Sarah's got a Pow Report, and she is as happy as a clam. Susie wants her to start a menopausal snowboarding group. We'll see. Susie talks about Mary McGee, who was the first motorcycle racing woman and the first PERSON to race the Baha 500 solo, and how she was a trailblazer without even really trying. And how her flippant attitude about a tragedy seemed well-adjusted rather than detached, and we analyze how that could be. We debate whether the Menendez brothers deserve to be resentenced, and the strange development of true crime fandom affecting actual criminal situations. We learn about the new rules for skipping the line at Disney for people with disabilities, why some people in the disabled community are furious, and why Disney said they had to change the rules in the first place. There's a pee related mystery in Los Angeles, and Susie makes Sarah theorize about the motives of the urinator. We hear why baseball players are the only athletes who can't stop eating, and Sarah gives the best reason for why food is important to them. Plus, a dating site made it possible to mute accounts who use certain words and phrases, and we consider some of the cliches, tropes, and platitudes that should/would get your bio hidden.

Sarah returned to her Real World house and wasn't prepared for how emotional it would make her, and now she's considering why the experience brought out so many feelings. We talk about "wet dog shake," what causes it, and why some mammals have that response to certain stimuli, while others, like cats and mice, don't. We learn about dozens of monkeys who escaped from a research lab, and debate whether we're on team monkeys or team science. Either way, those monkeys are clever and free. We discuss a man who uses a medical voice board to communicate and how he modified the device to make it more personal and reflective of his identity. We consider which accents we like in the world and which grate on our nerves, and why so many people hate the sound of their own voice. Sarah explains how chocolate exposed racism within the movie industry, and how things have improved since the 70s. Plus, we discuss the Sweet Bobby documentary where a woman is catfished by someone for a decade, and we debate how someone could allow that to happen, why it could happen to anyone, and why there wasn't much punishment for the person who tricked her.

Sarah and Susie are fresh off their New York adventure, and they spent one night in their hotel room getting spooked by the Manhattan Alien Abduction documentary. Hear why we are kind of convinced that a woman was abducted, and feel bad that people question it. Susie met a man who gave himself a vasectomy (don't worry, he's a urology surgeon), and got the scoop on whether it really is as bad as men claim it is. We learn about a Strongman champion who recently died, and how he was a successful bird breeder who said the color and beauty of the fowls brought out his "gentle side." We also discuss the founder of the JanSport company and inventor of the backpack, mummy sleeping bag, and modern hiking bag, and how his innovative designs are so ubiquitous we can't imagine a world without them! We talk about new advances in the science of itching and the reasons why pain gets all the attention, while itching is understudied. Plus, we have a theory (well, Lincoln does) about why one basketball player refused to admit his actual height.

Sarah is falling in love with bacteria now that she knows they are excited for pow season too, and they get ready by packing on the pounds. We learn how Parkland survivors were given a special legal authority over the rights and licenses associated with the person who attacked them, and why more of these arrangements are ahead for survivors at long last. We talk about a study that said longevity can be increased by adding just a few minutes of movement to your day, but Susie thinks they're being a little cheeky in presenting the data. We are shocked to learn the top bagel flavor and we want to know the monsters who are ordering them. Susie remembered that her fascination with hot dogs is actually in her blood, and we are loving it. We debate how to stop elderly people from being scam victims, and why Susie has little compassion for them when they choose strangers over their only families.

Susie is over the moon after having met her lifelong inspiration and hero, musical genius Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. She can't even articulate how amazing it was, but if you ever get the chance to meet your hero, DO IT! We discuss the Martha Stewart documentary, which is amazing, and how her complicated psyche and quirky personality make for fascinating psychological viewing. We talk about the Join or Die documentary that explores why civic associations are so important and why we must get involved. Susie reveals how a Brainiac is using Brain Candy clips to teach his students about implicit bias, and we are SOOO excited about it. Who knew the NFL ate so many Uncrustables. We hear how many they're eating and Sarah's got a theory about why football players in particular have an appetite for toddler food. China is at it again with their sneaky tourist traps, and it is a hoot. We discuss an exposé on the dangers of cheerleading, why one company is lobbying against their accreditation as a sport, and how cheerleaders are being put in harm's way.

Ever think you could identify a person's religion from just looking at them? Well, apparently people can identify Mormons and we want to know what it is that makes that possible. We hear about a movement in Netherlands to turn concrete into gardens. We learn about a study on self-awareness that showed how most people are clueless about how people see them, and we learn tips on how to fix it in ourselves. We hear about Prada's new spacesuits for astronauts and Susie is jealous and Sarah has some questions about the suits's features.

Sarah is grappling with her diminished enthusiasm for sPoOoOoOoky season and the reason she's less into it these days. We hear about the women's basketball Olympic team from 1996, and how they ushered in the creation of the WNBA, and the tragedy that befell one of the gold medalists. We discuss the British game of Conker and the championship scandal that is cracking us up (pun intended). And Sarah's got a theory about what really happened... We learn about a horrific organ donation story that will make you question the whole process. We hear what European countries that are the most...romantic (horny) and why Sarah's theory about this might be wrong. We discuss the men who are dating AI robots and why they are misguided in their approach to handling their loneliness and fears of rejection. Plus, Sarah asked ChatGPT to tell her something about herself and she was brought to tears with its answer.

