This week’s word is Leftovers, and oh do we feast. Cara opens with confessions from 25 years in restaurant life - why hot food tastes “wrong,” how to resurrect any meal with eggs, and the sacred art of cold pizza. Kimberly reveals her neurospicy eating timeline (five temperatures, one meal), her lifelong indifference to cheese, her devotion to guacamole, and the fridge-whiteboard hack that saves her from discovering new penicillin strains.

Then we go deeper: the other leftovers...Skills we abandoned. Emotions stored in muscles. Traumas marinating like next-day chili. Cara introduces a new therapeutic modality that maps where memories live based on eye movement (and Kimberly chimes in with the actor’s version of internalizing those signals). We wrap with a chat about how our brains organize information - from Google Docs to tab placement - and why none of it is “just you.”

It’s cozy, chaotic, curious, and a little hungry - classic Neurospicy Dialogues energy.

The word de jour is Beginnings, and oh did it open a portal. Join Cara and Kimberly as they unpack “New Year, New You” BS, grief as hormone-soup reality, political whiplash, why perfectionism is a trap, how kids process death (and call you “halfway to dead”), and the neurospicy comfort of rewatching the same movie three times. A funny, soulful, no-apologies episode about starting where you actually are.

The Dino Cup delivered a banger today: Taboo. What starts with the board game quickly spirals into childhood swear-word shock, George Carlin, South Park chaos, Boy George’s Taboo musical, and why puppets can get away with anything (looking at you, Avenue Q). Cara and Kimberly unpack shifting cultural rules, free-speech myths, and the neurospicy experience of hearing electricity, smelling memories, and downloading entire conversations like whale song. Equal parts laughter, insight, and “did they just say that?” - this episode dances on the boundary line... in a red dress.
