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.

Plus, Kristin is a funny guy with an ego as she reads her bosses for filth, Grace is a juggler in her heart and that’s all that matters, we create a business plan for an unconventional spin studio and pitch a tv show to trick reality stars into therapy, and more.

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.

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.

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.
