Beth & Meg &...

Politics, culture, history, crazy family stories - high brow or low, it's all fair game. Hosted by Bethany Jones and Megan Johnson, this is the program where two sisters discuss anything, everything, and nothing in particular until way past their bed time without Dad yelling to "keep it down in there!".

Beth & Meg & a Big Stick 01/04/2019

Beth & Meg & a Big Stick It's the new year and it is time to discuss the tyranny of children's birthday parties, what movies we saw over the holiday break, and why Theodore Roosevelt was right about carrying a big stick. Also, what book we would be sworn into Congress with, our new favorite media figure, and really poorly thought out videos that hit the internet this week. And then we fix immigration. Just kidding. /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/8140280

Beth & Meg & the Plus Side 12/21/2018

Beth & Meg & Reply All 12/14/2018

Beth & Meg & Reply All It's been a few weeks but we are back in business, reliving our lovely Thanksgiving celebration, gearing up for the craziness of Christmas, and lamenting the fact that people think we are so cool (snort, snort!). Also, what the state of Utah needs learn from Megan, why we are all speciests, and our offer to the Academy Awards. Oh, and Shane makes an unexpected appearance (tee-tee!)! #learntosayno #restingchurchface #funeralpotatoes #minionoftheantichrist #amusebouche /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/7913981

Also where we want to spend our eternal slumber, how we flaunt our bling, and our requirements to sail on Titanic 2. Finally, why Nebraska is the best state ever. And, by the way, the election is still not over in Arizona. #danieltiger #breakingnews #friends #flauntmywealth #drzhivago #codegrandma #wheredoyouspreadthem #titanic2 #BillyZane #cremebruleepotatoes /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/7506515

Beth & Meg & 23andMe 10/05/2018

Beth & Meg & 23andMe So it's the episode where we finally show how badly we missed the STEM education boat. We reveal the results of our 23andMe results and delve into the dark recesses of our DNA in a way that would make Watson and Crick cry. Also Megan makes a startling discovery about her own chromosomes that will shake you to the core. With laughter. #23andMe /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/7105321

Beth & Meg & Some Lovely Recommendations 09/27/2018

Beth & Meg & Some Lovely Recommendations With our long break away, it's been awhile since we've discussed books and movies and we need to remedy this.

Beth & Meg & Finding Our Happy Place Again 09/12/2018

Beth & Meg & Finding Our Happy Place Again You thought you were rid of us but we are like a bad penny and past indiscretions on Facebook - we always turn up. To get back into the swing of things we talk Supreme Court nominations, the passing of John McCain, and why NPR owes the ninja community a BIG apology. Also, hear the breakdown of what we really want in a man (bon chicka wow wow). Never has spacial awareness and cord wrapping been so sexy... And apologies, Bethany meant Merrick Garland and not Neal Gorsuch. AMATEUR!#botulismisourjam #bravenewworld #Hadleys #Tillamook #thanksObama #kindergartenkills #myprivatehell #throwthevellum /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/7039450

Beth & Meg & Proof of Life 04/27/2018

Beth & Meg & Proof of Life It's been awhile but we are back, baby! We have so much to catch up on including current events so incredible they might even be considered UN-credible, Bethany and her beef with Sam Worthington, and the newest addition to the Royal Family. Also the most quotable movies, a delicious food that needs a new name, and how the USA has a bone to pick with UNESCO. #glassify #avengersassemble #mendnets #jamfirst #teamJustin #teamEmmanuel #webroughtfrysauce #dadjeans #dothebustle #takethephysicalchallenge /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6531129

Beth & Meg & PyeongChang 2018 03/02/2018

Beth & Meg & PyeongChang 2018 The Winter Olympics are done and it is time to hash it all out and see if they have inspired us to get on that treadmill gathering dust in the corner (yeah, no). The highs, the lows, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, it was all there in South Korea for us to behold. Also, a discussion on school shootings in America.#bigmoney #pyeongchang2018 #USOC #USCurling #leanin /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6322753

