Today We Laughed...and Learned!: Recent Episodes
Kris & Deb
If you're anything like Kris and Deb, you are fascinated by pretty much, well, EVERYTHING, but can't seem to find the time - or attention span - to grow your knowledge. Our reasons behind wanting to learn range from pure interest and nourishing our brains to being able to carry on a conversation in social settings and being interesting people! The thing is that we get overwhelmed by all the information out there and find bite sized bits of information easier to digest than whole meals. Oh, and we like to laugh .. A LOT. So, welcome to Today we Laughed .. and Learned. If you learn one thing you didn't know yesterday and chuckle a bit, well, our work here is done.
Thank you Carlos for jumping in and listen to me go on and on about yet another Boston incident! Yup...the biggest art heist in the world happened just 34 years ago in this quaint little city!

This episode is a little more laugh than learn, which we think is perfect for summertime listening! We watched the 80s classic, The Outsiders, together and, well, Kris lost a nail in the popcorn and Deb almost died choking on it. Like she needed any more health issues, but anyhoo .. so Kris decided to do an episode on the film since Deb missed most of it. Check it out!

Deb the mythbuster sets the record straight(ish) on things we always thought were true, but aren't! Are bagpipes really Scottish? More importantly, were they really just farting turtles? Did Einstein really flunk math? And how the hell did Van Gogh's ear end up in a brothel? All the while, Kris is just dreaming of a light bang and Deb is particularly, well particular, about her air horn. Please take a moment and check out Podtastic Audio!

We are republishing our interview to touch as many people as we can with the kindness, wisdom and sheer star power of this beautiful man.

We like something. We don't like something. We laugh really hard. Something devastating happens. And the list goes on...
No matter what way you slice that onion--you're gonna cry...unless you are in Bali. At a funeral...no tears there!

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!)

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

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 how two artists end up expert ghost hunters!
Hey! We mentioned Sam and Colby in this episode and if you love them like Kris does, go over to fanjoy.com and if you order, use code KRISTINE47806 and get 15% OFF!
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 sound is, well, kinda icky! Sorry! We tried!!!!
Please support us by subscribing, rating and reviewing on whatever platform you choose to listen on! Thanks!
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?
(cue the Super Hero music) It's Kris to the rescue!!!! No Deb, there are a lot of reasons why you can't retain the information...and Kris is here to tell you why and, most importantly, how to fix the problem.
This episode it for ANYONE wanting to improve their memory and ability to retain information. In this day and age, this information is invaluable to all ages.

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 of music sensation Prince and decide for yourself what the truth is.
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. Please listen and consider contributing to one of the organizations below. Kris then finishes the episode trying to lighten the mood with a fairly unknown story of a Californian war that went on just as WWI was winding down.

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 we take off on vacation! Don't worry, you won't miss a week...as we recorded our episodes before we left...pretty smart, huh?
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!
This episode is the most ridiculous episode we could ever put out. Debbie had a topic but we were so off the wall we have no idea what it was about. We hope you find our foolishness entertaining.
Did you know that the Curious George manuscript saved its owners' lives numerous times during WWII? We didn't either!
Tune in for a fascinating cross-section of cartoon, wartime drama, a teddy bear of a man and woman who put the spunk in chipmunk!
Lucky 13!!! You are going to learn so much in this episode...Deb sure did! It's Kris' turn again so you know it's a long one...but super fun!
Expand your knowledge of events around the world and enjoy a good chuckle with us!
What's there to say? Deb brings Kris' attention to the fact that she probably never read the books she was supposed to back in high school!
Genuinely fascinating facts about a family of literary geniuses combined with gut-bursting laughter.
We'll drink to that!
Grovel, happy, sad, funny? Deb takes a deep dive this week into a topic that is close to her heart. Although what could be a heavy topic, she handles it like a pro and we try to keep it light while learning a lot.
We are not sure if today's topic is funny, horrifying or just plain informative. You be the judge!
Kris tackles a tragic story coming out of a small town in Nagyrev, Hungary. An absolutely amazing true story about what happens to the poor husbands of Nagyrev when the women taste a little bit of independence!
Well, Kris dug her way out of the pillow tunnel and Deb was told to stay in the closet. Today Kris finishes up her notorious episode with the Supreme court years and lots of fun facts you may not know about this cultural icon. And .. of course .. Kris manages to find some new facts about our last episode to show Deb she was listening.
Even though this episode has nothing to do with cooking or deforestation--we needed to call it this. Why? Well, as you all know, we are not audio engineers and we are trying every trick the Internet has to give us a better sounding podcast. This week, although the subject matter is fascinating, the audio is not...It took Kris all day and night of chopping and splicing to get this...if we went back to prehistoric times they would say, "topic, good. Audio, bad". But, we tried and definitely think it's worth a listen!
Wow...thank you all so much for listening. Today, Deb will answer a burning question from a listener and Kris will tackle a topic that she is ashamed to admit she had paid no attention to! If you're listening from the U.S., you know about this notorious person, but will love hearing more. If you're not, well, you need to hear about her.
Well we are back for episode 5! We are trying to keep each episode a mystery so not too many hints...
Deb picked a truly fascinating topic that really makes you think.
Please be advised that although our podcast is clean, today there are some parts that are more suited for an adult audience.
Hope you enjoy!
Welcome to Episode 4! Kris surprised Deb with a super fun episode this week. It involves a kidnapping, beer, a black rock, Pagans and peas. If you can't figure it out from these clues than we suggest you take a listen!
Welcome to episode 3. We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you a Kris and Deb discussion. With the state of the world, we felt the Russian invasion of Ukraine was something we not only needed to learn about but understand the cause behind it. Although we both knew the topic this week, we did our own research in hopes of teaching each other (and you) about why this is happening and where this might be going.
Wow...Episode 2! Deb is in charge today and she does an amazing job!!! You will learn so much and I can almost guarantee that you have never learned this before! I'd love to tell you what it's about, but alas, I cannot. I guess you will have to listen!
This is it! We finally made our first episode! Kris leads the discussion on an interesting tidbit of Boston history that is both terrifying and fascinating. We would tell you exactly what this is about but the idea of this podcast is for the topic to be kept secret from both the audience and the other host!
Well, what can we say...this is the introduction to our new podcast! We have made this year the year of expanding our knowledge and we would like to bring you along! Every week we will be exploring a new topic that we can honestly say we know very little or nothing at all about! We will try to learn only the important parts and share them with you because - if you are anything like us - your busy life doesn't afford you the time or attention span to learn entire novels. Let's expand our knowledge together!
