In this unapologetically queer and delightfully informative Pride special, Harmony and Haley dive headfirst into the weirdest (and gayest) rabbit holes imaginable. Discover the story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker, the badass psychologist who proved homosexuality wasn't a mental illness. Trace the wild, ancient, and surprisingly well-documented history of strap-ons, from carved rocks to 1960s puppeteers. And yes, we go there—Greek dildos, lesbian carabiners, and horny Neanderthals.

It’s unfiltered, it’s chaotic, it’s hilarious—and it’s a big gay celebration of queer history, weird facts, and sex-positive storytelling.

When Weird Meets Wiser: A Crossover with Midnight Facts for Insomniacs! From starting a show in a Prius to deep dives on cults, foreskins, and Rasputin’s (maybe) preserved parts... this episode is equal parts wild, weird, and wonderful. Featuring guests Shane Rogers & Duncan MacEwan, and talking all things Darwin Awards, dead kids (oops), ghosts, flat earth, and the world’s smallest violin.

This week, in the first half of the episode Harmony shares the ridiculous - but true! - story of the Dancing Plague of 1518, and in the second half Haley discusses the terrifying life and unsolved death of Cindy James.
