Ellie and Scott welcome their first returning guest – and longtime friend! – Tommy Dewey back to the show to discuss his love of Short-Lived Obsessions. From Arctic Adventures to English Titles of Nobility, Tommy takes us on a tour of some of the things he’s been obsessed with… for two weeks or less. Ellie and Scott share some of their own mini-obsessions and discuss why they so often burn out. Is it because we have an insatiable curiosity about this wonderful world of ours? Or a crippling fear of commitment?!

Everyone goes to elementary school — and Ellie and Scott love it! They talk about their favorite memories of 20th-century schooling, from Lunchables to tater tots, as well as their thoughts on the modern elementary school experience.

2024 was full of movies — as were the 140+ years prior, because film sure has been around for a long time. Ellie and Scott talk about the best movies they watched in 2024, even if those movies weren’t released in 2024, which means Scott reaches back only slightly to the summer for some Glen Powell, while Ellie takes full advantage of the freedom and brings one from 1936. Hey, some plots just stay relevant.

Scheduled hang outs? Impossible. FaceTime? Too much chin. In the eyes of comedian and writer Jo Firestone, the spontaneous phone call is where it’s at. Ellie and Scott may be skeptical of this particular form of communication, but after laying out all the positives, Jo might now have two new people she can catch up with while driving home from Burger King.

Please note: Ellie, Scott, and Jo recorded this episode before the Los Angeles wildfires began. Their hearts are with the rest of their LA community.

Sam Sanders has been a steady, calming fixture in the public radio world for the better half of a decade. So why does he always seem to be in a hurry? Where, you might ask, is he always speeding off to? Well, just about anywhere, as long as he’s doing it in a nice car. Sam takes Ellie and Scott back to his automobile origins in his mom’s green Mercedes, gives them a peek at the (more economical) car he drives these days, and tallies up all the speeding tickets he accrued in between.

This week we’re bringing you one of the shows we love: Add to Cart! Join the hosts of Add to Cart, comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Each week, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. 

It’s a podcast family get-together this week, as the Aunties are joined by Samantha Bee, host of Choice Words on the Lemonada Media network. The comedic powerhouse tells Ku and Su about her bread-making era that wasn’t, swimsuits that are a community hazard, and eye health. She also talks about her The RealReal loves and losses, because nothing hits harder than a purchase that could’ve been.

It’s that time of year: the time when people take big, synchronous breaks from work. So here’s something to help you relax while Ellie and Scott relax, too. In this episode, they each share their favorite holiday movies with each other. They learn a whole lot about what the other finds fun — and how differently one can define “Christmas movie”.

There’ll be presents for boasting

and strangers for roasting

including someone you might know

There’ll be grocery store stories

don’t fret — nothing gory

just classic December “oh no”s!

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year! 

With Scott and with Ellie, 

and laughs from the belly

to wrap up your year! 

It's the best ep-isode — one filled with cheer!

Someone let Ben Affleck’s and Jeremy Renner’s publicists know: comedian Ego Nwodim might be giving you a run for your money. Ego exudes love for not only the 2010 Boston-based crime drama The Town, but for its relationships, storyline, New England accents, and the physique of one Doug MacRay — and by the end of this conversation with Ellie and Scott, she’s not the only one.

Every once in a while, Ellie gets to share her (singular) interest — running — with someone else. And this week, Randall Park is fresh off his first marathon. The actor and lifelong runner talks with Ellie and Scott about motivation and the lies you get told about how close you are to the end. He might even share his finish time… as well as what he really thinks about cast iron pans.
