Ellie and Scott are joined by Jenna Fischer from "The Office" and "Office Ladies Podcast"! Jenna shares why Keanu Reeves' action films bring her a sense of calm, why she thinks we like to root for Keanu as the action hero, and the surprising connection between "The Office" and "Speed". And speaking of speed, Ellie shares her new favorite way to run! Follow Ellie @elliekemper on Instagram and Scott @mescotteckert on Twitter, and get in touch at [email protected].

Ellie and Scott discuss the seminal hit TV show LOST with Born to Love’s #1 Fan – Jenny Eckert!!! Jenny is (a) a die-hard LOST fan, and (b) Scott’s sixth grade daughter. Together they plumb the depths of television’s most mysterious island, as well as Scott’s parenting habits. Ellie is transparently horrified by both. And stick around for Jenny’s record-setting game of Love It or Loathe It. Follow Ellie @elliekemper on Instagram and Scott @mescotteckert on Twitter, and get in touch at [email protected].

Buckle up before you take this Gripe Corner because the brakes have been cut and Scott is gunning it on his hatred for bad drivers.

Ellie and Scott welcome their first returning guest – and longtime friend! – Tommy Dewey back to the show to discuss his love of Short-Lived Obsessions. From Arctic Adventures to English Titles of Nobility, Tommy takes us on a tour of some of the things he’s been obsessed with… for two weeks or less. Ellie and Scott share some of their own mini-obsessions and discuss why they so often burn out. Is it because we have an insatiable curiosity about this wonderful world of ours? Or a crippling fear of commitment?!  Follow Ellie @elliekemper on Instagram and Scott @mescotteckert on Twitter, and get in touch at [email protected].

An abundance of disposable plasticware and a dearth of recycling bins sends Ellie over the edge and into… Gripe Corner.

Everyone goes to elementary school — and Ellie and Scott love it! They talk about their favorite memories of 20th-century schooling, from Lunchables to tater tots, as well as their thoughts on the modern elementary school experience.

What's more irritating: having your most prized possessions stolen, or the total indifference of the criminal justice system to your plight?!?

2024 was full of movies — as were the 140+ years prior, because film sure has been around for a long time. Ellie and Scott talk about the best movies they watched in 2024, even if those movies weren’t released in 2024, which means Scott reaches back only slightly to the summer for some Glen Powell, while Ellie takes full advantage of the freedom and brings one from 1936. Hey, some plots just stay relevant. Follow Ellie @elliekemper on Instagram and Scott @mescotteckert on Twitter, and get in touch at [email protected].

What could possibly capture the agony and perpetual labor of cleaning up after your kids? Well, as it turns out, several Greek myths.

Scheduled hang outs? Impossible. FaceTime? Too much chin. In the eyes of comedian and writer Jo Firestone, the spontaneous phone call is where it’s at. Ellie and Scott may be skeptical of this particular form of communication, but after laying out all the positives, Jo might now have two new people she can catch up with while driving home from Burger King. Please note: Ellie, Scott, and Jo recorded this episode before the Los Angeles wildfires began. Their hearts are with the rest of their LA community.

The gift giver might be safe here in the description, but their anonymity is revoked in this week’s Gripe Corner, where Scott slams a particularly ugly present he resents having received.

Sam Sanders has been a steady, calming fixture in the public radio world for the better half of a decade. So why does he always seem to be in a hurry? Where, you might ask, is he always speeding off to? Well, just about anywhere, as long as he’s doing it in a nice car. Sam takes Ellie and Scott back to his automobile origins in his mom’s green Mercedes, gives them a peek at the (more economical) car he drives these days, and tallies up all the speeding tickets he accrued in between.

We all get sick! No shame! So if you’re coming to Ellie’s house, you better not pretend to be the picture of health.

It’s that time of year: the time when people take big, synchronous breaks from work. So here’s something to help you relax while Ellie and Scott relax, too. In this episode, they each share their favorite holiday movies with each other. They learn a whole lot about what the other finds fun — and how differently one can define “Christmas movie”.
