Stupid Stonehenge updates, sacred circles without aliens, and I really have questions about the Kansas City Star. It's just another episode of Hot Drunk News! Also, it's official, Ancient D*ck Pics is my second favorite segment of Hot Drunk News. Obviously, "Would You Eat It?" is my fist.  Sources for today: https://www.popsci.com/science/stonehenge-of-the-netherlands-discovery/ https://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/world/article276615686.html https://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/world/article276610111.html https://news.artnet.com/art-world/pendant-mongolia-earliest-phal ..read more

I really tried with this episode, but there's not a whole lot that's uplifting in mythology for LGBTQI...and what I thought was going to be just a regular ragey episode turned into...well...you know it's bad when Other Jenn starts dropping F-bombs that aren't in the script. As I mention at the end, here are resources that I found for LGBTQI and specifically intersex support: https://interactadvocates.org/resources/intersex-organizations/  https://www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/article/resources-for-international-lgbtq-youth/  https://befrienders.org/  Here is the link for ..read more

This is the first and last time we EVER do an April Fool's episode because the joke was on us. Tech issues from beginning to end, and I had to record my end from my phone (apologies for the sound). I ended up having to call the cable company because my internet was SO bad. Turns out we had to have over 100 ft of cable replaced.  Other Jenn clearly believes it's because I don't eat rye crackers. I don't, won't, and have no plans to start, so...yeah.  Anyway, who says the ancients didn't have a sense of humor? They did...it was just...a little...off....and maybe a little bloodier.

Curses are the Hallmark cards of the ancient world. There's one for every occasion. To celebrate NOT Valentine's Day, we're exploring how the ancients used to sh*t-posting about their exes. And yes, this was originally supposed to come out on Valentine's Day, but I was at the transplant clinic for my treatment, and it just didn't happen. But since it's an anti-love episode, I'm just gonna claim this was my plan all along. WHATEVER! I DO WHAT I WANT! *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Original Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill a ..read more
