Never Again!! 01.09.2023 1:27:17
Hey friends of the podcast Sam is still on holiday so the audio is a bit different but the funny is still the same! It has been a tough few weeks for Lisa, as her life got packed up and relocated. She declares 'Never Again' because moving is a bitch! Do you pay attention to the move out checklist and are you an interrupter? How desperate do you have to be to pee in a golf course parking lot? Are y...
Something Smells... 25.08.2023 1:19:42
Something smells and it could be dirty period. Yes, there are certain smells that you just can't forget even though you wish you could! Lisa believes that fruit flies come from inside the fruit and Sam finally asks Lisa how her week has been after 361 episodes.

It Will Kill You 18.08.2023 1:25:51
Lisa now has evidence that water will kill you! She believes water needs a warning label! It's only mini sips of water for her! Lisa wonders what is the point of tube socks and Sam ponders a phrase used by her parents growing up. Dear Stayner, why aren't you open past 8pm? How does someone at our age not know the difference between regular gas and diesel? Does anyone remember the crazy diet pills...
Up In Arms! 11.08.2023 1:12:41
Lisa and Sam are up in arms over aeroplane aisles, not returning shopping carts, and the non blinker users. So many I shake my head moments as they realise they are going to be cranky old ladies shaming people in parking lots near you! What would you throw out if you were moving and will Sam hold up a sign at the Jann Arden concert? Frozen Oreos, yay or nay? Is there anyone else who thought the ho...
Smells Like Fish? 04.08.2023 1:14:45
Why do we associate the smell of fish with a woman's private region? Is it something we learned from our 70's mom? Why is fish so fishy anyways!? Lisa wonders if you can get away with scratching your privates in public. Does the TV show Alf need to come back even if Ryan Reynolds is behind it. Are we ready for people dressing up as real life canines? Would you eat only one thing for a month if it...
Seems Questionable! 28.07.2023 1:22:26
So many things in this episode seem questionable. The origin of the bumble berry seems questionable and so does Lisa's transition to her sketcher years. Does the view lying down give you body confidence? Cottage cheese with mustard questionable? Is it time to question the old Disney cartoons and Elon Musk's renaming of twitter? Should we name pets with human names and what's your take on Jason Ald...
Dirty Cake Money 21.07.2023 1:21:51
Kids birthday parties are super fancy compared to the parties of our youth when we were excited to get money in the birthday cake. Yes, we were overjoyed with the dirty cake money! Think of all the hands that touched those coins before you popped it in your mouth. Ah, good times! When you get older will you need handlers to cater to your every whim?

Does being tired equal not pooping and do you believe...
In Or Out? 07.07.2023 1:23:51
Is it in or is it out? Where does ketchup live in your home? Is it the fridge or some random shelf all warm and disgusting! Does getting older mean we wear statement jewellery, slip on shoes, flowy clothing and check container sizes for the best deal? Who taught you about sex when you were a teenager? Canada vs Finland, who's the friendlier one? Did you know the Great Lakes have snakes and asparta...
Grocery Wars!! 30.06.2023 1:14:30
Sam declares that Lisa makes lake grocery shopping not fun! Lisa can't help it that she has standards for bread and fruit. Sam is stressing out and Lisa is already mad! Go figure!

Do we think daytime talk shows...
Swinging Unsupervised! 23.06.2023 1:29:56
Lisa and Sam are shaking their heads at the 70's moms who let their kids go to the park by themselves.

Is It Cake? 16.06.2023 1:16:01
Lisa loves the tv show "Is it Cake?" and has a brilliant idea to launch another show where nothing is cake. It's called "of course it's not cake....I can't bake ''. Basically she is lying to people and no one will ever win the money. Is this the best idea or the worst idea ever!? Rice vs pasta: who's winning the battle? Can banana bunches be broken up and would you walk out of a restaurant after b...
Summer Camp Woes 09.06.2023 1:14:19
Who has Summer Camp Woes, Lisa does! She started at young age of seven and it was the worst two weeks of her summer and the best two weeks for her parents! Did you know that Barbie was a surgeon, a pilot, a policewoman, a firefighter, and a film director? Does that irate you or motivate you to do more? What have you realized you are to old for now? Is there a difference between diet or a lifestyle...
Cheese Chasers! 02.06.2023 1:14:00
Lisa finally found the one thing Sam might do, chase cheese down a steep mountain! She wants to become a cheese chaser! Is winning 7 lbs of cheese worth a possible concussion? Besides Lisa, who else is hoping for good Duggar dirt? Should the tv show Master Chef make you kitchen cry and would you think a store called Prairie Records is a record store? Is asking someone 'are you happy with how you'r...
Somebody Say Circus? 26.05.2023 1:14:13
Lisa wants to join the circus and wonders if Sam wants to come along. Only if she can be the ringleader! Lisa wants to be the cotton candy lady so she can eat it all day long! Dear Starbucks, what's with the frozen butter? Do you think a hedge just wants to be a tree? Will Lisa be able to get Sam to a baking class and are people still sucking on pens? Would you cut off a toe for 1 million dollars?...
No Garden! 19.05.2023 1:19:23
Lisa has successfully planted her garden...in her mind? Yes, she wants to garden and Sam is a hard no! There will be no microgreens in her future!

Do you choose your outfit the night before and what the hell is a...
Milk’s Back! 12.05.2023 1:38:45
Just when you thought Lisa couldn't surprise you anymore she goes and brings milk back...for the summer! Apparently changing the container changes everything!

Dear God...WTF 28.04.2023 1:10:41
Does God send you spam email? Lisa is getting emails from God and she isn't happy about it. Dear God, email someone else and stop speaking in third person, its creepy! What's the one word that creeps you out, could it be moist? If peanut butter couldn't have gone to school in the 70's would the kids have gone hungry? Does being able to sew on a button make you a seamstress and should bodysuits be...
Good, Bad, or Indifferent! 21.04.2023 1:06:37
Are you an over-thinker? Do you live your life in the stages of good, bad or Indifferent? Well, Lisa is there and is contemplating getting it as a tattoo!

What’s With The Clap? 14.04.2023 1:18:46
Who decided we should clap? Could there be different kinds of claps like a bored clap, an excited clap, or an angry clap? So Lisa asks the question, what's with the clap? Do you get your history lessons from the Flintstones and if you can pick up your dog poop why can't you pick up your garbage? It's the 6th year anniversary of the podcast and guess who had to be reminded, yup we did! Thanks Tina...
Just My Opinion! 07.04.2023 1:22:00
It seems the ladies have put together a themed show called it’s “Just My Opinion". Yes, from your bottom face doesn't match your top face to wondering why someone would not use a face cream. This episode has got it all! Are lamb chops fancy meat, and can eating out lead to ageism? Is sourdough an indicator of which zodiac sign you are and will Sam make salads in a mason jar? Pickleball is no longe...
Do We Act Our Age? 31.03.2023 1:24:33
Do you feel you act your age? Lisa and Sam feel that they have not matured because one drinks out of an orange plastic cup and the other one doesn't have plates. If needed Lisa believes they could pull out the maturity but otherwise don't squash their spirit! When are you too old to ride a scooter and will the fake fan cheer on the Blue Jays? How dangerous could archery really be and do young peop...
Adult Piñata Party 24.03.2023 1:29:47
