S5 Ep385: The Metaverse & the Imposter Frédéric Bourdin
What IS the metaverse, anyway? Can you visit it now? Should you be buying real estate in the metaverse? Who was phone? Kathleen breaks it all down and ELI5s the metaverse, all while Bethany melts down from tech panic. Then, Bethany digs deeper into the missing person case of Nicholas Barclay and the man who convinced the boy’s family that HE was their son. Or did he?
** If you have any information about Nicholas Barclay, please contact the San Antonio Police Department Missing Persons Unit at (201) 207-7484

S5 Ep383: Unpopular Opinions & Life Lessons from Con Artists
Kathleen is reminding us all that just because we have different opinions doesn’t mean we can’t still be parasocial friends! Kathleen and Bethany go through some of their unpopular opinions and then brace for feedback. Then, just because con artists do bad things doesn’t mean we can’t learn some lessons from them. Bethany runs down her list of some crazy inventive con artists and lessons we can cull from their bold choices! (Listen until the end for Bethany’s favorite con artist of all time. It’s insane people believed he was their CHILD!) Plus, what’s Kathleen’s new scheme on how to get verified?

Kathleen is breaking it down and explaining why things like groceries, cars, houses, even your favorite hobbies have gotten more expensive over the last two years. Then, Bethany opens up about her struggles with getting back to socializing and leaving her house after two years of staying inside. (When does the excuse “I’m an introvert” become a crutch?)

S5 Ep380: Banned Children's Books, the Headless Nahanni Valley, & An Important Conversation
If you’re going to demand that a children’s book be removed from shelves, at least make it a GOOD reason! Kathleen’s going down the list of kids’ books that have been protested, and the reasons will make you roll your eyes. Well, except for the last one… Then, Bethany is talking about a huge swath of land in the Canadian wilderness that’s famous for people losing their heads. Literally. (Would YOU go there?) But first, Bethany and Kathleen address a mistake they made that a Tastebud drew their attention to. Hopefully, everyone can learn something from their mistake.

S5 Ep377: Dumb Names They Give Men’s Products & How the Military is Using Sci-Fi Writers
Apparently, marketing companies think guys are idiots. Bethany’s going through a list of products marketed towards men and the insane names they give them to reinforce this gender panic. ("Big Ass Brick of Soap” in the scent “Victory,” we’re looking at you.) Then, Kathleen discusses how the US military is looking to science fiction writers to predict how future wars will look, and we’re not the only country doing it! Plus, the most boring home decor release ever, and how someone seems to have slipped into an alternate reality.
