episode Proteinopathy (look out for cows) artwork

Proteinopathy (look out for cows)

In this episode, Jay tells Mitch about a protein folding disease that's probably in your body right now and only growing stronger. Its like the sad, dangerous, adult-onset puberty you never wanted. While this episode has nothing to do with puberty, it does talk about infectious diseases and briefly cannibalism (I'm honestly blown away how often I have to warn about cannibalism with this show). If you want to learn more about Proteinopathy, check out the Wikipedia page [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinopathy]. If you want to know why Mitch has a bench warrant issued by a federal judge in Minnesota, you can click here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ]. It "allegedly" has something to do with him running an illegal underground fight ring pitting teens against drug dealers in what critics are calling "a fresh take on the circus, but with real consequences." Thanks for listening.

episode Deep Water Diving artwork

Deep Water Diving

In this episode, Jay tells Mitch why there's more to fear in the deep ocean than just sharks. There is also pressurized gas and your body will explode. This episode contains descriptions of how extreme pressure effects the body (spoiler, its not good), death, claustrophobia, body recovery, and a host of other unpleasant stuff related to deep scuba diving. Listen with care. If you wan't to learn more about Deep Diving, check out the Wikipedia page [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_diving]. If you want to watch Mitch slam 17 whole lobsters in a world record attempt, check out this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ]. I should be clear, it wasn't an official eating contest, more like a "did you see the SWAT team had to drag a guy out of Krogers" type of thing. Its just Mitch, a GoPro, and 17 raw lobsters, shell and all. What a day. Enjoy the episode.

episode The Father of Chemical Warfare artwork

The Father of Chemical Warfare

In this episode, Jay tells Mitch about Fritz Haber, the father of chemical warfare, who was instrumental in advanced agricultural science but hated by his father for his lack of business acumen. This episode includes content about biological and chemical warfare, lethal gasses and their effect on the body, the holocaust, murder, and suicide. If you'd rather not listen to this one, feel free to check out our episode on Frankenstein, its much more lighthearted. If you want to learn more about Fritz Haber, check out the Wikipedia page. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Haber] I also want to mention, Mitch finally wrapped up his old high school science-fair project (they wouldn't mail him a diploma until he did). Here's his presentation on how animals without thumbs eat human cereal. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ]
