A minisode from Mattie! This is an unresearched ramble about her magnificent life. Well, it's more about how she's finally getting doctors to listen to her, and she hopes it helps some people. We miss y'all, but we're still here! TikTok is the easiest way to find us!

This Week Mattie tells us all about the amazing Sarah Biffen. the disabled woman artist that did portraits of multiple royal families in the late 18th and early 19th century. That's right, Mattie is doing an art episode this time. everything has gone mad. will Austin do one that contains actual educational value next?

We're Back! after a long break, we come in with the unofficial themes of our podcast! Animals that kill and the atrocities committed by Europeans. Austin goes into The Lions of Tsavo, the real actual killer lions that inspired The Ghost and The Darkness and whatever that Idris Elba movie that came out last year was.

This week Austin fell down a rabbit hole and ended up riding the rails with all his possessions wrapped up in a handkerchief on a stick. (or a Bindle as Mattie helpfully pointed out.) After a brief discussion about how our ghost threw a ceramic pig across a room (oh yeah, there is a MAJOR ghost update.) Austin talks about Hobos, a bit of their culture, and their self described King, Leon Ray Livingston. who was the analog equivalent of the lady on Instagram showing you how amazing her van is. Hear about the Hobo Signs, the wild claims made by the Hobo King, how heaven is real and it is in Pennsylvania, and watch us accidentally become a true crime podcast for a hot second.

Its a solo episode this week and Mattie goes into labor. Let me rephrase that. Mattie talks about the Labor Movement. Like the last 200 years of progress, how Reagan made it all worse, and how in the last 2 years American workers have gone through almost a microcosm of the entire fight for labor again. We also discuss quiet quitting, how unskilled labor is a misnomer, the great resignation, and Pete Davidson. Obviously.

This week Mattie and Austin discuss literature. really, we both read the same book and talked about it, you should read I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy, we both liked it. Then Austin starts to talk about Pickleball, but it angers Mattie (she thinks Pickleball is made up,) so he talks about Matthew Hopkins. The Witchfinder General. Then Mattie takes us North to Edinburgh Scotland and tells us all about Mary King's Close and how myths about it have become so prevalent that they often get reported as true.  Twitter: @onthetestpod Facebook: Facebook.com/onthetestpod Insta: @onthetestpod onthetestpod.com theme song by https://www.fiverr.com/nilgunozer

Hello Party People! that was weird, lets try again. This week Mattie and Austin are back to their usual routine with a pretty great Episode Mattie talks about an influential figure in film and makeup that we don't learn much about, Lon Chaney. He pioneered a lot of early film makeup and became one of the first faces of the horror movie genre. Then Austin dredges up a national unpleasant memory and talks about The Presidential Fitness Test. why did we do it? did it actually do anything? and how did Reagan make it worse?  Twitter: @onthetestpod Facebook: Facebook.com/onthetestpod Insta: @onthetestpod onthetestpod.com theme song by https://www.fiverr.com/nilgunozer

This week Mattie and Austin switched things up. instead of painstaking research over multiple days to put out an episode Mattie and Austin gave each other an unknown topic and then had to research it in only half an hour. that is right, we combined the thrill of video game speed runs with the excitement of reading and taking notes. we are legends.
