We would love to be two pigs wallowing in the mud right now, but unfortunately we’re cursed with human consciousness and with that comes the burden of knowledge.
This episode Kristin is a truth-bringer as she shares her knowledge on the addictiveness of nicotine. She’s getting into the different forms of consumption and its many effects, reasons why nicotine has such a hold on ADHDers in particular, sharing harm reduction recommendations as your friendly neighborhood vascular P.A., and celebrating the many wonderful changes that can come about when you quit.

You know how we feel about drugs: save ‘em until you’re older. But there are some drugs to avoid no matter your age, and sneaking to the top of the list is an innocent-sounding inhalant that’s leaving a wake of nerve damage and uneaten whipped cream in its path.
This episode Grace is following up on her promise to spread the bad word about whippits, aka nitrous oxide. She’s breaking down what they are, why they’re becoming a growing problem, the many potential cognitive and physical side effects, and tips for staying safe.
Plus, we’re chatting about the accuracy of astrology, sharing healthy alternatives to getting high, debating what is and isn’t a bipedal animal, and imitating a bird call reminiscent of a stressed nana (at least according to our interpretation).

Light your torches and grab your pitchforks, because we’re going on a manhunt and these things always work better with a mob.
This Bagel Bite we’re taking down everyone, from conniving older brothers to diet culture to Neil Degrasse Tyson. If you’re sensitive to mentions of sexual assault, listen with caution because this guy is a real piece of work (Neil, that is).
We’re also reading your famous first words after the first step/tumble onto the moon (a strumble if you will) along with your culinary suggestions from down under that have Grace more combative than ever.

Just call us Scully and Mulder (minus the sexual tension) because we’re pursuing a truth we know is out there and wearing ginormous shoulder pads while we do it.
This Bagel Bite we’re covering the newest UAP news, pondering about alien culture around the world, and sharing our conspiracies and predictions, watchlists be damned.
We’re also chatting scrappy yardsaling, judging books by their covers, and the importance of having a quiet hum alone, sharing listener write-ins of your current verbal stims and things that are embarrassing for no reason (or maybe a very good reason), and reading a listener email about the origins of ADHD that made us think things.
