66. Götz von Berlichingen and The Stonewall Uprising

Next, Kat teaches a lesson on the catalyst of the modern day LGBTQIA+ rights movement and the reason we have pride parades: Stonewall.

64. Hipsters and Swear Words

63. American Apparel and The Killdozer

This week, we prove that #yesallmen. Hayley tells the story of American Apparel and its predator of a CEO Dov Charney.

Dmitri Belyaev dreamed of witnessing the process of domestication within his lifetime. Kat tells the story of how he made that happen with silver foxes, in spite of Soviet-era hostility toward the study of genetics. Thanks Stalin!

61. Bounty Hunters and The Max Headroom Signal Hijacking

Hayley teaches a lesson on bounty hunters which of course includes the queen bee bounty hunter, Dog. We don’t want to give Dog too much attention, as bounty hunting in other countries is just called kidnapping, but we do love his hair. Next, Kat lectures on one of the 80’s most iconic hacking incidents: the Max Headroom case. It may have been an inside job- which by the way Hayley loves, but only when she’s not part of them.

60. Lavender Doe and Fraudulent Psychics

Hayley covers a chilling cold case and once again proves that internet sleuths are more useful than police. Then, we take a not-at-all brief intermission to have our first fight. Friendships were destroyed, relationships shattered, all over years-old spoilers. Hayley and Alec literally don’t know how Harry Potter ended. Someone take their millennial cards. After that abomination, Kat graciously decides to remain on the podcast long enough to teach a lesson on fake psychics. Support the brands wh...

58. The Mother of Rabbits and The Attack of Dr. Smith

Today on TLC’s A Rabbit Story Hayley teaches a lesson on Mary Toft. Mary astonished eighteenth century medical doctors by giving birth to rabbits- or at least chunks of dismembered rabbits. A woman’s body really is a mystery. Then, Kat tells the peculiar story of Dr. OC Smith. Dr. Smith, a respected medical examiner known for conducting autopsies on homicide victims, became the victim of a grisly crime himself…. Or did he?

Hayley covers inventions that were created fully by accident. But what won’t be an accident is our new living room decorated with bubble wrap and luminol.

50. Denver Airport Conspiracies and Furbies

Hayley blows our minds with the fact that there are lizard people, and they live in Denver, CO. That’s right! We are talking about Denver Airport conspiracy theories. What’s scarier: the world ending or being crushed to death by a veiny blue horse? Next, Kat takes on some conspiracy theories of her own around the 90s’ favorite toy: Furby! Until they make a Furby that can hold our hair and put us to bed after a night out, we don’t want one. Our Linktree Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2021...

Hayley tells the original story behind Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and we spot the differences and the symbolism. Does the surface of the ocean mean sex? Is the red garden her pubes? Probably.

Resort, and naturally we needed all the background deets behind this “creepy detail.” Then, Kat exposes Patrice Wilson, the man behind Rebecca Black’s hit song Friday, as the disgusto barfo creep that he is. He really likes Chinese food and eleven-year-old girls. This episode is sp...
