Sex is a messy business, yet very few of us are grossed out by it and most of us are turned on by at least some of the mess. There aren't many of us who like to look at boogers or pus or other things that naturally come from our bodies but sexy fluids? - me-YOW! We delve into this as well as talk about what we want in our smart speakers, how to find a bra that fits (hint: go to r/abrathatfits on Reddit), and how much being an adult sucks.

This week we wonder how people sustain rage for longer than a minute.

Is it because they embody all that is safe and nurturing or is it just because all that testosterone makes some of us boob crazy? Let us know how you're doing at contact@originstories.fyi.

Welcome to another week of many questions. How many sheet sets should you have? How tacky is it to mend holes in said sheets? Does Dawn have snaggle toes? All that AND we discuss the creative spark. Do people just have that extra something special, can it be learned, or is it just magic? Let's forget about the problems of the world a moment and just lounge in the nonsense.

What is the ideal body type? We discuss this as we ponder all things body image. We wonder how we decide what image to put forth to the world and why are people so gross.

Welcome to this week's talk of the almighty bidet and plans for the apocalypse. Scott can't stop singing the praises of a clean butt and is still trying to convince Dawn to convert.

Let us know what archaic phrases still sneak in to your vocabulary at contact@originstories.fyi.

This week Dawn is inspired by a show she watched where a chef loses his sense of taste. This makes her wonder what sense would most affect her life and in what ways could one could compensate.

Scott still can't get over watching a stage production remake of a particular movie 7 years ago. He's been pondering this question ever since. Why do we need a remake of The Wedding Singer?

Let us know what you think should be named at contact@originstories.fyi.

It's time to celebrate! Dawn has a new robot vacuum to do her bidding and Scott didn't poop while running a marathon! After a bit of discussion about marmots, The Boys, and a first date, we discuss Urban Legends.
