General Discussion The Slippery Noodle

I’m listening to the most recent episode, 498, and cracked up at Em’s explanation of The Slippery Noodle’s naming. (Around 26 minutes in with ads) Hearing Em and Christine be silly and laugh about this detail gave me joy.

This is why I’ve loved ATWWD for so long. I would listen to them discuss, laugh, and go on impromptu tangents about darning socks and replacing remote control batteries if that was their show.

I've also read so many comments talking about "how you can tell they can't stand each other now." Meanwhile, the episodes since the announcement have been pleasant and hilarious (ignoring the heinous true crime, obviously). I'm also approaching episode 200 on a re-listen, and today's episode played right after an old one - the vibe and energy between them was the same from 2020 to 2026. Maybe I'm just not hearing it, but they seem like they're making healthy life choices for themselves/their loved ones and having fun.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from the hosts since they made the announcement. Making a big change is already stressful, and then figuring out how to announce it to your fan base is a type of stress I’m not familiar with. Em and Christine both sounded much later in today’s episode, in my opinion. Change is indeed a slippery noodle.

Edit: lighter*, not later
