castmember

Sarah is not having a Feliz Navidad in Mejico, but we're here to bring some joy back into her holiday. She had a run in with a teenager at a show, and she gave that hooligan a very "stern talking to." She even used her scolding pointer finger, so that poor kid didn't stand a chance. Quick question, how many of any animal do you need to make a scary amount (it's three). Birds are getting drunk, and we're psyched for them, but apparently "experts" think we should stop the madness. During our recording Sarah's hair doubled in size from the humidity, just think you all should know that. Sarah says a restaurant is scamming unsuspecting women through AI, so all you daters, beware. Sarah watched the scandalous Below Deck season and has rave reviews about the way they handled a cast member who was getting aggressive and inappropriate.

We're getting life lessons from Paul Meister from beyond the grave about how to be aggressive without disaster. Sarah is having a rough start to her Mexico vacation, but we remain optimistic. Susie talks about a documentary called Bad Doctor about a surgeon who claimed to create a miracle prosthetic windpipe that he transplanted into patients, but it turned out to be a complete lie and ended up killing people. We discuss a memoir called Country of the Blind about a man who is becoming blind, and what he learned about vision, disabilities, and the way we all understand the world. Sarah talks about disabled people who ski including a special ski made for people who are paralyzed. Susie describes a Alabama mayor named Bubba who was outed for living a double life, and we debate whether the private lives of public figures should ever be exposed by journalists. Plus we hear why AI has a "hotness problem."

We know Susie thinks wisdom teeth removal is a scam, but are nightguards too? Not according to Sarah--they just need a trim. We discuss the news that using cannabis for pain management is no better than a placebo. We talk about a new method for scientific testing that is saving a lot of rabbit lives, but is still angering animal rights activists. We consider whether animals know their "names" when they are our pets or whether the abstract idea of a personal name is a human-only concept. Sarah may have done the impossible and found a group of people climbing Mt. Everest that we're ok with! A group of women is making the trek and, believe it or not, we're on board. Apparently Interstellar did more than tell the greatest cinematic story ever told, it actually is turning a profit through corn production too, but Susie can't confirm this information. And we hear about a woman who threw her food at a fast food worker, and why the judge sentencing her took a clever route in her punishment.

Susie's annoyed about all the vacations Sarah takes, and Sarah is sorry not sorry. (Susie is just jealous.) We don't really understand Susie's new/old obsession with Australia, but now we're having to try vegemite for funsies, and it is truly a wild experience. We learn why Susie thinks she's developing psychic abilities. We discuss the Love Has Won documentary about the cult of the same name that is run by a former McDonald's manager turned spiritual guru who goes by the name Mother God and who has a real taste for the booze. And we learn which dead celebrities she channels (Sarah guesses one right!). We hear about the Luna Park amusement park fire that killed several children, and how an artist and a filmmaker found out what really happened decades later. Plus, we interview Alyssa Ages, author of Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Healing of Strength about the bodybuilding and Strongman competitions, healing from a miscarriage, and why strength training is not just a men's game.

Sarah wants you to know your joke is funny and why, and we're here for it. We discuss the controversial comedy of Matt Rife, his decision to do domestic violence jokes, and his appearance on The Challenge. Just when we thought we couldn't love/hate Crocs any more, they go and do country/western styles, and completely redeem themselves (for light to moderate ranching only). Sarah is inexplicably mad at a particular shoe company and it's hilarious. Apparently it really grinds her gears when people have, and I quote, dusty feet. We also hear why she is never, we repeat, never, trying to look elegant. A restaurant is charging $50 for bad parenting, and we discuss whether we like this policy. We also hear about a restaurant whose staff is made up of people living with dementia, and why it sounds like a solution to several societal problems. There is a clay shortage, and now we're worried that there will not be a Chicken Run sequel and Shaun the Sheep might be hibernating until they invent a replacement.

We're already preparing for 2024 (probably because 2023 was such a dud). Susie recommends the new Mike Birbiglia comedy special, The Old Man and the Pool, and discusses his sleep disorder that caused him to jump out of a La Quinta window while he was sleeping. Sarah is still recovering from her Spirit Airlines experience, and wants you all to know the little she saved was not worth it. Susie found out the recipe for Cookie Monster's cookies and what the traits are that make for the most hilarious Cookie Monster binge. We learn about a service you can get where someone shows up at your funeral and tells your loved ones things you were too shy/scared/hesitant to tell them while you were alive. AND you can also hire them to collect your embarrassing, illegal, etc items so your loved ones don't have to handle your naughty possessions. We just had the 60th anniversary of the assassination of JFK and how even after all these years it is still visceral for the witnesses. We also discuss the woman who is Flo from Progressive Insurance, and how she had to trade her creative dreams and goal of getting on SNL for her job with Progressive, but she likely makes $10M per year. Plus! We interview our new BFF, comedy icon, and amazing human being, Beth Stelling, about her comedy career, her experiences performing, and her vendetta against Johnny Banana.

