#294 - Aliens vs Zombies / Dinosaurs / First Days of School / Accents & Languages / First Kisses

In this episode we go from Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s “tiger blood” days to whether Magic Johnson ever actually had HIV, because obviously YouTube comments know best. Then we dive headfirst into aliens—are they here to destroy us, or just here to ask what we do for fun in Miami traffic? Zombies crash the party, dinosaurs get their shot at non–Jurassic Park glory, and somehow Ratatouille gets props as the realest kitchen movie ever (Bourdain approved). We also launch our very questionable book club, debate ambience sounds for reading (war explosions count).

We dive into the chaos of dropping kids off at school for the first time—because nothing says "parenting" like crying toddlers, suspiciously cheerful teachers, and apps that track every bathroom break your kid takes. We compare our school days (no QR codes, just raw survival) to today’s Fort Knox-level systems, and wonder if kids will ever know the joy of sneaking their first kiss behind the bleachers without their parents getting a notification. From raising bilingual kids to reminiscing about our painfully awkward but unforgettable “first times,” and even taking a detour into whether Nelly Furtado is “thick in a good way,” this one is a rollercoaster of childhood, parenthood, and everything in between.
