Baby Geniuses

Hello babies! 

Happy holidays from your two favorite rowdy altos. This season, Lisa has an encounter with some celeb xmas trees. Emily pitches a visit with the Gävle Goat. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Icelandic Christmas folklore, which depicts mountain-dwelling characters and monsters who come to town during Christmas. The stories are directed at children and are used to scare them into good behavior. How fun!

Hello babies!

It is finally winter, the greatest season to live under a blanket and binge watch a classic show you've never seen! Lisa is diving into Sex And The City for the first time and we take the opportunity to judge the characters and the actors. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples. We try to figure out which he has more of - names or controversies!

Hello babies! 

Happy Turkey Week! On today's episode, Lisa rants about holiday gift guides and Emily is still interested in gardening. We read the Wikipedia page for Tempest Prognosticator. In Honor of Emily's Endorse Horse selection this week, the rest of this episode description will be written by AI: This week, it's a horse you don't even recognize. Emily finally got her next cavalry addition. We spend most of last week on horse stuff, and it seemed to get me cranky after a while. You know, not as cranky as one of our male visitors, but just a little cranky nonetheless. If I'm a pack animal, Emily's Horses are the same. Aww

Hello babies!

We hope you are still enjoying the spooky season. On this episode, we discuss being a mean person, or how being a good person isn't really instinctual. On a very spooktacular Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Safety coffin," a coffin fitted with a mechanism to prevent premature burial or allow the occupant to signal that they have been buried alive.

Please enjoy Endorse Horse, or Ride the Endorse Horse, or whatever we decide to call it. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Groom of the Stool."

Hello, babies!

We are coming out on this episode as fudge truthers - When was the last time you had fudge? Does anyone other than tourists buy it? Are there people making new batches of fudge, or was all fudge made in the 80s? On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Dancing Baby. No, it's not a page about when our listeners dance with excitement when we drop a new episode!

Congratulations on sniffing out our show. Lisa's dog Annie is practicing her nose work, and Emily just got a camera to spy on her dog Alan and devised a plan to make sure he never knows she has left the house.

Hello babies!

And a special hello all you Raybies out there (a fan of Everybody Loves Raymond and Baby Geniuses)! Emily is neck deep in Raymond DVDs and powering through them a season at a time. On a much sadder note, Tuca & Bertie wasn't renewed for a second season by Netflix - go out there and let them know how disappointed you are! On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Manneken Pis," a bronze statue of a boy peeing. Manneken Pis is the best-known symbol of the people of Brussels!

Hello babies!

What permits are needed to start a backyard farm? How many bees do you need to buy? Is a rooster really necessary? This is the first episode recorded in a post "Cats" film trailer world and we need to work out our feelings. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia pages for "Trash Talk" and "Flyting." Get ready for some hyperbole and figurative language!

Hello babies!

Thank you for sending in your #babybikes! We asked you to draw a bike from memory- no peeking- and you did it! Lisa just got back from Alaska, and she enjoyed ALL of the sights.

Hello babies!

On this very special episode of Baby Geniuses, we read multiple Wikipedia pages for our world famous Wiki of the Week segment. We will start by reading the Wikipedia page for "Acoustic Kitty," a CIA project that was a uniquely bad idea.

Hello babies!

This is the first episode we've recorded since Tuca and Bertie dropped! We address a legitimate concern regarding the show. There's another new pup in the Baby Geniuses family - Lisa got a new dog! Her name is Annie and she is a very sweet heeler mix. I am personally quite excited for Annie to meet Emily's new dog, Alan. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Lek mating, "an aggregation of male animals gathered to engage in competitive displays, lekking, to entice visiting females which are surveying prospective partners for copulation." Sound familiar, ladies?

Hello babies!

We hope you're enjoying Lisa's new show Tuca & Bertie, available now on Netflix! If you're a regular Baby Geniuses listener it would be foolish for you to not be at least six episodes in. Download the Netflix app and stream it at work and get caught up! On this week's episode, Lisa returns from a trip to Hong Kong and Emily does separation anxiety training with her new dog Alan. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for John Titor, a time traveling message board poster.

Hello babies!

This is the last episode we will release before Lisa's new show Tuca & Bertie comes out on Netflix later this week! Hey, and when you watch it, don't tell us if you hate it! We don't want to know (not that there will be a chance you won't like it, as it is a perfect piece of entertainment). On today's episode, we plan a future segment based on Emily's new dog Alan. Suggestions for titles are appreciated! On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Seedfeeder, an illustrator known for contributing sexually explicit drawings to Wikipedia.

Hello Babies!

Emily got a dog! His name is Alan and looks like a grumpy old man found himself in a "The Fly" type teleporter mishap situation and was mixed with an otter and maybe also a dog. Hey grumpy old dude- I hope you like pooping outside! On Chunch Chat, Lisa's horse Juniper is testing her boundaries. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Planetary mnemonic."

On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Sheela na gig," figurative carvings of naked women displaying an exaggerated vulva. They are architectural grotesques found all over Europe on cathedrals, castles, and other buildings.

Hello babies!

Thanks to Party of One music for putting their spin on our theme song! If you turn this episode on and feel like you've been transported to a different, much more adorable universe, don't worry! Same crappy universe. On this week's episode, Emily dives into the show Suits in an attempt to figure out "what Meghan Markle's deal is." We also answer some month old reader mail. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Wizard of New Zealand," a decidedly non-magical person.
