Kat dives into the controversial history of double Ds, Dungeons and Dragons that is. The Christian anti-D&D organization “Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons” formed in response to a mother’s concerns about satanic worship. Just remember to keep game pieces out of bodily orifices, and you should be safe! Next, Hayley covers the Freetown Project in Grafton, New Hampshire (the hamster state). Libertarians took over the area to practice their right to traffic organs, practice consensual cannibalism, and much more… It went worse than you think!

Kat teaches a lesson on a dietician who dipped her toe into evangelical cult-leading. Gwen Shamblin’s diet program of praying the fat away somehow appealed to enough people that she could afford a private plane- unfortunately for her.. Then, Hayley introduces us to a pair of feral children who showed up in Woolpit, England a very long time ago. We don’t know where they came from, only that their skin was green and they LOVED raw beans.

Hayley covers drunken, gold-nose-wearing astronomer, Tycho Brahe. When he wasn’t making wildly accurate observations with his naked eye, he was partying with his pet moose. Next, Kat covers “good speech,” also known as the transatlantic accent. You must speak in cursive and be classist to excel at this way of speaking!

Kat tells the story of Muggs the chimpanzee who ape-eared just in time to save The Today Show. Remember, no matter how cute you are, you will never be as cute as a baby chimpanzee. Then, Hayley teaches the barfo-disgusto history of autopsies. It turns out Gangrene pus doesn’t taste good. Who knew?

Hayley analyzes the only series that went out of its way fail the Bechdel test: Cops. This topic does not stem from an admiration for policing in the US, but rather to understand how and why a TV series was produced chronicling it. Next, Kat leans into one of her favorite genres: mysterious conditions. Voice-o change-o, officially known as Foreign Accent Syndrome, causes people to inexplicably start speaking in what sounds like a foreign accent... This is not the same as when you got your retainer installed in middle school.

Kat tells the story of The Great Chicago Fire and examines possible suspects, including but not limited to Peg Leg Sullivan and engorged udders. The fire burned 4 square miles, killed 300 people, and left another 90,000 homeless, but at least we got Chicago’s first Little Free Library out of it. Then, Hayley exposes chiropractors for what they really are: raw milk drinking FREAKS. Not to marsh anyone’s mellow, but they don’t really have magnetic hands.

Project C in 1963 Birmingham stood for Project... Children? No, Project (non-violent) Confrontation to end segregation. Children across the city did march and altered the trajectory of the Civil Rights Movement. Next, Kat teaches about identical twins Sabina and Ursula Eriksson who folie à deux'ed their way onto the British version of COPS in a shared psychosis.

Hayley covers the notorious cold case of the Somerton that has now been SOLVED. Did a religious extremist Little Free Library crack the case? No. But it would be a lot cooler if it did. Then, Kat delivers a crash course on the misunderstood religion of Vodou and the woman who cemented it to the culture of New Orleans.

Kat introduces us to Gloria Ramirez, the definition of TOXIC. Her personality was lovely but she was mysteriously oily, her blood smelled of amonia and had flecks of... something... in it. Next, Hayley reveals the secrets of an ancient underground city which closely resembles an ant farm.

Hayley wraps up her lesson on The Silk Road AKA anonymous Amazon + drugs. The moral of the story is never use your personal gmail when running an international drug trade. Next, there’s nothing George Hull does better than revenge. Kat introduces us to modern farmhouse icon, the Cardiff Giant. What the giant lacked in authenticity and biblical relevance, he made up for in his manly anatomy. Amen.
