Open up your earholes and prepare for another silly Just Segs, because we still havenât gotten our giggles out and we could all use a good guffaw in these trying times.
This episode, weâre all over the place as we autistically brainstorm ways to correct someone calling you by the wrong name, pitch a high-risk high-reward reality show in Businesses Someone Should Start, Just Not Us, share our opposing AuDHD needs in Alternative Segments, and get into the ins and outs of bird law and emergency breaks in Pizza Secrets.

On this podcast youâve learned about bonsais, indoor plants, and composting. Now, itâs time to put it all together and enter the great outdoors for some seed math and sunshine.
This episode, Kristin is hitting the dirt to teach you about beginner gardening. Sheâll walk you through the materials you need to get started, how to figure out what and how much to grow, and the many pearls of wisdom sheâs gained from her gardening failures of past, present, and future.
Also, we share our safety songs and crush some Lilâ Accomplishments, Kristin canât stop stress-swallowing gum in Iâm So Quirky, Grace defends her soccer pre-season defiance in Pizza Secrets, and more.
Remember, Big Boy Gardening for Big Boys isnât about being a boy, and it isnât even necessarily about big gardens. Regardless of the gender of the gardener or size of the plot, B.B.G.F.B.B. is about a can-do attitude and a belief that, if youâre planting things in dirt, baby, youâre gardening.

Rise and grind those half-caff coffee beans because weâre talking ADHD and caffeine and itâs all about moderation.
This episode, professor Kristin is continuing her ADHD & addiction series with a big olâ infodump about our nationâs lifebloodâcaffeine. Sheâs getting into the science behind what caffeine is, how it works, the effects it has on the ADHD brain, and whether it can be used as a primary ADHD treatment.
Weâre also sharing our icky day rituals, revealing our status as certified tossers, and encouraging society at large to stop normalizing unnecessary enemas and start normalizing routine colonoscopies.

Heâs giving a crash course in Vascular Disease 101 and expanding on Kristinâs smoking and addiction series with his own words of wisdom.

Weâre gearing up for another set of guest episodes, but in between all the intellectual conversations we wanted to take a break and get back to our nonsensical roots.
This Bagel Bite, weâre kicking things off by debuting what just may be the song of the summer before getting into pet psychics, âLil âPlishes, the tragedy of celebrity veneers, the role shame plays in losing a hyperfocus/special interest, and more Lucky Charms talk than you could ever hope for.

Saddle up and settle in for part two of our conversation with Kylie, where weâre riding the proverbial hobby horse train full steam ahead into silly segments.
We share Who We Are Now before Kylie takes center stage (finally) and reveals her definitely-not-OCD-related Quirks, her hot takes on Things That Are Embarrassing for No Reason, and gets a sneaky Pizza Secret out into the world and off her conscience.
Plus, we jam on the kazoo, Kristin gets to ask a hug-neutral person her hugging questions, and Kylie and Grace share a few bonus Pizza Secrets from their early twenties that arenât wild and crazy so much asâŠodd.

Lace up your Beanâs boots and get ready to fangirl, because weâre parting the olâ felt curtains to welcome our close friend and New Englandâs favorite true crime podcaster, Kylie Low, into the pod loft.
Kylie is the creator and host of the hit podcast Dark Downeast, but her talents extend far beyond her journalism skills.
In Part 1, she shares how navigating grief while becoming a first-time mother impacted her executive functioning, the strategies she uses to avoid âIf You Give a Moose a Muffinâ mode, how an anxiety diagnosis helped her start to understand herself, and what else might be going on up there.
We also veer way off course with discussions of bounce houses, pierogi outfits, baby dimensions, Elle Woods autism, labor and delivery tangents, and so much more.

We would love to be two pigs wallowing in the mud right now, but unfortunately weâre cursed with human consciousness and with that comes the burden of knowledge.
This episode Kristin is a truth-bringer as she shares her knowledge on the addictiveness of nicotine. Sheâs getting into the different forms of consumption and its many effects, reasons why nicotine has such a hold on ADHDers in particular, sharing harm reduction recommendations as your friendly neighborhood vascular P.A., and celebrating the many wonderful changes that can come about when you quit.

You know how we feel about drugs: save âem until youâre older. But there are some drugs to avoid no matter your age, and sneaking to the top of the list is an innocent-sounding inhalant thatâs leaving a wake of nerve damage and uneaten whipped cream in its path.
This episode Grace is following up on her promise to spread the bad word about whippits, aka nitrous oxide. Sheâs breaking down what they are, why theyâre becoming a growing problem, the many potential cognitive and physical side effects, and tips for staying safe.
Plus, weâre chatting about the accuracy of astrology, sharing healthy alternatives to getting high, debating what is and isnât a bipedal animal, and imitating a bird call reminiscent of a stressed nana (at least according to our interpretation).

Just call us Scully and Mulder (minus the sexual tension) because weâre pursuing a truth we know is out there and wearing ginormous shoulder pads while we do it.
This Bagel Bite weâre covering the newest UAP news, pondering about alien culture around the world, and sharing our conspiracies and predictions, watchlists be damned.
Weâre also chatting scrappy yardsaling, judging books by their covers, and the importance of having a quiet hum alone, sharing listener write-ins of your current verbal stims and things that are embarrassing for no reason (or maybe a very good reason), and reading a listener email about the origins of ADHD that made us think things.