Beth & Meg & New Orleans 02/08/2018

Beth & Meg & New Orleans This week we have a few suggestions for the Super Bowl halftime that involves less camouflage and a different JT, bemoan Facebook constantly reminding us of our age, and get hung up on which one of Anne Hathaway's princess role's Bethany is thinking of. We discuss the best songs to sing in the car, the greatest comedic movie of all time, and the passing of one of the greatest comedic television actors of the '90s. Finally we discuss the new love of our lives, the beautiful and magical city of New Orleans. #control #missjacksonifyourenasty #mcconaugheynow #johnmahoney #squarespace #Tishismyspiritanimal #standtightstandstrong#cafebeignet #tujagues #shaya #italianbarrel #courtoftwosisters #restaurantaugust #snugharborjazzbistro #preservationhalljazzband #columbiahouse #Godwasinthatjazzhall #nationalworldwar2museum #Frenchquarterphantoms #oakalleyplantation #whitneyplantation #faulknerhousebooks #neworleans #nola #mardigras /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6240675

Beth & Meg & Derek & The Last Jedi 01/25/2018

Beth & Meg & Derek & The Last Jedi SPOILER ALERT!!! While a little less relevant than this would have been a few weeks ago, we are here to discuss the latest installment of Star Wars, "The Last Jedi". Little brother Derek joins us on our annual jaunt through the world of lightsabers, impossible odds, and blatant product placement. #OJinspace #whoisRey #MrsWiggins #beerpong #mustbeinProvo #ReyRodhamRen #JediMindTrick #teenpregnancy #TheLastJedi /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6171227

Beth & Meg & Insanity 01/11/2018

Beth & Meg & Insanity It's 2018, y'all, and we go straight up controversial as we discuss snarky Christmas decor judging, why College Football needs to get its act together, and how Medieval Times is eschewing historical accuracy ("WENCH, BRING ME A FLAGON OF DIET PEPSI!") for girl power. Also, we ask for prayers for a man who may quickly regret his invitation to hang out with us, discuss which HOA might want to tighten up some of its regulations, and realize for how many reasons we could be admitted to an insane asylum... in West Virginia... in the 1860s... #fahrenheitforthewin #Oprah2020 #yougetataxbreakandyougetataxbreak #UCF #slowclap #valentinesdayatmedievaltimes #winchestercathedral #prayersforShane #mahalo #12thman #fireforeffect #dontbeawoman /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6136607

Beth & Meg & Happy Holidays 12/21/2017

Beth & Meg & Happy Holidays Ho ho ho (WHAT'D YOU CALL US?!?!), and Merry, Happy, whatever it is you do or do not celebrate this time of year. We discuss a few things that appear on either Santa's naughty or nice list - things such as surgery-inducing tacos, the ethics of Amazon Prime, and the tyranny of teacher gifts. Also, why Bethany is afraid to open her gift from her daughter, why microphones should have a restraining order against Matt Damon, and why Broadway is causing us to lose sleep. Lastly, when movie franchises break up their leads, when five year olds take the law into their own hands, why anyone chooses to be a confederate in Civil War reenactments, and crazy Christmas music. #chicostacos #amazonprime #knowyourplace #netneutrality #theoffice #netflix #kingkong #bradpitt #loveneverdiesunlessweneedasequel #thegrinch #minihandcuffs #phasersonbuckshot #foodismylovelanguage /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6079309

Beth & Meg & Lobo 12/07/2017

Beth & Meg & Lobo Apparently we've ruffled some feathers, but what else is new? This week we prove how cultured we are as we discuss our literary peers and Megan shows off her command of useless languages. We clue you in on the rules of Mormon cussing, why for her safety Bethany should save all the bubble wrap she is getting from Amazon, and what Kiwi(?) motorcycle-riding 80's heartthrob we have spent far too much time imitating. Also, we discover our Dad's spirit animal. /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/6021272

Beth & Meg & Thanksgiving 11/23/2017

Beth & Meg & Thanksgiving A very Happy THANKSGIVING to all of you! If you are looking for topics to fight over with your crazy relatives whilst picking at a wishbone - look no further! We talk clashes of idiot titans, what first base really means, and imagine what kind of food truck Will Smith would roll up in. Also, unfortunate last names, unfortunate (?) mascot names, and unfortunate costume choices. And we teach you the exact formula for getting out of legal trouble without the need to pay for an attorney. Trust us, it's a gas. #eattrumpsgold #shadowsandcontours #chefjeff #gofightingphoenixes #themichelobofchampagnes #strangerthings2 #feedmeggie #kegelit #pleadthefifth #silentbutviolent #theforceisstrongwiththisone #runfortheborder #squeezethecheese #leatherseats /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5969177

