Only If You Can Keep Up

Ash & Lynn

Ever wonder what happens when two best friends with ADHD start talking? Neither do we. One random thought turns into another, and before we know it we’re discussing haunted places, weird history, bizarre facts, true crime, strange traditions, internet rabbit holes, and whatever else hijacks our brains that week. We laugh a lot, interrupt each other, lose our train of thought, find it again… sometimes. If you love the creepy, the curious, the weird, and conversations that never stay on the rails, pull up a chair. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you… you’ll have to keep up

Vampire or werewolf? Asylum or haunted hospital? And somehow, those aren’t even the hardest choices.

Collective Hysteria: When Fear Becomes Contagious
Can fear actually spread from person to person? In this episode, we're diving into the bizarre world of collective hysteria, when groups of people begin experiencing the same fears, symptoms, or behaviors, sometimes without a clear physical cause. From strange historical outbreaks and community-wide panics to cases that have happened much more recently, we're looking at just how powerful group behavior can become. What causes these events to start? How do they spread so quickly? And what happens when fear, expectation, and the people around us begin influencing what we experience? We're exploring some of the strangest cases of collective hysteria... tune in! Send us Fan Mail Be sure to follow, rate, and share Only If You Can Keep Up!

Do You Have a Voice in Your Head? | Inner Monologue & How We Think
When you think, do you actually hear a voice in your head? Can you have full conversations with yourself? Do you see pictures instead, or is your mind completely quiet? In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating world of inner monologue and the different ways people experience their own thoughts. We talk about what it's like inside our own heads, mental imagery, thinking in words versus pictures, ADHD brains, and the surprising realization that other people's minds may work VERY differently from your own.

Things That Don't Feel Real
The world is full of things we've accepted as completely normal... but when you really stop and think about them, they sound absolutely ridiculous. From volcanoes and octopuses to artificial intelligence and smartphones, some of the most ordinary parts of life seem like they belong in a science fiction movie.

The Timelines That Will Break Your Brain
History doesn't always happen the way we picture it. We tend to imagine different eras neatly separated into chapters, but the truth is much stranger. Did you know cowboys and the Victorian Era existed at the same time? Or that the last woolly mammoths were still alive while the pyramids were already ancient? In this episode, we're exploring some of history's most surprising timeline overlaps that completely change the way we think about the past. From famous people who could have met to civilizations, inventions, and events that existed side by side, prepare for plenty of "Wait... what?!" moments. History is a lot weirder than it gets credit for... only if you can keep up! Send us Fan Mail Be sure to follow, rate, and share Only If You Can Keep Up!

Childhood Was Actually Kind of Creepy
This week we're taking a trip back to childhood... and realizing it was way creepier than we remembered. From strange TV shows that we probably had no business watching, to toys that seemed a little too alive, we're talking about all the things that gave us the creeps growing up. We dive into tv shows and movies that we were WAY to young to watch, but no one seemed to care! And they toys.. furry, tickle me Elmo, and owning the entire collection of goosebumps books at the mere age of like 10. We also reminisce about childhood places that felt a little off. If you ever got nervous when a toy started talking by itself, stayed up all night after watching a spooky episode, or felt like the animatronics were staring directly into your soul, this episode is for you. Come relive the weird, creepy, and surprisingly unsettling side of growing up in the '90s and early 2000s. Send us Fan Mail Be sure to follow, rate, and share Only If You Can Keep Up!

Porch Talk | May 2026
Porch Talk is back and this one spirals beautifully. Do you ever have the problem when every terrible thing seems to happen all at once?? WE DO! Then we get into the school system, how technology is making kids less independent instead of smarter, and why it feels like common sense is slowly leaving the world. Wrapping the episode up with a true crime story that is genuinely awful. It’s chaotic, opinionated, slightly existential, and always all over the place.

The Dark Origins of Fairy Tales
Fairy tales were never really made for kids… and this week we’re proving it. We’re digging into the eerie world of Grimm fairy tales, the darker versions hidden behind the stories we grew up hearing, and why so many of them feel more cursed than comforting. It’s strange, creepy, violent, and honestly kind of fascinating that they took crazy morbid tales and turned them into stories that we now love.

Normal Then. Unbelievable Now.
This week we’re diving into all the things society changed without us even knowing. From the days of whispering on a cellphone in public like you were handling government secrets… to now hearing someone’s full FaceTime breakup in the cereal aisle. We’re talking about the weird shift in what used to be considered rude, normal, embarrassing, or completely unacceptable. From feral restaurant kids and people blasting videos at full volume, to having full conversations via bluetooth very loudly in the grocery store parking lot, and the slow death of public shame… when exactly did everything change? Pull up a chair while we spiral through modern behavior, old social rules, and the little things that make us all internally scream in public.
