In honor of officially making it to episode 100, we’re giving you the content you crave and following through on a promise to write the first chapters of our Horse Train Meet Cute novels—an inside joke so inside, even we don’t really understand it.
If this is your first episode, get ready for a weird one because we’re about to immerse you in worlds of interspecies romance, spine-tingling mind games, and the perfect amount of horse puns.
Plus, we share shitty little Pizza Secrets: Confessions Edition, Kristin has great terrarium fingers and concepts of Watergate, Grace gets kicked out of her first Reddit group (no regrets), and more.

This episode we’re getting a stern talking to, and frankly, we deserve it. We’re reading your write-ins and poll results regarding the role you’d play in the moon landing, how wrong we are about tea towels, and what commercials you’re watching around the world.
Plus, Kristin loves a good mush and keeps laughin’ and livin’ off lentils, Grace is rich in cabinet space and continues to beat a dead horse train, we take on bagel scoopers and ask the hard questions about scones, and more.
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.

Man, politics, huh? We love the stuff, which is why we’re spending this episode sharing our thoughts on the recent U.S. presidential election.
In what we’re calling a full-blown Bagel Pizza, we’re discussing the blue bracelet trend, explaining what a tariff is and isn’t, ranting about racism, and providing some suggestions and resources for learning, participating, preparing, and keeping the hope alive during a scary and tumultuous time.

In our first 1:1 interview, Grace sits down with her family friend John Alter to chat about life as an AuDHDer.
A self-professed wanderer, John shares some of the wisdom he’s gathered along his journeys, his childhood experiences with stuttering, how the discovery of AuDHD helped him describe something he’s always known about himself, the challenges of everyday conversations, the importance of writing, poetry, playing, and loafing, and so much more.
Whether you feel like an alien trying to assimilate into human life or Rip Van Winkle coming back to civilization after 100 years, you won’t want to miss this insightful conversation with a dear friend.

Lace up your moon boots and don’t forget the freeze-dried ice creams, because we’re about to blast off into uncharted territory and you never know when you’ll need a little frozen sweet treat to accompany the overwhelming vastness of outer space.
Just like the moon landing, we’re getting way off course this episode as we share our current verbal stims in This is Who I Am Now: Echolalia Edition, invent a business that’s like Trading Spaces but for unfinished house tasks in Businesses Someone Should Start, Informatively Infodump about what happens when non-ADHDers take stimulant medications, and struggle with social rules at the dentist in our Alternative Segment, Things That Are Embarrassing for No Reason.

Lately we’ve really been pounding the early morning sand and burning the meat candle at both ends, so this week we’re taking it easy with a short but satisfying shmorg of a Bagel Bite.
We’re annoying all of Europe with our speculations about things that are a simple Google search away, sharing some of your favorite idioms and gestalt phrases, trying to piece together the origins of Kristin’s many malaphors, and shouting out the Shoebill Patreon supporters amongst us.

Welcome back to Part 2 with Judy, where she’s revealing her Preferred Hug, sharing her AuDHD Quirks, Informatively Infodumping about Orca whales, and divulging a piping hot Pizza Secret that involves bad driving and conspiring moms.
Also, Kristin masters two kazoos at once and successfully uses an idiom, Grace is a good guy and joins Judy in the bad drivers club, and we all fill your earholes with an array of harmonies you’ll swear were sent from the Heavens.
Whether you enjoy a customary squishing of the fronts or you prefer a wave from afar, you’ll find nothing but giggles in this second half of our conversation with the wonderful Judy.

Turn off the overhead lights and be sure not to wrinkle the bedsheets, because our friend and #1 fan, Judy, is sitting down with us on the plush carpets of Pod Loft 3.0 to share her story, and you just know she has some very specific sensory requirements.
In Part 1 Judy is divulging how a comment from an esthetician led her to an ADHD diagnosis, how our podcast encouraged her to seek out the additional diagnoses of auditory processing disorder and autism (brag brag brag), all the ways developing a deeper understanding of herself has strengthened her relationships with her wife and son, how her AuDHD creativity has led to her career as an artist, and so much more.
