Rodents have stinky butts too y’know - it’s just we seem to be into that smell a lot more than we are skunk. Let’s once again revisit Amy’s cloaca envy and talk about waterproofing butt goop flavored ice cream shall we?

CW: all things that come out of a cloaca, cursing, animal death, eating of unpleasant things.

When did skunks get their characteristic butts? How does skunk spraying work and how do you get rid of it? We dig into the whys and wherefores of the skunk stank butt and watch a video so disgusting that Amy couldn't even relisten to herself reacting to it. (Images and video are on Patreon!)

CW: cursing, butt nipples, animal death, skunk spray and its results, use of skunk spray against protestors and Palestinians 

There's a clam called Vulvaceramus. Or Volviceramus, if you are no fun. Let's talk about giant clams, pearls, and how Amy overidentifies with certain minerals.

CW: Vagina jokes, obviously. Cursing. Gossip.

Teeth evolved to be sensitive first, thank you very much - the whole “use for eating” thing was actually an evolutionary afterthought. And whatever ratfish are doing with them is… not correct.

CW: tenaculums & triggering medical procedures, cursing, dick shaped objects, trypophobia & odontophobia 

We narrow down the closest fossil candidate for that virgin-loving legend, the Unicorn, as Meaghan finds yet another excuse to talk about how cool artiodactyls are. Photos on Patreon!

CW: Cursing, animal experiments, dildo discussion, the pitfalls of intelligent design

Filter-feeding pterosaurs and the dinosaurs that ate them and then threw them back up - a love story?

CW: Vomit, Vomit eating (for romance), Scavenging (also for romance), Crop milk (platonic), Dinosaur slander, and of course... cursing.

Some frogs are explosive breeders. Some frogs just explode. Both have somehow been preserved in lakes in Europe... a lot.

CW: Frog death, frogs drowning each other during mating, frog researchers forgetting key feminist frog facts, bloat & float & explode as a concept, cursing

Images for this episode are available for everyone on Patreon!

What makes a scrotum a scrotum, why do they exist, and why is Meaghan so good at answering quiz questions about them?

CW: Testicles & mockery thereof, animal castration, hernias, cursing

This episode is a little different than our normal content. There are several paleontologists mentioned in the latest release of the Epstein files, and the official response to that has been... underwhelming. In this episode we tell you about the facts within the files, the paleo people identified, some important context, and the reasons that events like this concern us and negatively affect paleontology as a field.

CW: sexual assault, sexual harassment, Epstein's convictions for sexual assault of a minor, PTSD symptoms, eugenics

At least one soft-shelled turtle pees mostly out of its mouth. This Patreon exclusive episode takes you down winding pathway from throat stalactites to shark dissection to vegan gardening practices (it's related, we promise). Images and a whole season of full-length exclusive episodes are on Patreon!

CW: Urine, dissection of sharks, experimentation on turtles , teasing of vegans, pre-eclampsia and birth, turtles just being generally bad
