Description
If you're anything like Kris and Deb, then you are fascinated by pretty much, well, EVERYTHING, but can't seem to find the time-or attention span-to grow your knowledge. Our reasons behind wanting to learn range from pure interest and nourishing our brains to being able to carry on an intelligent conversation in social settings. The thing is, we get overwhelmed by all the information out there and find bite sized bits of information easier to digest than whole meals. Oh, and we like to laugh...A LOT. So, welcome to Today We Laughed...and Learned. Let's learn a new nugget of info together!

We're not sure what the opposite of "going postal" is, but we're pretty sure it's all the laughs we had in this episode!
When Deb is pretty sure that an episode on the mail system will be about as interesting as discussing the life cycle of a snail, but Kris proves her very, very wrong. O She of Little Faith!
Also, did the police have to be called about Kris' laundry this year?

We couldn't get enough of BC Hunter from the Wrestling with the Truth podcast, so we made a Part 2!
The fun banter continues, but takes an intense turn when Kris and BC ambush Deb with questions on her readiness to visit Canada this year.
How does she do? Will she touch down on MONtreal (as pronounced by Kris) or will she ever be banished to reside closer to her Mesopotamian roots?

We are so excited about our guest, BC Hunter, from the Wrestling with the Truth podcast!
We had such a great time speaking with BC that we had to split the episode into two parts.
Enjoy Part 1, where we talk wrestling soap operas, injuries, origins and legacies!

This episode is a little more laugh than learn, which we think is perfect for summertime listening!
We watched the 80s classic, The Outsiders, together and, well, Kris lost a nail in the popcorn and Deb almost died choking on it. Like she needed any more health issues, but anyhoo .. so Kris decided to do an episode on the film since Deb missed most of it. Check it out! And be prepared to add some big grown up words to your vocabulary!

Deb the mythbuster sets the record straight(ish) on things we always thought were true, but aren't! Are bagpipes really Scottish? More importantly, were they really just farting turtles? Did Einstein really flunk math? And how the hell did Van Gogh's ear end up in a brothel? All the while, Kris is just dreaming of a light bang and Deb is particularly, well particular, about her air horn.

We were absolutely shattered to learn of the tragic passing of our good friend, Dennis Mallen. We interviewed him a few months ago to learn about his life as an actor, but we got so much more. We are republishing our interview to touch as many people as we can with the kindness, wisdom and sheer star power of this beautiful man.

Finally....part 3 of the fascinating story of Prohibition! But wait, did the Prohibition curb drinking or actually encourage it? And what did the Mafia have to say about all this? Even more importantly, where the hell is Kris' and why won't she indulge Deb in a fight?

Just because we were born with it doesn't mean we need it, right? Our appendix? Our wisdom teeth? And why were they called love teeth historically? We seem to have many parts on our body that we no longer need...or do we? Listen and decide!

We all know that Deb's brain is fertile ground for all things random, but did you know that it gets even busier in her sleep? This week, she and Kris delve into the various theories of why we dream and what exactly our brain is doing when we sleep. Oh, and Steve Tyler, of course, because .. well .. dream on!

Our much anticipated collab with the fabulous All Hollows Eve podcast! Jayson and Kathi join us on a fact finding mission about (aboot?) our home cities (states? provinces?) and we have a rampaging, donut dunking good time. What aboot those missing boots and that 5 mile long bridge, eh? But the real question is: will Deb stay mad at Kris?
The question of the ages ... or did serial killers invent cereal? Regardless, this is an informative and fun episode about Kris and Deb's beloved Mesopotamia and living 108-year-old legend, Muazzez Ilmiye Cig, whose research of Mesopotamia (and general female badassery) has made us fans for life.
Hey!!! Our Episode with Two Men No Hope is out!!! Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4UdM3ay9bDWzPI8Q0sjmh1?si=uADjgvjuSQ2xeGeFO1DywQ

Yup. F-it. The time-line of dental history that is. Not your dental care! Kris takes us through the evolution of dental surgery and we will never complain about modern dentistry again. Well, maybe a bit. But we'll be grateful that they don't stand on your chest anymore to yank a tooth out. Just sayin!

The world revolves around Deb and that means she went down the path to Mesopotamia! Not really. This is a super fun look at the dirty history of surgery and why we should be glad we live in today's world!

If you're like Kris and Deb, you had heard of the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion, but didn't really know the details. Kris digs into this modern day tragedy and reveals the horrific impact it had at the time - and continues to have - as well as reports on how it was (mis)handled by authorities.
