833: Peace Boredom, Communal Tables, & Richard Simmons

Sarah says she might want to be alone forever, but will this peaceful moment be forever? Sarah explains why communal tables are back in style, but Susie is not impressed. We hear why Sarah's worst date ever involved a case of mistaken identity and dirty fingernails. Plus, did you know Sarah's had ringworm. Now you do. We mourn our quirky king and queen Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth, and explain why weirdos are the best. We discuss the gamification of, well, everything, why we always fall for it, and why capitalism is stealing the fun of actual games from us. Plus, Susie loses her mind about men who are "raw-dogging" on airplanes and "aura-maxxing" instead of being useful and helping people.

832: Googly Eyes, Elephant Names, and How to Get Your Ex Back

Susie describes two documentaries about the complexities, risks, and problems with sperm donation, and explains why some men are trying to father as many children as possible and how the mothers and babies are the ones who experience the consequences. We learn about a "protest" in Boston where people fought for the metro system to put googly eyes on buses, and the unexpected outcome they caused. Mattel is making their games color-blind accessible, so now everyone can experience the joy of screaming UNO! Susie finds out the true story of cocaine being in the original Coca-Cola recipe, how it happened, and the racist reasons for why it was removed. We hear about a documentary on the Columbine tragedy, and why the mother of one of the shooters is speaking out about mental health, parenting, and violence. We find out which player is supposedly depicted in the NBA logo, why it is controversial, and why it's still mysterious after all these years. Life coaches are getting rich consulting people on how to get their ex back, and Sarah is not happy about it. Plus, we hear why scientists think elephants call each other by name.

831: Mouse Therapy, Concert Amnesia, & Camera Regrets

We got to have a meetup in real life, and it was magical, except for a disastrous restaurant dining experience where we felt like we were on a Challenge and were force fed disgusting food. We talk about how social media is influencing the photos we take, the memories we make, and the ways it affects our lives. Sarah is trying to overcome her fear of rodents, and a breed of giant rats that scientists have trained to save lives is helping her with her phobia. We hear why Nick Cannon has insured his...family jewels, and why it might not be a bad idea. Sarah explains why some people think AI will provide prison simulations as punishment for real crimes, and we debate whether that's ethical or even possible. We discuss a phenomenon called concert amnesia that prevents people from remembering emotional experiences due to the way they affect our brains, and we're mad about it.

830: Schizophrenia, Inner Voice, & Olympics Food

Susie talks about the new docuseries, Six Schizophrenic Brothers, which is an accompaniment to the book we read in Candy Club, Pleasant Valley Road, about a family of twelve siblings in which six of them have that mental illness. We talk about how their disorder manifests, why it "scares" Susie, and what we can learn from them. We hear that a Mexican church is selling plots of land...in heaven, and why we think we might buy some. Susie describes the Celine Dion documentary, her Stiff Body Syndrome diagnosis, and why we think she has the brain of an addict. We learn about a study on "inner voices" and how not everyone has one and what it means for their brain function. We discuss the logistics of Olympic food prep, and how they can cater to 15,000 athletes and their nutritional, cultural, and personal culinary needs during their time in the Village. Susie explains the inner workings of her ear worm affliction, and how it relates to Elvis. Plus, we learn why bananas and doner kebabs are the secret to life?

829: Reality Bites, Lucy's Remains, & Phallic Flowers

Sarah is going solo camping, so she's preparing to fight man and beast by herself. We discuss how reality tv never was what it seemed and there were always interventions from producers to make the show "more interesting." And we're talking to Emily Nussbaum about her book, Cue the Sun: The Invention of Reality TV, to learn more about it all! Sarah explains a lot about the remains of Lucy, but in case you were like Susie and assumed she meant the comedic actress, you'd be wrong. She's talking about the archeological specimen. We hear why Lucy is hairless and how we know. Plus, we find out way more than we even wanted to about lice.

828: Sweet Caroline, Spice Police, & Magic Birds

Susie is still laughing about Sarah's technique for scaring off bears, but turns out, Sarah isn't wrong. We hear about the problem bear she's about to encounter at camp. We discuss how men are animals at sporting events, but also how "sports anthems" are created. We find out why Sweet Caroline, Livin on a Prayer, and Don't Stop Believing became ubiquitous at games despite having nothing to do with them. Denmark had to outlaw spicy ramen because they thought it was a public health risk, and we debate whether that was necessary. We learn about the science of illusions through the eyes of birds, why certain tricks do and don't work on birds, and why our thumbs have something to do with sleight of hand and the success of a magic trick...

827: Lost in Space, Music Chills, & World Records

Sarah is so happy to be home owner (except for all the things that break, go wrong, and cost money)! She's adulting hard today. We learn about astronauts who are stranded at the International Space Station and Sarah is probably panicking more than them or the person responsible (Elon Musk). And she explains how their situation reminds her of being on The Real World. Hear us out. We discuss "music frisson" and why some music gives us the chills, makes us cry, and affects us, and whether this has an evolutionary origin. We reminisce about our month in Brazil and why it's a reminder to "say yes" to life. Sarah celebrates a girl who circumnavigated the globe in a sailboat by herself at 14 years old, and learn the reason why Guinness World Book of Records won't give her an official title of youngest person to do that.

826: Tell Them You Love Me, Bear Attack, & Oscar Pistorius

Susie's back in the New World, and has a mysterious illness caused by a mystery creature. Her medical anomalies never stop. Sarah is back from a pirate ship adventure where she fought the law and the law won. We discuss the controversial documentary, Tell Them You Love Me, about a scholar who was working with a non-verbal, developmentally disabled man with cerebral palsy who claims they are in love despite him not being able to communicate. We learn about a bear attack in someone's home! A woman was dragged from her bed and killed by a bear who had been stalking her for months. She must not have known Sarah's "trick" for getting rid of bears that sounds suspiciously like Yogi Bear talking to his pal Boo-Boo.

