Today We Laughed...and Learned!

By Today We Laughed...and Learned!!!

If you're anything like Kris and Deb, then 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 an intelligent conversation in social settings. The thing is, 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. Let's learn a new nugget of info together!

Episode 68: We Are Thinking Outside the Box

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!

Episode 66: Stay Away From My Bedazzled Air Horn!

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.

The question of the ages ... or did serial killers invent cereal? Regardless, this is an informative and fun episode about Kris and Deb's beloved Mesopotamia and living 108-year-old legend, Muazzez Ilmiye Cig, whose research of Mesopotamia (and general female badassery) has made us fans for life.
