Cue Vitamin C’s Graduation song because this is the final episode in season 1! Truly can’t believe there are 31 episodes in one season, oh how times have changed.

Gordo Spielberg takes to the camera like a moth to the flame. An exaggeration? Perhaps. On this episode you’ll see just how far Gordo will go to get the shot.

What is this? Another misleading title?! Expected an elaborate woo-ing of Miranda but got smacked in the feels with the opposite? Us, too. Is Lizzie in a trash can at one point? Sure seems like it.

What type of learner were you as a tweenager? If you’re anything like Lizzie, chances are you’d rather put on a wig & costume to learn about the downfalls of 15th century England than study facts in books. In today’s episode, we dive into the Fact-a-thon and the unconventional methods of Mr. Dig. PLUS, weContinue reading "Lizzie McFire S1E25: Facts of Life (with Brandon Penny)"

What was the first Rated R movie you ever saw? Was it a fictional Ben Affleck film? If so, you’re in good company. We’re talkin’ all about it on today’s episode with special guest @Brandonleepenny.
Personally, the thought of being handcuffed to Lizzie all day makes me want to cry. Matt on the other hand… count me in! That’s right, today we’re talking about Lizzie & Matt’s forced togetherness at a Charity (mini) Golf Tournament. Plus, we bust out our newest DMK segment that you don’t want to miss.
This week we’re talking about unhealthy obsessions. Fun, right?

Grab some dinner because we’ve got a SHOW for you today. Mainly, Miranda graces us with her acting debut and, in the process, turns out to be a pretty self-aware lady. 10 points for enlightenment! Speaking of, Matt sells all his worldly possessions… for a different reason.
Hey Kids, today’s episode is going to be a ring-a-ding time, ya hear? Today we’re talking allll ’bout that lounge culture life. Rat pack, fedoras, bouffant hair… a true delight for your listening ears. Also, Lanny’s in the house (with Matt)!

We would gladly take 13 year old Lizzie McGuire as our president. On today’s episode we find out just how good of a politician Lizzie and her running mates are (hint: her opponent eats worms) and just how bad of a friend Lizzie is to her campaign managers.
At what age did you begin babysitting? I was NOT qualified to begin at 13… but they all survived. As does Matt when Lizzie kicks off her first stint as babysitter. We talked through all this and more with special guest Jay from Geek Dad Life.

Lizzie tries her hand at gymnastics and it turns out SHE A BOSS! During the performance of a lifetime Kate tries to sabotage her by using henchman Larry Tudgeman. Bonus – we recorded this episode together in Nashville with special guest Callie T!
Hey quick question: anyone’s family own a water park? If so, CAN WE BE YOUR FRIEND?! Today we’re talking about Danny K’s pool party that Gordo was RUDELY not invited to and we present a very compelling theory about the actual nature of this episode. Dare to disagree.
Moms: you love them, but when you’re 13, every move they make is #embarrassing. In this episode, we get to see Jo McGuire heroically chaperone LIzzie’s overnight field trip. Matt & Sam struggle to survive without her. One thing’s for sure: WE STAN JO!
