In the mid-1990s, a documentary claimed to have footage from a real life alien autopsy. They called it "Alien Autopsy." Cool. Erin and Nicole recount their memories of the must-see-tv event while wondering how the documentarians knew where to blur the alien genitals?! HOW would they know that? WHY would they know that?

It's Women's History Month and we love any reason to stan a bad bitch! Even if they're so bad, they engage in illicit activities. Even if they're so bad, they get arrested.

Since the beginning of time, women have been referred to as "the fairer sex;" made to stay home for a life of domestic caretaking and child rearing. But there was one industry where the women absolutely thrived: piracy. That's right, out on the open seas, women could swab the decks, hoist the sails and be swimmin' in booty, same as the men! For their 6th Anniversary (which was technically last week, whoops!), Erin and Nicole shine a light on some of the baddest, most swashbuckling-ist, most joll...

Erin and Nicole used the premise of this episode as an excuse to talk about that time in the 90s, when musician Sting wouldn't stop talking about his yoga-fueled, hours-long sex sessions with his wife, Trudie Styler. Seriously, that's it. I mean, I guess they also briefly talk about Neotantra and how it's different from Tantra, and how it shows up in western yoga and sexy stuff. But also, Sting!
