Welcome to season 3 bio baby! Grab your spelunking gear and turn on your headlamp cause to ring in the season we’re crawling deep into the dark chambers of a cave. Follow Mmeeeeee…… oh look! Is that a bat?! No, it’s a cave snake hanging from the ceiling… gross! something with too many legs just crawled across my foot. Hey is that a — ow! Sorry I bumped into a stalagmite — is that a wolf spider eating an amphipod? Sick bro. Uh oh did we pass that pile of australopithecus bones before? Are we… going in circles? Don’t worry guys, we’ve got our headlamps, and if we get hungry we can eat these weird, blind, transparent fish. Woah check out this cute rock I found! It’s smiling at me.

2.7: geyser?! I hardly know her
Are you ready to celebrate ?! It’s the last episode of season 2! Yeah, it’s nearly a month late, but the bio babes are doing their best! In this episode we are joined by a very special guest to talk about Yellowstone National Park. We chat about how much we love those good good glacial landscapes, wolf 907 (rip), our experience following bison herds around to steal their shit, doing science communication on location, keeping high schoolers alive in the woods, and everyone’s favorite Yellowstone geyser, Steamboat! No, it’s not Old Faithful, don’t say her name in our presence. We also recorded this episode while watching the Mike Tyson / Jake Paul fight so stay till the end for our live reaction to seeing Tyson’s bare ass.

2.6: and the crowd goes (re)wild
You ever think to yourself, “damn, I wish I was alive back when the mammoths were dancing around in their giant clogging shoes.”? Of course you do. Trust me, we all do. Well, you missed it, and so did I, but instead of cursing the linear progression of time and spiraling into a pit of despair, we can instead use paleoecology to paint a picture (both literally and, like, descriptively) of what it must have been like to see them big ol’ clompin’ stompers back in the day. In this episode, we’re joined by Peter, a PhD student, gay icon, and friend of the pod, to talk about his field of research, Ru Paul's Drag Race, carbonized peach pits, paleoart, and Georgia's best president, Jimmy Carter.

2.5: quips, queries, & quandaries
Do you have questions? Good! Cause we’ve got answers! Not, like, answers to *your* questions specifically, we just have answers to Mr. Lovell’s questions. Nobody else is getting their questions answered. Just Mr. Lovell. Like, I guess if you happen to have an overlapping question with Mr. Lovell then you will get your question answered but we’re technically only answering questions that Mr. Lovell asked us. So like, we’d answer your question maybe if you sent us one in the mail maybe? But then we’d have to give out an address and thats like, yikes y’know? … maybe you could DM us on instagram with your question and we might answer it? Yeah that would work. But like, Mr. Lovell already has our phone numbers cause he’s a friend of the show. So, in this episode we’re going to answer questions that Mr. Lovell asked us. To be clear, we’re not answering anyone else’s questions at this time, just Mr. Lovell’s. Sorry.

2.4: the long awaited gay animal special
It’s finally happening, it’s the gay animal special! To celebrate pride month, Libby is taking us all on a tour through the colorful world of queer animals. Want to learn about lesbian albatross power couples? Gay dolphins? Polyamorous ducks? Trans deer? Bonobos and their free love hippie lifestyle? This episode is so cute we even cry a little. Gender and sexuality is a weird amorphous spectrum of insanity — and not just in humans, shit’s wiggity throughout the animal kingdom. But remember there’s no such thing as normal, especially not here. So listen to this episode to hear two gay animals talk about gay animals. It’d be homophobic not to!
