RNN Prime Exposure: Amoebas, Maggots & Brunch Grenades

Raya Nox is back at the RNN desk with a filthy, razor-sharp rundown of this week’s real public health news. From brain-eating amoebas in India and Legionnaires’ misting through Harlem’s cooling towers, to cholera ripping through Nigeria and salmonella turning holiday brunch into Russian roulette, nothing is safe — not even your eggs.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get grosser, Texas funds a $750 million sterile fly factory to stop flesh-eating maggots, while China warns travelers about chikungunya, the mosquito-borne virus that’s expanding faster than Starbucks.

It’s 15 minutes of unwrapped, unapologetic public health comedy — with one commercial break, a scandalous recap, and a word from CoColbie Productions about their new true-crime and history series Echoes of 9-5-6.

RNN: exposing what’s contagious, and who’s behind it.

Description:

In the sweltering Brownsville heat, Chef Gasto Enterik returns to confront the deadliest ingredient in your kitchen: the leftover. From counter-abandoned chicken breasts to fish that smells like it’s plotting revenge, Gasto takes listeners deep into the cold, dark vault of your fridge—and the microbial raves happening inside it.

With bulletproof food safety science, broken-English poetry, and more passion than a health inspector at a crime scene buffet, Gasto lays down the holy laws of refrigeration, reheating, and labeling. This episode covers:

• Why chicken has a strict two-hour room-temp limit (one if you’re outdoors)
• The one-day rule for fish, and why “maybe it’s fine” means “absolutely not”
• Pork, beef, and the bacterial mob hideouts hiding in your roast
• The Great Betrayal of cross-contamination
• Freezer purgatory and the art of safe thawing

If you’ve ever looked at a container in your fridge and thought, You gonna eat that?—Chef Gasto has your answer. And it’s probably “no.”

Disclaimer: Chef Gasto Enterik is a fictional character from the R-Naughty Wednesday Sketch Show. The food safety guidelines in this episode are real—Gasto is not.

Miss Information is finally on trial—and the courtroom is out of lube and patience.

Before there was a president, there was a pox.

In this shockingly funny and seductively smart episode, the R-Naughty roundtable reveals how George Washington saved the American Revolution—not with muskets, but with medicine.

Faced with a smallpox epidemic that was wiping out soldiers faster than British bullets, Washington made a radical move: he ordered the mass inoculation of the Continental Army. It was bold. It was illegal. And it worked.

Join narrator Mira Tell and our panel of dangerously qualified experts as they unmask:

• Washington’s personal brush with smallpox in Barbados
• The failed Canadian campaign, where contagion trumped combat
• The birth of American immunity policy in a Morristown snowstorm
• The Pustule-to-Patriot Pipeline (you’ll never look at scars the same)
• Why pus might’ve mattered more than powdered wigs

Complete with letters, lawbreaking, and one very sharp lancet—The General’s Gambit is a wild ride through the sexiest public health decision in U.S. history.

Some things are harder to regulate than a virus.

Like desire. Shame. And the sound of a foil wrapper at 3 a.m.

In this sultry, sharp-tongued bonus episode, R-Naughty’s own Rhonda Regulation takes the mic for Pullout Quotes—a rapid-fire roast of history’s most ridiculous anti-condom rhetoric. From Victorian moral panic to Reagan-era abstinence crusades to one very glittery Texas State Fair, she rates real public health quotes with surgical sass and laminated judgment.

Narrated by Mira Tell, this episode delivers laughs, latex, and just enough history to make you question your high school sex ed class.

Preseason Bonus Episode | R-Naughty Presents: Exposure Scroll Readings

Narrated by Mira Tell

In the summer of 1976, a mysterious outbreak turned a Philadelphia hotel into an invisible battlefield. Veterans checked in for camaraderie and cigars—some never checked out.

In this sultry preseason bonus episode, Mira Tell unseals the scroll on Legionnaires’ disease: the deadly, mist-borne illness that emerged from the air vents of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel and changed building safety forever.

With signature seduction and razor-sharp science, Mira follows the clues:

• A bacteria no one could name

• A CDC microbiologist who wouldn’t quit

• And a cooling tower with a lethal spray

From overlooked outbreaks to revised regulations, this is the story of how a hotel’s AC system became one of the most notorious disease vectors in U.S. history.

History gets unzipped, unrolled… and occasionally vaporized.
