Problem Isn’t Poutine! 11.03.2022

Seems Un-Mannerly! 04.03.2022

Lisa is paying Sam a compliment because it's World's compliment day. She believes that we have become un-mannerly, and Sam questions the validity of that word.

This brings back fond memories for the ladies of well delivered backhanded compliments from their grandmothe...

We’re Over It! 25.02.2022

Condiment Hierarchy? 18.02.2022

**Hey friends of the podcast, Sam had technical issues with her audio, so it sounds a bit off. She is working on getting it right for next week! Yes, there is such a thing as condiment hierarchy! Nope, not condoms like Sam thought but condiments, and you will never guess who is at bottom and the top. If you guessed ketchup and Dijon mustard you to have an unconscious condiment hierarchy!! They tal...

Meet Jerry!! 11.02.2022

Lisa would like you all to meet Jerry, the kettlebell. He is her emotional support kettlebell, and he goes where she goes. Sorry fithoop your last week's news!

Giddy Up Turtle! 04.02.2022

Are we taking these furry rodents and one lobster at their word?...

Fast Walker?! 28.01.2022

Lisa is determined to become a fast walker. She tries to keep up to those other fast walkers even though she has more of a sauntering pace! Cheating on her fitbit has occurred to her, and maybe she needs to analyse her stride! Why do we keep eating food that isn't great and 'doesn't taste that bad'? Lisa thinks it's because we don't want to go without. Sam rolls this into a great diet gimmick, and...

Wanna Wordle? 21.01.2022

Very Adulty Of Us! 14.01.2022

Lisa wants to up her hydration and believes it would be very adulty of them to have a water bottle, which then Sam breaks the news; she's already got one! She then ponders is water, water? Huh? Would you eat a hotdog with fruit loops? The ladies think it could be good, but no one needs a heart attack! Is it more quantity vs quality when it comes to choosing food for your diet? Sam thinks quality b...

F**k It, I’ll Do Better Tomorrow! 07.01.2022

Lisa rolls out a new motto for 2022; fuck it, I’ll do better tomorrow! It's kind of a little bit positive, and it makes you feel less like a loser who has already strayed from your new goals!

This Still Happens? 23.12.2021

Please excuse our ignorance as we question why children are still being put on a stranger's knee at Christmas! Sam is thinking kids sit adjacent to Santa, but Lisa doesn't agree. She thinks it's odd that this still happens, and she has to give up straws because of the turtles. No, the comparison doesn't make sense, but let's roll with it! Lisa is brimming with Christmas spirit; she is singing and...

One Big Dilemma! 17.12.2021

Sam poses a question: Should we know everything as adults? Lisa thinks being confident in your dollar store spices is a sign of being an adult, but Sam thinks it's knowing what balsamic vinegar is!

Lisa is a bit drooly, while Sam is a bit sniffly and fatigued, b...

I Got The Gift! 10.12.2021

Lisa claims she has the gift. She sees things and can predict the future. A dream wouldn't lie, would it?

Lisa finally gets interested in the tech part of the podcast, almost five years in! She...

Slow Eat, Quick Heat 03.12.2021

The chip man cometh and has bestowed upon Lisa a chip flavour that has her claiming that its a slow eat but a quick heat!

Animal Up! 26.11.2021

Is It Ten Yet? 19.11.2021

Lisa is not complaining about being off at 4pm but the drawback is she's ready for bed at 8pm!! She tired, besides everything is over and done by 8pm anyways!

Lisa is worried about slipping around like bambi on ice and Sam doesn't wa...

Boom Baby Expansion? 12.11.2021

The Butchered Bagel 05.11.2021

Lisa needs a problem solved and it has to do with bagels. She likes some of them but feels pressured to like all of them.

Sam is in her Hallmark Christmas glory now that Halloween is over and Lisa suggests they call up Ron Oliver to...

Dear Buffet! 29.10.2021

Sam thinks she might need a buffet in her life and that leads them to go down memory lane about the classy, trashy, and fancy buffets!

They wish for the chance to find that one great small town buffet one d...
