Episode 45: The Great Political Pets vs Pests Debate

This week’s episode is all about pets – the agony and the ecstacy. We love them but the real question is: do they deserve it?!

Things we discuss include:

  • Deep Throat. Rosemary is referring to the seminal journalistic film, All the Presidents’ Men, while Beatrice is referring to… something else
  • Michael D’s puppy, Misneach, steals the spotlight. (As a correction: Bród is still alive. Síoda is the dog who sadly died last year.)
  • Netflix’s Marcella, about which we both complained non-stop, but of which would happily watch 10 more seasons
  • The medical mystery of “sleep eating”
  • Despite what Beatrice says – “a koi can live as long as you or me!” – the average koi fish has a life expectancy of 25-35 years
  • Nessa Cronin of The Try On and her zebra courses
  • NFTs and the value assigned to them by the buyer
  • Another correction: the lifespan of a hamster is 2-3 years
  • Brood X cicadas – the joys of American life!
  • Sir Didymus and Ambrosius, the true stars of Labyrinth
  • The great bear-scratching video that has become legend in the Mac Cabe-Kirkland households
