    Humbug

    Humbug

    Hello babies!
    A very Merry Christmas to all the Bougie Grinch Girls out there! A not so Merry Christmas to the worms that are trying to enter Emily's house. Related: we dig up dirt on certain Selling Sunset stars. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Humbug," a person or object that behaves in a deceptive or dishonest way, often as a hoax or in jest.

    Bark Mitzvah

    Bark Mitzvah

    Hello babies!
    Lisa is back from New York with a new obsession and Emily blows off a little steam about a less than sexy period drama. On Chunch Chat, Martha struggles with a mistaken identity and falls for an invasive species. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia article for "Bark Mitzvah," which is either a tongue in cheek celebration for beloved pets or a desecration of a cherished Jewish tradition.

    Stingy Jack

    Stingy Jack

    Hello babies!

    Boo! Was that spooky enough for ya? If not, Emily and Lisa are sharing some stories that just might chill you down to your core.. That is, if your SKELETON HASN'T ALREADY JUMPED OUT OF YOUR SKIN! I shudder to imagine such a thing. Lisa shares an interaction that she had with possibly an actual GHOUL and Emily serves up a literal jump scare mid segment. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Stingy Jack," a mythical character sometimes associated with All Hallows Eve.

A wonderfully comforting and hilarious listen

The sounds of your laughter brighten my mood instantly (: So infectious. I think you are doing a great service. Both wonderful, inquisitive ladies.

Poop, ponies pals

It's refreshing to hear a podcast hosted by two lady friends who delve into weird subjects and have no qualms discussing poop. A great mix of horse news, random facts, and funny non-facts. Lisa and Emily are awesome by themselves, but even greater together, like peanut butter and chocolate.

Terrible

I tried listening to baby geniuses a few years ago and, to put it nicely, it wasn’t for me (to put it accurately it’s REALLY bad and the hosts are annoying). Recently I heard an ad for the podcast that stated it’s “for adult idiots”, which, at least they’re being honest with their advertising now (using the word “geniuses” in the title of the podcast feels a lot like false advertising even if it’s preceded by the word baby). To make the ad entirely accurate tho it really should have said “for adult idiots, by adult idiots”
Do yourself a favor and skip this garbage fire
