Full Of It #291 - Dinosaurs Part 1

Merging with last week's topic about extinction, today we'll begin our broader discussion about dinosaurs. It dawned on me as I was surpassing the hour mark that there wouldn't be enough time to cover everything as we've only scratched the tip of the asteroid so please leave me any dinosaur titbits and queries below to cover next week!

We Did An AWFUL TikTok Challenge

Taylor Swift must be STOPPED | Novympia FAVES

For this month's collection of faves and shidders, yer gerls are asking why hand dryers are so inept, why rocky road is an elite snack and how Taylor Swift is so wildly flush.

Full Of It #290 - Extinction

Every once in a while I find myself on a Wikipedia deep-dive into extinct animal species and feel such a deep sense of curiosity and confusion. What do you mean there used to be a zebra/donkey hybrid in South Africa? You're telling me there was a magical gold frog that vanished from a mountain? WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY OWN DODO?

Full Of It #289 - Brothers & Sisters

I once again find myself scone-faced to realise I've never done a pod about something as obvious as my favourite TV show. If I could figure out exactly what it is about this show that gives me the warm fuzzies, I'd bottle and sell it. It's even more puzzling when I tell you that I find every character to be more irritating and objectionable than the last. Airing between 2006 and 2011 immediately after Desperate Housewives for the entirety of its run, Brothers & Sisters View Post

Olympia Paints Nova: 7 YEARS LATER

Full Of It #288 - The Early Internet

I dunno what we were watching the other day but it sparked an idea in me to see if I could list as many components of very early websites and Internet phenomena as possible in the hopes of sparking some memories in you all. So before Eurovision week kicks off let's sit down and have a lovely chill one complete with the usual throat farts.

Remembering Hannah

Over the weekend, we were informed of the tragic passing of cult member and NAR winner Hannah. Hannah joined our Patreon on day one and was a valued presence - as a friendly face in the Discord, having taken part in every Secret Santa and winning NAR as Pony Soprano.

We were lucky enough to have met Hannah on a number of occasions and will remember her for her positive energy, beautiful smile and vast knowledge. Many a day we would find ourselves in need of intel and would shoot Hannah ...

Full Of It #287 - Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is perhaps the most the internationally admired country singer in the history of the genre. With breasts as glorious as the sun over Tennessee, hair as high as Willie Nelson and the world's most endearing giggle, she's managed to cement herself as a cultural icon the likes of which we may never see again.

Nova Paints Olympia: 7 YEARS LATER

Way back when, we did a bunch of videos painting each other's faces with fairly alarming results. We decided to sit back down in the opposing chairs to see if 7 years have improved our skills, beginning with Nova tentatively doing Olympia's face in the hopes that another character doesn't emerge.

The 2-hour Patreon version of this video will drop tomorrow when it goes live on YouTube.

Full Of It #286 - The Disappearance of Hu Xinyu

Hu Xinyu was a Chinese high school student who disappeared in October of 2022 from the most menacingly large boarding school you've ever seen in your life. Of the 119 CCTV cameras spread over the campus, none were able to capture his leaving the premises which would spark an absolute social media conspiracy frenzy in China. His disappearance would inspire an army of armchair detectives to look into the bizarre circumstances that shadowed the story - in a vein reminiscent of the case of Elisa ...

Full Of It #285 - Young Nuns

The other day I watched a documentary that follows a couple of young women as they prepare for life as nuns. While I found it to be a fascinating watch, I also found myself frustrated, puzzled and highly amused since I'm not sure it's even entirely real. For this pod, I'm trying something that's proved popular in the past - I'll be watching the entire thing during the episode, providing audio commentary which offers more questions than answers.

You can watch the documentary here:

Full Of It #284 - Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is a small-pond, unsigned artist from Hoboken, New Jersey.

Now listen, am I fan of Taylor Swift? No. Will I spend the entirety of this pod dunking on her? Again, no. But, what I'll try to do is break down exactly what makes this woman so astronomically popular that she's become the first billionaire whose income is solely from music.

Full Of It #283 - The Murder of Sheena Bora

If this was a story arc on Knots Landing you'd be well within your rights to hurl a shoe at the TV for its implausibility. In deciding what to make this extra-large pod about, I knew I wanted to cover a mystery so naturally I turned to Netflix. The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth had only recently arrived so I clicked on episode 1 and found myself gasping for air on so many occasions through it's 4-episode run that my throat suffered wind damage.
