Natalie and Drew attempt to figure out what, exactly, chickens are. We talked about the strange life of Mike The Alive Headless Chicken, the exotic jungle origins of the humble normal chicken, and what chickens use their brains for. We also talked Chicken Baby, Shrimpy Chicken, Chicken Frankenstein, and more. Before we get to it, slam the Subscribe Now button! Right now! Right here:

And that’s Chicken A La King! “Mmmmm.”

Natalie & Drew dig deep to find the least boring sports-related facts possible. We tell you what it’s like to live in the third-largest football stadium in America, and why Drew’s childhood included a gun-factory bar with an outdoor chimp who smoked cigarettes. (It’s real - but read the article after you listen, if you would.)

Did you hang out with an imprisoned primate as a child? Play Titanic? Eat Bosco Sticks? Have a gym teacher yell Touch My Ass at you while you’re running? Then leave us a comment right here on the newsletter. We read all your comments here:
