88: How we learned about handwashing
April 10, 2024 08:00 - 35 minutes - 48.5 MBThe history of handwashing? It's way wilder than you think. Isabel is once again out of the country and/or concussed, which means Amanda is joined by her friends Caro and Andrea to talk about everyone's favorite 19th century handwashing accelerationist, Ignac Semmelweis. What does this have to do with the internet? Well, if you're going to go outside and touch grass (preferably while listening to this podcast), you're going to need to wash your hands when you come back inside. TW: medica...
87: Do you think MrBeast is happy?
March 27, 2024 10:00 - 51 minutes - 70.6 MBThe most successful internet creator of all time is a guy named Jimmy who locks people in grocery stores for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like him or not, MrBeast is such a fascinating figure in pop culture that we have become MrBeast anthropologists. Beastly scholars. Why do people like MrBeast so much? How does MrBeast (and the prizewinners in his videos) fit into the narrative of the American Dream, and how will that be exaggerated now that he has his own TV show? Is he even happy? A...
85: Wow if Two
March 14, 2024 09:10 - 1 hour - 88 MBIn this episode, we discuss the only thing congress can agree upon: yeeting Tiktok into the sun and away from the hands of America's youth. Also, the Iditarod and how to properly gut a moose, crypto perfume (question for the audience: what do YOU think crypto smells like?), and the mandatory Kate Middleton AI photograph discussion. Never say we're not on trend.
84: Marianne Williamson Beef (ft. Organizer Memes)
February 28, 2024 12:00 - 50 minutes - 42.4 MBThe sequel to Organizer Memes. It's throwback....Wednesday, and Organizer Memes is here talking with Amanda about memes and political organizing, three years later. Time is a flat circle. Joe Biden is running for president again (but this time, with meme merch). Speaking of meme merch, we've got a new portable hole mug. WOTC please no suing.
83: Communism or incompetence
January 31, 2024 10:34 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MBIn this episode: Isabel explains why she is glad she didn't win a Hugo this year (hint: there's niche community drama), Amanda gets philosophical about the Taylor Swift deepfake debacle and pisses off tech CEOs again, and all of us collectively ooh and aah at the miracle of brumation. Did we mention we have merch? And a Patreon?
82: Craving Hole
January 17, 2024 10:52 - 36 minutes - 36.5 MBIn this episode, we talk about hole. The ocean (and the world cruise floating on it) is a big hole. The Stanley cup is a small hole. The tunnels under the Chabad in Brooklyn? That's a medium size hole, baby. And this podcast? Well, it's a hole for your ears. Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Too bad, you've already fallen in.
81: Everybody is using panels
January 03, 2024 10:11 - 59 minutes - 57.7 MBHappy new year, which means happy public domain day! We talk about Steamboat Willie, our favorite (and least favorite) internet moments of 2023, how to eat crabs, etc. We play two (2) whole games, like Wow if Two Truths and a Lie and the now-annual public domain game! The Isabel book club! We sliced the meme!

80: Free Floss
December 20, 2023 10:00 - 52 minutes - 71.8 MBIn this episode: Iz is back, and the internet explodes. The worldwide cruise begins, publishing has another crisis, and the goat is eaten by birds. Some days nothing happens. Other days, everything happens. Welcome back to the two host experience. Now in apple cinnamon flavor.
79: Crab rave for Henry Kissinger
December 06, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 53.3 MBIn this episode: Isabel has a concussion and a cold at the same time, so Amanda does the podcast alone and has an existential crisis. While confronting her vulnerability and loneliness without her other podcasting half, Amanda tells you about Henry Kissinger death memes, weird fanfic theories, OpenAI drama, and crabs.

78: RIP Omegle
November 15, 2023 11:04 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MBIn this episode: we arrive at the conclusion that the internet is nothing if not AI and [redacted]. We are extremely sorry. We also regret to inform you that Omegle is dead, and Tumblr... Tumblr is not dead, but it's not necessarily thriving! Also, we have thoughts and opinions about Minnesota, an entity we normally have zero thoughts and opinions about.

