This episode is a replay of Maggie's favorite episode from 2023, episode 53: We're Second Place! With Lacey Pittman Tomanek

Sarah here. It took a while to pick a favorite because, honestly, I love all my children - I mean podcast episodes - equally. But if I had to choose, it HAS to be episode 53: We're Second Place! With Lacey Pittman Tomanek. Come for the facts about spiders, stay for Lacey's cry-laugh-inducing story about finding a babysitter. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do.

From the original episode description:

Sarah and Maggie bring real-life bestie, Lacey Pittman Tomanek to the mic to talk about film festivals, nude photos, and other friendship memories. Spoiler: she would make a great replacement bestie!

A little about LPT:

Lacey Pittman Tomanek (LPT) is such an obvious choice as a replacement bestie. Maggie first met her back in the day working at Teach For America, and she's been a boss in the Ed Reform and nonprofit space ever since, including consulting with other leaders through her own leadership coaching business. She's also hilarious - as Sarah and Maggie know from our time improvising with her - and a top tier mom from their kewl mom social circle. 

Time stamps for easy listening:

2:03 - to pigtail or not to pigtail?

5:40 - exploding head syndrome 

11:17 - we chat with LPT 

Just the facts:

Fact: Exploding Head Syndrome causes people to hear extremely loud noises in their head just as they are falling asleep.

This episode is a replay of Maggie's favorite episode from 2023, episode 52: We're Knock-off Juicy Tracksuits!

Maggie here. I remember listening to this episode on my flight home from a summer trip with my family. I was laughing out loud on the plane, because I forgot Sarah's horrifying fact and how funny the word "parmesan" can be in a bad Russian accent. If you missed this episode the first time around, I hope you enjoy it today!

From the original episode description:

Sarah and Maggie love velour track suits - but will Maggie like the first fact Sarah is serving up? Absolutely not.

Just the facts:

Fact: In 1780, two Scottish doctors invented the prototype of the chainsaw. Not to cut down trees or clear debris. No, John Aitken and James Jeffray invented the hand-cranked chainsaw to cut through the pelvises of delivering mothers who were having trouble pushing their babies out

Fact: Experts agree that squeaky toys offer dogs a way to connect with their natural prey drive because it mimics the sound of a scared or injured animal, which immediately activates the urge to hunt.

React: what’s a sound that sets you off

Plus, a delicious Zesty Baked Ritz Crackers recipe served with a side of bad Russian accents!

Sarah and Maggie live in old houses with no closet spaces, have teeth that won’t heal themselves, are currently watching so much Bravo TV, and are stunned by this Mean Girls fact.

Just the facts: 

FACT 1: Most of the human body is capable of healing itself, except teeth. Because the enamel that coats teeth is not a living tissue, and thus incapable of self-healing.

FACT 2: Amy Poehler is only seven years older than Rachel McAdams, who played her daughter in the film MEAN GIRLS.

What do you think? Are you a collector of teeth? What are you watching on Bravo right now? Are you married to a daddy?
