flappity flap podcast

Brandon and Sarah share their awe and admiration for the Englishman, Joby Pool, who stole a truck full of Cadbury Creme Eggs and almost got away with it. We just wish he’d picked a different candy. I mean, seriously. Those things are nasty.

Brandon and Sarah talk about two, count ‘em, TWO! recent stories of elderly people being erroneously declared dead by their care facilities and sent to funeral homes before the mistakes were discovered. And how the heck does a kid order $1,000 of food on Grubhub before his parents figure out the pile of takeout on their front porch is not from a charitable neighbor?!

Brandon and Sarah advise against the abuse of food service staff while marveling that the recently poisoned Taco Bell patron in Colorado is still alive after rat poison mysteriously made its way into his burrito.

And holy crap, it's our 100th episode! That's about all the celebrating we're gonna do.

Brandon and Sarah rave about Episode 1 of “The Last of Us,” the new series on HBO, adapted from one of the most awesome videogames ever. If you aren’t a fan of the game or show before you listen, we hope you will be by the end!

Brandon and Sarah have fun with some weird Reddit prompts, Brandon almost quits the podcast, and they find out that Brandon would [kind of] love Sarah even if she turned into a worm.

Brandon and Sarah mock an online article giving stupid marital advice, and provide their own [possibly flawed] advice about how to keep a relationship crème fraîche and out of divorce court.

Brandon and Sarah finish off the spoopy movie season by reviewing “IT” Chapters 1 and 2 and “It Follows.” One has clowns, one has bewbs, both have scares.

*SPOILERS!!

Brandon and Sarah watched “Hereditary,” and it was possibly the most tense experience they’ve ever had. Listen to them process, process, process, and relive the horrifying experience together.

*SPOILERS!!

Brandon and Sarah speculate whether the late, great Alan Rickman (aka Professor Snape aka Hans Gruber) would have really wanted his diaries published, and how it affects those left behind. Is it just a money grab? Will we ever know for sure?

Brandon and Sarah finish their list of weird presidents. This time, the list includes lucky carnations, inauguration speeches turned deadly, presidential fat shaming, possum eating, and unhealthy obsessions with pets, to name just a few. What an unexpectedly wild ride it’s been!

Brandon and Sarah find a troubling conspiracy theory on Twitter about the Queen’s death and run it through their own patented testing process. It checks out. Sarah watched “Holes” with Shia LaBeouf and wished she hadn’t. In the process, however, she did discover an interesting new phenomenon she calls “cringe chills.”

Brandon and Sarah talk about the next Indiana Jones movie coming out in 2023. Sarah revisits the trauma of “Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.” To wrap things up, they marvel at an imbecile cop in Florida who thought he could buy a grope of a minor with half a sandwich.

Correction for Sarah: Harrison Ford is 80!

Brandon and Sarah talk about the bathroom carnage caused by Ballpark Beef Franks, and Brandon gives an unprecedented amount of detail from his experience. (Seriously, if you know him, you know he doesn’t talk poop, so it must have been BAD.)

WARNING! Explicit bathroom content. Do not eat immediately before, during, or after listening to this episode.

Brandon and Sarah talk about Sarah’s recent dentist visit, which she barely survived; they revisit a favorite topic, morning wake-up farts, which explains Brandon’s new nickname; and Brandon describes how he was blocked by a not-even-client-yet who he may have been just a little bit rude to.

Brandon and Sarah (aka “Shnozzles and no nose holes, the show” - thank you, Creep Dimensions), share their terrifying experience with a Minecraft mob they haven’t encountered before, known as The Warden. Brandon also describes some Diablo moments that caused him to “snap.”

Warning: Minor Spoiler!

Brandon and Sarah talk about their horrible skunk experience with Charlie the poochidingus, and then review the scary movies they’ve been watching while on hiatus at Mum’s house.

Warning: SPOILERS!

Brandon and Sarah make fun of a new proposed law giving Spaniards extra days off work for their periods. Can’t they just use their siesta time for that?

Brandon and Sarah risk some hate by sharing their unpopular opinions. Bands, food, movies - nothing’s off the table. We’d love to hear yours!

Brandon and Sarah talk about the careers that experience the most emotional drain, after Sarah realizes she just laid an emotional dookie on her favorite hairdresser. Sarah discovers the magical effect Costco blueberry muffins have on her digestive system, much to Brandon’s dismay.

(Sorry we’ve been away so long. Living out of suitcases at Mum’s house with 3 dogs and a squawking mini-parrot have made recording a bit challenging.)

Brandon and Sarah talk about the Arizona priest who made thousands of baptism boo-boos, sending countless innocent bebes to HELL. . .or at least limbo or something.

(Apologies for possible sporadic episodes over the next couple of months. We’re in our own hell at the moment, prepping for the sale of our house and then out-of-state move.)
