JEREMY BENTHAM - PART TWO 

This episode Em heads right into the enduring spectacle of Jeremy Bentham’s death wish. In lieu of flowers or funeral, the gentleman kindly requested that his friends attend an extra special, extravisceral “celebration of life”, provided custom VIP/BFF merch and RSVP’d his corpse for weekends at Bernie’s in perpetuity. Though he meticulously planned his immortalization, this undertaking was purely theoretical and posthumous, and so his already grotesque plans wandered off-script - from botched desiccation to novelty prop to football games and kidnappings…we are left to wonder if Bentham would consider his auto-icon: iconic or ironic? whonhwonn

JEREMY BENTHAM’S HEAD - PART ONE 

In this episode, Em tells us the life story of guy named Jeremy Bentham..but stay tuned for a follow-up “post-mortem” episode about his famous severed head. 
We’ll learn that being a wealthy man in the Georgian era afforded such things as - getting a college degree as baby, adding your own words to the lexicon and being mildly weird and eccentric without consequence. His contributions included progressing Utilitarianism as a mode of thought, planting the well-intentioned seeds of modern policing, prison and surveillance as well as producing a prolific volume of writing with some unexpectedly progressive views on women, homosexuality and atheism. Most importantly, you can finally find out the name of his walking stick!

THE CALENDAR 

Fact: it is a new calendar year. That is…fine…but perhaps while drifting through the relentless experience of temporality, you take note of that scheduling grid on the wall (or device) and ask -the heck is a calendar anyway? How do we know what day it is? Why did we even agree to this?

Kait attempts to serve up a brief history of western timekeeping..a choice cut of the Roman Empire, marinated in Christianity, some roughly chopped Norse gods and a pinch of kosher salt. We gripe about prolix nundinae (roman counting being terrible), the church making everyone be about Jesus all the time, and the British Empire opting out, giving everyone a logistical headache for almost 200 years. Eventually, we stumble out into a mildly-coherent existential yawn about the absurdity of time, curl into a ball and take a nap.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE - PART TWO 

Enter 2022 and part two on Shirley Temple! The sensational child star retired, and while its surely tempting (pause for laughter) to assume she’d just fade away, she remained in the public eye for the rest of her life. Em picks up where we left off; her post-childhood career in film, diplomacy, marriage and motherhood. Em reminds us how she really feels about Graham Greene, and Kait openly declares her love of the ubiquitous and eponymous mocktail. We’ve got shitty dads, shitty husbands, good husbands, some 90’s grunge trivia, the California Republican Party, Czechoslovakia somehow, and all the gossip you can shake a maraschino-studded plastic sword at! Happy New Year!

TAMAGOTCHI 

Beep beeple beep. What sound does a neglected keychain baby make? Come and distract yourself through Omicronstmas with another relic from decades past…the humble Tamagotchi! Despite most kids burying theirs in the back of junk drawer after raising a few underwhelming “kuchitamatchi” well before the days of Y2k, Bandai has continued laying the alien-egg babies to an insatiable fanbase since the late 90s. (Did you know it spawned SEVERAL tv shows?) Em leads us down memory lane (while Kait wanders off on a few loosely-related sidetracks), tells us the conflicting origin story and we discuss the “tamagotchi effect”. In the Tamagotchi-spirit of gentle amusement and busy-work, we present to this nice, fluffy, stocking-stuffer of an episode.

THE CALIFORNIA RAISINS CLAYMATION CHRISTMAS 

’Tis Christmas time, and for us that means memories of digging through cryptically labeled beta-max tapes, in search of the one which held the crown jewel of 80’s-kid Christmas specials - Will Vinton’s Claymation Christmas Celebration...with special guests The California Raisins! Reflecting back, we finally asked ourselves: Why were anthropomorphic raisins famous? Who created them and why? WHYY? (Apart from claymation being unequivocally rad) the answer is…uhh FDR made agriculture weird? Reagan-era marketing was shamelessly free-basing the smell of its own farts? We kind of find out, but Kait mostly talks about how their rendition of Rudolph was the best. We got all kinds of tidbits for your next 80s trivia night? Merry Christmas!

SHIRLEY TEMPLE - PART ONE 

Em welcomes us all to the Golden Age of Hollywood’s lax child labour laws. Whilst the Great Depression gave the public an appetite for tawdry distractions, some film producers figured getting babies to perform weird, sexy, adult stuff was just the ticket, so they wrangled up some toddlers, and a child star was born! We’ll learn that the secret to some of that old-timey movie-magic was sensory deprivation iceboxes (or fun, pranks like telling children their mom died so they’d cry properly) and we’ll be unpleasantly reminded that the trope of “infamously rape-y studio executive” is a congenital defect of the industry. But not to worry, despite all the gross jerks, we’ll find Shirley Temple still remains an iconic wholesome, cutie.

THE MOON 

This week we literally talk shit on the moon. Em waxes on some good ol’ moon facts and names all 12 whiteys on the moon before we gravitate out of orbit and phase into moon-truther tangents like Lunaria, Stanley Kubrick, space-nazis and holograms! Halloween is officially over, so talk of werewolves and child murder will be eclipsed by weird cassette tapes from the 80s, space diapers, a quick nod to a classic Mr. Show skit..and more!

THE VILLISCA AXE MURDERS 

Today is Halloween..so that means its time for more senseless child murders! Em asks who murdered the Moore family of 6 and their 2 houseguests? Thanks to the local Iowa true crime enthusiasts of 1912, and the utter brutality of the crime we may never know. There are plenty of theories and questions - How did they do it? What was their motive? WHY WAS THERE BACON? Kait is pretty sure it was the brother and that scheming Mary next door, but she also kept referencing a children’s parade, when it was clearly just a regular ol’ Sunday night children’s church party..so she’s obviously confused. If you’re not already familiar with this legendary cold case, join us in speculating about hobos, senators and nosy goddam neighbours. And in the tradition of nosy neighbours, you can tour the house, just like the townsfolk the day the bodies were discovered..how charming! :|
