This isn't a show.  It's an apology, and not a great one at that.

It's reverse-limbo this week as we talk about pole vaulting, that most vaunted of vaulting sports!

• The fascinating episode of 99% Invisible about slot machines. We spared you from listening to us talk about it because you can hear it right from the source!
• The men's world pole vault record is 20' 1 ¾". That's crazy high!
• The men's world high jump record is 8' ½". That's also really high considering they're literally just jumping!

• The study on running vs walking that Kathryn read

Hey lazybones! Get off the couch and stop eating those snacks! Got to get to the gym and maximize your vitality and crunchulate your muscles!

This week we talk about how we don't really go to the gym very much.

• Batman Beyond, which was a show we really liked
• Wacky waving flailing inflatable tube men, the new Platonic Ideal.

Hey gang, We're tackling the mystery of Hanna Barbera cartoons, and let me tell you, it's quite a pic-a-nic.  Do you see what I did there?

This week we talk about the latest entry in the Nature's Most Terrifying Monster contest, bears. Bears are so very very scary. Stay away from bears, please.

• The woman who jumped into a polar bear enclosure at a zoo
• Bart is a kodiak bear and an actor. These pictures show how big he is. They also show him hugging a person. He is most likely about to eat that person.

We did it.  We finally tackled the big issue on everyone's lips.  Why do girls carry purses?  Unfortunately, we are only left with more questions:

• Isn't Kathryn a little old for this Tokydonkey, or whatever?
• Isn't Tim a little young for Dad jokes?`

This week we break form and talk about two, yes two, different topics - and big hefty topics at that - breakups and job interviews. Then, just to be difficult, we break that form and don't really talk about either of those topics in a breezy, short episode. Mostly, we talk about flirting and the Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

• This is the Manic Pixie Dream Girl
• Garden State, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - all movies with MPDG's of one sort or another!

This week we talk about Interior Design. The colors! The drape selection! Other topics include Flava Flav, Kathryn's complicated relationship with her mother, and Kathryn's complicated relationship with complicated relationships.

• The shelves in question (IKEA4LIFE)
• In case you missed it: This is what Leeroy Jenkins is all about
• "Flava Flav Closes Chicken Business After Four Months" - obviously we never should've taken advice from him.

This week we talk about Young Adult Novels. Should we feel bad about devouring all of The Hunger Games series in a weekend? No we should not. In fact, what are some other hooky, fun, trashy books we can devour?
