“All the Baseball Bats I Can Find” | Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse

Author: My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts October 30, 2025 Duration: 46:17

How long do you think you could survive in a zombie apocalypse? One minute? One week? One year? Forever? This week, in honor of the spookiest of holidays, Stephanie and Melissa discuss how to become more better at existing in a hypothetical world riddled with the living dead. Join our sort-of fearless hosts as they discuss their favorite zombie movies, ponder about which vehicle would mow down hoards of brain-eaters the most effectively and debate the extremely important question: Would you rather fight one zombie horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized zombies? Plus, we get into the origin of the modern George Romero zombie, rooted in Haitian Vodou. Happy Halloween!

You know that conversation you have with your closest friend, the one that swings from deeply personal struggles to absurd observations about a grocery store encounter? That’s the space More Better with Stephanie & Melissa occupies every week. Real-life friends and actors Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, known for their roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, bring their authentic, hilarious, and supportive dynamic straight to your ears. This isn’t a structured advice show; it’s the sound of two amigas figuring it out as they go, and inviting you along for the ride. They tackle the messy, beautiful, and often ridiculous aspects of modern life-from parenting and career pivots to cultural identity and just getting through the day. The heart of this podcast is in their unwavering friendship, where they genuinely help each other navigate challenges, aiming for that “more better” version of themselves. Listeners are essentially eavesdropping on a priceless, laughter-filled phone call where the cheat codes for adulting are shared alongside vulnerable confessions and uncontrollable giggles. Produced by My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts, the show lives in the rich intersection of Society and Culture, exploring how personal stories connect to bigger pictures. Tune in for a weekly dose of camaraderie that feels like a much-needed hangout, guaranteed to leave you feeling a bit more seen and a lot more better.
