults, B Movement, & Snoop Dogg's Promise

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.

808: Orthotics, Bluey, & Space Junk

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).

807: Men Behaving Badly, Hip Hop Dance, & Art Heist

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.

806: Cold Plunge, Good Grief, & Blair Witch Project

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.

805: Octopus Parents, Fun Town, & Music Ban

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...

804: Totality Awesome, Goat Custody Battle, & Conjoined Twins

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.

803: Open Toes, Jail Eclipse, & Liquid Gold

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.

802: Middle Names, Beef Yogurt, & Vegan Donuts

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.

801: New York Punching, Magical Magnet, & Nickelodeon

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.

800: Feats of Strength, Hotel Takeover, & Time Travel

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.

Susie wants to know what the Roman Empire's Roman Empire is and Sarah wants to explain why horses are big dogs.
