Ever desire to disassociate from humanity? Relate more to frogs, jellyfish, bugs, worms and toxic slime? Are you interested in the obscure, freaky, weird, bizarre and unusual oddities of nature, which are much cooler than us? Then this is the show for you! The biology podcast that scientists, teachers and parents would rather pretend does not exist, as we mock the natural abominations which own this planet, and the people who refuse to realize this! We are a satirical, absurdist, gonzo, troll, parody, comedy show! We twist facts, lie and over-exaggerate! Do NOT believe any LIES we feed you!

Darwin's Deviations - Remastered EP3: Buttprint of the Ocean Bottom
play

10/08/22 • 16 min

The episode's main character is a cholesterol-infused blobby mess that never gets enough exercise. It rather prefers to eat scraps off of the floor and leave butt impressions on the filthy bacteria-infested bed it calls home. It also tries to talk about an interesting prehistoric species, but without doing its homework :)

04/10/21 • 6 min

A mysterious cardboard box arrives at the doorstep of an aspiring web sleuth, who soon finds himself entangled in the unexpected absurdity of another dimension. A dimension not only of...sound, it's a podcast, but of (unsound) mind. A journey into an abhorrent wasteland whose boundaries are that of... well... there are no boundaries, pretty bottom of the barrel here...

His next stop, the Darwinverse!

======================

This cinematic masterpiece was written, recorded, edited... and scripted, acted, produced... and directed by: Your Friendly Neighborhood Death Investigator

No fruit was harmed during the making of this scene (cuz I murdered it beforehand)

Darwin's Deviations - 11. Oscillatoria: Slimy Asexual POND Scum
play

11/17/20 • 33 min

The most asexual episode...that will blow you away with the most F-bombs! Oscillatoria, and all cyanobacteria, are slimy, scummy, invisible...they do not need to be handsome, they are their own partners, and they are EVERYWHERE! You cannot escape them, they will even tear themselves apart in order to hitch a ride on your muddy sneaker....follow you home..and terrorize you with their overt photosynthetic efficiency...and existence...and capabilities to survive for over 3.5 billion years without ever getting laid! However dreadful their lives may seem...they’re more successful than our own :)

Darwin's Deviations - Remastered EP1: Skin-Shedding Cringefest
play

10/08/22 • 14 min

PLEASE SKIP THIS EPISODE!!!...unless you want to experience cringe so bad it will make YOU crawl out of your own skin! But really....this episode is NOT an accurate representation of what the rest of my podcast is like...the only thing it accurately depicts...is how dishonest portrayal of politeness, decency and what you perceive as "mass appeal" (and using Audacity for the first time EVER) are a recipe for failure! This episode exists just to be mocked by my future self...cuuz at least I cannot sue myself for slander and harassment! :D

======================

ORIGINAL LOSER EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Yay, the very first episode :) Geckolepis megalepis are sneaky little guys that are not afraid to show some skin. Actually, their survival depends on it! Join us as we delve into the life of a relatively new lizard species that loooves to pull a fast one on scientists. We also mix in a small dose of self-mutilation jokes and socialist ideology!

SIDENOTE: Apologies for the lower sound quality and.....politeness I guess :P Just like this gecko, I eventually shed my own skin and grew a new, more amazing and confident layer :)

A sneak peek at our behind-the-scenes research and chat with Christina! While preparing a potential collaborative episode... we got carried away, got lost in the rabbit hole of crazy monsters and aliens for 2 hours 😂 We had so much fun discussing monster artwork, we decided to share the funnies with you! P.S. Apologies for the audio quality, this was my first time using Zoom, or even doing a live collab!

======================

Huge THANK YOU!!! to The Crescent Hare, a.k.a. Christina (actually a barn owl in "human" disguise) for making me ROFL for over 2 hours 🤣, and for letting us feature her magnificent "Trick or Treat" art piece, featuring the cutiest barn owls you will ever lay your eyes on!!! This awesome art piece may be purchased HERE

Darwin's Deviations - Remastered EP2: Wolverine Frog: Exit Wounds
play

08/07/22 • 34 min

Trichobatrachus robustus, a.k.a the Hairy/Horror/Wolverine frog. Described somewhere after the late 1880s. Short and hairy, it prefers to inadvertently stab everyone who hugs it. Powers & Abilities include enhanced senses, animal-like attributes, a regenerative healing factor, retractable bone claws, an indestructible skeleton (it will destroy it itself before ever giving you a chance) and is a master foot-to-foot combatant. Its whole life, it felt like an animal. Nature made it a freak, we made it into an episode...but we also made it last too long :)

04/01/21 • 40 min

Death, Decay, Murder, Blood, Vampires...and other keywords which will make this episode more visible to the edgelords of the internet! Today we appease the Cosmic Joker and bring you a morbidly absurd April Fools experience! Yes, watermelons can be vampires too, and no, we are not pranking you. No siree. It's a real thing, just look at the sources below. I'm not making this stuff up. No really...it is a genuine traditional belief...as is killing the elderly with bread! No wait! I can explain! Damn, just listen to the episode... unless you're vegan! Or an old person. Or Serbian. Or a representative of the vampire pumpkin majority! Or... sane, in any sort of way :P

======================

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Autopsy. Podcast for falling victim to our April Fools pranks!..and relieving us of the dreadful curse!

Darwin's Deviations - 18. Extradimensional Psychological Entities
play

03/10/21 • 68 min

The Outer Space, Hyperspace and Inner Space collide!!!...as we attempt to redefine reality, searching for the aliens of our own psyche! The cosmos is as vast as the variety of its interpretations! We are all material constituents of the universal clockwork, yet psychological instigators of infinite abstract realities!

Want more pseudo-philosophical nonsense? Hit the Play button! We get very meta and introspective, so much that we find ourselves lost in our own mind... multiple times! Literally! Aliens, UFOs, dreams, hallucinations, hypnosis, psychedelics, even extra-dimensional lifeforms... we talk about it all, yet say nothing! What does any of this even mean? I don't know! I'm pulling stuff out of my ass! It is too large, and the alien probes needed some company :)

======================

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Aaron for helping bring our absurd nonsense to fruition, and playing the coolest character thus far!

We get abducted by communist aliens hell-bent on getting us drunk, stinky and carried away in useless conversations on weird Balkan alien nonsense. Along the way we sing, dance, roast a lamb and forget about Erica...until we sober up a bit and remember this is another collaborative train wreck episode :( Sorry listeners...as a token of our apology...do you want some garlic?
