    Hot Naked Chicks-The surprising legacy of Hugh Hefner

    This week, Chloe leads us on a journey of learning about Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Was he actually as bad as he first appears? Well, yes! But he was also a surprisingly staunch advocate of a number of social justice issues, including civil and gay rights. Throughout this journey we will be taking minor detours to hear about Chloe’s champagne problems, Annie’s struggles with Chemistry, and a high school trend that never actually existed.

    A Harlot but Never a Traitor- The Tragedy of Mata Hari

    Annie takes us through the tragic (yet very iconic) tale of Mata Hari, the woman falsely accused of espionage and treason against France during WWI and one of the most infamous victims of being “woman’d.” Because, as it turns out, a woman shaking ass can be responsible for the shortcomings of an entire nation. Also this week, Chloe and Annie exercise their superior intellect in finally figuring out the difference between the Dutch, Danish, and Norwegians.

    The untapped industry of offing your husband- the misogyny of men who kill their wives

    This week, join us for a discussion of intimate partner violence through the lens of country music that talks about- you guessed it- killing your spouse. Annie pulls a few iconic lyrics from both male and female country singers to look at the reasons men kill their wives and the very different reasons women kill their husbands. Digressions include trauma of the quail and marmot type. This is a public episode.

    Fellas, is it gay to prevent pregnancy? The struggle to market male birth control

    The girls are back to drop another Hot New Bombshell into the villa. This week, you'll get to learn all about male birth control- whether or not it's even a possibility, what the men think about it, and how we can shift some responsibility off of women when it comes to pregnancy prevention. We'll also teach you our signature cocktail recipes, and a DIY way to help support the pod. Thanks for listening everyone! This is a public episode.

    Men’s Rights Maxxing: Freeing the incels from themselves

    This week, Annie does the hilarious and haunting work of surfing the annals of the Manosphere to take us inside the Incelosphere. Annie imparts on us knowledge of phrases such as "roping," "looksmaxxing," and "black pilling," terms which are, shockingly, not just invented by teens. From the humble and not-so-bad beginnings of the men's rights movement to the black-and-green text that adorns today's Incel Wiki, join us while we take a peek inside the minds of the men who can't get laid.

    Only Rich People Can be Skinny- How Ozempic Represents America's Failures

    This week, Chloe takes us on a beautiful and meandering adventure through the world of GLP-1s. We discuss how these medications are disproportionately prescribed and utilized by people with more financial means, how they are being marketed toward adolescents, and how we could do better as a society to increase overall health. Most importantly, we talk about Annie’s inflammatory Tik Tok career and misogynistic men on the internet.

    Witchcraft, Misogyny, and Feeding Oats to our Pet Penises

    This week, Annie takes the gals on a tour of the history of Western witchcraft and Christianity’s (obviously) negative impact on how witches have been viewed for hundreds of years. Come along for a bit of Biblical scholarship worthy of JD Vance, some light etymology, and a discussion of why women were accused of feeding oats to stolen penises (really!).
