Cannibalism Update: How Nutritious is Human Flesh? - Feel Good Friday Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

Taylor brought a 4th co-host to the studio today. Zaya is here, and she just won't shut up. First things first: frostbite. It's gnar-gnar as heck and we have the proof thanks to @medicaltalks on IG. Yuck. Speaking of yuck, according to a scientist (who legit put many many hours into researching this), human flesh is not that nutritious when you stack it up against other animals in the wild. But hey, if you are in a pinch at least you know that your pal is about the calorie equivalent to a walking lunch. There is a honey product in the U.S. that's giving people boners. Popeye is real and he is not juicing. Conjoined twins are fascinatingly complicated. And finally for What The Hellth?!? - Vabbing. The newest trend where some vulva-havers are dabbing vajayjay juices on their necks in place of perfume in order to find the perfect mate. Does it work?! Tune in to find out.

Human Flavoured Burgers?! - Feel Good Friday Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

This week the fellas kick things off with some classic pee-pee talk.

Period tracking apps may become hella problematic for folks living in the U.S., but what about people up here in Canada? Ricky, Rocky, Rock… things get confusing when it comes to The Rock's Dad and all of his alleged half-siblings. Ever curious about what human flesh tastes like? Of course, you have been. Well, now you can munch on some human-like meat with the new human-flavoured vegan burger from Oumph! Finally for this week's edition of WHAT THE HELLTH?! Don’t eat slugs. It may lead to your death.