We discuss how we're scared after each episode to find out what we screwed up or if we offended someone. So, be gentle, people. We're sensie-wensie. We'll work on it. Anyhoo, some weirdo died and made his family have his funeral at a nightclub, and let's just say, the video footage of his grieving family semi-seductively (??) dancing around his coffin was a whole mood. Apparently enough people are kissing turtles that a warning had to be issued, so people are not ok. We have a stream of consciousness scenario where we talk about when Sarah thought she stepped in dog poo, but it turned out she just had bad breath, whether coffee makes your pee smell, and why dentists are suddenly obsessed with gum recession. We hear why polyester might be affecting your fertility levels. And bears are getting jobs at long last after years of mooching off campers and breaking into garbage cans. Sounds like raccoons ought to prepare for some hard labor too.

Susie checked something off her bucket list by seeing Jerry Seinfeld live and in the flesh even though it meant going to West Virginia and eating at a dive bar. We discuss the documentary The Greatest Reality Show Never Made about a series from the early aughts that people signed up for after quitting their jobs and leaving their homes, but it turned out to be a scam. We learn what happened and what they think of it all now. Susie talks about a woman who went to Africa to start a charity to distribute food, but things went terribly wrong after she got arrogant about her abilities. We hear about an Accident Waiting to Happen that, well, happened at the World Sauna Championships. We discuss the British bird that flew away, learned Spanish, and now has a problem with someone named Larry. Plus, we find out why Sarah was *thisclose* to being a bird lady.

Sarah saw a recent interview with her Rivals 3 partner and she would like a chance at a rebuttal. We object! We're talking about that ding-dong billionaire is trying to reverse aging again. Turns out his penis is young again, but this whole schtick is old. ChatGPT is insulting us by making the ugliest version of Sarah and Susie winning the Challenge, and we think it's a conspiracy. Susie is mad about wax museum pranks and Sarah is mad about stunts--specifically the one where Jarod Leto climbs the Empire State Building to promote his dumb band. She is also not falling for a nipplebra from Kim Kardashian. We discuss the Met Gala's new theme of Sleeping Beauties and what the delicate pieces the name refers to entail. We learn whether expensive weddings correlate with wedded bliss or not. Susie tells us what happens to pigeons (and people) when they're bored.

Is Sarah trying to talk Susie into going back on the Challenge? What in the Freaky Friday is going on here? We discuss the man who had an unusual reaction to magic mushrooms that got him arrested for the attempted murder of 80 people. We also learn that an arrest was made in the freak death of a hockey player on the ice. One thing we're all against is forced entertainment, so no singing on planes, please. Sarah almost got into fisticuffs at a comedy show, and we are here for it. Susie has had it with the viral story of the Thanksgiving texters who defied racial stereotypes and formed an unlikely friendship. We hear why some older comedians are realizing that they owe their careers to their moms. Susie said the Robbie Williams documentary made her realize how unnatural fame is. We celebrate the unsung hero of Thanksgiving (mushroom soup) and Susie loses it over Sarah's "rich people" stuffing. Plus, we find out how ancient Egyptians were working smarter not harder when they made the Sphinxes.

Susie and Sarah are getting back in the competitive spirit with an upcoming athletic event, and it is hilarious. Sarah got a new trashy luxury item and it is a guaranteed AWH. She went to a Lauryn Hill and the Fugees concert, and despite, or perhaps because of, her high hopes, she was very disappointed. A Polish alcohol company hired a new CEO that is a woman of color! Unfortunately, she is a robot. There's a huge treasure at the bottom of the ocean and a lot of people are hoping to get their hands on it. Seems like if you're willing to go to the bottom of the ocean and grab it, it should be finders keepers. But Sarah is thinking about sticking a magnet to a stick and finding some meteorites because evidently that's big business??

Sarah had her first pow day, so Susie is annoyed. We hear why Yogi Berra is an underrated baseball player with a heckuva personality. We learn why Sylvester Stallone is full of regret, and he demonstrates the torture of trying to gain the love of our parents. But at least he's got the Shakespearean writing to fall back on. Sarah tries to explain why humans are always seeking to "be enough," and why it can be so painful. Good news for snakes--some female researchers found their clitoris and got two times the fun when they found each lady snake has double the pleasure. Sarah's got a hilarious theory about why that is. We hear what ever happened to comedian Brett Butler after her sitcom was cancelled. Plus! Susie gets to talk with the director of HBO's Last Stop Larramah on how the tiny Australian town was really a microcosm of life on earth, how the people in the town remind her of life on the Challenge, and why his movie caused her to have an existential, emotional experience.

