Edward Dando09 Jan 202401:01:07
Hello babies! Do you have Wonka Fever? We no longer do! He's simply not mean enough to children anymore. On Chunch Chat, we come to the conclusion that Martha absolutely manages her own social media accounts. Also, The Rock hasn't been completely honest with us. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Edward Dando," a thief who came to public notice in Britain because of his unusual habit of overeating at food stalls and inns, and then revealing that he had no money to pay. Although the fare he consumed was varied, he was particularly fond of oysters, having once eaten 25 dozen of them with a loaf and a half of bread with butter.
TV-B-Gone04 Sep 202301:00:48
Hello babies! Thank you for listening to Baby Geniuses, the Show for You. On this episode of Your Show, Lisa Went to the Beyoncé concert last night and her favorite moment of the evening surprisingly didn't involve the gigantic silver horse. Emily spied on a potential scabbing situation in her neighborhood and lived to tell about it. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "TV-B-Gone," a universal remote control device for turning off a large majority—about 85%—of the available brands of television sets in 2015. If you're listening to this in 2023, I can't make any promises about it's efficacy.
Nim Chimpsky13 Apr 202000:57:54

Hello babies!

We hope you and yours are healthy and handling things as well as can reasonably be expected! If you have the space, may we suggest taking up gardening?

On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Nim Chimpsky, a chimpanzee that didn't learn sign language.

Long-Time Nuclear Waste Warning Messages16 Mar 202000:55:33

Hello babies!

Please note this episode was recorded last weekend, some things have changed since then. Look at this episode as a fun short term time capsule! On this episode, we discuss our early and somewhat unsuccessful Coronavirus stockpiling, and Lisa and Emily endorse some products. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Long-time nuclear waste warning messages, which are are intended to deter human intrusion at nuclear waste repositories in the far future, within or above the order of magnitude of 10,000 years. Because we're not sure that "hey, don't touch this!" means in the future.

Hello babies!

Roy and Silo21 Aug 202301:08:03
Hello babies! this week, we're shining a light on fashion's seedy underbelly - this is a tale of plagiarism and deleted Instagram accounts. Emily takes on a local designer and lives to tell the tale. On Chunch Chat, we touch on the biggest Britney news story this week - she's horse shopping!!

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 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!

Curse Tablet19 Aug 201900:55:39

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. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Curse Tablet," one of the many ways our ancestors gave themselves lead poisoning. 

Manneken Pis05 Aug 201901:02:54

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!

Trash Talk/Flyting22 Jul 201900:56:56

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! 

Jizz (birding)07 Aug 202301:01:17
Hello babies! Summer is officially here, and we're on the hunt for the perfect place to sit! We don't want to talk about the big movie of the moment, so we're discussing an A24 horror flick and a farce book. On Chunch Chat, Martha shows off her hoses. No, that is not a typo. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Jizz (birding). No, that is not a typo. Emily and Lisa are expected to be world class Jizz Wailers by the time this episode is released.

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.

Lek Mating28 May 201901:01:03

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? 

John Titor13 May 201900:55:54

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.

On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for John Titor, a time traveling message board poster.

Seedfeeder29 Apr 201900:52:39

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. 

Planetary Mnemonic15 Apr 201900:49:17

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."

Hallowe'en is upon us, much akin to a cape upon Count Dracula himself! Emily and Lisa read some quesstioonnss from Twittterrrr (please read in a scary voice).
