Episode description
Possibly the most aptly named animal out there, this week is all about the Puffer fish!
Have you ever wanted to know: How does a puffer fish puff? Why are his lips so luscious? Is the puffer fish Agatha Christie's most infamous literary murderer? Who needs a stomach when you can become a globe? Tetrodotoxin - what is that? What qualities are *required* in Flora's ideal partner? What is GOING ON with the puffer fish life cycle and WHY does it involve humiliating a man?
Well then you're in luck! Learn answers to these questions and many more in this week's episode!
p.s. we talk a lot about Antichrist, the movie - obviously (skip 55:42-56:10 if you want to avoid horrible grotesque things)
