You’ll be just as shocked as we were to learn that after 5 years with mics, two diagnoses and a very clear theme of tangents- we have never actually had an episode on ADHD. We may have spent years and years exhibiting all of the traits, but only now have we broken down what it really looks like to be a person with a differently functioning brain.

Have you ever heard of inheritance powder? No? What about an elixir that drips straight from the bones of St. Nicholas? Not that one either? In the 1600’s you could call it whatever you want, as long as you keep it quiet. Thanks to the big brain work of women in Italy, quick trip to the apothecary is all you need to purchase your freedom from a life as property, I mean holy matrimony. In this episode, we reflect on the herstory of one of the world’s most alleged serial k*llers. She’s a legend in Italy and Miss Tofana if you’re nasty- Giulia Tofana.

We had so much fun reflecting on what the internet had predicted for our 2024 that we decided it was only fitting to see what the stars and algorithms believe are in store for us for 2025. It may come as surprise to absolutely no one that the universe and co-star agree, everything's coming up CiCi and Jeri will have to endure more self inflicted chaos. One of us is vehemently rejecting their predictions and the other is Ciara.

Our longest running tradish strikes again. Before 2024 breathes its last breath and 2025 kool-aid man's in to blow our backs out, we invite you to pause with us in the inbetween. There's so much to reflect on when the jump from '23 to '24 was this aggressive.

There's a very good chance that the traditions shared in this episode have been covered in years past. Luckily for the two idiots on the couch, our minds resemble those of gold fish and we often forget what we've discussed on here. Luckily part two for us, Ciara did remember just how much we loved a middle school band concert and brought us a little treat to enjoy at the beginning of the episode. We hope you all are enjoying a gentle and intentional holiday season with people, animals, books, shows and blankets that bring you joy. Merry everything from our corner of the internet to you! -Jeri & Ciara

The title of this episode is somewhat misleading- not the so poopy so dead part, that's actually bizarrely accurate but if you're having trouble figuring out how those things connect to the holidays, know you're not alone. Ciara typed *christmas* into the email search bar and for whatever reason, death was a central theme. While poop wasn't mentioned as much, it still is our podcast so there's no world where we don't have a poop story correlate with whatever word we type into the search bar. When we do scandal episodes, it is hard to write a description because you all know what is going down so instead of being a thorough explainer, I thought I'd share some alternative title options:

-I love bulldogs, I love bubba Gump, I love being by myself

-Spade and Neuter your sisters or whatever Bob Barker said

-I think I chemical burned my puss puss

-Stay tuned to see who my aunt gives grandma to for Christmas

and finally

-I gotta get out of here and bleed onto something

You're welcome for the continued lack of context, out of pocket eppy quotes.

It isn't often that a meme works it's way into everyday vernacular, but once in a while, when all the stars align, iconic phenomena such as The Florida Man becomes a universally known marvel. Without any context at all, you've already created an image in your head and it is an unhinged one at that. We've found some top tier Florida Man/Woman stories that are sure to reinforce that picture you've just created and as a bonus, we threw in some additional holiday hoopla from states outside of Florida, because let's be so ffr...America is just one big Florida.

Something has changed within us, something is not the same…that’s right. We’re not regular ladies anymore, we’re wicked women. Somehow we remained completely oblivious to the storyline of the musical for the entire 30 years of its existence and now, much like everyone else who has entered the universe of Oz, it is now our entire personality. Hangout while we deep dive into the history of one of the most beloved broadway musicals of all time. Beware, spoilers are somewhat included, however, this story has been out for longer than we’ve been alive soooo….

If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to work while experiencing global agony. I don't think this is what Darwin meant when he studied survival. The bar for the "fittest" is looking pretty low and pretty frozen these days. RESOURCES:

It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.
