This week, we are joined by Mackenna's friend and actual ex-Mormon, Peyton Flake, to talk about how mormons have influenced and been depicted in the media. We run through some thoughts on Twilight, Big Love, Under the Banner of Heaven, Sister Wives, The Book of Mormon, Dancing With the Stars, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It's a TV grab bag with LDS flair. And Mackenna learned just how ANNOYING Kody from Sister Wives really is.

My brothers in Christ, welcome to a nearly two hour podcast just about special Mormon underwear. Just kidding! (We will touch on the undies though.) This week, Aubrey launches into a series about the Church of Latter Day Saints aka the Mormons. We give a brief history of Mormons in the United States as well as an intro to what Mormon culture is like. And Mackenna finally gets to scream about one of her sworn enemies: Brigham Young.

Hello! Happy Monday! Wow, we're back just in time for your commute. This week, Mackenna and Aubrey are talkin' hair, body hair specifically. Aubrey walks us through a detailed history of body hair removal practices throughout time. They also discuss trends in facial hair, whether it is woke and based to be a hairy woman, and is shaving your legs participating in pedophile culture? Tbh, we get raunchy in this one because there's A LOT about porn and pubes. Enjoy!

This week, we are wrapping up our convo of the Muppets (for now!) by talking about the #1 Diva, Miss Piggy, and her commitment-phobe boyfriend, Kermit the Frog. We talked with comedian Andie Fuentes about what makes Kermit and Piggy attractive and why we root for them despite them being... kind of toxic?? Also, we assert who has that "Piggy energy" in real life.

Listen, last week, Mackenna got really in their feelings about Gonzo, so this week we are doing a DEEP and SCIENTIFIC and OBJECTIVE look at a very VITAL question: what makes a Muppet hot? To answer this question, we are joined by puppeteer and Muppet fanatic, Kenjiro Lee. We dissect the rules of attractiveness in the Muppetverse and then tier list a whole bunch of these dogs, frogs, and whatevers.

Thank Kermit, we are finally talking about muppets. As a post-Pride episode, we're yapping about why so many non-binary folks identify with Gonzo. And uh-oh, we get extremely personal about Mackenna's gender and sexuality. Plus, a special guest appearance by Gonzo and Camilla!

...I mean, it's not even a competition. This week, Mackenna and Aubrey are comparing and contrasting two pieces of media inspired by the Mary Kay Letourneau case: That's My Boy, a raunchy Adam Sandler movie that thinks being abused by an older woman makes you a celebrity, and May December, a movie about how good of an actor Charles Melton is. 

TW: major discussion of sexual abuse of a minor throughout, minor discussion of suicide at 1:42:30

This week, Aubrey is putting on her true crime hat to discuss the case of Mary Kay Letourneau. Letourneau was an American teacher sexually abused and subsequently married one of her students. The story became a tabloid frenzy and we wanna figure out why. This series will ultimately be about the treatment of male victims of sexual violence by the media and by society. So, you can imagine why this episode caused Mackenna to scream into a pillow multiple times while recording. But, hey, we make a few good jokes!

Wrapping up our Batman series, this week, Mackenna and Aubrey discuss the Gotham City Sirens: Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn. We dive deep into the history of each character, as well as their similarities and differences. The big question this week is why can't a woman just be a villain? Also... happy pride Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are gay.

Na na na na na... NIGHTWING! This week, Mackenna runs through the history of Dick Grayson, from his days as the Boy Wonder Robin to being absolutely caked up at Nightwing. But also... we've got some tangents to go on. Mackenna and Aubrey got together to watch Batman Forever and Batman & Robin together and they HAVE SOME THOUGHTS. Also, who the heck is Devin Grayson?
