Everything is Hilarious is a podcast, where we pick a prompt- and both research a respective part of that prompt to share with each other,

Part one is a Lisa lead episode! She discusses an important person who was first ridiculed for their ideas. Join us while we go back in time and discuss the simple art of handwashing and why it wasn't always the cool thing to do.

Lisa and Lacey share what they picked with the prompt: Into the Forest

We discuss Eerie Forest phenomena and People that may or may not talk to trees. Join us to see what we picked.

Today's prompt, "Life Imitates Art", was provided by listener Holly!

Lacey and Lisa both describe the phenomenon, but their understanding of it is....opposite. We discuss hostile vs helpful architecture, IKEA (hostile..fer sure), some racist jerk, and Andy Warhola. If there's one thing L-squared agree on, it's that life imitates something hilarious every. damn. day.

This episode, Lisa keeps it short and sweet with a report on the history of Conversation Hearts. Lacey dives into the darker side of love with her stories, with added pallet cleansers for good measure.

Lacey and Lisa get * hysterical *as they rant about the patriarchy and Lacey reports on the history of fun-time toys.
