    WEIRD, OBSCURE, AND POSSIBLY UNSAFE Episode 1: Danny DeVito All Lubed Up

    In this very first episode, Melissa, Jake, and Annamarie take on three weird topics that range from medical anomalies to tears in reality to intense meditation practices. Melissa gives us a run-down on the story of Tarrare, the hungriest man in history (who we also learn isn’t very nice to cats). Jake works through his cough and cold like a champ to bring us some wild information on Lam and the little grey men. And finally, Annamarie talks tulpas while Jake tries his hand at creating one himself.
