Why Do You Know That?

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to actor Drew Droege (@drewdroege) about the specific topic of the infamous 1989 opening number for the Academy Awards broadcast (featuring a singing Rob Lowe and Snow White in an awkward 11-minute musical...thing), along with other notable weird, wild, and stupid moments from Oscars history. Why does everyone give Marisa Tomei shit for winning? What color was Allan Carr's pool? But how do we REALLY feel about Anne Hathaway? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to actor and comedian Kale Hills (@KaleEthan) about the specific topic of performing in Christian Youth Theatre as a teen, and his role in The Chronicles of Narnia musical they produced. What's the connection between CYT and Michelle Williams? What's the juiciest theatre kid role, the Witch or Aslan the Lion? Just how holy are we talking about when it comes to MUSICAL THEATRE? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to writer and podcast host Drew Spears (@drewspurs) about the specific topic of American folklore creature The Hodag, native to Rhinelander, Wisconsin. What's our favorite version of this cryptozoological myth, the one that's super cute, or the mascot for country radio? How awful was the creator of the Hodag, local townie Eugene Shepard? What did JFK say about the fanged beast? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to comic writer Alex Firer (@AlexFirer) about the specific topic of Nintendo beloved Wario Land 2. What are the game mechanics behind this 90s classic with different endings? Are Mario and Wario related by blood? How does this overall-wearing Danny DeVito lookalike represent immigrant fathers? Did Nadia learn looming instead of video games? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to podcast host Renee Colvert (@ReneeColvert) about the specific topic of the myth of people-pleasing, co-dependency, and how this psychological minefield does more damage than good to your mental health. What are all the ways three chronic people pleasers have overcome this habit? How do we set healthy boundaries instead of apologizing? Why did Steve read every article about Inside Out? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to actor and writer Carl Tart (@DammitCARL) about the specific topic of the botched move of the NBA's Clippers from San Diego to Los Angeles, suffering for decades under the gross mismanagement of racist real estate mogul Donald Sterling. How did Blake Griffin change the game? Will Steve Ballmer change the team? Why are we talking about Like Mike? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to Corporate writer Caroline Anderson (@carolineeand) about the specific topic of the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, the oldest running marionette puppet theater in America. How did Bob Baker influence Disneyland, the Muppets, future puppeteers, LGBTQ youth, and more? Which sexy cat puppet makes us horniest? How does Dracula walk you down the aisle? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to actor Jay Pichardo (@jaypichardo) about the specific topic of the 1997 Frasier episode "Ham Radio," starring none other than Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, and the rest of the cast in this very silly half-hour of screwball comedy. What does this TV show have in common with Mary Tyler Moore? How is a radio play their downfall? What about that video of Kelsey fell down? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to producer and past guest Matt Apodaca (@mattapodaca) about the specific topic of the 2010 raunchy comedy film Jackass 3D, starring Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Magera, and the rest of the MTV Jackass gang. How does this third installment hold up? What are the best pranks and stunts? Why is it actually art, legitimately and figuratively? Let's do this again some time!

This week, Nadia and Steve talk to comedian Riley Silverman (@rileyjsilverman) about the specific topic of the problematic 80s comedy Short Circuit 2, the sequel to the first movie about the same robot. How does Riley know the entire plot of this film? Why don't we have imdb pro passwords? Why did they use a robot to dig a tunnel to steal jewels for a jewel thief co-op?! Let's do this again some time!
