Hey, Sisters!

Gretchen eats and grades papers, Jessie works at a haunted house (ATTRACTION), and we meet Isis and Jackrabbit, the barefoot hikers of the AT. Derby and Disco!

AI creates the best most incredible totally true podcast. Hilarity and actual, factual podcasting ensues.

Catching up! Polish pronunciation, Multi-named individuals, forbidden love, Nazis (again), Przemysl, CW: anti-semitic activity, motorcycle show with Ewan MacGregor, ex-beau Beowulf, the right side of history but the wrong side of Hitler, Helena is a GirlBoss, NOZZIES, chaos in Poland, The Stefi Foundation

Gretchen can build tiny joints for scenery, tuna fish salad, Chicago mafia/mob, sightings and more sightings, Jessie has to note, phone calls and ransom notes, runaways, and full-on tragedy. Also Gretchen is on her phone so forgive the mess.

TWO WARNINGS: Spoilers for "The Swimmers" film, and both of us are congested and might cough every now and then. That said... Rio Olympics, The Agency, Crazy Like Stick it To The Man, the refugee experience, we are terrible at research but Jessie finally gets a chance to fall into a research black hole, did we mention we're sick?

Still recording on the floor, Gretchen gets scared by the cat, grandpa and grandma "ghosts," old people perfume, Schmitty the Little Boy Ghost

DISCLAIMER: We were sitting on the floor with a toddler climbing all over us. This is pure chaos.

Would Gretchen be a good spy?, our obsession with gadgets comes out, WHY DID THEY NAME IT THAT, THOUGH?!, rabbit holing on spy craft, learning about the sisters who spied during WWII, back to the naming process, the Bletchley Circle, lots of googling of "fanny."

SPOILERS!! SO MANY SPOILERS!! And singing.

HBD GRETCHEN!, royal protocol, Elizabeth and Margaret are like Gretchen's daughters, birth order analysis, bathroom adventures, coronation drama, **SHOCK**, Maragret, FBFA, we actually cry, Philip (who is Mountbatten?), Gretchen has friends from England, accents, that's NOT the definition of "received", The Choice of Mountbatten... and that's just the beginning.

Content warning: abuse, murder, incest. Gretchen is a little hoarse, terrible upbringing, French pronunciations, guess what? MORE MENOPAUSE, Carousel of Progress, Peri-Menopause The Musical with a Drag Queen Shadow Cast, Jessie makes notes on notes, foreshadowing, Rene and the door and the lights, scandalous French tabloids of the early 1900s, mental health crises, Take That, France!, May 189

First day of kindergarten for Gretchen's eldest, peepee finger, Jessie introduces this one with a song, biographical musical comedy drama, slime tutorials, we are not so great at fact checking, Ethel Merman or Bette Midler? Rosalind Russell, International Theatre/Thespian Festival, misquotes, dance marathons - not the healthiest way to make a living, lesbian brothel... buckle up. It's a RIDE.

Car wrecks, sad stuff, reincarnation, "There's no way, they're still alive", all their names start with J, Google Machine song, Horseypoo, memories that aren't theirs, Photos derail us, Fast Pass to reincarnation, Do you believe?

most memorable birthdays, puddle of pee, massive amounts of childhood memories, Jessie beeps to keep us car-ride friendly, we got no secrets, fingernail lemonade, big trip dreams, school issues, and not really understanding what the heck we are talking about sometimes

We finally nail our intro, hanging out with ZsaZsa on Disney+, Gretchen needs more research topics from folks but this time it led to a wee Elton John fan, enneagram 8s and their relationship with justice, the cat found a Q-tip, Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, puritanical witches, literary sisters, that's nice - moving on, enneagrams again, Jessie starts RANDOMLY SINGING FOR NO REASON

**TW: unwanted advances and violence toward women, minimal gore** LOL but not LOL, altitude sickness prevention/management, ASCAP and MTI contracting, Gretchen makes Jessie sing "in Irish" then pretends to be offended, 9 years is substantial, mind messing, vodka and ecstacy, the FAA and the mystery zone come up again, and Jessie struggles to explain a statement