825: Muppet Movie, Clam Diggers, & Bongo Justice

Sarah's breakup has gotten dirty, and Susie is livid. Thoughts and prayers to that man. We discuss the Jim Henson Idea Man documentary, the price of changing the world and what you lose if you're ambitious, and how his childhood may have had a hand in his demise. We debate a new Louisiana law that allows judges to require castration to convicted sex offenders. We hear about a woman who was fined $88,000 for accidentally collecting clams on a beach, and why we decided not too feel too badly for her. We find out about a percussionist for the SNL band who mysteriously disappears during the opening monologue, and some people want to solve the mystery and get "justice for Valerie Dee Narenjo," and it's hilarious. Plus, a man gets back at his HOA after they force him to put up a fence to hide his boat, and we love a petty neighbor.

824: Stingray Scandal, Tony Danza, & Internet in the Wild

Sarah is in the "carpentry" era of her single lifestyle, and she's whipping up a coffee table. We learn how to spot overpriced furniture. Sarah is in mourning over the "pregnant" stingray who is mysteriously not pregnant and the aquarium that thought she was is tight-lipped. We realize we need to apologize to Madonna because it turns out you can adopt a foreign accent just by visiting another country. We hear why Tony Danza is championing teachers, he needs a new publicity, and we think we love him. AI isn't as advanced as people would like to believe (but it will be the death of us all). We discuss an Amazonian tribe that got the internet, and now they're addicted to adult content, playing Candy Crush, and scrolling on social media. Plus, we learn why people are suddenly becoming nearsighted.

823: Green Flags, Zookeepers, & Dance with the Devil

Sarah wants to thank all the lesbians and allies for welcoming her back into the fold. She explains why she thinks she's following in her grandma's power lez footsteps. We hear about "green flags" women have when they're dating a guy, and we're disturbed at how low the bar is (bed sheets) and also disagree about men presenting as feminists. We discuss the TikTok dance cult where a pastor posing as an entertainment manager takes control of his church members's lives. We learn about a woman who saved a tree from loggers by living in it for two years, and why we think she could've done more to help the environment by working with legislators instead of camping in tree branches. We learn why zookeepers have the most "meaningful" jobs, and we debate whether a job is exploitative if the person doesn't believe they're being exploited.

822: Banksy Museum, What's Your Sign, & Slap Fighting

There's a new Banksy museum in New York that has not been approved by the artist, but if he were to sue them he might reveal his closely guarded anonymity, and we are delighted that someone might beat him at his own game. We discuss Kansas City Chiefs' football player Harrison Butker's commencement speech telling women to stifle ambitions, be submissive to husbands, and become mothers, and why the reaction of his coach and teammates (including Taylor Swift's man Travis Kelce) reveal how misogyny is still accepted. We celebrate the Reading Rainbow documentary and the work Levar Burton and the show did to help inspire readers across genders and races. We announce changes to the astrological calendar that might affect which horoscope sign is yours! A town in Texas tried to have the largest gathering of people with the same name, but they failed, and we have some ideas why. We hear what age becomes a person's measure of all things cool, and learn why political affiliation predicts how nostalgic you are. We learn about a new sport called slap fighting, the rules involved, and debate why men enjoy violence.

821: Serenity Prayer, Dangerous Energy, & Atomic Priesthood

You asked for personal stuff, so we're giving it to you. Hear how Sarah is dealing with the hysterectomy aftermath and accepting she won't bear children. We discuss the idea of a meritocracy and the lottery of life that can make you feel out of control. Sarah explains how futurists are planning to warn future generations about the dangers of nuclear waste. We hear how laser ray cats (???) might play a role in helping people spot dangerous energy (what?). We discuss a new trend of "friendship marriages," and Susie gets curmudgeonly (again) about polyamory and non-traditional relationships. Plus, we trash talk a celebrity child despite the fact that we are mature adults who know better than to do this.

820: Cheese Addiction, Fake Canadians, & Hug Rights

We get an update on MouseGate 2024, and hear why Sarah left it "in God's hands." Susie says snakes on an island off of Los Angeles are getting aggressive and are proving Darwin wrong. A woman went to rehab for her cheese addiction, and we hear how much she was eating, debate whether it's a real addiction, and suspect we haven't heard the last of her. A woman lived inside of a grocery store sign for one year, and Sarah thinks it shows how bad the housing market is while Susie thinks she's just a goon. Male scientists in Antarctica are as misbehaved as men elsewhere, and their female colleagues are sounding the alarm about the harassment and assaults. American hockey players develop a unique way of speaking in an effort to sound more like their teammates. Susie reveals why Carlos Mencia was accused of joke theft and cultural appropriation, and lost millions as a result while other comics are allowed to do all manor of things without consequences. One family is suing for the "right to hug" their incarcerated loved one, and we learn how prisons are making a lot of money by eliminating in-person visits in favor of video calls.

819: Mouse House, Puppy Dog Eyes, & Dinosaur Wings

It's an animal-themed episode for better or for WAY worse. Sarah reports on a new dinosaur fossil discovered in silica, which preserved its strange, patchy feathers and scaly skin, but made her wonder why the devil he had teeny tiny arms (that make the t-rex's seem like Shaq's), so she's got a theory. We have a mystery in Colorado involving a bunch of women's shoes, a fence, and a lake, and Susie thinks there was an avant garde photoshoot, but Sarah thinks there is a serial killer on the loose. We hope Susie is right. We learn why scientists were wrong about the origins of puppy dog eyes. But the real memorable moment of this episode came when Sarah had to confront one of her worst fears live on the air. If you ever wanted to hear what true terror sounds like you're in for a real treat!