Sarah was feeling left out of the crazy spider bite conversation. She got one of her own, so she and Susie can be Spider Bite Besties. We hear about Sarah’s recent obsession with Love Is Blind: Habibi, and why it's so much better than the American version. We learn why elephants are evolving at a faster rate to cope with humans hunting their tusks, and Susie thinks it’s a real win for the species. A man was fined for being too spooky in a cemetery, but we’ve got some questions before we pass judgment. Sarah fills us in on the Guinness World Record holder for longest breath held underwater, which leads to a shocking discovery about Kate Winslet–as if she wasn’t impressive enough already! Plus, NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge is asking us to shift how we think about waste and come up with some new solutions. Sarah reports on the shocking brain changes in teens during COVID lockdown, but there’s one gendered aspect that doesn’t surprise us.

Susie brings a few nominees to the Darwin Awards--one is a snake influencer (?) who said anit-venom was for p*ssies who then, of course, was bit by his pet viper and the other was a man who was observing a friend drink an assisted suicide drug cocktail and then decided to take a sip for himself. We learn about a man who circumnavigated the globe on foot instead of getting a divorce and the unbelievable events that he went through for this dubious distinction. We hear about a daydreaming contest that tests whether you can remain lost in your thoughts for 90 minutes. Susie describes a couple who waited 12 years for access to Disney's Club 33 only to lose access based on what they say was a misunderstanding. Hear the incredible lengths they're going to get back in and what it's like to be a member of this exclusive club to begin with. We find out how mail is processed in Antarctica and who is sending mail there. We learn why Hope Solo was ostracized from the women's professional soccer team. And we discuss the forthcoming posthumous memoir by Lisa Marie Presley with help from her daughter Reilly Keogh, and the generational trauma of fame and addiction.

Sarah might be changing her mind about the "fun size" chocolate candy bars. We find out what you can get from coining a slogan like "Nobody lay a finger on my Butterfinger." We learn whether you can sense that somebody is staring at you and we consider why we think we're exceptions to the rule. We learn why "superhero" is a special word and why we all are superheroes in some way. Plus a woman mistook an everyday item for an animal and even took the item to a veterinarian to make sure it was ok. Adam weighs in on why he can see how this happened. Plus, we debate what five liquids we would have shoot from our fingers if given the chance, Susie explains why she's great at parties, and she is honoring her year of "wonder" with a special concert tonight.

Susie is talking about one of her favorite subjects: the foot fetish. We learn what can trigger the fetish, what the fetishists look for in a foot, and whether Susie or Sarah has more desirable feet among the community. We hear about the toxic culture of sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and bullying on The Price is Right, and why Barker's Beauties felt trapped. We discuss a medical parts company who helped a paralyzed man walk for ten years, but refused to repair his device and prevented him from walking, and how we can remedy the issues some patients have in caring for their new body parts. And we talk about the new documentary Jailbreak about a female jail warden who helped a prisoner escape after they developed a relationship, and we debate whether he really had feelings for her or whether she was used to help him get out of prison.

Sarah is obsessing over Fall fashion and not just the goth stuff; tweed and tartan too! We discuss the Mr. McMahon documentary about WWE founder Vince McMahon, the history of wrestling, and the fallout from his many lawsuits alleging sexual harassment, assault, and more. We detail how professional wrestling has many of the same elements and problems as reality tv (especially the Challenge) including the blurred line between real and fake and how everyone contains multitudes, which is why we were both impressed and repulsed by Vince McMahon's life and accomplishments. We talk about the Will & Harper documentary, and why it was different than we expected, but was a beautiful portrait of friendship, love, care, and the ways people are all the same. Susie describes a recent political scandal where a nominee for governor was found to be a prolific commenter on adult sites and message boards, and we explore what type of person is commenting on these forums in the first place and what they could possibly gain from doing so.

There was another pop-up scam that rocked the fans of Bridgerton when they showed up for what they thought was a Victorian-era dance, but got flourescent lighting, an exotic dancer, and absolutely nothing Victorian. These are a treat. Sarah demoans a marble art installation that was smashed to bits by a "performance artist" for the hell of it and ancient sketches in the dessert were destroyed by off-roaders. People are the worst. But we learn about an art concept that involves counting rice that Sarah can't quit thinking about, and we decided it is a great metaphor for so many aspects of life. Sarah turns the tables and teaches Susie about a religious phenomenon involving remote islands that experienced WWII soldiers bringing rations and other resources, but mistook them for divine beings. We learn why these groups have built a religious framework around them that still persists today.