Beth & Meg & The Good Part 11/09/2017

Beth & Meg & The Good Part It's been awhile but we're back, baby! If you've been missing conversations about medieval wildcats, intercontinental musical theater challenges, and casting changes at "The Phantom of the Opera" you are in luck. We talk efficiency vs. romance, how Michael Flatley should be known as the Lord of the Gridiron, and why 90's flashes in the pan might want to avoid Montreal. #macbeth #calahanautoparts #chapter7 #idliketothanktheacademy #takemetothegoodpart #condorman #thisisunseemly #cubangoddess /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5926515

Beth & Meg & The Old Lady Card 10/19/2017

Beth & Meg & The Old Lady Card Yes, it appears we are victims of our own success as we ponder the wisdom of Marilyn Monroe with regards to Harvey Weinstein, debate the singular/plural state of the word pant(s), and weep over inappropriate Halloween costumes. Listen as we describe Megan's hidden talent, rail against kids these days, and finish by fully embracing our old lady cards by shaking our canes against the government. #comebackShane #namenames #projectrunway #niblets #getponed #lunchladyland #loveisglutenfree #shutitdown #brownielovin #allyouneedisloveandoatmealandraisins #strangerthings #ustoo /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5857160

Beth & Meg & Pajama Day 10/05/2017

Beth & Meg & Pajama Day We are in full on 'jama day mood, since nothing in the world seems to be able to convince us to put on pants right now. Yes, we talk some of the tough stuff of this week, but then we get onto topics that make us happy to be members of the human race. Hear us talk about the greatest first date story of all time, why the Department of Homeland Security has it's eye on Megan's house, and her channelling of Dr. Ian Malcom in a way even Goldblum can't achieve. We tell the secret to the best halloween ever, how movies change when you get a mortgage, and pop culture that will depress the heck out of you. #cavemarket #LVStrong #rocketmanbooyah #glibbest #NFL #postsecret #firstamendment #willandgrace #number2earlytotell #ladyofthelake #sciencewins #jurassicpark #getoveryourselfbelle #marytoddshecray #kohls /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5805948

Beth & Meg & Things We Can't Unsee 09/07/2017

Beth & Meg & Things We Can't Unsee We know, we know, we've been gone a long time, but we are back and stronger than ever! Yes, we say goodbye to summer and one of us gets to say hello to autumn. We discover why Canadians are just a happier people, why Taylor Swift is not, and why everyone at Wal-mart should be afraid... very afraid. Also, why you should be concerned if an elderly Scotsman asks if you'd like to see his haggis, why we are sick of Kate Middleton, and how to start off your marriage with a RIDICULOUS amount of pressure. Lastly, we discuss how teeth capping makes the multi-million dollar man and dream of the day when the all female version of "Delta Force" becomes a reality. #flintandsteel #sweaterweather #itsadryheat #fatcorner #teammaple #lifegoal #kimandkanyearetherationalones #igottarapaboutit #popgoesmyheart #amazonprimethatmess #everydayimshuffling #ROI #equallyyoked #worksmartnothard #vivelefrance #GBBO #findyourownthingMako #tomcruisesteeth #literally #mermanpop /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5715236

Beth & Meg & Dunkirk 08/10/2017

Beth & Meg & Dunkirk Are Cactus Coolers as good as we remember them? How about Pizzeria chips? These are the questions that plague as us as discuss meeting your 90's food heroes. Also, the indescribable joy of a book order form, why you might want to hire us for your next soiree, and why the upcoming eclipse will be the most patriotic ever. Also, bad marketing stunts, why we won't be moving to San Francisco anytime soon, and the real reason Megan beat breast cancer. #pepperidgefarm #andyserkisneedsanOscar #somethingisrotteninthestateofDenmark #doucheydane #lifetimehallpass #warfortheplanetoftheapes #dunkirk /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5628946

Beth & Meg & The Outsiders 07/27/2017

Beth & Meg & The Outsiders Listen as we regale you with tales of the odor-rific vacation from which we just returned (Scentsy, have we got an idea for you!), discuss why we now want to see Ryan Lochte race a shark, and mull over a career opportunity we had never before considered. Also, disappointing cameos, when wedding dances almost kill, and then discuss the classic book and film The Outsiders. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! #bearlake #WEWANTLOCHTE #poundofflesh #sallystrutherstaughtmetv/vcrrepair #theoutsiders #squatchwatch #getthefunkoff #staygold /episode/index/show/bethandmegand/id/5585403
