We all know the 70s, 80s and 90s were a wild time, but it was especially wild for children.

In the mid-1990s, a documentary claimed to have footage from a real life alien autopsy. They called it "Alien Autopsy." Cool.

Why does that somehow make sense? SHOW INFORMATIO...

Since the beginning of time, women have been referred to as "the fairer sex;" made to stay home for a life of domestic caretaking and child rearing. But there was one industry where the women absolutely thrived: piracy. That's right, out on the open seas, women could swab the decks, hoist the sails and be swimmin' in booty, same as the men! For their 6th Anniversary (which was technically last wee...

What Chess lacks for in excitement, it makes up for in anal beads!

Erin and Nicole discuss the unbelievable events surrounding LANSA Flight 508, the fortitude and knowledge required to navigate the rainforest, and the 100% bad a** b*tchery this girl inherited from her mom and...

Erin and Nicole used the premise of this episode as an excuse to talk about that time in the 90s, when musician Sting wouldn't stop talking about his yoga-fueled, hours-long sex sessions with his wife, Trudie Styler. Seriously, that's it. I mean, I guess they also briefly talk about Neotantra and how it's different from Tantra, and how it shows up in western yoga and sexy stuff. But also, Sting! S...

Don't let the time travel to ~570 BCE ancient Greece, and the talk of "math and theorems" put you off of this episode. Yes, Erin and Nicole are discussing Pythagoras today, but this guy was a TRIP.
