We didn’t mention it in the show but also pb-resources.com is a fantastic website helping the Black community, including the Black Trans community, through this period of extreme police brutality. It’s really hard to look through the profiles of all these wonderful and amazing human beings but I urge you to learn more about how you can help the Black community right now.
Edit (January 2021): We have decided that this will be our last epiosde for the foreseeable future. Thank you so much for listening!

111: Fantastic Four (2005)
Dana and Lysa combine their powers to talk Sue Storm’s bobbies, Chris Evans’s nakedness, and rubber assholes.
So this was recorded a long time before Chris Evans’s nude pics came out, but there are comments in this episode that Lysa made that in hindsight are gross and inappropriate. However, we always talk about gross and inappropriate things, and we do not advocate for viewing or sharing these pics. We are clearly, unfortunately, psychic.
Content warning for suicide mention.
