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.

In case you forgot what this podcast is meant to be about, we’re here to remind you with a meaty AuDHD shmorg.
This episode Grace is emerging from her TikTok hole to share some tips and tidbits from fellow AuDHD creators. She’s getting into ADHD impulsive compliance and how to avoid it, the importance of recognizing and nurturing our innate desire to be creative, ways to organize your ADHD home according to your desire paths, and more.
Also, Grace hastles Kristin about fire safety (because no one should be less responsible than she is), Kristin shares her hot takes on clown collecting, we set a shared goal to bully our friends more, and we cover a real big guy of a BOD.

Whether you’re a humble leader a la Neil, a ‘hang back in case of alien booby traps’ Buzz, or you’d prefer to step off the ship holding hands together, you’ll find something here for you in this intergalactic Bagel Bite.

Crank up those speakers and wriggle into your bell bottoms, because things are getting funky as Kristin takes us through the music history of Fleetwood Mac.
This episode she’s Informatively Infodumping about the many trials, tribulations, and love parallelograms of her favorite band. While we can’t legally play their music on this podcast, our personal interpretations of each song will give the illusion of being live in studio with Stevie herself.
We’re also inventing a Business Someone Should Start that turns drunks into the secret messengers of our society, building community in the women’s bathroom, instilling fear in coworkers over donut rules, sharing legitimately traumatizing Squirrel Trauma, and just generally being ungovernable.
