Reptile keeper nightmares & our opinions on zoos | Episode 85

This week, we’re not holding back. First up: zoos — conservation havens or outdated institutions? We dive into the hot debate over whether zoos should still exist, the ethics behind animal captivity, and what it really means to protect wildlife in 2025. Then, we get a little spooky with a segment on reptile keeper nightmares — from escaped snakes to dog-sized salamanders! And to round it all out: are we dry shampoo girls? It’s a surprisingly loaded question. We unpack the beauty standards, hygiene shortcuts, and the emotional rollercoaster of pretending we totally did wash our hair today.

It’s ethical dilemmas, reptile-induced anxiety, and dry shampoo discourse — all in one episode. Let’s get into it.
