Bonus Episode: Giant Lemurs Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

Happy holidays! Here’s a bonus episode we’re releasing to the public as a holiday gift for you, all about Amy’s favorite: Lemurs! And specifically, how they used to be enormous and maybe interested in crushing birds. Art (and a whole season worth of exclusive episodes) is available on our Patreon.

CW: Cursing, discussion of the crushing of said bird, the general concept of Aye-Ayes.

Megatherium the Stabber Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

From carnivorous armadillos to the serial stabbing experiments of a self-described 70 kg male with no special training in any sporting discipline but who seems to have a very vicious cat, this episode is a wild, wild ride. But would you truly expect any different from xenarthrans?

CW: Cursing, drug testing, the vegan police, a man stabbing meat and facing off against cats, sloth baby murder

Freaky Fingers, the Return Oct 16, 2025

Show notes

Evolution continues to be disgusting as we dive into the multipurpose functionality of Aye Aye and Striped Possum fingers.

CW: Boogers, Aye Ayes just generally, cursing, and somehow puppy play (you know, the kink that Google apparently thinks Meaghan has)

Freaky Fingers Pt 1 Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

Sometimes evolution isn’t just weird, it’s weirdly indecisive. Let’s talk about the multipurpose mishaps that led to Iguanodon’s hoof-knife-tentacle combo and the extending butterknife palms of Pandas. Now with fixed audio featuring also Amy!

CW: jokes about dildos, sex acts, and rude hand gestures. Cursing. Discussion and mockery of Meaghan’s current ganglion cyst. We do call extra fingers weird or freaky, but this is specific to animals and does not cover polydactyly or humans.

Worms & Dead Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

There is a worm that has fins and an Elizabethan collar of venomous fangs. It looks like someone glued false lashes to a tiny translucent manatee, and it might be the reason that clams are starting to kill people. Let's talk about arrow worms!

CW: Swearing. Jokes about penises. Impacts of modern climate change.

Birds That Make Milk Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

Some birds (and thus, dinosaurs) make milk in a special part of their throat called the crop. Let's talk crop milk, crop cheese, shrimp smoothies, and why pterosaurs were pink.

CW: a befowling of milk and cheese as concepts. Gagging noises. Eating of roadkill (theoretical). Swearing.

Fossil Rodents of Unusual Size Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

Or rather, unusually interesting size. To some. Let's talk giant beavers and the biggest rodent of all time, Josephoartigasia.

CW: Body shaming of big rodents (not us!), cursing, statistics.

The Glory of Gonopods Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

From crazy three-legged millipede fossils to the sexy club hands of spiders, this episode is all about where arthropods put their genitals. Specifically, their chins and feet. Videos and images are on our website weirdanddead.com!

CW: Spiders and other arthropods. Cursing. Sex acts only a millipede could dream up.

Radioactive Dinos Jul 10, 2025

Show notes

Dinosaurs and horses and Amy loudly shouting out radioactive elements to antagonize her husband, oh my! This episode covers the perils lurking behind locked and poorly ventilated cabin doors - specifically, radioactive bones.

CW: Cursing, cancer and theoretical nastiness caused by radioactive poisoning, Chernobyl, Meaghan's stuffed up nose

Bloat & Float Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

Ankylosaurs, ichthyosaurs and nonexistent narcissistic krakens! Let's talk about why Ankylosaurs are found upside down, and what really happened at Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park. Time to bloat up & float along.

CW: Cursing, Pseudoscience, Dead Animals & Decay
