Secular Soup

This week the Amieys have an absolute blast hanging out with Nikki from the Unapologetix podcast. If you've heard the term "digital blackface" but don't quite understand the concept, this is the episode for you.

As always, this episode contains (a lot of) salty language. Consider yourself warned.

Listen to Nikki and Brently on Unapologetix!

You can also hear Brently in this week's amazing outro!

Three presidents, all Founding Fathers—John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe—died on July 4. Presidents Adams and Jefferson also died the same year, 1826; President Monroe died in 1831. Coincidence? You decide.

I mean, the title really explains it all.

The total weight of ants on earth once equaled the total weight of people.

This week the Ameiys give you a palate cleanser after last week's super bummer episode. We preview a new patron-only segment in which we read from vintage etiquette books to find out how to be better women. According to Editor Rich, it's our best episode yet! And Rich doesn't lie. Unlike that Other Rich.

In the 18th century, during the Age of Enlightenment, the adoption of etiquette was a self-conscious process for acquiring the conventions of politeness and the normative behaviours (charm, manners, demeanour) which symbolically identified the person as a genteel member of the upper class.

Time for a very special episode of Blossom. This conversation is a deep dive into the multiple types of partner abuse that both of the Amieys have dealt with. Listen with caution. Tread lightly. Please reach out for help if you need it. Here are some good resources to start with:

Is this abuse?

Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network

What is financial abuse?

What is sexual consent?

Christian Bale reportedly studied Tom Cruise’s mannerisms to prepare for his role as a serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

OMG it's 2020! The Amieys start out the decade right with a serious discussion about imposter syndrome. If you don't know what that is, it's probably because you're just not quite as smart as everyone else is.

Listen to Marissa's radio play, "Have a Very Meta Christmas!" and see if you can figure out which character Amy is. It's pretty difficult.

In Italy, people wear red underwear on New Year's Day to bring good luck all year long. The tradition dates back to medieval times.

Amy talked with Marissa Alexa Lennex-McCool about the television show, Fargo. Ris explains some hidden themes and other little things the average viewer might miss, and the gals talk about their favorite seasons, episodes, etc. It's a geeky good time.

And it will be a good companion to Ris's radio play, "Have a Very Meta Christmas," in which Ris and Amy both play epic characters and drop tons of Fargo references.

If you haven't seen all three seasons of Fargo yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???!!!! It's on Hulu!

Although he complained about it, Amy's Kid #1 is responsible for the Russian accent. Don't worry - he was compensated with a coveted chocolate orange, so we can't be accused of using child labor.

Hey Nathan, your cat is mediocre and so are you. You're better than 58th Favorite Rich though, so there's that.
