Moose On The Loose

Don't ask me how I am

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2537297/fan_mail/new] This week on Moose on the Loose, Jasmin and Tara tackle one of life’s great mysteries: why people ask “How are you?” when they clearly do not want to know the answer. From awkward street greetings, to a heated debate about whether it’s ever okay to sleep at your ex’s house when you’ve got a new partner, things quickly spiral in the way they always do. Jasmin then takes Tara down a rabbit hole with the bizarre true story of the Dancing Plague of 1518, where hundreds of people danced uncontrollably for days and the government’s solution was, somehow, to hire a band. Along the way, they discuss the best invention of all time (electricity), whether anyone would survive without their phone, Tara’s upcoming True Grit challenge, and why some old movies were wildly inappropriate. This episode has everything: * social anxiety * relationship boundaries * mass hysteria * mouldy bread * David Bowie’s very noticeable pants * and absolutely no useful life advice If you’ve ever overthought a two-second interaction or wondered whether history was just one long series of terrible decisions, this episode is for you.

Psychic Horses and Sex Robots

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2537297/fan_mail/new] This week on Moose on the Loose, Jasmin and Tara officially abandon movies and fully embrace whatever chaotic rabbit holes the internet throws at them. First up, Tara takes us through the legendary Emu War, the very real moment in Australian history when the military armed themselves with machine guns and still got absolutely humiliated by a flock of giant birds. Turns out emus are basically feathered tanks with surprisingly effective battle tactics. Jasmin then introduces Lady Wonder, the psychic horse who answered questions, impressed scientists, and somehow helped police locate a missing boy. The only problem? Later magicians suggested the horse may have just been taking subtle cues from her owner. Which raises the obvious question: how did they know where the body was? In Things We Don’t Understand, the pair discuss the strange rise of AI boyfriends and girlfriends. Is this the future of romance, a helpful support for lonely people, or the beginning of a generation that expects their partners to respond like highly customised sex robots? The 'Am I the Moosehole?' segment features a woman who exposed a married man’s double life to his unsuspecting wife, prompting an emphatic unanimous verdict of “absolutely not.” Along the way, Tara is confronted with a prank she played on Jasmin nearly two decades ago, proving that no teenage betrayal is ever truly forgotten. The episode wraps up with discussions about psychic octopuses, jizz jewellery, kiss phones, cruise ship intrusive thoughts, and the horrifying possibility of vomiting directly into the eye of a minke whale. Basically, if you’ve ever wondered whether a horse can solve crimes, whether emus can defeat the military, or whether your future soulmate is just an app away, this is the episode for you.

You Said One Sentence… It’s a No

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2537297/fan_mail/new] This week we ditched movies and immediately started judging people instead. We unpack ghosting (and admit we’ve both done it), including the very real experience of knowing within one sentence that someone is not for you — and then having absolutely no polite way to say that. From terrible Tinder behaviour and instant “no” moments (yes, fishing photos are included), we somehow spiral into one of the most unhinged moments in history — where North Berwick witch trials prove that a king nearly dying in a storm can, in fact, turn into a full-blown witch hunt. And if that wasn’t enough, we ask the important modern question:  Are we the problem… after someone paid $18,000 for an invisible sculpture? This episode includes: *  questionable dating standards  *  red flags we absolutely judge  *  a king with too much confidence  *  and the realisation that people will, in fact, buy nothing  We didn’t solve anything… but we did decide a lot of things should not be allowed.

Touch the Butt & Other Bad Decisions

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2537297/fan_mail/new] This week on Moose on the Loose, Jasmin and Tara take on Finding Nemo — and somehow turn a wholesome kids’ movie into absolute chaos. We start with a very unhinged retelling of the plot (including one of the most inappropriate takes on that opening scene you’ll ever hear), before diving into Marlin’s overprotective parenting, Nemo’s rebellious “touch the butt” moment, and whether Dory is actually helpful… or just a walking disaster.  From there, things spiral (as always). We introduce a brand-new game, “Finding… in Real Life,” which quickly turns into questionable confessions, chaotic oversharing, and stories that probably should’ve stayed off the internet. There’s also conspiracy theories (some valid, some… absolutely not), a heated AITA debate about grown adults watching “kids’ movies,” and an ongoing argument about whether Finding Nemo even has a villain at all. Expect big laughs, unfiltered takes, mildly concerning personal stories, and the kind of commentary that completely ruins a childhood classic—in the best way. Just keep listening 🐠

Identity Theft But Make It Surgical

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2537297/fan_mail/new] This week on Moose on the Loose, Jasmin and Tara dive into the absolute chaos that is Face/Off — a movie that asks the very normal question: what if you just… swapped faces with a terrorist? Jasmin attempts to piece together a plot she barely remembers, while Tara fully commits to the madness, defending the film like it’s high art. From magnetic prison boots to deeply questionable peach-related dialogue, nothing is off limits. The girls debate the real villain (is it Castor Troy… or the writers?), argue over whether John Travolta or Nicolas Cage would make the better partner, and spiral into one of their most unhinged conversations yet. Featuring: *  Two Mooses and a Lie (with suspiciously dove-heavy facts)  *  AITA dilemmas no one asked for  *  Identity crises, daddy issues, and questionable life choices  *  And a strong case for why this movie should not hold up… but somehow does  It’s ridiculous, it’s chaotic, and it might just be one of the best episodes yet.
