Today We Laughed...and Learned!

It's Christmas time and nothing says Christmas like a cup of cocoa and a Hallmark Christmas Movie.  But why is a greeting card company making movies?  And why are they so iconic...never mind cheezy? Find out now! Listen, there is a great new app we are on and it's called Newsly. Follow this link to download now!  https://newsly.me And, if you use our promo code LaughedLearned you wi...

Whoops!  It's a long one.  Kris stays Christmassy and Deb gets history-ee.  While Kris carries on about her Gingerbread House trauma Deb get (kinda) serious exploring all different periods of time so that maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can stop trying to figure out when the middle ages are.  (don't hold your breath!) Listen, there is a great app we are on and it's called Newsly.  F...

This one was a doozy!  Kris hadn't slept in 48 hrs and Deb hadn't seen the movie but some how we pull it off.  This week we are in the holiday spirit and Kris is a little punch-drunk telling the story of the Christmas Classic: It's a Wonderful Life Have you hear of a great new app that not only combines all your news, radio and podcasts into one, but also reads the articles to you? &nbsp...

First, this should have been called the episode that almost wasn't because I forgot to edit it and second, Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating!   So today Deb and Kris attempt to dissect the history of the Tarot card.  Not sure if we did but we had fun trying to!  

Well, we made it by the skin of our teeth!  This episode wasn't happening then it was.  This is one of our random episodes.  This time we were both given a random date on the calendar that we had to learn about!  Talk about polar opposites!!!

Well I waited until the last minute to edit this one just so I could stay on theme.  Deb explored the topic of Procrastination...most importantly, why we do it!!!  

Well, to be honest, I'm quite tired and got a million and one things to do.  So, it was Debs week and she taught Kris...who was quite a trooper recording this episode as she endured the pain of a severe thumb injury earlier in the day, about Stockholm Syndrome--which Kris, again in quite a bit of pain, knew nothing about and had a lot of questions.

Last episode of Spooky Season!!!  Again...everyone else did such a great job with the spooky, scary stuff that we decided to go in a different direction.  Today we discuss America's most famous experts in all things Paranormal--Ed and Lorraine Warren!  Have you seen The Conjuring?  Well, that's them!  Well, a depiction of them!  Find out the story behind these two and...

Hey!!!! Robert the doll forgave Deb and has given back her microphone.  So, as we know--it is Spooky Season!!!   Everyone has their spooky episodes out, so we decided to find out WHY we celebrate spooky season...I mean really, why DO we celebrate Halloween?  Tune in and find out!

Happy Spooky Season!!!!  No true crime here (usually) or hauntings (usuallly) but this week Deb delves into the world of the Mandela Effect and what is the scientific explanation behind it... Meanwhile, there are obviously ghosts in the studio just in time for spooky season.  Why?  Well, something totally messed with our audio this week and not only did we record twice, but the soun...

Poor Deb has been under a cloud of despair :(   Why Deb? Why???? Well, it seems she has just been so frustrated because she listens and takes in so much interesting information on this podcast that she wants to remember it all...but for some reason...she can't.   So should she quit the podcast?  Is she too old for this?  Why is everything she learns just flying out the window?...

So, yeah, this episode derails over and over yet stays on track.  Deb breaks out God's #1 best seller to teach Kris about all the things we thought had come from the bible, but didn't.  This was alot of fun even though there was a tragedy while recording...listen to find out what was happening!

Oops, sorry.  Last week life got in the way of our fun.  Anyway, did you know Prince's death is considered controversal and he may not have died the way the media reported?  Well, thanks to the Simpsons the week before--Kris learned that his death may not be as simple as the media made it out to be.  Come listen, learn and laugh while Kris teaches Deb about the life and death o...

Well, what can we say...Kris knows Deb is seriously lacking in her knowledge of pop culture AND, although you can find this topic everywhere, Kris knows Deb will never look it up so, today Kris is covering the phenomenon known as the Simpson's Predictions!

This week we have a great discussion about Debs garage door AND she teaches Kris the correct terminolgy to use in todays world.  If you are confused or just want to make sure you are respecting someone's orientation, then you need to tune in.  If you are short on time, feel free to skip ahead to about the 30 minute mark :)

There is a horrific humanitarian crisis occurring in Yemen and has been for years.  Kris attempts to take a complicated history as to why this war has been going on, who started it and why--and break it down so we all can understand it, kinda.  There is an unprecedented amount of people starving to death, malnourished children and lack of clean water and basic medical supplies.  Ple...

Ok, well this episode has zero to so with a moose but it is associated with our two humped friends, the camel (isn't one hump called a dromedary?)  Anyway, Kris shows off her lack of knowledge once again as Deb shares what she has learned about the middle east.  For Kris' sake, she doesn't delve too deep but she does leave us wanting to learn more.  Join us for our last show before...

ahhh, 1969...need we say more?

Well, we were busy busy. So.  Instead of not recording we decided to play a quick let's learn together game and Kris gave Deb an easy topic to learn.  Meanwhile, Deb screwed Kris over :P

Yup, time to get ready to hit the road this summer...of course at the price of gas you will probably only go to the end of your driveway but, I digress.  Bring us along!!!! This episode will get you into the vacation spirit with lots and lots of advice as to what to do with your time!

If Kris would stop interrupting Deb and quite honestly if Deb would stop interruting Deb, this episode would have been done in record time.  However, they couldn't control themselves and thus, the need for a two parter!

Well, let's just say we love to relive our childhood (teens anyway).  We got off track so much we had to make this two episodes! Sorry!  But, I think you will love Debs topic if you were a teen in the 80's.  If you're of a different genre, think of it as a rambling history lesson that's not boring.

That's Fokken right!  You are getting the episode you've been waiting for!  It's the story of a set of twin sister's and their amazing life.  This one is for the parents, not the kids.  Mature audience only please :)

Well, now its Kris' turn in the hot seat!  See what on earth Deb picked for Round 2 of the Unnamed Game!

We are still in the closet, roasting, but managed to squeeze another one out!
