Episodes
  • Ep. 93: The Cane Toad Infestation
    Dec 9 2025

    Look out for oozing, creamy poison.

    In this one, Ian and Liv talk about another wild time in 1930's Australia, where an invasive species of toad was brought to the continent to eradicate a somewhat less invasive insect. The plan backfired, despite being incredibly well thought out, and Australia's ecosystem today in 2025 is still feeling the effects.

    Also, Liv bravely ignores Ian's annoying comments. Ian has a Bloomin' Onion.

However, the event takes a sharp left as the fans turn into nightmare of a riot.

    Also, Ian decorates the studio for the holidays. Liv was not only afraid, but also petrified.
