Hot Dog Guns & Emotional Support Mascots

Hot Dog Guns & Emotional Support Mascots

Mascots… where did they come from, why do we have them, and when did we collectively decide a giant foam creature should represent athletics? This week, we’re diving into the history of team mascots—from their beginnings as literal good luck charms to the chaotic, fluffy, slightly unhinged muppet creatures we have today. We get into iconic mascots like the Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla, covering their origin stories, controversies, and of course… the hot dog guns. So many hot dog guns. And because we are chaotic as hell, we wrap things up with a completely unhinged game of Smash or Pass: Mascot Edition. Are mascots cute? Are they cursed? Do they know things about us?  And seriously… what is with all the flying hot dogs? Love what you hear?

A Little Stitious: Friday the 13th, Sports Rituals & Other Delusions

Have you ever knocked on wood without knowing why? Crossed your fingers for luck? Avoided saying "quiet" at work because you didn't want to tempt fate? This week we're diving into the strange world of superstitions. From Friday the 13th and black cats to sports rituals, healthcare folklore, and cultural beliefs from around the world. Along the way we discover why people throw salt at the devil, how a sneeze might eject your soul, and why you should never trim your nails at night if you value your identity. Whether you're superstitious or just a little stitious, this episode is packed with weird history, questionable logic, and enough bad luck to keep things interesting. Love what you hear?

Cats, Conspiracies & Ashley Surviving Christy’s Cat TED Talk

Ashley is a dog person. Christy became a cat person against her will but now won't shut up about them. Naturally, this turns into a full conversation about the strange and chaotic history of cats and why they somehow still run the world without contributing financially.  This episode covers everything from Ancient Egypt and self-domestication to black cat superstitions, plague-era panic, orange cat behavior, tuxedo cat millionaires, and the deeply suspicious things cats do at 3 a.m. Christy also talks about her cats Ginger and Wasabi while Ashley slowly realizes she may be trapped in a cat TED talk she never signed up for. Basically: history, conspiracy theories, weird cat facts, and one cohost absolutely testing the limits of the other’s patience Love what you hear?

In THIS economy?! (Unhinged Side Hustles Ranked)

People are doing WHAT for extra money??  This week we’re ranking the most unhinged side hustles we could find, from surprisingly smart to absolutely not. We’re talking renting out your pool to strangers, being a fake friend for hire, selling feet pics, and even getting paid to cry at funerals.  We also try to guess how much these side hustles actually make… and let’s just say some of them had us questioning our morals a little bit.  Some are genius. Some are concerning. Some should probably not exist.  So be honest, at what monthly income are you saying yes?? Love what you hear?

This or That: Everyday Debates & Unpopular Opinions

This week we’re tackling the important issues: crunchy or smooth peanut butter, online shopping vs. in-store, rewatching shows vs. starting new ones, and the deeply controversial question of whether leftovers should be reheated.  It’s basically a rapid-fire “this or that” episode full of random opinions, unnecessary passion, and minor judgment. Consider this episode a very unofficial personality test to figure out which TBOB host you’re most aligned with based entirely on chaotic opinions and oddly passionate takes.  Love what you hear?
