Chris and Lis dive into some New jersey folklore and learn about the New Jersey Devil (the Leeds Devil) and its alleged sightings. Also discussed: is it reasonable that Harry Potter is the last one to figure out that Professor Lupin's a werewolf? And: remember when Hillary Duff ended homophobia?
In this episode inspired by the Netflix documentary Misha and the Wolves, Chris and Lis decipher what is really going psychologically for Wolf girls and pathological liars (they do overlap in the case of Misha Defonseca's famous scam but not generally). They also discuss an all too frequently overlooked question: are bedroom closets too mature for children?
In this shorty of an episode, Chris and Lis riff on the life of Pythagoras, an ancient Greek with a strikingly similar origin story to that of Jesus of Nazareth. Very much unlike Jesus, however, Pythagoras's believes included odd obsessions with numbers, triangles, and of course, beans.
Chris and Lis are joined by a special guest: Andrew. They discuss economist Carlo Cipolla's (semi)satirical theory of stupid people and how we are all either stupid or not fully aware of the sheer amount of stupidly that surrounds us. They also speculate on how the COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign might benefit from a different sales pitch.
Chris and Lis dive deep into the theme of the podcast as they discuss unconventional hallucinogen treatments for mental illness and some long-term effects of gifted kid burnout.
Do you create fantasies in your mind about people who do not exist, or worse, don't know you exist? I'm sorry, but your relationship with Tom Holland is not real. Chris and Lis discuss how interpersonal relationship issues could lead to parasocial relationships of varying degrees.
Chris discusses what possibly awaits us all as Taylor swift, Lis tries to figure out Taylor swift lore, and Jake Gyllenhaal does not take a shower.
Chris and Lis look into the cute aggression phenomenon and why is it we want to hurt, squeeze, bite, and hit cute things when we see them? We also officially announce the enemy of the podcast and what it takes to earn such a title.
Chris and Lis go deep tin-foil hat in this one, trying to make sense of the secrets of the world and how to avoid a murderous, relentless, snail attack.
Chris tries to explain to Lis why TikTok may be harmful even though we all know neither of them will stop using that app. We also take an in-depth look at hot guys and tacos to predict our futures.
