Groundhog's Day has been a special day in our family for 32 years as it happens to be the day Ciara became a big sister (Happy Birthday, TayTay!) On today's episode, we decided to finally find out why the rest of the world makes such a big deal out of February 2nd. Turns out, it's way more fun than we thought. You may know about Phil, but are you aware of his knob or his rival Trash Heap Chuck? Ok, that's not his name, but he is Phil's rival and for that reason alone we've got beef with him.

We haven't told you stories since last year, can you believe it? It should be a crime. Speaking of crimes this episode has multiple. We've got happy endings, unknown endings and an ending that involves birds screaming- like actual birds not the british slang word for women.

You’ll be just as shocked as we were to learn that after 5 years with mics, two diagnoses and a very clear theme of tangents- we have never actually had an episode on ADHD. We may have spent years and years exhibiting all of the traits, but only now have we broken down what it really looks like to be a person with a differently functioning brain.

Have you ever heard of inheritance powder? No? What about an elixir that drips straight from the bones of St. Nicholas? Not that one either? In the 1600’s you could call it whatever you want, as long as you keep it quiet. Thanks to the big brain work of women in Italy, quick trip to the apothecary is all you need to purchase your freedom from a life as property, I mean holy matrimony. In this episode, we reflect on the herstory of one of the world’s most alleged serial k*llers. She’s a legend in Italy and Miss Tofana if you’re nasty- Giulia Tofana.

We had so much fun reflecting on what the internet had predicted for our 2024 that we decided it was only fitting to see what the stars and algorithms believe are in store for us for 2025. It may come as surprise to absolutely no one that the universe and co-star agree, everything's coming up CiCi and Jeri will have to endure more self inflicted chaos. One of us is vehemently rejecting their predictions and the other is Ciara.

Our longest running tradish strikes again. Before 2024 breathes its last breath and 2025 kool-aid man's in to blow our backs out, we invite you to pause with us in the inbetween. There's so much to reflect on when the jump from '23 to '24 was this aggressive.

There's a very good chance that the traditions shared in this episode have been covered in years past. Luckily for the two idiots on the couch, our minds resemble those of gold fish and we often forget what we've discussed on here. Luckily part two for us, Ciara did remember just how much we loved a middle school band concert and brought us a little treat to enjoy at the beginning of the episode. We hope you all are enjoying a gentle and intentional holiday season with people, animals, books, shows and blankets that bring you joy. Merry everything from our corner of the internet to you! -Jeri & Ciara

The title of this episode is somewhat misleading- not the so poopy so dead part, that's actually bizarrely accurate but if you're having trouble figuring out how those things connect to the holidays, know you're not alone. Ciara typed *christmas* into the email search bar and for whatever reason, death was a central theme. While poop wasn't mentioned as much, it still is our podcast so there's no world where we don't have a poop story correlate with whatever word we type into the search bar. When we do scandal episodes, it is hard to write a description because you all know what is going down so instead of being a thorough explainer, I thought I'd share some alternative title options:

-I love bulldogs, I love bubba Gump, I love being by myself

-Spade and Neuter your sisters or whatever Bob Barker said

-I think I chemical burned my puss puss

-Stay tuned to see who my aunt gives grandma to for Christmas

and finally

-I gotta get out of here and bleed onto something

You're welcome for the continued lack of context, out of pocket eppy quotes.
