Listen Later

Would you risk your health for a slice of week-old turkey, or trust your iPhone to cure your motion sickness? This episode of dives headfirst into the quirks and questions that make everyday life so entertaining! Join Sandy and Tricia as they kick off with a playful debate on the best (and worst) email signatures—would you sign off with “You’ll never take me alive”? The duo then tackles the post-Thanksgiving dilemma: just how long can you push the limits on leftovers before you’re playing bacterial roulette? Sandy shares a Reader’s Digest tip that might just save your life: “You should not store your leftovers in aluminum foil because it could kill you. Probably not actually going to kill you. That’s kind of the extreme version of it.” The conversation spirals into hilarious family stories, with Tricia recalling, “The food was prepared and then the food set out on the counter in the serving dishes all day and people walked by and got bites all day long. I don’t recall anybody in my family ever getting food poisoning or dying from food poisoning because it sat out for a while.” But the fun doesn’t stop there! Discover the latest iPhone feature that claims to ease motion sickness—will Tricia dare to look at her phone while feeling queasy? “That goes against everything in my brain because the idea of looking at my phone in a car instantly makes me want to throw up,” she confesses, promising to try the new trick for science. The episode also features a rapid-fire round of “Care or Don’t Care,” where Sandy and Tricia debate the merits (and horrors) of fish pedicures, Christopher Columbus’s questionable mermaid sightings, and the jaw-dropping number of avocados Chipotle uses daily. “He thought that manatees were mermaids on his first journey to America and he wrote in his journal in 1493 that he saw three mermaids but wrote, ‘They’re not so beautiful as they’re said to be.’” Packed with laughter, relatable mishaps, and surprising facts, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves witty banter and real-life adventures.