77: Glassfall
November 01, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 26.8 MBIn this episode: Isabel has taken over, and now we are a narrative podcast about ghosts. Yes, halloween was yesterday. No, this is not a bit. Yes, this is a fully produced demo of a narrative podcast about a city on the mouth of hell and also, necromancy. Back to regular programming next episode! The voice of Emory is Andromeda, the voice of Isaac is Isabel, the voice of Annette is Bryan/Ultralord from Jimmy Neutron, and the voice of Commissioner Yarrow is Quest. Music by Joc. Writing by Isa...
76: The Horrors
October 19, 2023 01:23 - 49 minutes - 36.7 MBIn this episode: we are experiencing the full spectrum of human experience -- homestuck, dystopian corporate therapy, and baseball. Also, Iz explains the state of wizard fiction pre-Hugo Awards, and Amanda talks about why the internet isn't fun anymore. But you know what IS fun? Podcasts. Specifically ours. Also the Philadelphia Phillies.
75: Locked in a Grocery Store
October 04, 2023 12:42 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MBIn this episode, we learn about men who don't use plates and girls who do special math. Amanda went to Vidcon and met a really famous dog, and also some famous people. Iz read a 94 page contract (aka, the results of the WGA strike). Look mom, we're finally content creators.
74: Sad Beige Men in Sad Beige Rooms
September 20, 2023 11:00 - 50 minutes - 36.4 MBIn this episode: we're on a time limit before this terrible drink melts all over Iz's desk, so start listening before it's too late! Also, celebrity auction normal experience, regular amounts of roman empire thinking, and whether eating lunch is sad. Also Techno Mechanicus, Stoner Cats NFT Securities Fraud, and HBO girls (Amanda sings). Wow! None of of these words are in the bible!
73: The Clown is Back
September 06, 2023 13:36 - 46 minutes - 34.4 MBIsabel jumpscares Amanda with a clown (sorry, this is spoilers, but it’s important), Amanda experiences sports (derogatory), and we talk about all the week's hottest trending topics... You know, like Baldurs Gate 3, One Piece, and 70,000 people trapped in a mud pit. (Also, sorry about the couple of glitches in Iz’s audio. This is the clown’s fault)
72: Taco Bell Law
August 09, 2023 10:00 - 59 minutes - 81.9 MBThis is definitely legal advice (but not from Iz). Taco Bell is getting sued, MrBeast is suing (and then also being sued), and we're mostly just here to talk about why Amanda has never had a Crunchwrap Supreme. Also: Love is Blind, Tiktok designer feuds, and the Jonas Brothers' second act as venture capitalists.
71: Barbenheimer
July 26, 2023 09:30 - 1 hour - 94.1 MBIsabel goes to see Barbenheimer and declares Barbie a science fiction/fantasy movie. Amanda gets a podcast dungeon. Your intrepid hosts also wade into tree law and "girl dinner." I must mention again that I have a podcast dungeon now. At some points, a baby is crying in Isabel's hallway, which you can hear, because she does not have a podcast dungeon. We mention in the episode when we get into Barbenheimer spoilers -- that continues until 39:45. We also talk about the "girl dinner" tren...
70: Podcasting Hubris
July 12, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBIz has taken over, and Amanda is so powerful that she had to be replaced by six different guests. We're talking about: sharing perpetual stew with 50 strangers in a park in Brooklyn (yes, this is internet related); reading 365 books in 365 days (bad idea); and new forms of divination (unfortunately, feet related). Thanks to Tracey, Max, David, Emily, and Allison for experiencing podcasting!
69: Nice [LIVE!]
June 28, 2023 10:14 - 43 minutes - 59.3 MBIt's our longawaited 69th episode, dedicated to the history of the 69 meme. But also we're on an island with our 30 closest friends, many of whom are in the room (cabin) with us today! After we enlighten you with our deep dive into 69 history, our live cabin audience will dazzle you with stories from the island, including egg drop drama, wizard LARPing, and the spooky thing Isabel saw.

68: Love your "pink object"
June 07, 2023 09:47 - 47 minutes - 35.8 MBIn this episode: Amanda tries to break Snapchat's AI by showing it... objects... that increasingly look more like... an eggplant emoji. Iz explains the connection between omegaverse, Ron DeSantis, and AI writing. Honestly, this is appropriate as all hell for the leadup to episode 69, our long-awaited magnum opus.
67: Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood
May 17, 2023 11:06 - 49 minutes - 67.4 MBWe're waiting for our own Bigolas Dickolas moment. Unfortunately, this isn't the episode for that, because Amanda talks about which Jeopardy Master showed feet, and Isabel ranks all her dnd characters by rizz. Yes, we have lost the plot. And the time war. But hey, at least we follow more than 30 women on twitter (now you have to listen for context, here's how Wow if True can still win.)

66: Skeets, Tweets
May 03, 2023 09:34 - 1 hour - 45 MBIn this episode, we're skeeting all over the place, because sometimes, everything happens everywhere all at once. By that we mean: dril vs. Elon ultimate showdown (of ultimate destiny), bluesky (aka twitter 2) vs twitter (aka twitter 1), and Amanda vs. the mortifying ordeal of meeting Hank Green.

