586. Escape from the Multicurse: Run Lola Run
Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.
This week we discuss 1998’s Run Lola Run!

585. Rough Stuff: Bathroom Etiquette
Ah yes, the embarrassing act of going to the bathroom. It’s not fun for anyone. Especially for Bridgett (pants pisser) and Sarah (terrible thief). But today’s topic dives into the unwritten rules of the American Public Bathroom System and the hooligans that feel they are above the law. Also, Bridgett tells a wonderful story about a Milan Fashion Week bathroom. We’re getting into that rough stuff.
