• 925: Raccoon Infestation, Museum Mishaps, & Barbara Walters
    Jul 3 2025

    Susie's mom has been ill, and now she's on the mend, but she seems to have a bigger problem on her hands--namely an infestation of raccoons INSIDE her house. We talk about the doofus who sat his buns down on a Swaroski crystal chair at a museum and destroyed it. We discuss Barbara Walters, her ambition, and why she was kind of a jerk to women despite being a trailblazer at the same time. We debate whether we should start a "chichi chat," and why showing your body off to other women can be empowering. We hear about the lifelike dolls in Brazil that are making people mad, and how the women who collect (and play with) them are mocked, yet no one thinks its weird that men have similarly infantile and strange hobbies. And Susie lists several women who might be getting lots of credit for their business acumen when really their men are pulling the strings behind the scenes.

    • 3:06 - Peg's Raccoon Invasion
    • 8:17 - Identifying poop in the wild
    • 11:30 - Moron who sat on museum chair
    • 15:33 - reviewing the chari break video

    • 29:53 - Hundreds of women meet for an online topless video "ChiChi" chat. Boobs and chatter.
    • 35:50 - Popularity grows for lifelike newborn human dolls.
    • 45:20 - Hungryroot chickpea brownie batter is our favorite
    • 48:04 - CEO sperm donor wants to leave his belongings to his 100+ kids.
    • 56:28 - The man behind Everybody Loves Lucy.

  • 924: Club Creepers, Michelin Stars, & Astroworld
    Jun 30 2025

    Susie has another new enemy this week and this time it's conflicting with her passion for oral hygiene. Sarah had to so sly vigilante justice this weekend when she saw some old creepers leering at women at the club. We discuss the Astroworld concert tragedy where ten people were crushed to death due to a lack of crowd control, poor planning, and too many people in the audience. We learn about the "right to repair" movement and how companies are being forced to provide information and parts to consumers who want to fix rather than replace their products. We talk about the history of the Michelin star system for rating restaurants, how it came to be, and why it's not as crazy as you think that it's the same company who makes tires.

  • 922: Pride & Prejudice, Grand Theft Flower, & Moon Real Estate
    Jun 23 2025

    Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she's grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we're often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah's plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground. We debate whether private companies should be allowed to "own" celestial bodies.

    Our Favorite Bits

    19:26 - Recent study finds that people might be more honest than we thought

    30:33 - "Someone's having a good time". Sarah's weird interaction at Pride.

    34:57 - Sarah's story update on the plants

  • 921: Honest Plants, Amelia Earhart Scam, & Macabre Mortician
    Jun 19 2025

    Sarah had a run-in at Home Depot where she was offered free plants, and she said no! And now she has regrets for being so honest and having integrity. Susie gives a tribute to her beloved Brian Wilson. We find out why Amelia Earhart wasn't actually a great pilot (seems like the disappearance should've tipped us off), but instead was just ahead of her time in...influencing. Susie explains how Amelia's famous flight has disturbing similarities to the Titan submersible tragedy. We learn about a woman who donated her body to science, but ended up blown to bits by the military. We hear why a funeral home was sending people remains of the strangers instead of their loved ones. We discuss an Olympian who has been kicked off the canoeing team for having an OnlyFans account and Susie thinks she should start an account for people whose kink is being insulted.

    Our Favorite Picks

    10:37 - Susie shares her love for the amazing Brian Wilson.

    18:58 - New Yorker article about Amelia Earhart

    30:11 - Man donated his mother's body to alzheimer's research, only to find out it was later sold on, and blown up!

    39:13 - Sarah's airfryer analogy

    45:15 - Olympic canoer pays for training by showing off his skin-paddle on Only Fans

    50:13 - Gen-Z and their dislike for opening a tab at the bar

    54:24 - Susie considers starting an Only Fans account

    The End... You're welcome.

  • 920: Moana Flight, Baseball Boycott, & Covid Lessons
    Jun 16 2025

    Susie and Sarah had a little reunion and they're still riding that sweet high. We're happy Susie wasn't on the flight where a little girl was allowed to take over the intercom and sing a Moana song to a non-consensual audience. Sarah tells us about a company that raised millions of dollars from investors posing as an AI tech company when really they had hundreds of people working behind the scenes manually performing tasks instead. A fan is suing the Colorado Rockies after he got hit with a ball. He thinks the team should be held accountable for being so bad that he quit paying attention and got struck by the ball as a result. We hear a list of things that we learned as a result of the Covid pandemic, and one of them involves Susie's footwear.

    14:41 - Blunt and Honest Conclusion to Giving Passengers the Mic

    19:20 - Scam AI APP Raised Millions of Dollars

  • 919: Smelly Brain, Pee Wee as Himself, & The Rehearsal
    Jun 9 2025

    Susie and Sarah are headed to a baseball game, but first Susie needs to explain the importance of safety and the precariousness of Buc Fever after a man recently fell at a game. We disuss the P Diddy sketch artist who appears to have the same talent as the recent caricaturist Sarah had, and why Sarah thinks he doesn't know how to draw people of color. We talk about the Pee Wee Herman documentary, how he came to resent the character he created, and how creativity can be a burden. Susie describes the Nathan Fielder docu-comedy series, The Rehearsal, and the way pilots could be saved through a small change in training and how the comedian is trying to save lives through updates to aviation.

  • 918: Cheers to Norm, Vigilante Justice, & Dances w/ Cranes
    Jun 5 2025

    Sarah got mixed up in a felony and for a second was going to take matters into her own hands and try to apprehend the bandit because she "loves justice." Thankfully she realized Ann Taylor Loft's Loss Prevention isn't worth fighting for. Scientists turned a spider web red, and while we want to be excited we can't figure out why we should care. We discuss our least favorite creatures and we realize Susie's hatred of stink bugs is the insect equivalent of Sarah's fear of things that scurry. We learn the connection between golf courses and a neurological disease. Sarah watched a short film about people who dress up in crane costumes and dance to help the species, and she loves it so much, but Susie can't get past the documentary's name. But the real magic happened at the end of the show when Susie found out the Cheers' actor George Wendt died, and we lose our minds about the crazy coincidence of her finding out today.
