Then, we shift our attention to a badass woman named Juana Inés de la Cruz, a Mexican philosopher and writer who propelled a movement against misogyny and sexism. Josh then shares a recent account of a woman who stopped at nothing to get the ultimate revenge against a drug cartel.

  • Episode 85: Love Stories

    We're finally back from a break to discuss love stories! We begin the episode by catching up with Josh's annoying hacker problem before they question a Florida man who decided to rob a pharmacy at the worst possible time. Then, Mindy examines how she and Josh mix when it comes to primary and secondary personalities. She wraps up the episode by discussing the long-lasting love life of Queen Victoria. *Note: This episode was recorded BEFORE the long Texas winter storm that kept us without power and water for days, hence the delay. We'll discuss that adventure next week!

  • Episode 84: Hackers

    We have personal ties to this week's topic, as Josh opens the show talking about how he had two separate credit cards compromised by someone in Russia in a span of two days. In Questioning Florida, Josh talks about Podium Guy from the Capitol attack, who conveniently documented his crime in detail to make things easier on the FBI. Mindy then talks about a pair of hackers that helped save thousands of Jewish people during the Holocaust. In true Atypically Topical form, Josh's main story shifts the episode back to the ridiculous with a story about a hacker literally taking men's manhood hostage. Enjoy!
