Happy New Year, Brainiacs! It’s 2025 and Sarah is feeling alive and as usual she is optimistic about this year. Which means it will be a great year (or not! who knows!) We learn how listening to certain songs can reframe your memories and why you might prefer sad songs when you’re feeling blue, but…
We are reviewing our year and our successes and failures with our New Year’s Resolutions, and we’re sharing our intentions for next year. We learn about a study by Robert Sapolsky that argues that testosterone does not increase aggression, but instead emphasizes existing tendencies and encourages people to behave in socially encouraged ways that already…
🚨 Sarah is on the dating apps! 📢 And boy, does she have the scoop on what’s going on with the dating community. We find out whether the full-blown lesbians are mingling with the dabblers, what the lesbian equivalent to the fish profile pic is, and whether she is getting a lot of bites (so…
Sarah went to see Wicked, and she wants a little commotion for her ability to not sing out loud in the theater during the film. We also got a pro-tip–never get a matching tattoo with someone. If you do, your relationship is cursed according to Sarah. We learn what robot pants are, how they could…
Susie is wound up about the Yacht Rock documentary and she doesn’t care who knows it. We learn why Yacht Rock rocks (a little bit), why it has a great sense of humor, and some of her favorite tracks. We hear why hysterectomies are confusing, even to the people who’ve had them, and why it’s…
Therapist, psychic, what’s the difference? That’s what we’re asking about Sarah’s intuition, perception, and ability to read people, and it runs in the family. A political activist/novelist in Japan thinks the answer to Japan’s population growth problem involves sterilizing women. Seems like this wouldn’t solve the problem, but we do have some alternative suggestions. Sarah…
Sarah is crushing it and we celebrate what a difference a year can make. We hear why she insisted on naming all of her cats “Sam” sort of like George Foreman naming all of his kids George. We learn how the originator of the high five was discriminated against and ended up losing his job…
Sarah is thinking of going on the dating apps, and we are psyched! But we hope she doesn’t end up married to a hologram like some “performance artist” that we hate. We talk about a reality show from the aughts that had people competing for a donated kidney from a terminally ill woman that turned…
Sarah’s a happy bunny, and it’s a long time coming. We discuss the Mike Tyson v. Jake Paul fight, whether it was fixed, and why the slap should’ve tipped us off. Susie explains how his lisp, his love of pigeons, and the death of his daughter made people see him differently. We hear how the…
Sarah is navigating the wild world of homeownership and it’s a jungle. We are heartned to hear cheese helps the medicine (alcohol) go down, and think we must be the healthiest women alive. We learn about a child influencer who recently came of age and because she has been exposed to online predators etc for…
