Now Fear This: A Podcast

What’s the calorie count of zucchini muffins? Fearing evil ob-gyns inseminating, like, everyone

This week’s podcast episode finds Becky and Merie watching a documentary* about the (all-too-common and creepy AF phenomenon) gynecologist trying to impregnate every women in sight.

Along the way, the girls address all the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

What is it about doctor appointments that turns Merie into the Incredible Hulk?

Does Becky really want to see sperm swimming inside a microscope?

Does Merie still believe her parents were on the up-and-up?

Is anyone actually interested in a socialism vs. fascism lesson from your two favorite pod-coasts? (us, either!)

What would your doctor do if you suddenly put both of your legs behind your head like a contortionist during your next ob-gyn exam?

Which one of these ladies is a former Young Republican? (And WHY?!)

Does Merie regret knowing the calorie count of a zucchini muffin? What is her odd connection to the Infamous Octo-mom?

Come for the gods of our podcasts. Stay for the sperm-bragging.

“Baby God” is on HBO, but don’t watch it until you hear this ep.!
