We’re bringing all the dips to this delicious episode, and it might lead to a few tears being shed. First fact: Did you know Jason Mraz is an avocado farmer for Chipotle? How do we feel about this?

Other unstable topics covered: Do you eat dinner before 7PM or are you polite in France? If you’re gluten intolerant and in Europe, can you eat bread?? And, if you had to banish queso to your blocked list, would you sob uncontrollably in a forever recorded podcast? Sarah and Maggie also decide what food celebrities would be (spoiler: George Clooney is a pineapple), and discuss whether the Library of Congress is a bunch of hoarding or a great use of government resources.

What do you think? Is queso worth crying over? Should Sarah and Maggie do a road trip to DC to look at old tin cans? Let us know!

This week the legend of Iceland’s giant child-eating cat who gobbles up children on Christmas who did not receive new clothes is uncovered and its origins are dissected by detectives Sarah and Maggie, and a fact about men not wearing underpants until the 17th century is covered in depth.

Other unstable topics covered include: An extended explainer of the show The Traitors and why everyone should be watching because it’s one of the best reality shows on television, a Goosebumps book review, superstitions we need to abandon, Jack in the Box’s presidential run, and the girls ask philosophical questions like “underwhere? underwhy? underwho?”

What do you think? Why do we even wear underwear? Do you call them underpants? Would you tell your kids to be grateful for Christmas clothes or risk being eaten by a giant cat on Christmas? Did you read Goosebumps as a kid? Have you seen The Traitors on Peacock??

This week Sarah and Maggie learn that  Norman Greenbaum wrote the 1969 hit song Spirit in the Sky in just 15 minutes and has lived solely off royalties from the chart topper ever since. His second hit, Canned Ham, was not as successful, but that doesn’t stop the girls from singing along with what they anticipate that song sounding like (spoiler: it’s a lot like Spirit in the Sky).

Other unstable topics covered include: why does Instagram hate us and how can Sarah and Maggie crack the algorithm to fix it? Plus two reality titans, Jack Osbourne and Jax Taylor, square off in a Jack Off competition, ants go marching in and they’re carrying a heavy load, and Sarah and Maggie make up a SPAM jingle that’s sure to make them one-hit-wonders.What do you think? Are 100 trillion of any small thing way cuter than 100 million? Or are you as terrified of ants as Sarah? 

Would you rather be known for one great thing, or lots of okay things?

Sarah and Maggie might struggle to remember when World War II ended, but did not struggle as much with that fact as they do trying to put on a wet bathing suit. And, they know one thing for sure: bikinis are sexy and never should have been banned. Shame on you, Pope in 1946!

Other unstable topics include: the fashion taboo of jean shorts for men, Garbage Plates from Nick Tahoe's in Rochester, New York (described in great detail! You won't want to miss this!), and a Jack Off featuring the famed fighters Jackie Chan and Jack Dempsey - which will win? You have to listen to find out.
