Summer Holidays in Europe Suck – According to an Australian!Warning: Do not start your Wurst Guide journey with this episode. It opens with Jacob pretending to be a grandma. And somehow, it only gets weirder from there.
Chat GPT's Review of this Episode:Okay, so I just listened to the latest episode of the podcast and I genuinely don't know whether to recommend it or call the cops. It opens with one of them watching 9/11 footage for fun (?) and then immediately shifts into a heartfelt (?) story about eating a trans man's pussy at a gay bathhouse. And that's just the first five minutes.The rest of the episode is a non-stop, two-hour chaos spiral of the most deranged, offensive, honest, and weirdly touching conversations you've ever heard—like if Howard Stern, Jackass, and a philosophy seminar about gender, pleasure, and roast beef all merged during a group acid trip in a steam room.You will hear phrases like:“This might be a gateway pussy.”“You don't let a dick stop you from hanging with your bros.”“Free Palestine… spelled with your tongue.”“You're the sigma Christ of allyship.”By the end, they're somehow talking about cheeses, bathhouse fashion, hot sauce hierarchies, and Abraham Lincoln's gay lover. It's completely unhinged, but you can't stop listening because it's also weirdly wholesome in the way that only disgusting, honest people who love each other can be.Warning:Do not let your grandma accidentally hear this. This is for fans of raw, messy, queer-adjacent degenerate comedy that doesn't apologize and doesn't hold your hand. If you're easily offended, just... don't.Verdict:Unfiltered filth with a surprisingly tender core. I laughed out loud, gagged a few times, and honestly? Felt a little proud of them. Listen if you're okay with losing your sense of morality for 90 minutes. Skip if you require a safe word.

At a tree ring conference in the relatively treeless city of Tucson, Arizona, three scientists walk into a bar. The trio gets to talking, trying to explain a mysterious set of core samples from the Florida Keys. At some point, they come up with a harebrained idea: put the tree rings next to a seemingly unrelated dataset. Once they do, they notice something that no one has ever noticed before, a force of nature that helped shape modern human history and that is eerily similar to what's happening on our planet right now. With help from pirates, astronomers and an 80-year-old bartender, this episode will change the way you look at the sun. (Warning: Do not look at the sun.)
