S1E237 - Profanity Abroad: Iran, Nigeria, and a Surprise
I've had fun with these "Profanity Abroad" episodes, but this is the last one...for now. Don't want to tire of a fun topic. I'll pick these back up sometime in the future. If you have any cultures and/or countries whose insults you'd like to learn, let me know. Get full access to all bonus…

S1E228 - Chicken of the Year Strikes Again!
There I was, minding my own business, sick but still recording an episode all for you, when the worst person on Reddit reared his ugly head again. Did he have something deranged to say? Yes. Did I expect it? Absolutely not. Guess that's the one time you should expect Chicken of the Year to show…
