  • Episode 20: Wizard of Oz- A Wickedly Awful Behind The Scenes
    Oh boy are we about to ruin your childhood, your parent’s childhood, and probably your grandparent’s adulthood. This week Kassie takes us through the truly awful disasters that happened on set to the beloved characters in the Wizard of Oz, with a medical spin. We learn about how they were poisoned, drugged, and even set on fire. Yikes. Tune in and grab your popcorn.

  • Episode 19: Transplants-An “Organ” Story (Part 2)
    First, if you haven’t listened to part one, stop, drop, and roll on back an episode because this is part two baby. The real dirty, disgusting, gut wrenching continuation of how we started harvesting, I mean transplanting organs in humans! It honestly just gets worse from here people. Let us flood your ear holes once again. We love it and we love you.

  • Episode 18: Transplants-An “Organ” Story (Part 1)
    Whooo doggy ladies and gents, hold on tight for this wild ride! This week were going to take you on an adventure that we didn’t see coming. Just kidding, we suspected that the origins of organ transplants weren’t going to be pretty…and we were right! This is part one of this long journey, so strap in.

  • Episode 17: Blood Transfusions Part 2
    Welcome back to the continuation of Kassie horrifying us to the core about how blood transfusions came to be! We promised you guys two episodes this week and we were out to deliver! Side note: if you are interested in donating blood, check out your local American Red Cross and see how you can help! Thanks for listening!

  • Episode 16: Blood Transfusions Part 1
    Curiosity gets the best of us this week, as Kassie and I deep dive into where and how blood transfusions began! In this two part adventure, Kassie takes us once again to defiling half dead humans, animal experimentation (trigger warning), and even the first ever successful blood transfusion. It's definitely a historical lesson I wish they would have taught in middle school...although most middle schoolers would probably get nightmares from this now that I think about it...so good call teach! Sit back, relax, and let us blast through your ear holes on your morning commute folks. Xoxo-C.

  • Episode 15: Blasts, Bovies, and Tequila
    New year. Same us. Welcome back friends! We really wanted to come in hot…like a sharp, pointy piece of iron dipped in fire -hot-. This week Kass talks cauterizing throughout the ages and I highlight some of the biggest blasts and their injuries in history! We’re rested, ready, and drunk on tequila in this episode. It doesn’t get much better than this

  • Episode 14: Christmas Disease! Yes, it is a real thing.
    This week we’re keeping it short and sweet! (Probably like some of you are hoping the holiday with your families go) In this episode I’ll tell you the story of Christmas Disease! I will tell you it’s not a form of diabetes that you get from indulging in too many Christmas goodies. What you don’t know (unless you listen) is if it’s a disease where tinsel comes out of your blowhole! How festive right? I may also (definitely) be telling some of my favorite corny to the cob Christmas jokes that may (definitely) make Kassie screech laugh! Happy holidays everyone, from your DarkRX family!

  • Episode 13: Are you...Santa? No. It's most definitely not.
    It's episode 13 eeeek! And it's almost time for that fat man in red to pull multiple B&E's in one night while he leaves wild animals to poop on your roof. In honor of that, Kassie and I have decided to breakdown six different versions of Anti-Claus legends just for your dark listening pleasure. We talk witches, Christmas demons, a giant cat, disemboweling, and even the well-known Krampus. So get a glass of hot cocoa or cider, spike it with something adult rated, put those annoying kids to bed and wait for one of these bad boys or girls to come scoop them up in the night for their naughty behavior! Happy holidays dudes!

  • Episode 12: Weight For It.
    Welcome back from our unintentional hiatus dudes! This week we dive into a forever ongoing discussion: weight. Disclaimer: none of the weight loss methods we mention are being suggested, merely discussed. This episode had even my stomach growling (sorry not good enough at audio to edit it out lolz)! Kassie again lists the worst things a human could do to themselves while I discuss five different so called "fad diets". We talk coffee, worms, famous people, and poop that smells like...biscuits.? We missed you guys!

  • Episode 11: Headaches, You Give Me Headaches!/Thanksgiving Sent Me to the ER
    The holidays are upon us folks and although many words come to mind when describing them, one very important one stuck out to Kassie: Headaches. She delves into those pre-ibuprofen treatments that Hippocrates himself invented. We don't personally recommend them, but you'll have to listen and decide for yourself! We also felt it necessary to give you guys solid safety advice for turkey day. I'll give you 4 different cases where personal safety is our number one priority. I'll even hint that case #4 is for true crime fans. Together we give you guys Grade-A advice for turkey day...and maybe life. Let us help you ease your holiday stress by cranking us up during your travel or while cooking! We would love to annoy you either way!
