Episode 14 – Valentine’s Special: Aphrodisiacs




BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, Cody and Chris discuss the strange belief of consuming something for arousal. No, not viagra, but aphrodisiacs. Chris delves into some of the historical objects used for arousal (tiger penis, anyone?). Cody takes a look at love potions and spells, some so ridiculous, you almost wouldn’t believe people pay fortunes for them. Almost. Chris talks briefly about an insane True Crime case centered around the aphrodisiac Spanish Fly. Cody shares stories of love spells gone horribly awry. BS Weekly talks about a Canadian restaurant - named after your grandma - that, on Valentine’s Day, lets couples have sex in the dirtiest of places: their bathroom. This episode is brought to you by the drinks: Love Potion 69, Bacon Soda, and Elysium Black Moscato.<br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&amp;refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&amp;isi=691797987&amp;ius=googleplaymusic&amp;link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idyya5igdpxb6ahq7jk367nvtze?t%3DBSP:_The_Idio%255Bt%255Dsynchrasy_Files%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> Advisory: 0-15s<br> Intro.
