A silly question has emerged from the crypts this time around! This episode ponders a deeply held curiosity... about Superman's digestive system. When he drops the kids off at the pool, does the porcelain throne explode? When his stomach disposes of the evidence, how much disappears? Are Kryptonian gut germs adapted to Earth?

This week, we unzip the metaphorical pants of the internet and crawl deep into the sweaty, scent-marked den of the Omegaverse. What is it? Where did it come from? Why is everyone growling? We’re talking heat cycles, scent ruts, social hierarchies, and the very horny tropes that define the genre, plus how fan creators are challenging and reshaping it. Also, somehow the court system got involved?

What does it mean to be... wet? Hey. Mind out of the gutter. This episode is about the idea of wetness— are all liquids necessarily wet? What's the driest liquid? What qualifies something to be wet?

Sometimes we wonder about life beyond our Earth. Sometimes we consider what kind of organisms may exist outside of our understanding. Sometimes, or rarely, we entertain an idea where perhaps aliens have been here all along... This episode we talk about aliens from space and where they may be hiding. And WHY did they NOT return MY CALLS?

We once again have a question that will guide everyone on the true path of being haters! Oh, Teddy Roosevelt, the guy who teddy bears are named for, the one who instituted state parks... also was a completely horrible person! Woah! Roll up your sleeves because we get into it this week with some eugenics and genocide. Sounds like someone else we know, eh?

Medicine and linguistics come together to create an unlikely event: medical cannibalism! Once upon a time, Europeans were eating mummies by the ton. Real mummies. Fake mummies. All sorts! And all for the health benefits of... dead bodies?

As we all know, color matters. And color can inspire a lot of controversy. Like, for example, certain pinks? They have baggage. Baggage that could be very expensive, very fast. M manages to keep it to a single parter this time (woah!) and we get to discuss a sampling of colors that sparked a bit of problems.

What, Charlie Chaplin, too? Yeah, Charlie Chaplin, too. The Tramp has gone too far, and Karen tells us just how far he went in this extra long episode. Despite his glistening career as an actor/director/more, when the camera was off, he wasn't always the paragon people held him up to be.

This week, we’re putting Gandhi on trial — and we’re not pulling punches. Turns out, the man behind the loincloth was less “peace and love” and more “racism and ego trips.” In this episode, we dig into the messy, manipulative, and straight-up deplorable parts of Gandhi’s life that somehow didn’t make it into the inspirational quote calendar.

In our third and final part about Picasso, we talk about Francoise and her relationship with him in its entirety. She was amazing, and their relationahip was wild and toxic. Francoise wrote an amazing autobiography that M will be relating stories from to paint a detailed picture of the guy Picasso was in his later years. We also, finally, talk about Picasso's death and the aftermath.

In this part two in our talk about Picasso, we talk about the man's art and how he related to some of the artists around him, his psychology (with a little armchair diagnosing), and we start in on talking about Francoise, a really amazing woman who got all wrapped up in Picasso's mess. She wrote an amazing autobiography that M will be relating stories from to paint a detailed picture of the guy Picasso was in his later years.

In the series of challenges by listener JJ, we were tasked to talk about the terror that was Picasso. M is the presenter, bringing in their already burning dislike of the man and sharpening it to a fine point by speaking about the women in his life to show the long shadows that Picasso cast while alive. We speak about his past, we interpret his art, and in the end, what we come out with is that Picasso is a PicAsso.

A listener challenged us to get him to hate Hemingway more and we took him on. Lucky for us, it's so easy to hate Hemingway— the man was cruel to his friends, his family, and to his enemies. He just does ridiculous and terrible things, which we will be thrilled to share with you. If a man could fuck up so bad he shoots himself in both kneecaps, he can fuck up anything.

We return triumphantly to 2025 with a listener question: how many chickens would it take to fight an elephant? First we need to decide on the chicken. Consider size. Spirit. Anger. And then we need to determine how much a group of chickens can take out. Can we fight a chicken? Can a horse? A moose? Join us for the chicken debate!
