#258: World’s Horniest House Hunters, I Hate Marty Supreme & Dead Grandma in the Neighbor’s Basement

This week on SOSS Street, Amy declares she’s a birder now that summer has finally shown up. Animal Report: Baby crows and baby bunnies in Maya’s backyard. Amy has deer hanging with coyotes in her yard. It’s animal city up in here. Amy goes to the garden center. Remember when we used to spend all day at the community pool in the summer in the 80s and only eat a frozen Snickers? What was normal for us as kids is very not normal now. We were latchkey kids! Amy wonders how she ever knew when to go home. Our parents were unworried, unbothered, and unreasonable. Ahhh, the 80s, when the dads were mad, and the children were free. Maya and Producer Tyler went shopping for traditional outfits. Maya reviews Marty Supreme, and she’s never hated a movie more. Amy reviews The Place Beyond the Pines. Maya reviews a new house-hunting show, Tropic Like It’s Hot, where everyone is incredibly horny all the time for no reason. Amy and Maya reminisce about Amy’s childhood neighbors, “The Crumbs”, whose baby drove a car into a fence and had a dead grandma in the basement. Live like it’s summer break in the 80s, y’all!

#257: It's Taurus Season! Computer Says You’re Lying, and Stop Body Shaming Chonkers!

This week it’s Taurus Season! Amy and Maya recap their birthdays. They are twin brothers, of course! Amy sold a house, and it was a whole hell of a thing. Maya & Producer Tyler try a new deli with sandwiches named after local celebrities. Maya has a drink she dubs the best version of Bartles & Jaymes. Next up, she has a bevy on the deck of The Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter. Then it’s on to a new pasta place in Robbinsdale. Amy recounts a run-in at her new nail place, Vertex Nails. She runs into a situation where a nail tech demanded to know who did such a bad job on her nails, and it was that nail tech. Then she shamed Amy for not identifying her as the offender. What a weird flex. Amy took a week off for her birthday and shopped all over town. She did Facebook Marketplace and wowed this woman by loading a whole yard swing into her car. She showed this woman what was possible with some tools and a dream. Maya recounts giving away a bed in her Buy Nothing group. The ladies reminisce about paper map books for the car. Animal Report: Chonkers the sea lion. Stop body shaming this big buddy! Approved/Denied: RIP Spirit Airlines.
