World Wildlife Day episode
March 3 marks World Wildlife Day and we’re celebrating the best way we know how—with some drinks and animals facts! In our Season 3 finale, we’re closing out with a boozy bang: Ashley and Maggie have each picked 5 different animals to feature (mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, and fish). The catch? They only have 3 minutes to describe each one. Pair that with the typical tipsiness and you’ve got an assortment of animal knowledge that’ll keep you laughing out loud and saying, “That actually exists?!”
Tune in now, wherever you get your podcasts!
Season 3 out now!
How have you been enjoying 2020? If it’s anything like us, you’re ready for some new content because everything else has been bumming you out.
So while Ashley reports from her parents’ home in upstate New York, and I call in from the remote wilderness of Maine, we’re brining you some COVID-19 inspired podcasting—complete with glitches, unintentional muting, and unintelligible banter.
Season 3 is rolling out now, every Wednesday, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. So grab a beer, get weird, and let’s learn about animals!
Cheers,
Maggie

Where do those episode titles come from?
You’ve probably noticed that every episode has a unique, often inappropriate or explicit title. So how do Ashley and Maggie select them? Certainly not during the episode - that’s the beauty of recording while intoxicated: they don’t remember half the things they say! So during the editing process, Ashley gives a first listen and will pull out one-liners that sound absurd, make no sense, or make her laugh out loud. In the next round of editing, Maggie will do the same thing. When there’s overlap in their selections, that’s the title they choose.
That being said, there are a lot of one-liners that are absurd, make no sense, and make us laugh out loud. So here are some of the episode titles not selected, but deserve honorable mention:
A skin mohawk

Stay in the trees, koalas!
