About the Episode
When were queer people invented? Was it before or after sliced bread? In the basement, we ask the important questions.
This week, Colin tells the inspiring story of an Ancient Roman femme fatale, while Sierra reminisces on the gaudy luxury of the early 2000s. Join us as we discuss the insane capabilities of Gen Z, potential slogans for golden toilets, and how bookkeeping was so good in the year 200.
