Whormones Podcast Ep80- Poppers with Olivia Shepson Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

Today I sit down with baby comic, Olivia Shepson. We met at a show and I liked her deadpan style and jokes about dating, so I invited her on! Olivia grew up in Indiana and started doing comedy about a year ago in Montreal where she went to college. We chat about the dynamics of the comedy scene and how it can sometimes have that high school cool kids table kind of mentality. Olivia is shy, but curious as she tries to ask me how to get a guy to use a vibrator in bed without emasculating them. We also talk about our favorite drugs and why we like them. Olivia does not have any social media accounts or websites, yet (as I said, baby comic) but keep a look out for this wonderful young lady, you'll be seeing more of her!

About the Whormones Podcast

The Whormones podcast is an anti-feminist, feminist podcast where two completely different points of view of sexuality, feminism, and life are discussed. The politically incorrect humor and witty banter featuring Alia Janine's wilder and more sexually experienced interpretations, and Jaqi Furback's biting and more conservative demeanor makes these two the modern day odd couple.

Whormones Podcast Ep77- Mexican Tinder Family With Usama Siddiquee Mar 10, 2017

Show notes

Welcome back! This week's a doozy, with up & coming comedian Usama Siddiquee. Usama Siddiquee is a Bengali-American stand-up comedian and actor based in New York.

He also has a new podcast launching called "We Don't Watch Garbage and Neither Should You," a podcast about movies with fellow comedian Justin Watts.

Whormones Podcast Ep76- Click Bait Podcast with Myq Kaplan Feb 17, 2017

Show notes

This week's podcast welcomes back comedian Myq Kaplan. If you are unfamiliar with him, he is a 2010 Last Comic Standing Finalist and has appeared on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, the Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central Presents, and all the other places he's been. Myq's podcast, Hang Out With Me, is locatable on the Keith and The Girl network. His debut CD, Vegan Mind Meld, was one of iTunes' top ten best-selling comedy albums in 2010, followed by Meat Robot in 2013 and his one-hour Netflix special Small Dork and Handsome in 2014. The Comedians magazine calls him "a comedy machine, in the best possible way. The way that some machines vend soda or prevent other machines from killing future revolutionaries – that's how Myq Kaplan does comedy: relentlessly, methodically, unblinkingly." Today's episode we cover the results of Alia's heritage test and her confusion with Italy. We discuss clickbait news and what it's done to regular news. Myq & Jaqi answer the question "what is the OA about" by not describing it. We discuss drinking habits or lack thereof and the inspirations of significant others. Hey, it's Valentines Day! Of course Trump comes up for a moment, but let's talk about Myq's new album "No Kidding," out today on iTunes & his website! It's all about how he doesn't want kids. Alia and Jaqi disagree about why people want kids. We briefly discuss the book "Thinking Fast & Slow." All this and the *almost* climax of "Taken by the T-Rex," by Christie Sims.

Whormones Podcast Ep75- Hard and Red with Ben Bergman Feb 10, 2017

Show notes

This week we sat down with comedian Ben Bergman. Ben has has performed in festivals such as Laughing Derby, Laughing Skull in Atlanta and the last TBS Just For Laughs Festival in Chicago. He has worked with improvOlympics and Second City in Chicago (for improv) and recently moved to NYC to pursue the standup game. Today we talk about everything: from Trump to technology to SNL's rejuvenated popularity to "Easy D." We chat about Betsy DeVos and the nauseau that she has created on both sides of the aisle. Aside from that, Ben figures out that Alia is sexist & racist, Jaqi defends the Innuits and the racial slurs that have been holding them back. (For real, though, if you want to talk about a complete disrespect of a culture, they are SO ignored.) We discuss and plan for the apocolypse (with the help of Alex Jones). Ben & Jaqi reminisce over New York Seltzer. Moving on, we talk about boy/girl "types" and how they relate to what we recognized in our parents, and Alia and Ben share their domain names (available for purchase), and we get a real-time moment where Jaqi learns that Jeff Sessions got confirmed (Ben blacked out for a second and got confused.) All that and the "sexiest" reading yet of "Taken by the T Rex" by Christie Sims. We nearly die from laughter, it's that gross and sexy and hysterical.

Whormones Podcast Ep74- A Little Bit of Everything with Eman El Husseini Feb 04, 2017

Show notes

This week we have the wonderful Eman El-Husseini. Eman is a recent transplant to NYC, gifted us by Canada. She's toured across Canada, the U.S and, the Middle East and covers a wide range of topics, from how lesbians are the new gentlemen to her parents' wedding anniversary landing on September 11th. She has appeared multiple times in the Just for Laughs Festivals and has been featured in major Canadian newspapers such as The National Post, The Toronto Star, and The Montreal Gazette. She has also appeared regularly on radio stations such as CJAD, CBC, and CKUT. Her TV credits include a half-hour comedy special on CTV, Comedy Network, and the iChannel. Her album "Unveiled," is currently available on iTunes. We chat about Canada's Hot and wonderful PM Justin Trudeau, who has announced that he will invite all refugees being kept from their homes. We all say FUCK THE NEWS. (Insert unfortunate Trump conversation, here. No, none of us want to talk about this anymore, but we HAVE to.) Eman can't understand why Alia never wants kids, so we talk about procreation, and she asks a lot of questions. Eman makes Jaqi melt at the story of how she met her wife, and Jaqi shares her new attempt at a dating life. Alia and Jaqi confess their "lesbian crushes" and Alia tells us why she won't sleep with female comedians. And of course, we end everything with Jaqi reading an excerpt from "Taken by the T-Rex" by Christie Sims.