Sarah took Susie to a couple's "sound bath" in Denver, so they explain that experience and offer their thoughts on the hippity dippity, groovy vibrations. We learn about a teen who invented a soap that treats skin cancer and we're just over here podcasting like goons. Hear about the man who wanted to punish Jeff Bezos for his mistreatment of employees and came up with the perfect product to exact his revenge. We discuss the texts Jeff Bezos sent his girlfriend and the unusual pet name he used for her. Sarah explains why women's brains are affected when they are called "baby" and when they hear the word "no."

Sarah and Susie are fresh off their Denver reunion, and ready for more candy for their brains. We start with a discussion about Milli Vanilli, the lip-synching duo from the 90s, who were exposed and exiled from the charts. Susie learned a lot more details about their careers that shed some light on why they did it, why the music industry was in on it, and the vitriol that followed. We hear Susie's connection to the group. We learn about a tarantula that almost caused a car crash and Susie is mad that he's still living his best life. We discuss "siren clubs" that are happening among Pacific Islanders in New Zealand and the debate about how to handle their noisy "cultural" expressions. We hear why fire is so hard to make in CGI, and why Sarah believes the hit film, Backdraft contributes to her fear of fire to this day.

Susie wants to know why we still have "viewings" when people die, and how she finds the ritual of open caskets to be macabre and strange. Plus, how is there technology that provides AI, but no one has updated the embalming process enough to make dead people look like...alive people. Sarah explains why birdhouses might be a bad idea, and birds are experiencing the same laziness that comes from comfort that people have. A bear went to Disney World, and we are very impressed with his tour of the park. We discuss brunch culture, and the standard of providing a "bottomless" booze option, and now restaurants are trying to solve the problem of inebriated guests. Susie is blaming "wine moms" and says the idea that these are gals who are letting loose because they never get time to themselves is false. We learn about driverless taxis, and debate whether we'd want one. Susie would prefer if we automated the dental industry, hair professionals, and any place where people make small talk.

It's almost Sarah's favorite day of the year, and this episode will fit into the spooky theme. We learn about a funeral home that was really phoning it in with regards to disposal of the bodies, and despite their environmentally friendly mission, they ended up causing more mess. We learn about the inventor of the modern day bulletproof vest, who shot himself hundreds of times to test his own product. We hear about the burglary that inspired his invention and we discuss how inventors often are a little too invested (no pun intended) with their products, and how his passion probably backfired (pun intended), and possibly caused people to die. We hear the most shocking part of the Britney documentary that caused her world to "shatter," and it's kind of amazing. Susie shares why one esteemed scholar believes human beings have NO free will and everything is predetermined, and why other scholars are disturbed by his claims. We discuss the idea of "olfactory illusions," and learn why one researcher says they are not possible. Plus, we hear the history of lipstick, why it's the most "deadly" cosmetic, and how men are scared of its powers.

Susie is accidentally tracking an airplane from Pittsburgh, and we're starting to wonder if this is a security risk. Sarah would like to put out a public service announcement that disinfected and clean are two different things, and you can shove your hand sanitizer up your you-know-what. She went to Urban Outfitters recently, and found out she is old, can't wear mini-skirts, and Fiona Apple makes her cry. We hear why she claims she's only hot one week/month and she has a theory about why hot people end up with hot people. We debate the difference between being up for anything and down for anything, and we're both, that's all we know. The zoo in China is up to no good again and it's HILARIOUS. Let's just say they want to assure you they did NOT give a lion's mane a haircut why would you even think that??? Susie confesses to having a gross habit in high school, but we agreed to just think of it as a nerdy hobby instead of the nastiness it actually is. There's a new version of We Didn't Start the Fire out and Susie is sharing what should've been included, but in a strange turn of events, Sarah found out for the first time that that song is about actual historical events...

Susie went out on the town and now you're going to hear about it. A run-in with the police and war of words with an old lady at the Eagles concert? It's been a week! Sarah thinks the cure for this crazy behavior is a sound bath, so the gals planned a Colorado retreat to ease their minds. Hear their thoughts on Suzanne Somers's recent death, the reason Susie can't quit thinking about a small town in the Australian outback, and a complicated supermodel who isn't here to be your hero. We discuss the crazy Twin Flames cult that pressured people to change their genders and we learn the fascinating history of romance novels including the reason the covers are now mostly illustrated, why they've toned down the spicy stuff, and whether they're still just for white housewives. Plus, we hear why animals hate human voices and we realize we're the seagulls of the land mammal community.
