How To Survive Blood Loss & Losing Your Place In School with Dave Holmes

Danielle and Kristine learn how to survive massive blood loss, and at last, our friend Dave Holmes makes his debut to tell us about the time he got kicked out of college.

There's a big shake-up in the Real Housewives universe, and Danielle & Kristine are positively giddy that style icon Jenna Lyons is joining the RHONY cast. In another Bravo news, something called BravoCon exists, and Garon watches it. Next year, we plan to have press passes.

Breaking news, The Watcher is also a 2000 film starring James Spader, Marisa Tomei, and Keanu Reeves. If the dialogue from the trailer is any indication, this looks like the best kind of "so bad it's good" movie to watch as a comedy after ingesting a weed gummy.

Since we are approaching Halloween weekend, there is one more Watcher, if you can believe it. This is a 2022 film, rated 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. Kristine watched it with a pal, and they thought it was okay. Here's the trailer.

Because it's SPOOKY SEASON (why is this a thing now?), we are keeping things creepy, and our topic was blood loss.

Danielle had many cool facts on how much blood a person can lose and still live. Kristine and Danielle thought bloodletting could be a good option for Danielle, but it turns out it is not that safe! Speaking of bloodletting, do you know this story about George Washington?

We are nothing, if not current, with our pop culture references. Check out this classic SNL sketch Danielle mentioned, and not for those who feel faint at the sight of blood.

Once we all learned how much blood we should not lose (more than 40%), it was storytime! Danielle told the story of Ashley Byrnes, who nearly died from PPH (Post Partum Hemmorage) in 2017. Here is her harrowing story.

Then it was time for the guest that needed no introduction, the multitalented and hilarious Dave Holmes! He told a fantastic story about his experience flailing at his small Catholic university in the 90s. You can enjoy Dave in various ways, and we encourage you to do so. His book, Party of One, is an NPR’s Great Reads and an Esquire‘s Best Books.
