  • Not For Educational Purposes: An Exploding Whale of a Time (Episode 28)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode we meant to talk about fungi but side track the whole episode with questions about bodily functions such as: What are basal tears? What's a goiter? Are humans just meat mech-suits? And what does yawning and CPUs have to do with each other? The big take away from this episode is: emotions are hard, appointments are the worst, and don't stand next to an exploding whale.

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Go the F*ck Outside (Episode 27)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode we don't learn a single thing as we talk about NFT's, shiny rocks, and digital money. We do, however, find out how solar power works, what the difference between direct and alternating currents is, and that friendship is the best thing to come out of the internet.

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Why Kai Hates Standard Time (Episode 26)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. Welcome to the time travel episode, where we learn why time zones exist, who started them, and what daylight savings time has to do with candles. We also ask what the first railway accident was and what in the world is a water clock? Do you know when the Industrial Revolution started? And why are secretaries holding remotes?

  • Not For Educational Purposes: CATS!! (Episode 25)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. If you don't love cats, this is not the episode for you, because in this episode of Not For Educational Purposes, our feline loving hosts talk about the thing that's always in their hearts and messing with their allergies: our favorite subject, the house cat. We ask what makes people allergic to them? Where did they come from? Are cats clerics? And did they actually pull a Norse Goddess' chariot? Additionally, Nova struggles with Geography, we learn what a natural predator is, and that leopard seals are real cute until you see their teeth! So grab a chocolate croissant and maybe learn a thing about our little four legged friends.

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Maybe She's Born With It, Maybe It's The US Military (Episode 24)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. Get your pencils ready and have you woobie in hand, class is in session! In this episode, Kai asks what Space Force is and Nova wants to know if it involves space missiles. We agree that there should only be weapons of no destruction, and want to know what's in the peanut butter shot? We learn about things Nova should have learned in their high school government class. Does the US actually work? And what the fuck are stocks and bonds? Should we just go back to throwing shiny rocks at people? Probably. Be prepared to take notes, there will not be a quiz.

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Come and Go (Episode 23)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode of Not For Educational Purposes we learn once again that Nova has no idea how to relax, Kai and everyone needs to see The Room (not the horror movie), and both of our hosts should rewrite the English language. We're vegging out and learning about the origin of the work veggie and that some guy name Kelvin just wanted to be special. We talk a lot about bugs, worms and their packets, butterflies touching tips and the most dangerous dinosaur: The Spermatophore!!!

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Tea and Genes (Episode 22)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. As promised in Episode 21, this episode is all about Tea and Genetics! Kai teaches Nova all about DNA and things called nucleotides. We wonder if men should be on the endangered species list, and do extra chromosomes make an extra man? We learn about hormones, periods and get the most iconic quote from Kai, "The human body is a very, very strange place." Do you know how many types of tea there are? And when is tea not tea? When it's flower soup. You get all this and more in this wild episode of NFEP!

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Putting the Gossip Back in Schools! (Episode 21)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. In this episode, Nova forgot their list, so we are making it up as we go along! We learn that Nova and Kai are the same person in different fonts, intrusive thoughts are caused by what you would probably expect, Kai has a library brain, and the real train is the one we made along the way. We get into many wild topics, and while they are all fun we do need to add a HEAVY TRIGGER WARNING for the topic of death as our hosts also talk about why humans believe in things, like the afterlife and religion, and it gets kinda dark real quick.

  • Not For Educational Purposes: Under the Big Top (Episode 20)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. Come one, come all! In this episode we learn that a fair is not a theme park and circuses are still making their way around to Massachusetts. Also, Santa lives on an ice sheet, everyone is in space, and apparently jokes are in and movies made for adults are out. This episode will give you whiplash so fast you'll need to ask Kai to look up remedies on the next episode.


    Total Um's/Uh's removed from this episode: 98

  • Not For Educational Purposes: After Dark (Sort Of) (Episode 19)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. In this episode we apologize to all of our parents as we talk about the shower scene, light sabers, and what makes something porn. Kai looks up death during sex and where the term, "coming out of the closet," comes from, all while Nova deals with yet more of their imaginary sound issues and very real sniffles.


    We had some weird audio again this time, apologies, friends. We're working on it!


    We've also added an Um/Uh counter. Current Um/Uh count for this episode: 76
