Well well well. Here we are at our last episode. But we’re not dead, we’re just… uh, taking a very long nap. What’s on the other side is anybody’s guess.
You get knocked down, but you get up again… or maybe you just roll around on the floor moaning about how you’re no good at anything. Which is more inevitable… failure or your reaction to it?
Really stop and think about whether mosquitoes have any redeeming qualities. Go ahead, we’ll wait.
Before you know whether you need to worry about the orgasm gap… you probably need to know what it is. But it sounds worrisome, right?
Today, in the long list of things we can’t really control but worry about anyway - the possibility of our brains exploding! Yes, brain aneurysms are terrifying, but what are they, exactly? And will knowing the answer to that question make us feel better or worse?
When you think about it, hormonal birth control is nothing short of a miracle that has changed the course of civilization. On the other hand, Cat and Eden just can’t get enough of worrying about things.
The natural companion to last week’s episode… since wild animals are most commonly known as “sharks of the land.” But assuming you’re not trying to hunt or befriend them, how dangerous are they really? And how many creatures out there are really worth worrying about?
Between drowning and all the crazy/deadly creatures that live in the ocean, one wonders why we would even go near the thing. Or, at least, that’s what Cat wonders. Ocean - is it friend or foe?
Who needs to go to a pharmacy when you have everything you need… coming out of your kitchen tap! Only problem is, you have no control over what drugs you’re taking… or how much. But hey, talk about convenient, amirite?
Cat and Eden are always excited to skewer a health fad, and diet soda seemed like an easy target. But… the results of our ever-cursory research were surprising. Is it time to toss the Tab, or start guzzling it by the gallon?
From waifish, big-headed sweethearts to all manner of grotesque murderous monsters… we’ve got a wild imagination when it comes to aliens. But what will they really be like, if indeed they exist at all?
In tackling an issue that probably can’t be solved using logic or historical context, Cat and Eden try to at least… understand what’s happening with guns and mass shootings and those who are, for some reason, anti-gun control. Come on, it’ll be fun.
The Supreme Court will be hearing its first abortion case since 2007, and the fate of reproductive rights more or less hangs in the balance. Spoiler alert… you should be worried. But reproductive rights were supposed to be a done deal.. how did we get here in the first place?
What’s one teeny, tiny, little… entire bag of gummy worms in the scheme of things, really? Sugar is natural! It comes from plants! And yet we’re supposed to “cut down” on it because it “causes disease” and “obesity.” But who trusts “science” these days anyway?
For our one year anniversary, we tackle a topic that’s on everyone’s lips. Will your body suddenly break down and decide that food is the enemy? Or is it overblown hype perpetrated by Big Food to get you to buy a bunch of gluten-free crap?
So you wanna take some sexy photos and show them to your honey. These days, that typically involves uploading your bits to the internet, and the internet can keep a secret, right? RIGHT?
Wrong. Clumsy. Sinister. Evil. Lefties have been bizarrely maligned for, as it turns out, EVER. But are there actual downsides to being left-handed? Could being a southpaw actually be… dangerous?
You can’t pronounce the chemicals in your face lotion, but does that necessarily mean they can kill you? Is the internet right in its hysteria that anything you put on your body is slowly eating you away from the outside? Or is the truth a little more… complex?
Man oh man, you thought the flu was bad… try the flu SHOT! Anyway, that’s what the fearmongerers of the world would have you believe. But what do the wet blanket facts say? Cat and Eden discuss the pros and cons of getting poked once a year.
On the one hand, why else are we on this here planet if not to reproduce? On the other hand, hey man, don’t tell me what to do with my life! Cat and Eden discuss happiness, regret, and the fate of their dusty ovaries.
