Our friend Rose came by to talk about the expression "When in Rome..." Whew. We talk a lot of trash  about some hard opinions in this episode- rude American tourists, Rome in general, the red line during cubs season, etc.  Rose on Instagram @msroseamer | See Rose in the CIC house team Fair Dinkum on Fridays @ 8:30

Our friend Justin (@justin_mikel) came over to discuss the quote “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” Once the word genius was explained to Ali, the conversation really got rolling. As it turns out, men have been taking credit for women’s words since at least the late 1800s. Who knew?!  Follow Justin's production company 2 East 8th (@2east8th) and check out new eps of Mind Gap podcast every Thursday! (@MindGapPodcast)

Wow wow wow episode eleven! We get together with our friend Kat (@honest.wedding) to discuss the quote "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission". We truly go on an emotional rollercoaster that only ended after we talked in circles, lost our voices, and collectively collapsed from exhaustion.

Our friend Scott “The Snack” Gantner (@hotpantsner) came over and we got into a HUGE fight about Mr. Rogers. We haven't spoken since. Before that we chatted about the origin of the saying "moderation is for cowards", the military, and mounted animal heads. Amy even got a timely surprise call from an Alabama veteran!

This week we throw conventional sayings and cliches out the window and discuss Hays Code with the brilliant Zyle Cook (@zybxrg) How in the actual hell did a big clump of rules become so pervasive, we still see their effects now, 50 years after their abolition? Maybe this riddle will give you a clue: What's white and male and loves a pulpit?

about the salad bar at Chuck E. Cheese. (w/ Maggie Winters) by Amy Jackson and Ali Barnes

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?? Yes. Yes there is.

That's right folks, a real live Doctor sat down to talk to us and all we managed to do is embarrass ourselves by referencing Grey's Anatomy multiple times.

We chat with Dr. Simona Siddall about what makes a doctor good, women being listened to in the medical field, and the dangers of time travel.

Our wonderful friend Abigail O'Sullivan joins us to discuss the quote "There are plenty of fish in the sea." We talk miracles, dudes with dogs, and the online dating class system.
