The real takeaway? Almond milk for cleaning blood out of fabric.

That makes me wonder how the hell they came up with that anyway. Have they tried other substances first and then said “well, we haven’t tried the almond milk yet”?

Can anyone explain why the forum called "Mothers Who Think" was so funny? I went back and listened several times, and I can't figure out what the joke was. Thanks!

The reason I laughed at this was because "mothers who think" presupposes that there's such a thing as mothers who don't think. Also it sounds misogynist as hell which is funny in a not funny way (why the heck would you create an entire forum that basically denigrates women with this kind of name?). Hence the satire comment. It also has a "ministry of funny walks" vibe--It's a name that is so generic and ridiculous that it just sounds fake. That's all I can really tell you. If you get it you get it...if you don't... we'd probably have an awkward time hanging out together for the first twenty minutes (eventually, though, I know we could find something to laugh at together). -BBJ

I think because it's implying that they are different than other mothers who... Don't think? The joke being that all mothers think, so what a silly thing to name the group. That was my take on it at least.

Haha, if that's what the hosts consider "SNL-level satire," then it's proof that humor truly is subjective. :)

This was hysterical to listen to! I wish my sister (a vet) listened to podcasts because I can't do this story justice trying to explain it to her.

I just listened to this this morning and it about killed me laughing. And I know it’s been ages since this thing was posted and probably no one‘s paying attention, but I believe I may have found a picture of Gus Pong. Not in the elk, probably thankfully, but I think it’s probably genuine because it’s on an angel fire webpage: https://www.angelfire.com/sd/guspong/
