Short story, meet short sport! Will the Yellow Wallpaper Lady finally pipe up and be the first person who says what she wants for dinner? Or will J.B. Mauney bull-ride his way to conversational-gastronomic dominance? Join Janelle and Tami as they argue it out. And remember: it's always a full moon somewhere. That will seem a lot spookier after you listen, probably.

Did you just hear a gunshot, or was that an engine backfiring? Probably both! Join Janelle and Tami as they decide whether the crime-lovin' Corleones or the car-drivin' Andrettis could do a better job designing a billboard for a local business. Come for the books and sports, stay for the 2017 Indy 500 hype + predictions! Vroom vroom! Mozzarella! Arrivederci!

Finally, an episode with some real stakes... the Belmont Stakes, that is! Hey-o!

Guest appearances by Air Bud, Feelings about Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Keira Knightley.

One of these subjects is a great and powerful mad genius who carries the hopes and dreams of an entire city on his shoulders, and the other one lives in Oz.

It's all about hustle, people. Hustle and ice cream cake. 

Hey, what's the deal with New Englanders who stitch red letters onto their clothing?

Also: learn what not to do at Fenway Park. 

Down a sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country, Reggie & Cheryl Miller are just dunking on Brother & Sister Bear left and right. But what happens if these two sets of super-siblings have to change a flat tire? Join Janelle and Tami as they take several trips down memory lane to find out.

What's that off the port bow? A sea creature that can turn into a hammock, or someone's cast-off copy of The Notebook? Join Tami and Janelle as they figure out why Tami never read Island of the Blue Dolphins, what their family motto should be, and which of this week's subjects could ride a roller coaster until they puke. Blech!

In this introductory episode, join Janelle and Tami as they figure out whether the tiresome Pip or the butterfly Marty B would be better at adopting a kitten. Also making appearances: Captain Crunch, Willy Wonka, unicorns, and codfish. Wait, what?