Whormones Podcast Ep 73- Lower Sperm Counts Let the Mob Run the U.S. Jan 29, 2017

Show notes

Another last minute cancellation leads to a chat about everything that's happened in the past week since the transition of power. We talk about the marches, the removal of foreign aid in developing nations to clinics performing or educating about abortion. And guess what! It's a happy day for big oil, because they may just get their Dakota pipeline after all, since climate change isn't real! (Sweet jesus save us all.) Alia shares a new terror from Utah and Texas: women being potentially sentenced for miscarriages. Alia also shares her newest obsession: an argument that semen enacts a violent crime on a woman's egg without her consent, and an implication that life starts at male ejaculation. Using a bullet pointed list, Alia argues that it's the man's job to reduce sperm count. Jaqi brings up the good in the progressive Netherlands who are compensating for the US removal of support. We talk about Russia potentially decriminalizing domestic abuse/violence in an attempt to "protect the family unit from state interference," and the implications of Trump's "add one law, remove two," theory on small government. And since Alia has been Facebook jailed, Jaqi tells her about #freemilania (on twitter, too), and Alia clarifies "what hoes want." The gagging order on the EPA and USDA comes up, and Jaqi explains why it'd be smarter to just let the mob have power over the country. She also shares her most recent new adventure: acupuncture, and of course, closes the whole thing out with a reading from "Taken by the T-Rex" by Christie Sims. See ya next week!

Whormones Podcast Ep72- Dealing with Betas Jan 20, 2017

Show notes

We had a last minute cancellation, so it's a conversation between the ladies, this week. Jaqi & Alia talk about the impending inauguration "for the people" of our theoretical president, as well as the environmentally aware gay dance party planned for the lawn of Mike Pence. Jaqi brings up her upcoming trip to Bangkok and her plans on hiring a Thai prostitute. We talk about a trip Alia took to Spain and debate whether or not it's dangerous for white women to travel alone. We move back to politics and Alia brings up Lee Camp's show "Redacted Tonight," and the infrastructure Obama put in place that could enable Trump to go to war without America's consent. She brings up Chelsea Manning and the potential pardons of other whistleblowers (which of course brings up Assange's alleged rape). Alia shares her experience on the show NYC Crime Report, and how many there really are. No victim blaming, here, just the unfortunate world we live in. After all this, Jaqi admits she's started dating and shares two recent experiences. We talk about potential relationships and being honest in what you're looking for, as well as your level of honesty in the natural growth of relationships. We discuss our "types," and Jaqi actually says p*ssy (with and without an asterisk). Alia admits that she has to think a guy could beat her up. All this and Alia has chosen Dino-rotica for Jaqi's next reading-- a book called "Taken by the T-Rex," by Christie Sims.

Whormones Podcast Ep71- Spines of the Blow-fish with Tamer Kattan Jan 13, 2017

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we have Tamer Kattan. Tamer began his comedy career in Los Angeles and New York, but very quickly began to tour internationally. He's performed for the troops in Afghanistan, and the Edinburgh fringe in Scotland, where he received three 4 star reviews from international press. Towards the end of 2013, he moved to London for 1 year (following the path of his two biggest comedic influences, Patrice O'Neal and Bill Hicks). Tamer was most recently featured on Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity event with Todd Glass and Hannibal Buress, won the 2015 World Series of Comedy and has TV & Radio credits on BBC and SkyTV in the UK as well as in the U.S. on Fox, HULU, HGTV & truTV. And now he's back in NYC.

We talk about growing up with weird names and how we all got teased as kids. Tamer informs us that growing up in Hollywood CA is not nearly as terrifying as growing up in Cairo, Egypt. He compares his full sleeve tattoos to the spines of a jellyfish and offers an example by a post-show interaction with a biker. We chat about pissgate. Is it real? If so...LOL. We move on to fantasize about fast food - Alia confesses she will cave for KFC, and we all agree BK's fries are the best fries. Tamer talks about his time overseas and European cinema ratings versus American ones and posits that it's healthier for kids to watch sex than anger. We brainstorm organizing vets to save planned parenthood, Tamer demands lesbians help women out by teaching men some things. All that and to Alia's relief, we reached the final segment of "the Art of Being a Lady" by Hannah Pryor.
