Sarah is watching Antiques Roadshow because, humble brag, she’s a PBS member, AND sharing facts from her first THEMED FACT EPISODE: The Edgar Allan Poe Episode

Just the facts: 

FACT 1: Edgar Allan Poe became famous for scathing reviews and critiques at the Southern Literature Messenger, and, pretty much, invented snark before venturing into his short stories and poetry.

FACT 2: The NFL team the Baltimore Ravens are named after Edgar Allan Poe’s THE RAVEN. Poe died under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore. 

Plus a Ritz Cracker recipe for deviled eggs that is delicious.

What do you think? Do you watch Antiques Roadshow, even though the internet exists? Is Edgar Allan Poe the original Perez Hilton blog? Have you ever printed out the internet? What’s the most intimidating thing about YOU?

John Cage - not to be confused with Nick Cage - made a song that makes our blood boil.

How long could you last in silence? And is it longer than 4:33 while listening to a song called 444 that is no sound and also not 4:44 long so it doesn't make any sense. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Maggie, for the second time in 48 hours, forgets Sarah does not like smoothies, but DOES remembers some fruit-filled-fun-facts!

Just the facts: 

FACT 1: Despite the rainbow of colors, all Fruit Loops have the same flavor.

FACT 2: Fruit Stripes, the colorful chewing gum with tattoos included, has been around since the 1960s. However, as of January 11, 2024, Fruit Stripes are officially a dead brand.

Plus a note from Unstable Topics (figment of their imagination) Patreon - the lunch lady from Maggie’s elementary school!

What do you think? Why does Maggie keep bringing up smoothies? Is this too much smoothie content? Do you love fruit? Was Fruit Stripes the worst gum ever made - FLAVOR WISE - but the best gum ever made MARKETING WISE? Why are the red colored artificially flavored food the best flavor always?

Maggie forgets, once again, that Sarah does not like smoothies.

But they still blend up something special with this fact about the history of blenders! Notably, the first blenders were designed only for milkshakes and malts. It wasn't until ten years later that the blades were redesigned to be strong enough to chop up fruits.

We devote this entire episode to our favorite animal fact slinging, daddy of diapers, character queen, Sallie Bowen.

We ask her hard-hitting questions like:

Sallie Bowen is a Dallas-based comedian who delights in all things freaky. Her characters are some of the most beloved people on the internet, and all her teeth are real (but does she have all of her teeth??)

Sometimes we can’t remember what we wanted to talk about if we don’t write it down, but we always remember our FACTS! Especially when they’re about flying snakes and super bowl pregnancies!

Just the facts: 

FACT 1: There are five species of venomous tree-dwelling snakes that can fly. Found in Southeast Asia, they technically glide, propelling themselves and doubling their width to soar with even more agility than flying squirrels.

FACT 2: According to the NFL, more than 100 children are conceived annually at the Super Bowl parking lot during tailgate parties.

Plus picking between two JACK games in the ultimate JACK game of JACK OFF. 

What do you think? Would you win at a game of the classic sidewalk game jacks? Do you think you could take on a flying squirrel? Do you think the NFL is making up their super bowl conception fact, or is something about the super bowl extra special for making babies? Do you understand sports culture?

You might wonder "Why would someone dive into freezing water for the International Hair Freezing Contest?" and so are we. 

Every year, so long as participants have enough hair and the weather is -20 degrees Celsius, the International Hair Freezing Contest brings people to do something really stupid.

But, in all honestly, we totally want to see this in person. Just not participate.

Season two is all about smart themes, and today's theme is SHARKS. Sarah and Maggie are definitely ready to jump the shark a la HAPPY DAYS Fonzi, and Maggie came ready with some super duper smart and enlightening shark facts.

Just the facts: 

FACT 1: Every year there are over 100 shark attacks reported and over half are unprovoked. However, there are only, on average four deaths by sharks per year because sharks are simply taste-testing people to decide if they would like to eat them.

FACT 2: Shark skin might look rubbery, but it actually feels like sandpaper because it is made up of tiny teeth-like-scales that reduce friction while swimming.

Plus a friend enemy block dissecting all the different Maggie eras. 

What do you think? Did you learn a lot about sharks? Did you watch Nick at Nite almost exclusively in your childhood? Are you really into hard-hitting podcasts on themes like… you know… sharks? Have you ever had the giggles so hard? Which Maggie would you be friends with? Was it shark Maggie? Probably Shark Maggie. Do you like the feel of rubber?
