YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE HOW THIS ENDS. Listen to Ali's spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4l7mtVazXBiVfDR5QbcLQo

Our friend Zoe stopped by (again-- pre COVID) to discuss the many MANY different (but similar) roads to success. Even one about a driveway and we're still scratching our heads. This is our last guest of the season. Be sure to come back next week for our season finale! If you are able to support the Chicago comedy community, please do! https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-io-theater-staff https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-cic-theater-survive-coronavirus

Our friend Sheena stopped by (pre COVID) with the cutest lil' idiom, "smoke 'em if you got 'em". High school tobacco use, almost setting a second fire at Second City Chicago, sleep studies, and tik tok moms. Check out Sheena's web series- Toured https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9441rLjjiSw&list=PLulvE7c-2lNbENFPyYCaE_pYn_jfD3g3q Check out Amy's web series (starring Sheena) - Chicago HR https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC279ueoekqaYZt9Sm7wawFg

Does anyone even know what day it is anymore? Our friend H Schenck stopped by to talk about the epigram "you can't see the forest for the trees". Also we now know the word "epigram"! (again, this was recorded pre COVID. I am very clearly unwell in this recording, but am fine and staying home like everyone should be!!) Keep up with H- hschenk.com @hschenk_mudcampaign mudismud.com

Our friend Marley stopped by (pre shelter-in-place)to help us work through the quote "how can you love someone if you don't love yourself?" Remember back when we could leave our homes? This is a really weird and scary time for all of us. We wanted to let you know that this and the next 3 episodes were all recorded before this mess began. We really hope you are all staying safe, healthy, and at home. If you have the means, please think about donating to your local artists, theaters, or small businesses that have been affected. xx

Our friend E.J. Cameron (@ej_cam19) stopped by to discuss the insane physics behind the quote “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land amongst the stars.” We reminisce about the good ole days of facebook, how to make inspirational posters more relatable, and lots of bad and (probably) wrong statements on physics.

Our friend Jax came over this week to discuss... a lyric?! Technically yes. Did you know “Que Sera Sera” is just gibberish nonsense written for an Alfred Hitchcock film? We talk verbal placeholders, the Loch Ness Monster, and listening to friends.

No new episode this week (sad emoji) but we didn't want to leave you with nothing so here is a little chit-chat snack and we will be back next week with our first 2020 content of 2020!!

Our friend Justin (@justin_mikel) came over to discuss the quote “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” Once the word genius was explained to Ali, the conversation really got rolling. As it turns out, men have been taking credit for women’s words since at least the late 1800s. Who knew?!

Our friend Rose came by to talk about the expression "When in Rome..." Whew. We talk a lot of trash about some hard opinions in this episode- rude American tourists, Rome in general, the red line during cubs season, etc. Rose on Instagram @msroseamer | See Rose in the CIC house team Fair Dinkum on Fridays @ 8:30

Wow wow wow episode eleven! We get together with our friend Kat (@honest.wedding) to discuss the quote "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission". We truly go on an emotional rollercoaster that only ended after we talked in circles, lost our voices, and collectively collapsed from exhaustion.

Our friend Scott “The Snack” Gantner (@hotpantsner) came over and we got into a HUGE fight about Mr. Rogers. We haven't spoken since. Before that we chatted about the origin of the saying "moderation is for cowards", the military, and mounted animal heads. Amy even got a timely surprise call from an Alabama veteran!

IS BEAUTY CANCELED??? This week we discuss the powerful* mantra, "Be your own kind of beautiful." *TBD Check out these fun events that help a great cause! https://www.mealsonwheelschicago.org/chicagootap/

This week we sat down with our friend Ian Ornstein to discuss the saying "Everything happens for a reason." We chat about everything from astrology to meditation and even hit on super fun topics like illness and death! Follow Ian's creative endeavors by signing up for his quarterly email list!

This week we throw conventional sayings and cliches out the window and discuss Hays Code with the brilliant Zyle Cook (@zybxrg) How in the actual hell did a big clump of rules become so pervasive, we still see their effects now, 50 years after their abolition? Maybe this riddle will give you a clue: What's white and male and loves a pulpit?

about the salad bar at Chuck E. Cheese. (w/ Maggie Winters) by Amy Jackson and Ali Barnes

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?? Yes. Yes there is. That's right folks, a real live Doctor sat down to talk to us and all we managed to do is embarrass ourselves by referencing Grey's Anatomy multiple times. We chat with Dr. Simona Siddall about what makes a doctor good, women being listened to in the medical field, and the dangers of time travel.

Our wonderful friend Abigail O'Sullivan joins us to discuss the quote "There are plenty of fish in the sea." We talk miracles, dudes with dogs, and the online dating class system.

Caitlin Safiran (@caitlinsafiran) joins us to discuss the quote "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

This week we chat with our former roommate Kennon McKinney about the quote "I can, and I will." Somehow this leads us down a conversational path with stops at conversion therapy, iO Harold teams, and the National Baton Twirling Championships.

This week we discuss the quote "I used to complain I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet." with special guest Emily Walters.