Fall is in the air, so our resident witch is getting her caldron out and preparing for snowboarding season. Sarah is willing to sacrifice a literal finger if that means not missing another powder season. (She's unwell.) Susie tells us about a 30 for 30 called Stolen Gold about an intellectually disabled paralympic basketball team that won the gold by having almost the entire team fake the disability. We learn how it affected the lives of the people who won fair and square. We discuss the complexities of "fairness" in sports and the consequences it has for trans athletes (such as the athlete in the documentary Mack Wrestles). We talk about a woman who donated her body to science to create a legacy, but then placed a list of demands on the scientists for 15 years. Susie describes the documentary The Contestant about a Japanese reality tv show that tortured its star for 15 months and humiliated him in front of the country of Japan. Plus, an athlete who was injured due to a "hefty sneeze" inspired us to learn about some other surprising injuries endured by athletes.

Sarah is living out her Bob's Burgers fantasies. Susie's still trying to do a pull-up, but we found research that shows she might never meet her goal! We debate whether kids should have their phones in school, and our opinions will probably surprise you. We learn why people who use prosthetics are frustrated with the way companies make their products and how it affects their autonomy. Sarah describes a trend on TikTok where people are exoticizing and romanticizing office jobs, and she says she welcomes the trend of normalizing 9-5 work. We talk about the Ryan Murphy Monster series that recreates the Lyle and Erik Menendez brothers true crime story, and why she questions Murphy's motives as well as the defense of the brothers for their crime. We discuss Kim Kardashian's work for prisoners's rights and criminal justice reform, but wonder about the timing of her recent visit with the Menendez brothers given her proximity to Murphy. And we learn why the game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk.

Sarah is trying to take care of her poor hurt finger, and is hoping it leads to something amazing, but that amazing thing will not be sex with a man if she has anything to say about it. Susie explains why pennies should be eradicated, why we keep making money that no one wants or needs, why the "penny lobby" is trying to keep the dream alive, and what it will take to end our collective nightmare. We hear why people in Spain are trolling grocery stores looking to hook-up, the stores have to hide their pineapples as a result, and Susie wants to know why these people don't go to bars like normal people. We discuss what happens when you die, and we debate whether animals will have the same fate as humans. Susie gets all wound up about a small religion and explains why there are only two members left in the world.

We got an update on the serial pooper, and we were way off OR WERE WE??? We learn how an ingredient in Doritos can change the skin of mice and we debate the order of Doritos flavors over time. Sarah reveals some fun facts about the brain, the reasons some people are shy (and Susie ought to be more compassionate about shyness!), and what causes brain freeze/frozen throat. Sarah watched a documentary about tablescaping competitions and explains the types of people who might get into such an odd hobby (sport??). We find out that all the hype about the magical longevity of the Blue Zones is more likely due to corruption, poor record-keeping, and deception. We learn why you should be eating at more restaurants with 2-star reviews. And Susie shares why she had to go "Karen" on a Chipotle cashier.

Sarah's getting some new wheels, and let's just say she's probably going to make a lot of lesbian friends thanks to her vehicle. Susie is still trying to successfully do one pull-up, and has a message for anyone working towards a goal. Plus, she reports back about her experience with her colonoscopy alternative and the hilarious instructions she got about collecting her...specimen. We discuss a documentary about a man who caught a foul ball at a Cubs game and it almost ruined his life. We talk about the person who got a croissant lamp from Temu that was made of an actual croissant. A man had a Lego brick stuck up his nose for 26 years (unbeknownst to him!), and we hear how he got it out and why in the world he didn't know all this time. We learn about the latest museum calamity where a little boy broke a vase from the Bronze Age.

Sarah is nursing her finger back to health, but believes the injury will bring something good into her life (optimistic as ever). She talks about the Behind the Mask docuseries, which examines the people who are team mascots. Sarah is reading the Feather Thief for Candy Club, and is thinking about people who collect animal parts and how these natural items become valuable and sought after. We find out how the cost of your wedding can predict the likelihood of divorce. Turns out Susie's theory about last names, officially known as "nominative determinism" might not be true (impossible!), but we think it's truth-y, so it's fine.

Sarah is on a hilarity roll, and we're here for it, but she's going to need some humor to get through her water polo (for seniors) injury. Hopefully her new hot doctor will make her feel better. We discuss the ending of Chimp Crazy, and the wild ways people cope with trauma, loss of identity, and a search for meaning. We talk about the latest serial pooper running loose, and the reasons Sarah thinks he is justified (!) in his targeted defecation despite the fact that Sarah does not know his motives. We learn what Americans want to "kill" based on Google analytics, and why it illuminates a fundamental truth about psychological behavior and our "wise minds." Susie watched the 30 for 30 documentary, False Positive, about track and field star Butch Reynolds. He was told he tested positive for steroids, was banned from the sport, and lost all of his sponsors, but the lab had made an error. We hear what happened after his name was cleared, and discuss the ways people can cope with injustice. Susie is mad about blue balls again, so we discuss this (made up) affliction and why some women claim they've had it too (despite being ball-less).
