Susie describes why the man who popularized climbing Everest claims he never meant to do that, why he thinks people should climb in a different way, and why it’s much easier to scale the highest mountain now than a few years ago. We find out what Sarah thinks is the number one horror film ever…
Sarah and Susie are disturbed by the Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise, and we reminisce about our introduction to the virus thanks to Susie’s (unofficial) work on the Gene Hackman investigation. Sarah learned about a collaboration between Prego pasta sauce (??) and Story Corps that will allow you to record family conversations to preserve oral…
Sarah is embracing her Spanish language learning, but she can only speak it with a deep, Buzz Lightyear voice, and we love it. Susie watched the Dark Wizard HBO docuseries about extreme sporting pioneer, free solo climber, and base-jumping enthusiast, Dean Potter, and we discuss why this is a hate-watch for us, how men will…
Susie watched the Hulk Hogan documentary, and explains why he reminds her of Johnny Bananas, why he is not the hero we hoped for, and the physical pain of being a “fake” wrestler. We learn about a scandal in the equestrian community where a horsegirl was shot by a trainer, and how, despite the odds,…
Sarah is getting excited for her farming future since she’s decided to pivot away from snow (since there doesn’t appear to be any in Denver anymore). We are comparing notes about the ridiculous pick-up lines we’ve heard recently, and Susie’s theory that men are getting worse at lines designed to flirt. Susie is still trying…
We have been threatening to be matchmakers with a listener for years, but we finally think we found the right candidate to set up on dates. Loyal Brainiac, Sarah’s iPad, is going to be the perfect gal to set up. She’s smart, funny, pretty, and nice, and we need you all to help us find…
Sarah is back from living that pura vida in Costa Rica. She had an incredible horse girl experience and now she’s back to regular life. Susie is encouraging everyone to come up with a list of non-negotiables like she has with her “five W’s.” We’re still working on Sarah’s list, but it probably includes pot.…
We completed the bit of Susie not watching Interstellar, and now we’re hearing Sooz Review of the film. Sarah is still emotionally recovering from it. It was emotional! So we’re getting existential, philosophical, and galactic! We hear why humans are the only animals with chins, and it turns out it’s kinda wacky. We find out…
Sarah got an invite to attend the Enhanced Games (the competitive sports where anything goes in terms of performance enhancement). We find out how a crime was recently solved thanks to the nerdy expertise of a botanist. We hear why the Boston and Southern accents might become obsolete, and we’re pretty sad about it. We…
We are loving season two of Jury Duty, Company Retreat, and we talk about how the show does an amazing job at casting their unsuspecting foils. Susie has an update on the anal bead scandal that rocked the chess world, and why it turns out the rumor has an unlikely origin. We celebrate the incredible…
We did it! 1,000 episodes! Today we celebrate our achievement by talking about a scandal on Mt. Everest where we don’t even know who the villain is. We find out what an everyday superpower is and we discuss what ours are. We learn about the woman who created the star categorization system that is still…
Sarah won’t quit talking about horses, and her love for them, but she explains why it turns out, we’re not really meant to ride them. We hear about the quadruple amputee who is accused of committing murder, but wait, there’s more, he’s also a cornhole champion. He’s full of surprises! Susie hooked on bowling ever…
