  • 90: On the Challenges of Being a Woman in Comedy (WOMEN IN MALE FIELDS!)

    90: On the Challenges of Being a Woman in Comedy (WOMEN IN MALE FIELDS!)
    May 8 2025
    Alison is joined by Stefani and Anna to talk about their experiences in comedy! We get into how their gender has shaped the way they’re received on stage, tokenization, and the balance of success without compromise. Also: why do men assume a woman making sexual jokes is “very sexual” - and why is that a problem? Why do audience members respond to a bit as if they’re on a date with the gal on stage? Why can men make a r*pe joke but a survivor can’t? Many such questions!

    Includes musings on the origins of intercourse and the importance of self-satisfying. Ends with advice for aspiring comics (it’s to masturbate more often).

    Follow them on ig!

  • 89: On the IQ Tests' Villain Origin Story And Many Psychology Bits

    89: On the IQ Tests' Villain Origin Story And Many Psychology Bits
    May 1 2025
    IQ tests, get on the analysis couch. This week we trace the intelligence quotient’s horrible origin in eugenics and sterilization. Then track how it kinda improved and developed into the G factor (has nothing to do with being a g, yet kind of does). And finally identify the now recognized multiple styles of intelligence that make things a lot more interesting. Very Psych 102 style. TLDR: if you think you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong.

  • 87: On Flawed Metrics Made By Old White Dudes - BMI, MBTI, & Love Languages

    87: On Flawed Metrics Made By Old White Dudes - BMI, MBTI, & Love Languages
    Apr 12 2025
    BMI — the deeply misleading number that's on your medical chart whether you like it or not. Myers-Briggs — astrology for the boys. Love Languages — PHYSICAL TOUCH. We're here to deconstruct, to devalue, to de...smiss, these popular measures that were developed without adequate research. (To be fair the Myers-Briggs test was created by two ladies, but it was based on the work of Carl Jung, so close enough.)

  • 85: On How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Clown Timeline

    85: On How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Clown Timeline
    Mar 25 2025
    Super PACs, lobbyists, deep fakes, oh my! We're not too thrilled about the fact that politicians are motivated by money & power rather than the interests of their constituents. While echo chambers and the culture war keep us divided to our detriment. If we could find common ground, we might viva la revolution. This 'reality contradicts the messaging' extends to corporate girlbossery, too - because if you've been told gender equality has been achieved, you've been lied to. But we've got ideas on how to make some difference, or at least how to soothe your mind to make life more tolerable. Alt title: believing a politician cares about you is like believing the stripper likes you.

    84: On Nosferatu
    Mar 8 2025
    Review of the 2024 film "Nosferatu", directed by Dave Eggers. Surprisingly turned out to be a feminist rabbit hole inviting multiple interpretations. All the spoilers! (*also includes birthday well wishes for one of your hosts <3, an out of context update on the no good very bad boyfriend, and smack talking Andr*w H*berman)
