That's right! We're back with another installment of Hakuna Your Tatas, but this time, with a twist.

In this episode, after a very long, very cold week in Texas- we decided to surprise each other by picking our own topics and not revealing them until we were recording. We were both a little cabin fever-y and easily succumbed to laughter and jumbled words. Come join us for another trainwreck, from your favorite... train drivers?

With an unprecedented amount of verbal gymnastics, we bring to you part one of our series on Possession and Exorcisms... In this part, in between bouts of laughter and pure gibberish, we discuss the history of exorcisms, and some of the signs, symptoms, and Vatican requirements to receive an exorcism!    This podcast is powered by PodMoth Media Network.

After a brief hiatus, we're back, laughing and snorting, with another installment of Hakuna Your Tatas! Killers who seriously just need to calm their tits. Or grab a pair. We discuss the merits of both.      This podcast is powered by PodMoth Media Network.

Urban Legends... true? Maybe. Scary? Sometimes. Bad idea to watch movies about them while babysitting? Always. Join us as we discuss some of the popular ones, the ones based in truth, and some really random ones including severed spines and human eating hippos. Note: Had some strange noises and sound issues with this recording, so please forgive us in advance! Only a few more weeks before we're back to the good sound quality!

How many times can the human body get struck by lightning? Can a full sized adult male really fit through a pasta machine? (Okay, so it wasnt a pasta machine, but that's the way I picture it in my head.)  Join us as we dive into some strange but true stories about people who sustained injuries that most definitely should have killed them, but somehow did not! Lots of gore, lots of laughing, and one unexpected scream. 

What do chainsaws and vibrators have in common?  We're starting the year off with a ridiculous episode discussing that very question. The answer may surprise you! Welcome to 2021...

In this episode we close out 2020 with one more monster discussion, with Christmas themes throughout. Make sure you behave, or else... there will be Hell to pay. Literally.   (Special Music by Myuu: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies)

Here we go again, talking monsters... but this time, we know they aren't real. We just really really wish they were! Join us as we discuss some of our favorite crazy cryptids from mythology. Headless bodies, 8 legged horses, crazy old ladies that may or may not eat your children. This episode has it all!    *Note: We had some audio issues at the beginning of the episode that seem to subside after about 20 minutes. Please excuse any of the garbled noises. We tried to edit it, but there were hiccups in the recording this week. Thanks for understanding!*

In this episode, we discuss monsters of myth... or reality? Do you think the monsters of folklore could actually have walked the earth? Listen in and decide for yourself! ...but really, at the end of the day... why not?  (Disclaimer: For whatever reason, speaking is not high on our list of abilities during this episode. If hearing two people dissolving into fits of laughter for no apparent reason is offensive to you- listen at your own risk.)
