    #258: World’s Horniest House Hunters, I Hate Marty Supreme & Dead Grandma in the Neighbor’s Basement

    This week on SOSS Street, Amy declares she’s a birder now that summer has finally shown up. Animal Report: Baby crows and baby bunnies in Maya’s backyard. Amy has deer hanging with coyotes in her yard. It’s animal city up in here. Amy goes to the garden center. Remember when we used to spend all day at the community pool in the summer in the 80s and only eat a frozen Snickers? What was normal for us as kids is very not normal now. We were latchkey kids! Amy wonders how she ever knew when to go home. Our parents were unworried, unbothered, and unreasonable. Ahhh, the 80s, when the dads were mad, and the children were free. Maya and Producer Tyler went shopping for traditional outfits. Maya reviews Marty Supreme, and she’s never hated a movie more. Amy reviews The Place Beyond the Pines. Maya reviews a new house-hunting show, Tropic Like It’s Hot, where everyone is incredibly horny all the time for no reason. Amy and Maya reminisce about Amy’s childhood neighbors, “The Crumbs”, whose baby drove a car into a fence and had a dead grandma in the basement. Live like it’s summer break in the 80s, y’all!

    #257: It's Taurus Season! Computer Says You’re Lying, and Stop Body Shaming Chonkers!

    This week it’s Taurus Season! Amy and Maya recap their birthdays. They are twin brothers, of course! Amy sold a house, and it was a whole hell of a thing. Maya & Producer Tyler try a new deli with sandwiches named after local celebrities. Maya has a drink she dubs the best version of Bartles & Jaymes. Next up, she has a bevy on the deck of The Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter. Then it’s on to a new pasta place in Robbinsdale. Amy recounts a run-in at her new nail place, Vertex Nails. She runs into a situation where a nail tech demanded to know who did such a bad job on her nails, and it was that nail tech. Then she shamed Amy for not identifying her as the offender. What a weird flex. Amy took a week off for her birthday and shopped all over town. She did Facebook Marketplace and wowed this woman by loading a whole yard swing into her car. She showed this woman what was possible with some tools and a dream. Maya recounts giving away a bed in her Buy Nothing group. The ladies reminisce about paper map books for the car. Animal Report: Chonkers the sea lion. Stop body shaming this big buddy! Approved/Denied: RIP Spirit Airlines.

    #256: Rewards For Your Crotch & Butt or It’s Called Sex in the City, Not Toddlers at Daycare

    This week on the pod, the Pay-TREE-archy gives us allergies, and we get a “Baby Jessica” update. If you’re Gen X, you know. Maya goes to a Tom Petty cover band. Amy and Maya have different experiences ordering things from China. Someone brought a gun to the White House Correspondence Dinner, and Maya ponders if we’ve become desensitized to the world completely unraveling. Maya wonders how historians will feel about our laissez-faire attitude while the world was completely falling apart. Amy’s work allows them to award points to coworkers. For some reason, there’s a whole page of rewards items devoted to your crotch and butt. Apparently, the rewards selection is very, very random. Amy reviews Lena Dunham’s new book. Amy hates all the peeing on the show Girls. Spoiler Alert: Amy loves this book. Which leads us to Sex in the City. Also, Amy has an amazing Steve impersonation. They did Aiden dirty on SITC. The gals review the movie Project Hail Mary. Five out of five popcorn buckets…go see it! Amy watches Coachella at home.  The Michael Jackson movie comes out. Maya loves the name Jermajesty.

    #255: Mega Tennis Report: Miami Open!!! or If We Had Girlfriends, We're Pretty Sure They’d Want to Shower With Us

    Maya and Amy open the show asking: Tiger Woods, why don’t you get a driver?!?!? On to the Miami Open. The ladies stay in a new place. Maya is naive about hotel stairwell treasures. Walking down a Florida street is always an adventure. The ladies buy the perfect amount of vacation groceries, and if you have ever been on vacation, you know how hard this is. Maya makes the best breakfast ever. The Miami Open DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Amy and Maya look for the good swag. No, they did not get the $100 hot dog. You are talking to hot dog purists. Don’t waste your Wagyu on a hot dog. The ladies have their amazing seats again next to the player’s box with coaches and family. Hailey Baptist is sitting a few seats away. First match: Jannik Sinner vs. Frances Tiafoe. Sinner’s forehands are the hardest a human can hit anything. Seeing Martina Navratilova causes Amy an injury. Coco Gauff wears a hat? Martina, Cocoa, Big Foe, and Sinner! The Uber home was a “premium experience” filled with war movie explosions, machine gun fire, and Werther’s Originals. The gals also get “back in the tank”. If you know, you know. The best product came from two nerds who don’t have girlfriends, but they’re pretty sure if they did, said girlfriends would want to shower with them. Amy and Maya have a great rooftop dinner starring an amazing Euro-trash DJ and a tiny, angry man. Best trip ever!

    #254: Afroman Saves the First Amendment, Timberlake’s Cringe DWI Video & A Nuts Song from 1972

    This week on the pod, Producer Tyler’s clubhouse has been shut down by an internet malfunction. Amy takes her mom, Marsh, shopping for “coverup” and a new skin care routine. Shopping with Marsh is hilarious. Marsh wants to know Producer Tyler’s hobbies and what Maya’s favorite sub sandwiches are, apropos of nothing. The ladies discuss Afro Man’s First Amendment triumph. This first amendment trial is everything. You can’t make this stuff up. Watch the clips…you won’t be sorry. That’s the best tour of jury duty ever! Justin Timberlake’s DWI video comes out. Spoiler Alert: it’s so cringe. The Bachelorette is canned. Maya doesn’t think anyone needs to see the musical Chicago anymore.

Amy doesn’t understand why they have to go to work and are not getting paid. Maya wonders why Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild isn’t in jail. Amy informs her that he WAS in jail. Prince Andrew’s perp photo looks like you shone a flashlight on a possum at night. Prince Andrew’s Go-to Innocent Look is Terrified Night Possum. Maya makes Amy listen to a nuts song, “Things Get a Little Easier”. The ladies top it off with an Oscars recap. Sinners wins big!!!! Michael B. Jordan is a class act. We don’t deserve him.

Maya thinks that might be against the rules, but would love to watch Amy try to talk a doctor into this scheme. The ladies make their Oscar predictions. The red carpet coverage needs help. Maya is excited for Sinners, and Amy is disappointed in Timothée Chalamet. Ethan Hawke, we love you, but you can’t make us watch Blue Moon. Amy just put her home theater together! Maya has issues with Song Sung Blue. One thought about directors: If you like PTA, you like PTA, and we like PTA. Sentimental Value keeps coming up over and over. You can’t make us watch that one either! Amy likes Guillermo Del Toro and hopes he’s not a pervert. Amy figures out who Stellan Skarsgård is. There are so many Skarsgårds. Approved/Denied: What were you like in the 90s? Goo Goo Dolls Iris social media trend.
