    Not For Educational Purposes: It's All In Your Head (Episode 48)

    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 get really psychological and ask the important questions like: What makes us have the need to bop to a beat? Why must we move and groove to the tunes? And why might you be happier if you dance? We also may do a lot of yapping in this episode. Some might say too much, and they wouldn't be wrong, but they would be mean. We yap about what kind of stimuli we need to get things done, a few reasons why mass production is awful, and how our imagination and creativity works. Are we just crazy? Some might say yes!! And that's okay. Podcast artwork by our very own Nova! Patrons get access to a special full version of this podcast, two whole days early!

    Not For Educational Purposes: F*ck Christopher Columbus (and not in the fun way!) (Episode 47)

    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 party pooper of episodes as we take the fun out of every question we ask, like, "Why are cigarettes considered gross while cigars are classy," "What is in a cigarette," "Is tobacco a vegetable," and, "Why is Christopher Columbus and white history just full of made up BS?" Nova learns something about Canada's alcohol laws and Nerd learns about the US's even wilder alcohol laws. On this episode we really discover that the rules are made up and the points don't matter. So have fun! We hope you don't need a cigarette by the end. Podcast artwork by our very own Nova! Patrons get access to a special full version of this podcast, two whole days early!

    Not For Educational Purposes: Deep Down Dark Deep Down (Episode 46)

    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. (!!!SPECIAL TRIGGER WARNING!!! We talk quite a bit about OCD thought patterns and potential triggers in this episode. This could be triggering for other people with OCD or OCD thought patterns.) On this episode of Not For Educational Purposes, we ask questions that we have probably asked before but forgot about. Like what is the difference between mental illness and neurodivergence? Is it semantics? Probably. Why do some people wear tinfoil hats? Is it because of aliens or because of something much more scary, like the government? Do we die from oxygen? And, on top of all of that, we learn more about sharks! So strap in as this is quite a wild episode for our hosts, one of them has had to much caffeine, and trying to understand things as undiagnosed mentally ill humans is hard.

    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 will be giving you whiplash as we try to answer: What is a histamine? How do medical bills work? And can you be allergic to yourself? All at the same time. We also ask silly things like: What are the different types of bankruptcy? What happens to your debt when you die? And can you please just wash yo dick??? Soap and water, people! We also have a special guest (Nova's sister Anna Kathryn) on for 0.5 seconds to be very smart in our general direction and answer a question for us. So make sure to have a neck brace on handy for this one, as we are lucky we got anything answered... Podcast artwork by our very own Nova!

    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, our hosts attempt to distract themselves from the horrors of the world by asking about something that's always funny: farts. Do some people just have a stinky butt or is it the stinky cheese they have eaten? How does Lactaid work? And what is an active vs inactive ingredient? We also get into: is coffee poison? How does caffeine effect the neurodivergent brain? Are you team square or team cube? All of this and so so much more. Just remember, don't do drugs kids. Or do, we aren't your parents. Just don't tell the government. Podcast artwork by our very own Nova! Patrons get access to a special full version of this podcast, two whole days early!

    Not For Educational Purposes: Cats, Drugs, and Dr. Doolittle (Episode 43)

    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 weeks episode of Not for Educational Purposes, we are back in the present with plenty of present questions to answer. Such as, what is it like for cats to be on catnip? Do animals seek out substances or self medicate? Have dolphins taken over the US government? How do dolphins and puffer fish go together? Does Nova remember that we talked about this already? Nope... We also wonder if both Nerd and Nova are smarter than an octopus and do other animals think humans are dumb? What exactly is an oyster and are they not just goop? What is biological immortality? And we all come to the consensus that many problems would be solved if we were all Dr. Doolittle. We are so excited to be back! We missed y'all! Podcast artwork by our very own Nova!
