The Homunculus with Andy Kneis

Andy Kneis is back, and he’s been watching the YouTubes! This week we tackle the controversial experiments of a Russian YouTuber named Korny, who has allegedly created a real life homunculus. What’s a homunculus? So glad you asked!! From ancient Greek freaks to Medieval alchemical weirdos to modern post-Soviet YouTube creeps, many have tried to generate spontaneous life by putting human sperm in an artificial womb. The little guys that are created by sliming into cows tummies and chicken eggs are called homunculi, and they are almost definitely not real. Or ARE THEY?? As you might have guessed, this episode is mega gross and comes with a hearty trigger warning about sex, fluids, animal bothering, and just general nastiness. But you should also listen in if you love famous bassists, science, laughter, and bickering.
