Flappity Flap

Brandon and Sarah delve a little bit into politics before depressing themselves, then move onto other various and sundry topics, before ending with probably far too many “would you rathers.”

Brandon was out of town, so no new episode this week. Instead, we hope you'll enjoy our 4th Highlights Reel. A new episode will be out next week!

Brandon and Sarah talk about inconvenient erections, weird song lyrics about cheating, how waffles should be eaten, the awfulness of Yoko Ono, and frickin’ ridiculous Gucci attire and accessories you should NEVER buy.

Brandon and Sarah talk about random, weird, and outrageous deaths, and try not to come across as terrible people in the process.

*Sorry about the late release - we were victims of a PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) which meant no power on our editing day.

Thanks for your patience assuming you had some!

Brandon and Sarah talk about squirrel alarm clocks and Sarah’s weird OCD that almost made a family dinner awkward, they briefly get distracted by hippo nipples (otherwise known as "hipples"), and finally, they try to understand why people anthropomorphize animals and even inanimate objects (cars, boats, typewriters).

Brandon and Sarah speculate in a less than informed manner about whether monkeys and apes could still evolve in the shrinking, remote, wild places of the world. They also discuss and partially review “The Haunting of Bly Manor” (SOME SPOILERS!), and generally rip on shows that drag on for far too long. Finally, they wrap things up with some delightfully scarring facts about the reproductive habits of certain freaky creatures.

• Correction to Sarah’s horrible recollection (to be fair, she was just a teenager when she read the book and saw the movie): The gorillas in Michael Crichton’s “Congo” were not “evolved,” but were instead highly aggressive gorilla/chimpanzee/human hybrids, bred by the ancient inhabitants of the nearby lost city, Zinj, and were white, bordering on having albinism

Brandon and Sarah watched “Sleepless in Seattle” 27 years after it was released. They give their take on whether it has held up over time or smells a bit moldy. But before that, they talk about gross spiders (again) and some other weird bugs, AND share about their exciting first experience guesting on another show, “Why Do We Have a Podcast,” with hosts Ant and Mike! It was great fun, and only a little bit nerve-racking. The guys were super nice and made us feel right at home. We hope you give it a listen when it’s released later this week (Google Podcasts link below).

Brandon and Sarah talk about the toys they desperately wanted as kids, Sarah barely tolerates Brandon's various bodily functions/malfunctions, and they compare corporal punishment they received as children (hint: a lot of wooden spoon talk).

Brandon and Sarah talk about when kids TV shows cross the line into highly adult territory, sneaking grown-up jokes and innuendos past the censors. They share hilarious - and downright shocking - examples from cartoons and live action kids shows, some of which are VERY surprising!

Brandon and Sarah explore inmates' final meals on death row - the weird and the scrumptious - throughout the years and across the globe, and talk about their own choices for final comestibles of the condemned.

They also touch on Sarah's Halo rage, seriously atomic wedgies, how NOT to consume Advil gel capsules, and Brandon's recent clever and hilarious animations, including his latest Flappity Flap animation depicting the hosts as [shudder] clowns.

(Please forgive the unusually subdued tone of this episode - we had to record late due to Sarah working OT this weekend, and her mom/our roommate was asleep!)
