Forget Friday night football and the company softball league! We’ve found the fast and furious of recreational activities. Find yourself wishing field hockey could be more dangerous…never fear, there’s Mayan fire hockey. Or perhaps you long to toss your significant other over a shoulder and run through an obstacle course. Look no further than Wife Carrying (and don’t worry, if you’ve got the muscle you can carry your man too). Make some seven layer dip and grab the nachos; we are talking about everything you never knew you wanted to know about unusual sports.

Books. Remember them? Paper and that great smell, wrapping up all those wonderful words. Amy and I dumpster dived and picked through dusty shelves for a few way-back gems. Old fairy tales, a children’s encyclopedia from 1963 (when Pluto was still a planet and we hadn’t gone to the moon), even an old cosmetology textbook. Curl up with a cuppa and we’ll read for a bit.

Also, when you listen to this episode, you might hear us calling it something completely different. Our original title was, Everything About Female Beauty Aids. But here’s the thing, the more we explored beauty, the more we realized that we’re all part of the struggle to look/be our best selves, no matter what our gender or sex. Whether it’s wearing absurd wigs or inlaying our teeth with precious stones or putting beauty marks all over our faces (thank you small pox and the 18th century), trying to look one’s best isn’t just for women — and it never has been.
