Bio Babes

Happy new years! Or… well… close enough. Listen, we’re hungover, and we’re doing our best. It’s the NEW YEARS HANGOVER SPECIAL! Join the bio babes and friends for a bourbon tasting led by returning guest, Libby’s dad! Take some tums and grab your best (or worst) bourbon, this episode is a great excuse to DRINK! Everyone knows that a couple fingers of whisky makes the knowledge sink in better. All of this fancy bourbon might have been wasted on our $6 white wine palates, but we learned a ton and it was a wonderful way to pregame the gay club.

Drinking game: take a shot every time you hear the word bourbon

Thanks Libby’s parents! Sorry I threw up on your floor!

It’s the spooktacular Halloween special but black cats and vampire bats are overused. We need a fresh new Halloween animal mascot! The Bio Babes got a big steaming cauldron of creepy critters here, and we’re throwing them at the wall to see what sticks — we got spooky animals of all kinds, some deep sea friends, some slimy guys, some… some little frogs… a couple big ol lizards, a live bird, a dead bird, and whats that? Oh god.. what IS that thing? Libby did you put an Aye-aye in the cauldron? Fuck. This cauldron of creepy critters is going to be extra nasty. Happy Halloween! Some of these critters cannot be unseen, Google along at your own risk.

I’m drunk, you’re drunk, we’re all dunk. And we have alcohol to thank. In this episode, we sip and chat with Noah, a home brewer  and Libbys body double, to learn about making mead. We also plan a trip to get blackout on malort in Chicago, we stumble through a chaotic exploration of the history of alcohol, we play alcohol geo-guesser, and we debate the question — would you drink Dylan Sprouse’s mead? Pour yourself a glass of whatever fermented starch you prefer but, no matter what you drink, this episode goes down like a shot of malort. 

Take a drink every time we beep out something.

So, Australia… wtf is going on down there? well, their toilets flush backwards I think, so that’s one thing. I’m pretty sure that their royal family is the Irwins? And I’m still foggy on whether or not drop bears are a real thing. There’s a lot of things about Australia, that me and Libby don’t know, like, for example; what happened to those ancient Aboriginal Australians that caused a cultural flip? why did the camel population explode during the Bush administration? How do platypus live with themselves? And how in the everliving heck Australia came up with those time zones? But the two things that we know for sure about Australia is, you don’t muck with it, and you never give a camel a gun.

Caves part 2! We’re still in the deep dark depths of this cave somewhere in southern France. All the cave fish have been eaten and the batteries in the headlamps are going out. I’m going to be honest bio babe, things aren’t looking good. Oh! Put down that cave bear skull and look at these paintings on the wall! That’s beautiful, there’s rhinoceros, and lions, and bison… what the hell?! Those don’t live here …. at least, not anymore… oh. Oh dear. Guys, I think we may have found a bunch of Paleolithic cave paintings. You know what that means? We are so lost... Alright gang, time to draw straws for who we eat first.

Welcome to season 3 bio baby! Grab your spelunking gear and turn on your headlamp cause to ring in the season we’re crawling deep into the dark chambers of a cave. Follow Mmeeeeee…… oh look! Is that a bat?! No, it’s a cave snake hanging from the ceiling… gross! something with too many legs just crawled across my foot. Hey is that a — ow! Sorry I bumped into a stalagmite — is that a wolf spider eating an amphipod? Sick bro. Uh oh did we pass that pile of australopithecus bones before? Are we… going in circles? Don’t worry guys, we’ve got our headlamps, and if we get hungry we can eat these weird, blind, transparent fish. Woah check out this cute rock I found! It’s smiling at me.

Are you ready to celebrate ?! It’s the last episode of season 2! Yeah, it’s nearly a month late, but the bio babes are doing their best! In this episode we are joined by a very special guest to talk about Yellowstone National Park. We chat about how much we love those good good glacial landscapes, wolf 907 (rip), our experience following bison herds around to steal their shit, doing science communication on location, keeping high schoolers alive in the woods, and everyone’s favorite Yellowstone geyser, Steamboat! No, it’s not Old Faithful, don’t say her name in our presence. We also recorded this episode while watching the Mike Tyson / Jake Paul fight so stay till the end for our live reaction to seeing Tyson’s bare ass.

You ever think to yourself, “damn, I wish I was alive back when the mammoths were dancing around in their giant clogging shoes.”? Of course you do. Trust me, we all do. Well, you missed it, and so did I, but instead of cursing the linear progression of time and spiraling into a pit of despair, we can instead use paleoecology to paint a picture (both literally and, like, descriptively) of what it must have been like to see them big ol’ clompin’ stompers back in the day. In this episode, we’re joined by Peter, a PhD student, gay icon, and friend of the pod, to talk about his field of research, Ru Paul's Drag Race, carbonized peach pits, paleoart, and Georgia's best president, Jimmy Carter.

Do you have questions? Good! Cause we’ve got answers! Not, like, answers to *your* questions specifically, we just have answers to Mr. Lovell’s questions. Nobody else is getting their questions answered. Just Mr. Lovell. Like, I guess if you happen to have an overlapping question with Mr. Lovell then you will get your question answered but we’re technically only answering questions that Mr. Lovell asked us. So like, we’d answer your question maybe if you sent us one in the mail maybe? But then we’d have to give out an address and thats like, yikes y’know? … maybe you could DM us on instagram with your question and we might answer it? Yeah that would work. But like, Mr. Lovell already has our phone numbers cause he’s a friend of the show. So, in this episode we’re going to answer questions that Mr. Lovell asked us. To be clear, we’re not answering anyone else’s questions at this time, just Mr. Lovell’s. Sorry.

It’s finally happening, it’s the gay animal special! To celebrate pride month, Libby is taking us all on a tour through the colorful world of queer animals. Want to learn about lesbian albatross power couples? Gay dolphins? Polyamorous ducks? Trans deer? Bonobos and their free love hippie lifestyle? This episode is so cute we even cry a little. Gender and sexuality is a weird amorphous spectrum of insanity — and not just in humans, shit’s wiggity throughout the animal kingdom. But remember there’s no such thing as normal, especially not here. So listen to this episode to hear two gay animals talk about gay animals. It’d be homophobic not to!