65: Manic Pixie Dream Luigi
April 19, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 56.3 MBIn this episode: Both hosts are in the same place! And that place is...Amanda's living room floor. Lots of reviews this week: Barbie trailer, Mario movie, Philly's new-ish conveyer belt sushi joint, and Amanda's apartment decor. Not everything has to be a fucking ordeal. Sometimes things can just be movies.
64: Anime girl tax prep dating sim
April 05, 2023 10:35 - 50 minutes - 69.8 MBMSCHF has anime girl tax preparation software, Brandon Sanderson has a wizard supervillain lair, and Amanda has unsubstantiated hot takes about sports. Really. C’mon sport, let’s watch the big game. And by the big game, I mean, let’s get our taxes done by dating an anime girl.

63: AP Artificial Intelligence
March 22, 2023 09:51 - 56 minutes - 42.2 MBWe recommend making yourself a cheese toast before listening so that you don't get hungry for cheese toast, because we're talking about a 60-year-old retiree's cheese toast Facebook group. Also: SVB and the internet's reaction to SVB melting, FTX influencer lawsuits, and why English majors will inherit the earth. And no, we don't talk about the SAT for 30 minutes. No, seriously, our editor cut that bit. You're welcome. Links Cheese Toast: https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/15/a-retirees-gr...
62: AI, Ass, American Girl Doll
March 08, 2023 11:02 - 1 hour - 50.6 MBIn this episode, we discuss scifi magazines getting spammed by AI submissions (ironic, yes, we know), we talk with Jess (@whyjesswhyjess) about 1.2 million people seeing her naked, be-tatttoo'ed butt on twitter, and Iz's mom buys her an American Girl Doll even though she is twenty-seven. Normal Wednesday morning for Wow If True. Tattoo butt posting: https://twitter.com/WhyJessWhyJess/status/1627230364623335429
61: Digital Archives & Metabirkins (ft. Allison Mills)
February 22, 2023 11:01 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MBReal life archivist (and our editor!) Allison Mills tells us how we preserve the internet, prompting Amanda to have an existential crisis about memory. Then, we return to the "maybe NFTs are bad, actually" corner with an update on Metabirkins, the overpriced NFTs of the overpriced handbags, which met their fateful end in an historic court ruling.

60: We have merch now
February 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 48.1 MBWe have merch now. But also we talk about events like the shutdown of twenty-year-old forum Stripperweb, that Seinfeld AI thing, the Korean spa, Brandon Sanderson, and how Amanda is now close personal friends with Brennan Lee Mulligan. Sort of. Also how the internet is simultaneously permanent and ephemeral at the same time and that's really a mindfuck, isn't it!? Most importantly, buy our merch.

59: Dungeons & Dragons & Donkey
January 25, 2023 11:00 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MBWell folks, there's no getting around it, this one's mostly about D&D. AKA the OGL two, sequel to OGL, 2 OGL 2 furious, dropped ten hours before we recorded and so of course we have to talk about copyright, derivative content, and how not to alienate your entire fanbase with one simple trick. Also, Shrek is there. Also, the pink sauce is back. You're welcome! Links D&D Creative Commons: https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/12/dungeons-and-dragons-ogl-wizards-of-the-coast/ Did Shrek name him...
58: Wow if Two Truths and a Lie (ft. Eric Silver)
January 11, 2023 11:34 - 44 minutes - 33.6 MBIt's our first episode of 2023, and that can only mean one thing: it's time to talk about new entries to the public domain! Noted Gamesman™ Eric Silver stopped by to play some games to honor the absurd internet stories of the year, but already, the new year is just as absurd as the last. To quote the undead indie romance writer Susan Meachen, let the fun begin!

57: Welcome, robot overlords!
December 14, 2022 10:00 - 50 minutes - 45.2 MBThis week, ChatGPT and Lensa AI each took over the internet, which begs the question: why is the AI always so horny? Amanda and Isabel go back and forth between talking about grief and the social implications of AI art way too quickly. Isabel rode on a bike cab blasting Numa Numa through New York City. Amanda went to a live comedy show based on a meme page. Everything is fine.
56: Goncharov (1973)
November 30, 2022 11:16 - 36 minutes - 27.5 MBIn this special episode, Isabel and Amanda discuss the greatest mafia movie ever made.
55: Rat Verified
November 16, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 44.9 MBIn this episode, we talk to Alex Cohen AKA tiny snek comics AKA the mastermind behind being rat verified on twitter, which is superior to regular verified, because you don’t pay $8 and you also get a rat. But hey, if you’re really thirsting for that blue checkmark, tumblr’s got you covered—they’ll give you two, and it even comes with crabs. Also a guy in Philly ate 40 rotisserie chickens, and Jamie-Lee Josselyn explains why this is a sport. PETA’s going to have fun with this one.
54.20: Rahul Ligma
November 02, 2022 10:00 - 51 minutes - 70.6 MBIt happened: Elon Musk ordered that thing from Amazon late at night and then it arrived at his home and it wasn't what he expected but it was too late to return it. In other words, he owns Twitter now, but we'd rather not talk about the implications of that. Instead, let's talk about the memes spawned from this historic transaction. Also, we talk about the lawsuit surrounding Disco Elysium. May the pale wash away Elon & ZA/UM's sins. Find Us Online Twitter: https://twitter.com/wowiftrue...
53: Mario thought experiment
October 19, 2022 22:17 - 45 minutes - 36.3 MBEveryone in this episode has experienced yoga, and now they're experiencing Mario. We do a full legal analysis on the legality of editing the Mario movie to remove Chris Pratt, talk about how to deal with getting recognized in real life, and iz explains which situations necessitate the removal of a wizard. Also, Amanda has a great Mario voice - if anyone's hiring.
52: Wifeguy stocks tank
October 05, 2022 14:50 - 37 minutes - 28.6 MBIn this episode: everyone is very regular on the internet! Just kidding. Wifeguy stocks tank. Amanda succeeds in our original goal of going viral. Iz gets asked about weed while wearing a blazer at an MCR concert. Look, it's been a week. We're all doing our best, but at least our best isn't delivering a resume cake to the Nike office.

