We laugh our way through dubious trends like “hot chocolate” electrolytes and the red-wine-on-ice-cream craze, then stop cold at a time capsule from 1916: a message in a bottle penned by two Australian soldiers on their way to war.

Trick-or-Treating: From Soul Cakes to Snickers Bars
Send us a text A weekend full of music and family sets the stage for a bright, candid tour through Halloween as it really happens: costumes that may not arrive, kids sprinting between porches, and parents juggling logistics with a smile. We kick off with the pure joy of a Paul McCartney concert—ukulele tributes, Lennon harmonies, and the kind of encore that sticks with you—before pivoting to birthday games, school calendars, and the chaotic charm of spooky season. From there we dive into the...

Noras of the Rings
Send us a text A snack aisle scuffle turns into a masterclass on design, trademarks, and how a crimped edge can be worth millions. We unpack the Uncrustables vs Trader Joe’s lawsuit with equal parts curiosity and skepticism, comparing packaging, shapes, and the subtle cues that make shoppers loyal—or confused. Then we veer delightfully off-road: a Tennessee baby that tips the scales at nearly 13 pounds, a Half Moon Bay pumpkin that pays like a side hustle, and a pumpkin spice car wash that da...

Nailed it!
Send us a text This week has flown by...From that joyful chaos, we zoom into the strange and delightful: a Taco Bell 50K where hundreds run 31 miles and eat at nine fast-food stops, and a science-backed case for why dancing might be the brain’s favorite reset button. It all leads to a surprisingly rich deep dive on nail polish—how a simple ritual holds time together, why acrylics and press-ons are both art and obstacle, and how names like OPI’s can turn a shade into a story. We also explore ...

Let There Be Light!
Send us a text A candy collaboration, a robot named Dot, and a light switch you control from bed—today’s ride is all about the small levers that quietly shape a calmer life. We start with a straight-talking taste test of the Reese’s x Oreo mashup, separating hype from flavor and calling out why the PB-filled Oreos delivered more joy. From there, we take a sharp turn into Phoenix, where bright red DoorDash delivery robots share the road at 20 mph. Cute? Yes. Frictionless? Not quite. We weigh p...

Leaf It to Us!
Send us a text When the leaves start changing color, something magical happens to our environment and our spirits. We dive into the fascinating science behind autumn's spectacular color show, revealing Mother Nature's specific recipe for vibrant fall foliage: a wet summer, dry fall, sunny days, and cool nights. The process responsible for this transformation—abscision—is when trees essentially seal off their leaves as winter approaches, creating those breathtaking displays that define the sea...

Questions
Send us a text Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it's definitely keeping our conversations alive! In this lively episode, we dive into the fascinating world of questions - why we ask them, how many we should be asking, and what they reveal about us. Did you know that toddlers ask a staggering 300 questions daily while adults barely manage 20-30? We challenge this statistic, noting that between our morning kid chaos, phone calls, and social interactions, we've likely surpassed that num...
