On this week's episode we're sharpening our cheekbones, locking into our 'hunter eyes,' and mogging so hard that we promise you'll be able to sense our physical ascension even through an audio medium. We went deep on incel manosphere forums to get the scoop on looksmaxxing so that you can spot the warning signs when your tween boy cousins start referencing 'bonesmashing' at the next family function. Chads, Staceys, and Beckys, oh my!

Topics discussed include the PSL scale, Clavicular, a multigenerational history of mewing, tabi footwear, and a very brave and vulnerable reddit interaction with the looksmaxxing community.

It's finally time... to reveal the dark underbelly of renaissance festivals!!! We discuss the glorious origins of the festival and its descent into a capitalist hellscape built on the labor of unpaid volunteers and rife with sexual harassment. Fortunately, there are lots of heroic community members working to build local festivals and change the toxic culture. Among them is our anonymous interview subject who gave us all the tea!

Hear ye hear ye! Calling all barbarian bombshells, swashbuckling sailors, and washing well wenches for we have a tale to tell!

We're discussing our personal experiences as well as an interview with a professional ren faire performer! Discussion topics include KATSEYE, ren faire performance as the truest thespian art, and WWZMDAARF? (What Would Zohran Mamdani Do At A Ren Faire?)

Get your cards ready for swiping and your pins ready for entering because this week we're maxxxxxing out our spend limits to bring you the juiciest secrets and craziest point-fueled adventures from the world of credit card churners. When it comes to reward optimization, churners know no bounds. Are we telling you to throw caution to the wind and open as many credit cards as you can? No! Are we telling you to create ten email accounts and spam the McDonalds Monopoly rewards program to buy your friends as many cheeseburgers as their hearts desire? Maybe, yes? Topics discussed include airport lounge drinking behaviors, late stage capitalism, West End Girl, and of course, K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Madison haunts the pod!!! We are famously scaredy cats so we had to get a true horrorfile on to tell us about her experiences frequenting haunts such as Halloween Horror Nights, Knotts Scary Farm, and the Eastern State Penitentiary. We attempt to understand the psyche of a brave girl and answer the question "why are you built different?" Discussion includes social anxiety in haunted houses, the sexualization of scare actors, EXTREME haunts, and of course, our thoughts on The Life of a Showgirl.

Listen closely. Not for very much longer. Our Rocky Horror episode is here! A play and movie with an outsized cultural impact, this cult classic has built a community in every sense of the word. We got in on the madness to understand the inside (dirty) jokes in the counter script, the ins and outs of audience participation, and the queer representation (and misrepresentation) in the political climate then and now. I see you shiver with antici...pation.