September 21, 2022 05:58 - 52 minutes - 40.4 MBYou have questions, we have answers. We talk about how the pod is going, mundane super powers, influencer animals, internet art, good books, and whether we would fuck, marry or kill Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

49: Minionese Duolingo
August 24, 2022 10:32 - 47 minutes - 65.3 MBIsabel saw the Minions movie. Amanda became obsessed with Minion linguistics. Stephen King testified in court. Jennette McCurdy talked about trauma. The internet thought she talked about Ariana Grande. 26 of Isabels closest friends rented an island. Maybe the real minions were the friends we made along the way. This episodes was edited by David Newtown (get well soon Allison!!!). It was also posted from The Island. It is Day 5 and nobody has died (yet).
48: Lost in the (pink) sauce
July 27, 2022 11:31 - 57 minutes - 43.8 MBThis week, one of our hosts is finally, officially a lawyer! And the other knows too much about the pink sauce scandal. What's the pink sauce, you might ask? That's a great question. We'd also love to know what's in it. Also, Big Publishing™ is trying to sue the Internet Archive, and our Actual Lawyer™ tells us why we should care. Finally, we are entranced by the epic highs and lows of the Upper East Side french bulldog community. Links Libro.fm: use code WOW at checkout to ge...
47: The pull out method
July 13, 2022 10:00 - 51 minutes - 39.6 MBAre the brands okay? Is anyone ever okay? Is RadioShack, specifically, okay? Is Elon pulling out (of Twitter, we mean, get your head out of the gutter)? Who are the Gentleminions? Did Hank Green steal a lemur? And most importantly: what did Amanda eat at VidCon?

45: Into the Morbiverse
June 15, 2022 10:00 - 53 minutes - 42.4 MBIn this episode: Not going to sugarcoat it, this is a Morbius centric experience. We also discuss taco bell quarterly (a literary magazine unaffiliated with taco bell), disney adults, and Glossier's CEO stepping down, but who cares about that: it's morbin' time.
44: Ask an extremely online doctor anything (ft. Dr. Emily Temple-Wood)

43: Vampire Gerard Way, Esq.
May 18, 2022 10:01 - 46 minutes - 35.1 MBIn this episode, we embrace the goth lifestyle and go back to basics. That is to say, we read Dracula. Daily. Along with 25,000+ people. It's a long story, okay. Also My Chemical Romance is back and half the hosts are excited about this, and it's not the half you'd think. Sometimes the internet is just a vehicle to embrace your inner emo kid, and sometimes it's a vehicle to lose a lot of money in a crypto meltdown. These are definitely equivalent things.

42: Oh no, not another Elon podcast!
May 04, 2022 09:52 - 46 minutes - 34.9 MBSorry for talking about Elon Musk again, but in our defense, he should stop doing things like "having a secret baby with Grimes" and "spending $44B on Twitter." That's right, Elon "Tesla stock at $420" Musk is likely buying Twitter, and meanwhile, you could briefly 420blazeit on Tumblr. On the bright side, at least the Destiel/political event nexus is still active? Links A timeline of the Elon saga: https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/24/elon-musk-twitter-offer-timeline/ About Us ...

March 02, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 41.5 MBWe are a shining beacon of 2009 fandom in these trying times. Chill vibes only on the pod as very online playwright Alexa Derman stops by to tell us about "Big Fanfic Piece," a digital play in which her friends performed her 2009 fanfiction.net profile, which she deleted after being featured in a list of "worst Twilight fanfics." Also, we have to talk about HPMOR. And then we tell you Iz's twelve year old fanfiction.net account username, which we are sure everyone really wanted to know. ...
