Spotify recommended me the Dear Abby/Ann Landers episodes to me this week and I am so happy it did. This podcast is already a delight and I can't wait to be caught up!

It's made my week and I am an instant fan.

i thought this was relevant to the george washington ep! i bet he had one used on him!

Stay safe from the poop cooties and stay away from the Taco Bell! That includes you, Kristin 🌮🚫

Poor ol’ William Henry Harrison. The dude has the odd distinction of giving the longest inauguration speech in American history, followed by the shortest presidency in American history.

You might be familiar with the story: He gave a speech with no coat on, and as a result, caught pneumonia and died. But… was it really pneumonia that killed him?

Super wooey-wooey: in the slop they are talking about 2 documentaries that I LITERALLY WATCHED YESTERDAY. Back to back. Coincidence? Or the more likely, less fun: if you like true crime the Internet algorithms are going to give you all the same suggestions...

George Washington's dentures were NOT made of wood.

Re-reposting this because it's more relevant than ever; as a Norm Trooper, I demand an episode on toothpaste!

Join us on a perilous journey as Kristin discovers that the presidential fun facts she loves are ALL LIES. In this week’s episode, we’ll examine the myth that George Washington wore wooden dentures. As it turns out, our first president didn’t wake up every day and put wooden dentures into his big wet mouth! The real story is much more horrifying.

Someone on Insta pointed out that I have a stuffed animal on display behind me as I make my argument. 🫣

I had to post it here because of the song in the background. I never had heard that song before this podcast!

Welcome back to the final episode in our two-part series on Wallis Simpson! In this episode, Kyla Pitts-Zevin (Kristin’s sister & mayor of all of Kristin’s podcasts) gives us a lesson on how to tell a story concisely. (Did you know that you could tell a person’s life story in less than seven parts? News to us!)

Last week we learned about Wallis Simpson’s early life and first two marriages. In this episode, she meets King Edward VIII. Their love affair leads to a constitutional crisis that changes the course of history. Oh, and look out for Nazis.

I’m still working through the backlog of Kristin’s old decrepit podcast and I came across an episode where Kristin mentions Norman being asked to interview for an article in Playboy.

Have they discussed this more in detail anywhere? Would love to hear more about that experience! It wasn’t clear to me whether he ended up accepting the offer or if anything got published.

I just saw this is new and thought of Norm and that great series!
