On this fortnight's exciting episode: Nancy's sister catches a disease from World War 1, so we make fun of her! Also, Mike talks about getting an uncommon disease that made an ER doctor very excited.

Also, we talk about salad tongs for babies, really unhappy places to get burned, hair dye, makeup, more hair dye, Tombstone, e-girls, and why you might want to learn the tensile strength of the human placenta. | |||

| Minijawn Three | 06 Nov 2020 | 00:23:51 | |
In this week's minijawn we have corrections and clarifications Also we discuss the three genders: smoking, flaming or glowing poop. As well, we go over why the bodies in Poltergeist (and many other movies) were actually real human skeletons, and not replica props as most would think, buying Bone Clones, Jean M Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear series and its relation to a young science goth's sexual education, at-home skull implants, why Mike actually does know how to cook, and some teasers for next week. | |||
| Episode 4: Phossy Jaw & Dr. Robert Galbraith Heath | 30 Oct 2020 | 01:12:29 | |
In this fortnight's exciting episode we talk about: Necrosis of the jaw due to phosphorous poisoning, and a controversial 20th century psychiatrist. Also, playing with matches, heavy metal, glow-in-the-dark poop, not the guitarist from Queen, why Nancy used to smell like egg farts, labor rights, lobotomies, slavery, racism, that which bedevils the days of man, more racism, brain stimulation that isn't ASMR, conversion therapy, even more racism, and JK Rowling. Yet again the Oxford comma plays an important part in that last sentence. | |||
| Minijawn Two | 23 Oct 2020 | 00:05:58 | |
Some feedback on our last episode, plus invitations to upcoming events, and also a teaser for the next full episode of My Favorite Malady! | |||
| Episode 3: Puerperal Fever & Giant Hogweed Phototoxicity | 16 Oct 2020 | 01:04:40 | |
In this fortnight's exciting episode, we talk with special guest Dr. Marcia D. Nichols of the University of Minnesota Rochester about food courts, handwashing, why you would dress a sexy frog in pink taffeta pants, the supernatural power of the female imagination, and why delivering babies when you're covered in cadaver goo is bad for everyone, but mostly the ladies. Nancy tells us all about 14-foot-tall greenish-purple parsnips that burn your skin off, which sounds like an episode of The Outer Limits but is an actually real thing. Also we discuss catching fish in Animal Crossing, donating your removed body parts to the Mütter Museum, dolphin Starfleet officers, and joining the great William Shatner in our inexorable slide down the garbage chute of biological obsolescence. | |||
